Iceberg, dead ahead! Teeming with mice, and on a collision course with the beaches directly outside Gnawnia's castle, this Iceberg must be stopped at all costs! You must be the rank of Lord/Lady to travel to this dangerous area. |
Overview
The Iceberg is a location in the Rodentia region requiring a minimum rank of Lord or Lady and the Icebreaker License to enter. Mice in this location may steal points, gold, or multiple pieces of cheese if not captured.
Hunters with the Lord/Lady rank can obtain the Icebreaker License from the Harbour Cartographer or S.S. Huntington IV Cartographer for 145,000 gold.
All mice found in the Iceberg are part of the Icewing's Invasion group and are weak only to Hydro weapons.
Traveling from this location does not reset the Hunter's progress.
The hunter is automatically transported to the Slushy Shoreline after successfully fighting through the iceberg, or when reaching 250 hunts while in the Hidden Depths or The Deep Lair.
Hunters must navigate each zone and then defeat a General to gain access to the following zone. Capturing mice in these zones will move the Hunter through the Iceberg. Failing to capture mice in these zones will sometimes cause Hunters to lose progress.
Each zone has a set length and when Hunters complete their move through a zone they will encounter one of four Generals which must be captured before the Hunter can move into the following zone.
- Treacherous Tunnels - 300 feet
- Iceberg General encounter
- Brutal Bulwark - 300 feet
- Iceberg General encounter
- Bombing Run - 1,000 feet
- Iceberg General encounter
- Mad Depths - 200 feet
- Iceberg General encounter
Accessing Icewing's Lair
Hunters will enter Icewing's Lair after successfully navigating all 1,800 feet of the Iceberg and capturing a final Iceberg General. The first time Hunters enter Icewing's Lair, Icewing will not be present and Hunters will need to capture the Frostwing Commander. On all subsequent runs, whether Icewing is present depends on how many hunts Hunters needed to reach Icewing's Lair.
- 425 Hunts and Under:
- Frostwing Commander is present only during first run through the Iceberg
- Icewing is present during all runs through Iceberg, except the first
- Over 425 Hunts:
- Frostwing Commander is always present
- Icewing is never present
Reaching Icewing's Lair and successfully capturing either the Frostwing Commander or Icewing will move the Hunter to the Slushy Shoreline and award the Hunter with reward chests based on the number of hunts taken:
- 275 hunts or fewer rewards three chests: Iceberg Treasure Chest, Iceberg Strongbox and Iceberg Supply Chest
- After 275 hunts, hunters have an option to retreat back to the start, and the following message is displayed in the Hunter's Journal:
- The Iceberg has smashed the first of the bonus chests! Two more still remain, so keep hunting!
- 276 through 350 hunts rewards two chests: Iceberg Strongbox and Iceberg Supply Chest
- After 350 hunts elapse, the following message is displayed in the Journal:
- The Iceberg has smashed the second of the bonus chests! There is still one more chest to claim!
- 351 through 425 hunts rewards one chest: Iceberg Supply Chest
- After 425 hunts elapse, the following message is displayed in the Journal:
- The Iceberg has smashed the last of the bonus chests, and Icewing has moved on to supervise another Iceberg invasion.
She has left her second-in-command in charge, who must still be defeated to destroy the Iceberg and protect the good people of Gnawnia.
With most of the fighting mice leaving the Iceberg, the Living Salt mouse can finally roam free, making progress significantly easier.
Reaching the Hidden Depths
To access the Hidden Depths Hunters must capture Icewing in fewer than 250 hunts and with either Deep Freeze Base, Iceberg Boiler Base, or Ultimate Iceberg Base armed. It will take a minimum of ten hunts to travel through the 200 feet of the Hidden Depths and reach the Deep Lair, so Hunters must have at least eleven hunts (10 for Hidden Depths, 1 for The Deep Lair) remaining after defeating Icewing and entering the Hidden Depths if they wish to reach The Deep Lair and capture the Deep Mouse.
- At hunt number 249, the following message is displayed in the journal:
- With the Iceberg crumbling all around you, you figure you have but one more turn left. It's time to put everything you have into this one final hunt!
- At hunt number 250, the hunter is automatically transported to Slushy Shoreline and the following message is displayed in the journal:
- It's too dangerous to hunt here any longer! With seconds to spare, you jump in your life raft and paddle furiously away, swearing to return next time and conquer!
While in this area, the heads-up display adds an additional progress meter, with the following hint:
- The Iceberg is crumbling! You have only until Hunt #250 to defeat the Deep Mouse!
Accessing The Deep Lair
Hunter's must travel through the 200 feet of the Hidden Depths and enter The Deep Lair before reaching 250 hunts.
The Deep Mouse is a guaranteed catch on hunt 250 unless Hunters fail to attract the mouse, it is therefore recommended that Hunters arm SUPER|brie+ if they have not captured the Deep Mouse by hunt 249.
Capturing the Deep Mouse will move the Hunter to the Slushy Shoreline.
- At hunt number 249, the following message is displayed in the journal:
- With the Iceberg crumbling all around you, you figure you have but one more turn left. It's time to put everything you have into this one final hunt!
- At hunt number 250, the hunter is automatically transported to Slushy Shoreline and the following message is displayed in the journal:
- It's too dangerous to hunt here any longer! With seconds to spare, you jump in your life raft and paddle furiously away, swearing to return next time and conquer!
- After defeating the Deep Mouse, the hunter is automatically transported to the Slushy Shoreline and the following message is displayed in the journal:
- With the Deep Mouse in your trap, the Iceberg finally begins to crack apart around you. With seconds to spare, you jump in your life raft and paddle furiously away, laughing about your incredible victory!
Heads-Up Display
The image in the HUD shows the Hunter's progress into the Iceberg.
The main HUD in the Iceberg tracks the following items:
- The Hunter's current location within the Iceberg
- The number of feet traveled
- The number of hunts taken.
- The progress toward obtaining the reward chests, with the following tool-tips:
- Beat the Iceberg before Hunt #275 to earn the Treasure Chest
- Beat the Iceberg before Hunt #350 to earn the Strongbox
- Beat the Iceberg before Hunt #425 to earn the Supply Chest
- Smashed to smithereens! for smashed reward chests
- Status of the Hunter's Ice Drill, number of Drill Charges used, and number of Drill Charges in inventory.
- The tool tip before purchasing an Ice Drill reads:
- Want to descend through the Iceberg faster? Buy the Ice Drill Mk. 1 from the General Store and carve your way to victory!
- The tool-tip after purchasing an Ice Drill reads:
- Use Drill Charges to drill 20 feet down. You can use it [X] times during this Iceberg invasion.
- Caution: Drilling past Mouse Generals will skip them and their loot.
- The tool-tip after an Ice Drill overheats reads:
- Your ice drill has overheated! You have used it to the maximum [X] times during this Iceberg invasion.
- The Hunter's inventory of Sticky Charms and Wax Charms
After entering the Hidden Depths and while in The Deep Lair, the portion of the HUD that tracks the reward chests changes to a status bar that crumbles as each hunt is taken. The tool tip reads:
- The Iceberg is crumbling! You have only until Hunt #250 to defeat the Deep Mouse!
Hunting Equipment
There are a number of items that can help the Hunter better navigate the Iceberg.
Weapons
These weapons have special effects in the Iceberg.
More information on how to obtain them can be found on their respective pages.
They are obtained in a specific order as stated below:
Bases
These weapons have special effects in the Iceberg.
More information on how to obtain them can be found on their respective pages.
Unlike the weapons, the bases do not need to be obtained in a specific order.
- Magnet Base
- Spiked Base
- Remote Detonator Base
- Hearthstone Base
- Deep Freeze Base
- Ultimate Iceberg Base
- Iceberg Boiler Base
Charms
These charms can be used in the Treacherous Tunnels, Brutal Bulwark, Bombing Run, and The Mad Depths. They provide no effect in Icewing's Lair, the Hidden Depths, or The Deep Lair.
The Sticky Charm prevents losing progress when failing to catch a Bergling mouse.
- A Sticky Charm 5-Pack can be bought at the Slushy Shoreline Charm Shoppe or Iceberg Charm Shoppe for 1 War Scrap.
- Sticky Charms are dropped as loot by mice in the Iceberg.
The Wax Charm provides a progress bonus of 1 foot when catching a Bergling mouse.
- A Wax Charm 5-Pack can be bought at the Slushy Shoreline Charm Shoppe or Iceberg Charm Shoppe for 1 War Scrap.
- Wax Charms are dropped as loot by mice in the Iceberg.
The Super Wax Charm provides a progress bonus of 2 feet when catching a Bergling mouse.
- Super Wax Charms can be bought from Ronza's Traveling Shoppe or purchased on the Marketplace.
Drills and Drill Charges
Ice Drills are a specialized drill used to quickly bore through ice, assisting Hunters in reaching greater depths in the Iceberg. There are four types of Ice Drills. Ice Drills and the Drill Charges used to power them can be purchased in the Slushy Shoreline General Store or Iceberg General Store.
The more advanced the Ice Drill, the more Drill Charges it can use before it overheats. Once an Ice Drill overheats hunters will not be able to use it again until they start a new run in the Iceberg.
Each Ice Drill can skip 20 feet of the Iceberg per Drill Charge used.
Drilling past Iceberg Generals will skip them and their loot.
Drill Charges cannot be used to skip past Icewing's Lair, but can be used in the Hidden Depths to reach The Deep Lair.
Upgrading an Ice Drill during an Iceberg invasion will not cool it down.
- Example: Using 7 Drill Charges with the Ice Drill Mk. III and then upgrading to the Diamond Ice Drill in the same run will allow you to use 1 extra Drill Charge on that invasion, not an additional 8.
A hunter can own only one of each type of Ice Drill at a time
Drills can be repurchased after an upgrade if hunters wish to have a complete set, though a complete set confers no bonuses.
Type of Ice Drill |
Maximum Drill Charges Used (Per Invasion) |
Cost |
Free Drill Charges With First Purchase Only |
---|---|---|---|
Ice Drill Mk. I | 5 | 50,000 gold 10 War Scraps |
3 Drill Charges |
Ice Drill Mk. II | 6 | 100,000 gold 25 War Scraps Ice Drill Mk. I |
3 Drill Charges |
Ice Drill Mk. III | 7 | 150,000 gold 50 War Scraps Ice Drill Mk. II |
4 Drill Charges |
Diamond Ice Drill | 8 | 300,000 gold 100 War Scraps Ice Drill Mk. III Diamond Drill Bits |
5 Drill Charges |
Each use of a Drill Charge leaves the following message in the Hunter's Journal:
- I used a Drill Charge and carved 20 feet through the Iceberg!
Hovering over the Drill button on the Heads Up Display (HUD) of the Iceberg normally shows this message:
- Use Drill Charges to drill 20 feet down. You can use it [X] times during this iceberg invasion.
- Caution: Drilling past Mouse Generals will skip them and their loot.
After using the maximum number of Drill Charges, the message changes to:
- Your Ice Drill has overheated! You have used it the maximum [X] times during this Iceberg invasion.
Cold Fusion Bomb
The Cold Fusion Bomb can be purchased in the Iceberg General Store or Slushy Shoreline General Store in exchange for 25,000 gold and 1 Bottled Cold Fusion.
When activated on the Iceberg, the Cold Fusion Bomb ends the Hunter's current invasion and moves them to the Slushy Shoreline. All Iceberg progress is lost.
The Cold Fusion Bomb may be used at any time, but scatters the bonus chests, rendering them uncollectible.
Because the mice on the Iceberg were not defeated, this does not count as an Iceberg completion so far as the King's record keepers are concerned.
Using the Cold Fusion Bomb leaves the following message in the Hunter's Journal:
- The Cold Fusion Bomb shudders, shakes, and coughs. The lights go dim. For a good while, nothing happens. Then, suddenly, the entire Iceberg around you instantly turns to water. You are swamped, and barely able to keep your head above water. When you finally manage to find solid ground beneath your feet, you find yourself on the Slushy Shoreline.
Mice
The mice found in Icewing's Lair are all part of the Icewing's Invasion group and are weak only to Hydro weapons.
Standard Cheese and SUPER|brie+ will attract all mice found in the Iceberg.

Generals
Generals appear as an encounter between the Treacherous Tunnels and the Brutal Bulwark, between the Brutal Bulwark and the Bombing Run, between the Bombing Run and The Mad Depths, and between The Mad Depths and Icewing's Lair. Generals are not encountered beyond Icewing's Lair.
Hunters must defeat a General in order to move into the next zone. Using a Drill Charge will skip the General encounter and move the Hunter into the next zone.
If a mouse is caught near the end of a zone that would advance a hunter beyond the start of the next zone, the following message is displayed on the Journal:
- I caught an X Mouse and advanced through the Iceberg, but was stopped by a General! A challenge awaits!
If a mouse is caught near the end of a zone that advances a hunter perfectly to the end of their current zone, the above message is not displayed.
General Cycling
Hunters will encounter a randomly chosen General between zones and will have 3 encounters in which to capture it.
If the Hunter fails to capture that General after three encounters, another General is randomly selected from the four and the Hunter will have another three encounters to capture the new General.
Hunters can encounter the same General as in the previous set of encounters.
Successfully capturing a General will move the Hunter into the next zone.
General Drheller
- Failing to capture General Drheller will send the Hunter back 6 feet into the previous zone.
- Hunters will then need to capture mice to move them forward 6+ feet to the General encounter, where they will encounter General Drheller a second time.
- Failing to capture General Drheller for a second time will again send the Hunter 6 feet back into the previous zone.
- Hunters will then need to capture mice to move them forward 6+ feet to the General encounter, where they will encounter General Drheller a third time.
- Failing to capture General Drheller for a third time will again send the Hunter 6 feet back into the previous zone.
- Hunters will then need to capture mice to move them forward 6+ feet to the General encounter, where they will encounter a randomly selected General.
By purposefully failing to capture a General, Hunters can stay in the General encounter and cycle through Generals until the mouse they wish to encounter is selected.
Mice
The Iceberg General mice are all part of the Icewing's Invasion group and are weak only to Hydro weapons.
Standard Cheese and SUPER|brie+ will attract all four Generals, but SUPER|brie+ will increase the attraction rate of General Drheller.

Icewing's Lair
To enter Icewing's Lair, Hunters must complete The Mad Depths and either defeat an Iceberg General or use a Drill Charge to skip over the General encounter.
Successfully capturing the Frostwing Commander will end the Hunter's Iceberg run and move them to the Slushy Shoreline.
Successfully capturing Icewing without either Deep Freeze Base, Iceberg Boiler Base, or Ultimate Iceberg Base armed will end the Hunter's Iceberg run and move them to the Slushy Shoreline.
Successfully capturing Icewing with either Deep Freeze Base, Iceberg Boiler Base, or Ultimate Iceberg Base armed, and in fewer than 250 hunts, will allow the Hunter to access the Hidden Depths.
Invading Icewing's Lair for the First Time
Hunters entering Icewing's Lair for the first time will not be able to encounter Icewing. The Frostwing Commander will be present, along with Frostlance Guard mice.
Upon entering Icewing's Lair for the first time, the following message is displayed on the Journal:
- I entered Icewing's Lair. Icewing herself has since moved on, but she's left behind her second-in-command, the Frostwing Commander, who must be defeated to save the good people of Gnawnia from this icy invasion!
Completing the invasion by capturing the Frostwing Commander will generate the following message in the journal (if completed within 425 hunts):
- I successfully fought through the Iceberg in X hunts, saving the good people of Gnawnia from the wrath of Icewing's invasion! In amongst the Iceberg's wreckage is X bonus chests!
If more than 425 hunts are taken, the message is shorter:
- I successfully fought through the Iceberg in X hunts, saving the good people of Gnawnia from the wrath of Icewing's invasion!
Additional Invasions
Hunters reaching Icewing's Lair in 425 or fewer hunts will be able to encounter Icewing.
Icewing will retreat when Hunters exceed 425 hunts while in Icewing's Lair.
Hunters will not be able to encounter Icewing if they enter Icewing's Lair with more than 425 hunts.
After 425 hunts, Icewing is replaced by the Frostwing Commander.
Upon entering Icewing's Lair after 425 hunts, the following message is displayed on the Journal:
- I entered Icewing's Lair. Icewing herself has since moved on, but she's left behind her second-in-command, the Frostwing Commander, who must be defeated to save the good people of Gnawnia from this icy invasion!
When reaching Icewing's Lair within 425 hunts, the following message is displayed on the Journal:
- I entered Icewing's Lair. This is it – the big showdown!
After defeating Icewing using Steam Laser Mk. II, the Hunter's weapon is converted to Steam Laser Mk. II (Broken!), with this message in the journal:
- Fueled by her terrible defeat at your hands, Icewing has destroyed and defaced your trap in a fit of icy rage! But in her haste, she seems to have dropped something – perhaps combining it with the destroyed trap parts will create a trap she truly fears!
After the second defeat of Icewing, the following message is displayed in the journal:
- The Iceberg begins to shudder and shake, no longer held together by Icewing's terrible magic. Her capture sets off explosions that rip through walls, collapsing entire sections at once.Leaping from the crumbling wreckage, you notice a tunnel collapsing in the distance. If only you had more time and a safe method to preserve the Iceberg's structure, perhaps you could have explored it!
Whether the hunter remains in the Iceberg or is returned to Slushy Shoreline after catching Icewing depends only on how many hunts have elapsed and what base was armed, and not what trap was in use.
Accessing the Hidden Depths
To access the Hidden Depths, Hunters must defeat Icewing with either Deep Freeze Base, Iceberg Boiler Base, or Ultimate Iceberg Base armed and in fewer than 250 hunts.See Note
Upon entering Icewing's Lair within 250 hunts and with either Deep Freeze Base, Iceberg Boiler Base, or Ultimate Iceberg Base available to arm, the following message is displayed:
- I entered Icewing's Lair and my Deep Freeze Base (or Iceberg Boiler Base/Ultimate Iceberg Base) began glowing! Something's happening!
After defeating Icewing using either Deep Freeze Base, Iceberg Boiler Base, or Ultimate Iceberg Base and within 249 hunts, the following message is displayed in the journal (except when Steam Laser Mk. II is also armed), as the hunter enters the Hidden Depths:
- The Iceberg begins to shudder and shake, no longer held together by Icewing's terrible magic. Her capture sets off explosions that rip through walls, collapsing entire sections at once. In response, your Deep Freeze Base (or Iceberg Boiler Base/Ultimate Iceberg Base) emits an icy chill, and the explosions slow and then cease. The Iceberg continues to shudder distressingly, but you judge you have [X] hunts remaining to explore.
Mice
The mice found in Icewing's Lair are all part of the Icewing's Invasion group and are weak only to Hydro weapons.
Standard Cheese and SUPER|brie+ will attract all mice found in this zone.
Capturing Icewing with either Deep Freeze Base, Iceberg Boiler Base, or Ultimate Iceberg Base armed, and in fewer than 250 hunts, will allow Hunters to access the Hidden Depths.

Hidden Depths
The Hidden Depths have a depth of 200 feet.
To access the Hidden Depths, Hunters must defeat Icewing with either Deep Freeze Base, Iceberg Boiler Base, or Ultimate Iceberg Base armed and in fewer than 250 hunts.
After defeating Icewing using either Deep Freeze Base, Iceberg Boiler Base, or Ultimate Iceberg Base and within 249 hunts, the following message is displayed in the journal (except when Steam Laser Mk. II is also armed), as the hunter enters the Hidden Depths:
- The Iceberg begins to shudder and shake, no longer held together by Icewing's terrible magic. Her capture sets off explosions that rip through walls, collapsing entire sections at once. In response, your Deep Freeze Base (or Iceberg Boiler Base/Ultimate Iceberg Base) emits an icy chill, and the explosions slow and then cease. The Iceberg continues to shudder distressingly, but you judge you have [X] hunts remaining to explore.
At hunt number 249, the following message is displayed in the journal:
- With the Iceberg crumbling all around you, you figure you have but one more turn left. It's time to put everything you have into this one final hunt!
At hunt number 250, the hunter is automatically transported to Slushy Shoreline and the following message is displayed in the journal:
- It's too dangerous to hunt here any longer! With seconds to spare, you jump in your life raft and paddle furiously away, swearing to return next time and conquer!
Accessing The Deep Lair
To access The Deep Lair, Hunters must complete the Hidden Depths before reaching 250 hunts.
Mice
The mice found in the Hidden Depths are all part of the Icewing's Invasion group and are weak only to Hydro weapons.

The Deep Lair
Hunter's must travel through the 200 feet of the Hidden Depths and enter The Deep Lair before reaching 250 hunts.
The Deep Mouse is a guaranteed catch on hunt 250 unless Hunters fail to attract the mouse, it is therefore recommended that Hunters arm SUPER|brie+ if they have not captured the Deep Mouse by hunt 249.
Capturing the Deep Mouse will move the Hunter to the Slushy Shoreline.
- At hunt number 249, the following message is displayed in the journal:
- With the Iceberg crumbling all around you, you figure you have but one more turn left. It's time to put everything you have into this one final hunt!
- At hunt number 250, the hunter is automatically transported to Slushy Shoreline and the following message is displayed in the journal:

- After defeating the Deep Mouse, the hunter is automatically transported to the Slushy Shoreline and the following message is displayed in the journal:
- With the Deep Mouse in your trap, the Iceberg finally begins to crack apart around you. With seconds to spare, you jump in your life raft and paddle furiously away, laughing about your incredible victory!
Mice
The Deep mouse is the only mouse found in The Deep Lair and is part of the Icewing's Invasion group and is weak only to Hydro weapons.

Hunting Strategy
Hunting Tips by Larry
Our brave and daring scouts have reported that the Iceberg is broken up into five distinct zones with different mice in each. The further down you go, the more dangerous it becomes!
Treacherous Tunnels: Tunnel Rats roam these halls, ever-expanding the Iceberg's tunnel network. Their tools can be put to use making your own tunnels, so catch as many of them as you can!
Brutal Bulwark: Dangerous Brutes live here, and they'll knock you silly! At the very least, they'll knock you back a few paces, slowing you drastically. If only you could find a way to stop them...
Bombing Run: Bomb Squad mice use high explosives to carve huge caverns and trip up intruders. But if you could turn their bombs against them, you could certainly speed up your descent.
The Mad Depths: Mad Zealot mice prowl here. They are both hard to catch and powerful – they will knock you back if you don't catch them. Avoiding them would be best.
Icewing's Lair: Icewing herself commands the Iceberg's deployment from here, deep in the heart of the Iceberg. Be brave in facing her, hunter, as she will give no quarter!
If you check the shops, there's loads of new gear to help you combat these new dangers, including Wax Charms and Sticky Charms, which have specific uses against Bergling mice, whom you'll find in every zone.
Floating in the path of the Iceberg are three bonus chests holding supplies for the icy invasion. If you can defeat the Iceberg before it reaches them, their contents will be yours! If the Iceberg crashes into them, their contents will be lost to you as they float ashore to be used by the invaders, so work quickly for the most rewards!
