Step-by-Step Walkthrough
1. Find the Quest Location
Head east from the Sretomorozsk Teleport Waypoint until you see a shipwreck. You'll hear a Voice Beneath the Ice calling for help. The voice is not from the ship itself but from a block of ice floating on a breakable ice surface nearby.
Look for a large pipe stuck on a block of ice. Explosive barrels are scattered around, making it easy to spot. Approach to trigger a dialogue.
2. Clear the Brash Ice
To reveal the wooden cabin, you must clear the brash ice around the block. Use:
– Heavy weapon attacks (claymore users)
– Pyro attacks (e.g., Bennett, Xiangling)
– Explosive barrels (be careful of the AoE damage)
Once the ice is cleared, the block sinks, and the cabin appears on top.
3. Bring the Wooden Cabin to Shore
The key mechanic is building Grappling Guns on water surfaces. The cabin has a hook on top that the Grappling Gun can latch onto.
- First Grappling Gun: Place it following the quest marker near the shipwreck.
- Second Grappling Gun: Build it on the water in front of the first one.
- Continue pulling: Keep placing Grappling Guns to pull the cabin toward the shore. The game shows you where to place them, but the pulling can feel clunky. If the cabin gets stuck, you can reset its position by relogging.
- Final Grappling Gun: Place it on the water near the final quest marker.
Tip: Ensure the line indicator appears on the hook before activating the Grappling Gun. This confirms the gun can reach the hook.
4. Claim Your Rewards
After the cabin reaches shore, the person inside reveals their name as Chulkaturin (though they don't show themselves). You'll receive:
| Reward | Amount |
|---|---|
| Adventure EXP | 250 |
| Primogem | 30 |
| Mora | 20,000 |
| Hero's Wit | 2 |
| Mystic Enhancement Ores | 3 |
| Precious Chest | 1 |
Troubleshooting
- Cabin stuck in a weird position: Relog to reset its position.
- Grappling Gun not latching: Make sure the line indicator is visible on the hook. Adjust the angle and placement.
- Can't find the ice block: Look for the large pipe and explosive barrels near the shipwreck.
