The Ice Block Shoes are a slippery, stylish reward hidden within one of Wobbly Life’s most involved side quests—the Ice Cave Artifact Hunt. To unlock them, you’ll need to gather four frozen artifacts from various corners of the map. This guide covers everything you need to know to collect each one and score yourself those slick new kicks.
Artifact 1: The Ice Fish (Sardine or Herring)
Step 1: Go fishing. You’ll need a sardine or a herring, which can be found by using a fishing rod from a boat near the beach. Bring a friend and use two boats to increase your chances.
- Tip: Hold right click and left click to reel in fish.
- If you catch a sea urchin or anything other than a sardine/herring, try again.
Step 2: Once you catch the right fish, fly it to the Ice Cave area using a large helicopter. Be careful—the fish can despawn if dropped or left too long.
Artifact 2: Metal Detector + Ice Pick Challenge
To get the Arctic Artifact buried in ice, you’ll need both a metal detector and an ice pick.
Step 1: Purchase the metal detector from the treasure shop near the beach (costs $5). Step 2: Bring it to the Ice Cavenear the mountain. Use the detector to find the glowing ice spot. Step 3: Buy an ice pick from a vendor nearby and dig out the artifact from the ice.
This reveals a chunk of Yeti fur—one of the required artifacts.
Artifact 3: Gong + Cave Passage
The next artifact is behind a sealed section of the cave. You’ll need to strike a gong to unlock it.
Step 1: After grabbing the ice pick, use it to bang the large gong found within the cave. This breaks open a sealed area.Step 2: Head through the now-accessible passage to reach a frozen chamber—this looks like a Yeti family den. Step 3:Grab the fuzzy, furry artifact and bring it back to the museum.
Artifact 4: The Hockey Stick
This one ties the collection together with some flair.
Step 1: Once you’ve got the correct fish (sardine or herring), bring it to the ice cave museum exhibit, where you’ll find a hockey stick holder. Step 2: Place the fish into the holder, and you’ll be rewarded with a Penguin-made hockey stick artifact.
Transport it back using a helicopter or vehicle carefully—dropping it in water or losing it means restarting the entire process.
Turning in All Four Artifacts
Once you’ve delivered all four to the museum:
- Ice Fish
- Yeti Fur
- Yeti Nest Artifact
- Penguin Hockey Stick
…you’ll unlock the Ice Block Shoes, a pair of winter-themed footwear that turns your wobbly into a speed-slipping skating machine.
Ice Block Shoes Features
- Causes your character to slide while walking, as if skating on ice.
- Boosts movement speed and adds a fun element to regular navigation.
- Looks great with other winter outfits or skating challenges.
Bonus Tip: Museum Completion
While this quest doesn’t unlock the museum’s basement (like the Wizard collection), it is part of the total collection tally. If you’re completing every exhibit for the Flying Car reward, this one counts toward that endgame prize.
Final Thoughts
The Ice Block Shoes quest is a fun, slightly chaotic dive into Wobbly Life’s more technical side—mixing fishing, flying, digging, and artifact transport. It’s even better with friends, but doable solo with patience.
So grab your fish, bang some gongs, and skate your way into Wobbly fashion history. Just try not to slide off a cliff on your way to Grandma’s house!
