Nordweiler is a small island that’s found in the winter side of the game’s Hummingberg Region. It features a Raccoon shop and an ability shrine where you can learn the Zipline ability.

But to reach this island you’ll need the Icebreaker ship upgrade.

How To Unlock Nordweiler

You’ll need the Icebreaker upgrade to access this island.

If you don’t have it yet then make your way towards Albert’s Shipyard (X: 61, Y: 64) and look for the Icebreaker Boat Improvement under the upgrades tab. This upgrade requires:

  • 10 Iron Ingots
  • 12 Oak Planks
  • 18 Linen Fabrics
  • 1 Spirit Flower
  • 5 Slates
  • 800 Glims

Note that getting all of these items for the upgrade may take some time, but our full boat improvement guide will give you a more thorough breakdown of how to get all of these items.

Once the upgrade is in place, Nordweiler (and the rest of Hummingberg’s winter side) should be accessible to you as you pass the ice barrier.

Ability Shrine

Upon arriving at Nordweiler, you’ll find that the village has an ability shrine at the upper part of the island.

In exchange for two obols (given to you by spirits aboard the ship) this shrine unlocks the Zipline ability. This ability lets you ride up and down wires. Once it’s unlocked, you can immediately practice your zipline abilities on the many wires that line the island.
