SHELLS Update Guide – Kraken Event, Frostveil Isle, New Tideclaws & More

The latest SHELLS update has finally arrived, bringing a huge amount of new content including Frostveil Isle, the Kraken world event, Ancient Shores, brand-new Tideclaws, quests, and several limited rewards. This update is one of the biggest expansions the game has received so far, especially for players who enjoy exploration and event farming.

From unlocking hidden islands to fighting the Kraken for exclusive rewards, there is a lot to do in this update. If you are confused about where to start, here is a full breakdown of everything added in the newest SHELLS update.

How to Unlock Frostveil Isle

One of the biggest additions in the update is Frostveil Isle, a brand-new island hidden somewhere in the ocean. To access it, players first need to head to Sea Stack Island and speak to the NPC located there. The NPC gives a special quest that requires collecting several items to restore a lost map.

• Sea Glass
• Sun Shard
• Portal Well
• Moon Shale
• Mirak Shells
• Yurei Carrier

After collecting every required material and piecing together the map, Frostveil Isle will finally appear in the ocean.

This island serves as one of the main locations for the update and contains several new secrets, quests, and rewards.

Kraken Event Explained

The Kraken Event is another major feature introduced in the update.

The giant Kraken now spawns regularly depending on the day of the week.

Kraken Spawn Schedule

• Weekdays: Every 2 hours
• Weekends: Every 1 hour

During the event, players can fight the Kraken to earn exclusive rewards and event items.

Kraken Rewards

• Kraken Hermit Skin
• Kraken Charm
• Deep Sea Hunter Title
• Event Badge
• Kraken Loot Boxes
• Puzzle Pieces

Because the event appears more frequently on weekends, many players are planning to grind during those times for better farming efficiency.

Ancient Shores Secret Island

Another hidden location introduced in the update is Ancient Shores.

This mysterious sunken island appears during the Kraken Admin Event and temporarily rises from the ocean.

The area includes:

• Ancient ruins
• Waterfalls
• Glowing crystals
• Exclusive dig spots

Players can also obtain five exclusive Sunken Shells from this location. These shells come with a special Sunken Trait that cannot normally be obtained elsewhere.

Since Ancient Shores only appears during the special event, players should explore it quickly before it disappears.

All New Tideclaws in the Update

The update also introduced several brand-new Tideclaw tools.

New Tideclaws

• Frostbound Tideclaw
• Hollows Shifter
• Yurei Tideclaw
• Kraken Tideclaw

Each Tideclaw has different obtainment methods.

Yurei Tideclaw

The Yurei Tideclaw is earned as a quest reward, making it one of the main progression items tied to the update storyline.

Kraken Tideclaw

The Kraken Tideclaw is a limited item available through the shop. Because of this, many players are already calling it slightly pay-to-win due to its limited access.

Still, it is currently one of the most talked-about items from the update.

New Quests Added

Several new quests were also added alongside the islands and events.

New Questlines

• Frost Veil Secret
• Frozen Signal

These quests are connected to the Frostveil Isle storyline and help players unlock more content tied to the update.

Some parts of the quests still remain mysterious, and many players are continuing to search for hidden secrets around the map.

Are There Any New Codes?

At the moment, no new redeem codes have been officially released for the update.

Many players expected fresh codes alongside the Kraken event and Frostveil content, but the developers have not posted any yet.

There is still a chance new codes could appear later, especially if the update reaches certain milestones or during future mini-events.

Is the Kraken Event Worth Farming?

The Kraken event is currently one of the best activities in SHELLS because it offers:

• Exclusive cosmetics
• Limited rewards
• Rare charms
• Event titles
• Loot boxes
• Puzzle pieces

Since the spawn timer becomes much shorter during weekends, that will likely be the best time for most players to grind rewards efficiently.

The newest SHELLS update added a massive amount of content between Frostveil Isle, the Kraken boss event, Ancient Shores, and the new Tideclaws. The update focuses heavily on exploration and limited-time rewards, giving players several reasons to keep farming throughout the event period. For most players, unlocking Frostveil Isle and participating in the Kraken event should be the top priority, especially before some of the exclusive event rewards disappear.
