INSIDE THE ICEBERG: HOW PALWORLD TAMERS ARE USING COLLISION GLITCHES TO BUILD IMPENETRABLE SECRET FORTRESSES
🔥 THE UNRAIDABLE IMPENETRABLE SECRET FORTRESS IN PALWORLD 1.0 IS HERE! 🔥
PVP server raiders are completely losing their minds as top players build massive, multi-tiered secret bases inside solid, un-minable glacier geometry… 😱❄️
How are Tamers using a harmless low-level Pal to slip through solid ice walls at coordinates (74, -970), and why is this “James Bond” ice fortress setting off massive debates across community servers? 👇
As multiplayer PvP servers in Palworld version 1.0 become increasingly competitive, traditional base building is undergoing a drastic paradigm shift. Open-air bases—even those fortified with defensive walls and high-tier Pals—remain vulnerable to player raids, aerial rocket bombardments, and high-level Alpha Pal raids.
In response, an elite faction of Tamers is turning to “out-of-bounds” architecture. By leveraging specific mount collision bugs, players are phasing entirely through solid, un-minable environmental textures to build multi-floor, un-raidable strongholds hidden deep inside hollow glacier interiors.
The standout location driving this new trend is the Secret Ice Base on Frostbitten Island (located near coordinates 74, -970). Here is a detailed look at how players are phasing through solid ice, the mechanics behind the exploit, and why these secret bases are dividing the multiplayer community.
The Fortress in the Frost: Architectural Breakdown
To an outside observer or an enemy scout flying over Frostbitten Island, coordinates 74, -970 reveal nothing more than a giant, solid, ambient iceberg texture surrounded by icy waters [00:46].
However, beneath the exterior collision layer lies a massive, multi-tiered hollow cavity large enough to house a fully functional base infrastructure [00:34].
+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
| SECRET ICEBASE LAYOUT & SCHEME |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
| 1. EXTERIOR MESH --> Solid, un-minable ambient Iceberg texture |
| 2. GROUND FLOOR --> "James Bond" Lounge: Panoramic ocean views, |
| storage vaults, relaxation & pool areas |
| 3. UPPER TIER --> Pal Production Hub: Palbox, Beds, Farms, |
| Workstations, and automated crafting loops |
| 4. DEFENSE STATUS--> 100% Un-raidable (Inaccessible to outsiders)|
+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
Key Architectural Features:
Level 1 (Ground Lounge): Features panoramic, one-way viewing angles looking out towards the ocean landscape and distant statues [00:34, 03:30]. Because internal textures render transparently from the inside out, players inside enjoy a clean, scenic view of the surrounding biome while remaining completely invisible to players outside.
Level 2 (Pal Production Operations): Connected via internal staircase frameworks [03:40], the upper floor houses the Palbox, Pal Beds, automated workstations, and storage vaults [03:51].
Structural Support Visuals: Designers use Wooden Foundations and stone pillars snapped inside the geometry to create the illusion of structural beams holding up the internal cavern roof [03:25].
The Chillet Push: How Players Phase Through Solid Ice
The core mechanical key to accessing this secret cavern is Chillet—a Dragon/Ice-element Pal whose Partner Skill mounting mechanics currently feature one of the most clip-prone collision boxes in the game [01:30].
Step-by-Step Entry Protocol:
Travel to Coordinates: Teleport to Frostbitten Island and locate the massive iceberg structure at coordinates 74, -970 [00:54].
Mount Positioning: Summon Chillet and ride to the upper sloped section of the iceberg’s exterior wall [02:03].
Terrain Wedge Execution: Sprint directly into the sloped ice wall so that Chillet’s head and the player model wedge deeply into the wall mesh [02:12].
Dismount & Phasing: Dismount from Chillet [02:22]. The game client attempts to calculate player placement upon dismounting and accidentally pushes the player model through the boundary mesh, dropping them straight into the hollow interior floor [02:27].
Multi-Floor Deep Clipping: To drop into lower sub-floors or navigate through deeper internal ice chambers, players simply repeat the Chillet dismount maneuver against internal structural walls or utilize Wooden Foundations to lock in base floors [02:36, 03:15].
The Strategic Advantage in Multiplayer PvP
Why are community players calling this the “Best Base Design” in Palworld 1.0 [00:27]? The benefits in dedicated multiplayer environments are enormous:
Complete Raid Immunity: Because external players cannot see or target structural elements through the solid iceberg texture, rocket launchers, elementa
l Pal attacks, and explosives deal zero damage to the base core.
Invisible Vault Storage: High-value items—such as duplicated Plasteel, Hexalite, Legendary Schematics, and Alpha Pal Spheres—can be stored in absolute security without requiring defensive turrets or wall gates [03:35].
Zero Environmental Raid Triggers: Wild Pal raids and enemy faction invasions fail to pathfind inside the iceberg geometry, effectively disabling random base attacks.
Community Reaction: Secret Hideout vs. Unfair Advantage
The widespread proliferation of out-of-bounds base tutorials on YouTube and Discord has sparked intense debate across the Palworld fanbase.
The Pro-Glitch Perspective
Casual players and creative builders praise these hidden locations as a fun, sandbox-driven evolution of base building. “Building a secret villain lair inside an iceberg feels like something out of a James Bond movie,” noted one commenter on YouTube [00:34]. “It breathes new life into exploration, especially when you’ve already cleared all the boss towers.”
The PvP Admin Backlash
However, administrators of dedicated PvP servers view terrain-clipped bases as a major game-breaking issue. On public servers where raiding and resource competition are central mechanics, un-raidable bases disrupt the competitive balance.
“If a guild can store all their loot inside an un-raidable iceberg while raiding everyone else’s open bases on the server, it ruins the game for everyone,” stated a prominent multiplayer server admin. “Many server rules now explicitly ban glitched out-of-bounds bases, and admins use spectator camera modes to locate and wipe Palboxes hidden inside icebergs or mountain walls.”
The Developer Outlook: Will Out-of-Bounds Bases Get Patched?
Pocketpair has continuously released patches targeting map holes and out-of-bounds exploits since Palworld‘s initial Early Access launch. While simple geometry fixes can easily close specific holes, fixing systemic mounting collision bugs—like the Chillet dismount push—requires deeper engine tweaks.
For Tamers seeking the ultimate secret hideout, the Secret Ice Base on Frostbitten Island represents one of the most visually stunning and secure base designs available in Palworld 1.0 [00:27]. However, players building on multiplayer servers should double-check local server rules to avoid administrative bans or base wipes if Pocketpair or server owners decide to patch the ice.
