The Icerend Shrine in Cobblemon is a structure that unlocks legendary Pokemon encounters. To activate it, you need to find and collect Yellow Stakes scattered across the world.
What Is the Icerend Shrine?
The Icerend Shrine is a naturally generated structure inspired by the ruinous shrines from Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. It is locked by Yellow Stakes placed in the surrounding area. Removing all stakes activates the shrine and triggers a legendary encounter.
Finding Yellow Stakes
Yellow Stakes generate around the Icerend Shrine in the overworld. They look like glowing yellow pillars embedded in the terrain.
Tips for finding them:
- Explore in a wide radius around the shrine (500-1000 blocks)
- Stakes can be on hilltops, in caves, or partially buried
- Use an Elytra or flying mount to scout from above
- Use the /locate command if the server allows it
- Stakes glow slightly, making them easier to spot at night
Activating the Shrine
Once all Yellow Stakes are removed (typically 8 stakes), return to the Icerend Shrine and interact with it. This triggers the legendary encounter.
The specific legendary depends on the Cobblemon version and any datapacks installed on the server.
Server Configuration
Server administrators can configure shrine behavior:
- Shrine spawn frequency in world generation
- Stake radius and count
- Legendary encounter difficulty
- Respawn cooldown
Check the Cobblemon config files and any installed datapacks for shrine-related settings.

What legendary do you get from the Icerend Shrine? It depends on the Cobblemon version and datapacks. Different shrines may summon different legendaries.

Why the Yellow Stakes Matter
The Icerend Shrine is locked behind a set of yellow stakes scattered across the map. Pulling them all is what opens the shrine, and on a multiplayer server that means coordinating with other players or staking out the locations before someone else does.
The stakes do not respawn instantly once pulled. On busy servers, timing matters: pull a stake right after a restart or during low-population hours if you want the full set without competition.
Finding Yellow Stake Locations Efficiently
Yellow stakes spawn in cold biomes: snowy plains, ice spikes, frozen peaks, and similar terrain. On most Cobblemon servers the locations are fixed per world seed, so once someone maps them, the locations stay valid until a wipe.
Practical search method:
- Get a flying or riding Pokemon with decent stamina
- Fly a grid pattern over cold biomes at moderate height, stakes glow slightly so they are visible from the air
- Mark every stake you find with a waypoint before pulling anything
- Pull them all in one run once you have the full set mapped
Pulling stakes one at a time as you find them wastes the trip if another player grabs the last one first.
The Shrine Fight Itself
Once the shrine activates, the encounter is a proper boss fight. Do not walk in underleveled:
- Bring a team at level 50+ at minimum, higher on servers with boosted difficulty
- Fire and Fighting moves carry the fight, since the shrine's legendary is Ice-type
- Stock healing items before you start. There is no popping out mid-fight on most servers
Loot and Respawn Rules
What you get from Icerend Shrine depends on your server's config. Some servers let the legendary be caught once per player, others make it a one-time server event, and some allow repeat fights on a cooldown.
Check your server's Discord or rules page before organizing a group, because nothing sours a community faster than one player pulling all the stakes and finding out the reward was already claimed by someone else that week.
FAQ
How many yellow stakes are there? The standard count matches the other shrine types in Cobblemon's legendary structure. Your server's wiki or Discord usually lists exact counts per map.
Do stakes respawn after someone pulls them? On most servers, yes, on a timer. The cooldown length is server config. Ask an admin if the wiki does not say.
Can I solo the Icerend Shrine fight? Possible with a well-built level 60+ team and type advantages, but groups make it much safer. Servers with boosted difficulty basically require a party.
What happens if someone else activates the shrine first? Depends on server rules. Some spawn the fight per player, others per activation. On per-activation servers, you wait for the cooldown and try again.
Are the stake locations the same every map? They are seed-dependent, so a new map or wipe means new locations. Community stake maps from last wipe are useless after a reset.
