Where to Land and What to Do in PUBG MOBILE Arctic Chronicles

Pick your first objective while you are still on the flight path. Drop on the edge of the Sealing Ground for the full Hero's Medal and Aurora Pegasus run. Land near a Treasure or Explorable Area node for an easier gear start. Use Teleport Space when its route carries you toward the next zone.

Quick answer: Split a full squad into two pairs at the Sealing Ground, clear both tower objectives and meet at the Beast's mouth. Solo players can loot the body nodes around Ferry Pier/Quarry, Hospital/Ruins, Pochinki/Farm or eastern Erangel, then rotate before the main fight spreads. Glyphs cap at Level 3, so build the squad around the skills that drop.

When and where Arctic Chronicles is available

Arctic Chronicles is available from November 11, 2026 at 02:00 to January 12, 2027 at 20:59 (UTC+0) on themed versions of Erangel, Livik and Vikendi. This guide focuses on Erangel because the official point overview shows the full island route there.

Choose Arctic Chronicles for the Ancient Beast, Hero's Medal and Glyph route. Erangel Subzero opens on December 3 as a separate V4.7 survival mode with blizzards, satellite crashes and frozen doors.

Source: PUBG MOBILE's Arctic Chronicles Guide — the highlighted icons separate the Sealing Ground, body routes, teleport points and Tail Region.

The body routes shown in the official guide run through Quarry/Ferry Pier, Hospital/Ruins, the Pochinki-Farm corridor and the Mansion/Prison side. Mark the closest body icon from the plane and build the opening route around it.

From the Sealing Towers to the Beast's interior

Split the squad two-and-two

• Pair one: unlocks and activates the nearest tower.
• Pair two: clears the second approach and watches for a third party.
• Medal holder: interacts with the inner pedestal and calls the exit direction.
• Best surviving scout: keeps the Pegasus or the fastest available rotation tool.

If all four players stack on the same pedestal, one grenade or a crossfire at the entrance can erase the advantage of arriving first.

What each Ancient Beast body section does

Ride the moving body near Ferry Pier

The moving segment travels along the Ferry Pier-to-Sealing Ground side of the map. Step on from cover, use Aurora Blink to correct a missed jump and get off beside the next piece of hard cover. Players on both banks can see anyone standing in the middle of the body.

The official Erangel route preview shows the Shifting Body carrying players between the west coast and the Sealing Ground side.

Open the blocked caves

Some body parts block cave entrances. Shoot the marked section until the Beast shifts and exposes the opening. Leave one teammate at the entrance while the other three loot, especially around the Pochinki-Farm corridor.

Break the glowing scales for treasure

Shoot the highlighted scale until the armor-like section breaks, then pick up the supplies that fall out. For the event mission, the same player should break the scale and collect the drop.

PUBG MOBILE's official guide shows the marked scale breaking and dropping supplies near the Ferry Pier route.

Teleport from Hospital and Ruins toward Rozhok

The western Teleport Space links the Hospital/Ruins area with the Rozhok side. Reload, send the scout through first and follow after the exit call. This route can erase a long open-ground rotation when the zone shifts northeast.

The official mini-map preview traces the purple Teleport Space route from western Erangel toward Rozhok.

Raise the submerged tower near Severny

The horn appears on the northern route near Severny. Sounding it activates the tail and raises the submerged tower so it can be explored. The new structure is visible and the interaction takes attention away from the surroundings, so treat the horn like an air drop: clear nearby roofs and tree lines first, then assign one player to interact while the others hold angles.

PUBG MOBILE's official guide places the horn and submerged tower on the northern route near Severny.

Pick Glyphs for the job you are doing

Aurora Blink is the active movement ability: it grants a double jump and dash, and it can attach to the Beast's body to enter an Aurora rail. The passive pool contains six skills. The official short shows that a skill maxes out at Level 3, while the regional V4.7 guide describes carrying up to three skills.

The official Arctic Chronicles Guide displays all six passive Glyphs and confirms that each one can reach Level 3.

Call out every Glyph after landing and assign roles around the first useful set. A Level 2 healing or shield skill can carry the tower fight; the squad can chase Level 3 upgrades after the first rotation is secured.

Choose a route from the flight path

Fight for the Hero's Medal

Land on the edge of the Sealing Ground, take the first usable weapons, split two-and-two across the tower objectives, regroup at the mouth, claim the interior reward and leave on the Pegasus. This route has the best access to the signature mechanics and the highest third-party risk.

Loot the body before joining the fight

Land near Quarry/Ferry Pier, the Pochinki-Farm edge or an eastern body node. Break one Treasure scale or open one Explorable Area, then rotate toward the Sealing Ground after the first wave of fighting. You give up the earliest Medal attempt in exchange for armor, utility and better information.

Finish one mission and rotate out

Choose a body node away from the plane path, break the marked scale, collect the drop and rotate. Take Teleport Space when the exit points toward the circle. Leave the horn or pedestal as soon as the interaction finishes because nearby squads will hear it.

Fixing the treasure mission when progress stays at zero

Players in the PUBG MOBILE community have had better results by completing the whole scale interaction themselves. Try this order:

1. Enter an unranked or solo match if the event permits it.
2. Reach a marked Treasure body node before another player interacts.
3. Personally shoot the glowing scale until it breaks.
4. Personally collect the dropped supplies.
5. Finish the match, then recheck the event page.
6. If progress still remains at zero, save a short screen recording and submit an in-game bug report.

Run the test once without teammate interference. If progress remains at zero after you break the scale and collect the drop yourself, record the attempt and send it through the in-game bug report.

When the hot zone starts to stutter

The Sealing Ground can be heavy on both effects and player count. If the frame rate drops there, test these settings before the next hot drop:

• Download the required map resources before queueing.
• Close background downloads and recording apps for the first test match.
• Use Smooth graphics with a stable frame-rate target before lowering every control setting.
• Compare one themed match with one normal Classic match on the same server.
• If Arctic Chronicles still stutters, land on an outer body node and join the Sealing Ground later.

Compare one themed match with one Classic match on the same server. That shows whether the slowdown comes from the event area or the device/network setup.

What usually gets squads wiped

• Landing directly on a pedestal with no weapon.
• Sending all four players into the same tower while another team controls the second.
• Leaving the Beast immediately after elimination without checking whether Aurora Realm offers a return route.
• Riding Shifting Body without choosing an exit point.
• Entering Teleport Space with an empty magazine.
• Sounding the northern horn before clearing nearby roofs and slopes.
• Chasing a Level 3 Glyph after the circle has already forced a rotation.
• Damaging a Treasure scale but failing to pick up the dropped supplies for the mission.

The route I would run first

For a first match, land near Quarry or Ferry Pier, break one Treasure scale and ride the Shifting Body toward the Sealing Ground after the opening fight. That route shows how the Beast works without forcing a weapon race at the head. Once the squad knows the body routes, contest both Sealing Towers and make the full Hero's Medal run.
