With the Rune Slayer Beach Expansion finally live, players are scrambling to uncover every secret this sandy update has to offer. From mutated frogs to taming sharks, and even a mysterious whale boss guarding the Tundra entrance, there’s a lot going on—bugs included.
If you’re a little lost (or just tired of being called Wally West for speeding through content), this full Rune Slayer Beach Expansion Guide is exactly what you need. Let’s break it all down step by step—no speed-ups, no confusion.
How to Get to the Beach Expansion Zone
To reach the beach zone:
- Start from your main base or familiar map location.
- Follow the usual route to the newer map segment added post-update.
- Watch out for twists and turns—you’ll need to take a couple of right turns before reaching the beach.
- Don’t worry if it feels like you’re getting lost—the map layout is a bit buggy right now, but you’ll know you’re close when the environment shifts into more of a tropical aesthetic.
Once you arrive, you’ll see the Job Board, which is central to this update.
Mutated Frog Meat Collection
Right by the job board is a crucial NPC—this quest giver will ask for 3x Mutated Meat.
Where do you get it?
- Hunt the mutated frogs around the beach zone.
- These smaller frog-like enemies drop Mutated Meat, and you’ll need four pieces in total:
- Three for the quest itself.
- One extra to tame a shark (more on that in a minute).
They spawn frequently, so this step shouldn’t take too long unless the server’s super crowded.
How to Tame a Shark (Yes, Really)
Now here’s where things get wild—you can actually tame a shark.
Here’s how:
- Equip the Mutated Meat like any taming bait.
- Head toward the water where sharks swim.
- Walk up to a shark (there are both normal and larger variants—you can only tame the regular-sized ones).
- Use the meat to start the taming process.
Important Note: The taming system is very buggy right now, so don’t be surprised if it takes multiple attempts.
Once you’ve tamed one, you can ride the shark across water zones, making traversal faster and—let’s face it—way cooler.
Unlocking the Tundra Region
After taming your shark and exploring the beach, you might be wondering: What’s next?
That’s where the Tundra Gate comes in.
Getting There:
- From the beach, just keep going straight.
- Don’t overthink it—literally hold W and run in a straight line until you reach a large, distinct gate.
- This is your entry point into the Tundra zone.
The Whale Boss
This next bit is still under player testing and rumors, but here’s what’s believed to be true:
- A massive Whale Boss spawns outside the Tundra Gate.
- Defeating this boss is likely required to get the Tundra Key Item (exact item unknown).
- The whale may drop a special item or trigger the unlocking mechanism to the new Tundra zone.
❄️ Important: As of now, many players haven’t been able to enter the tundra because the whale is hard to find or already killed on some servers.
This update has amazing content—but let’s be real: it’s also plagued by bugs and frustration.
From glitchy taming systems to unpredictable boss spawns, it’s a bit of a mess. But if you can push through, the shark rides and whale fights are worth the grind.
