Winden

Winden was the second region released in PMU, with its dungeons mainly revolving around the Ice type. Most of the dungeons are for around level 30-50s. The outskirts of Winden used to be called "Winden Tundra" but have been renamed "Winden Taiga".

To enter the region for the first time, the player needs to complete Winden Pass, which requires Cut to get to. After this, the player can take two alternate paths that require Rock Smash, or use Fly.

You can fly to Winden from north of the sky.

Main article: Winden Training Dojo

Winden Training Dojo has the dungeon of the same name and Winden's arena.

NPCs
Weavile Sensei: To get stronger, many Pokémon come here to train and test their abilities in the arena.

Nivenath Outpost

Nivenath Outpost is a small camp that is southwest from Snowbasin Town in the Winden Range. It features a rest stop for 1,500 Poké, a Chimecho post and a Kangaskhan statue. Nivenath Outpost is additionally where the player can go if they have a Snowflake Key and wish to recruit an Alolan Vulpix.

NPCs
Maven: These two buffoons are always arguing, and they're driving my customers away. This is not good for my business!
Tillus: Don't listen to that fool Ulfric. There are many benefits to collaborations between different regions. You agree with me, right?
Ulfric: I don't think there is any need for a unification of all the regions. Winden can do just fine on its own.

Expedition Camp

The expedition camp is an area east of Winden, past Snowveil Den, northeast of Lake of Acuity. Several Winden Expeditionists inhabit it and are investigating the outskirts east of Winden. The entrance to Frigid Rivulet is located here, which requires the move Dive. Near the dive spot is a Chimecho Assembly.

Upon first arriving here, the player approaches a group of Pokémon preparing to explore Frigid Rivulet.

(You hear a group of Pokémon near the river speaking...)

• Incineroar: So, this must be it... That "river portal" the mayor was speaking of. We're used to tough explorations, yet I can't help but feel a little afraid...
• Incineroar: This part of Winden is completely unknown to the explorers here, and moreover, it is said to be under the effects of some kind of curse...
• Oranguru: We could still go back at this point. But, we've made it so far already... We have to be brave.
• Incineroar: There's no backing down now! The mayor has said only a team as capable and well-rounded could handle something like this. So...
• Incineroar: ...Are you ready to conquer the unknown, my friends?
• Gengar: Keh?! I must admit... I am a little scared too, standing here... But let's do it! Let's make our mayor proud! Heh!
• Oranguru: Ready! We mustn't wait any longer, like the rest of the expeditionists!
• Gengar: Aye! You lead, Oranguru...
• Winden Expenditionist: Woah! Did they just make the leap?! Unbelievable!
• [Player Name]: (What a strange bunch... What was that all about?)
• [Player Name]: (And what's that strange "river portal" they were speaking about? And that "curse"...)
• [Player Name]: (I should ask around more before proceeding. Perhaps some of the expeditionists know...)

Frigid Heights

Main article: Frigid Heights

Frigid Heights is another town in Winden, found to the east. It can only be accessed once the player has completed Frigid Rivulet at least once.

Icy Burrows

• Vulpix burrow location
• Sandshrew burrow location
• Alolan Vulpix burrow
• Snowflake Residence
• Alolan Sandshrew burrow
• Icicle Residence

1/6

There are two underground staircases in Winden that allow the player to recruit either Alolan Vulpix or Alolan Sandshrew. Inside both is a small hallway with locked doors. You need a specific key to open one; Snowflake Key for Vulpix and Icicle Key for Sandshrew. Beyond is another room with Honey in it. Using the Honey will spawn the respective Alolan for the burrow you went into at level 5, with a 100% recruit rate (as long as you are higher leveled). Vulpix's burrow is located in the Nivenath Outpost hidden behind trees (shown above), and Sandshrew's burrow is south-east of Snowbasin Town, beyond Crystal Falls.

Note that you can get both Alolan forms as recruits in Iceberg Cavern.

Primrose's Hut

1/2

Primrose is a Primeape who lives in a small building right outside Winden Pass' exit and north of Snowbasin Town. Her purpose is to aid players who happen to get "stuck" in Winden by not having Fly, Rock Smash, and setting their spawn there. Also serves as a shortcut back to Winden Pass.

Icy Grotto Hideout

This article or section is in need of clean up.

Reason: Does it require beating SpTh main path, or will side paths work?
You can help P.MysteryUniverse Wiki by editing it.

1/2

Team Tactful Tension, consisting of Gengar, Incineroar, and Oranguru, who you first meet when entering Spectral Thicket the first time, resides here.

This area is only accessible if you have beaten Spectral Thicket.

NPCs
Gengar: Keke, can you believe it? Team Tactful Tension's first mission failure! What a bummer! They want us to retreat from Winden-East and focus elsewhere. Bah, I can't believe we let this happen!
Incineroar: Grah! Can't believe we were taken aback by that critter in Spectral Thicket! Its sneaky tricks caught us off guard, but mark my words, next time I'll unleash the full fury of my fiery fists and show 'em who's the real boss!
Oranguru: Within this damp cave, we found refuge and respite. Your intervention, dear adventurer, broke our curse and possibly saved our lives. For this, we extend our heartfelt gratitude.
