Step-by-step reference for End 1 and End 2 in Ice Tycoon 2, plus badge routes tied to gems, factory repair, and drought.

Walkthrough
Step-by-step reference for End 1 and End 2 in Ice Tycoon 2, plus badge routes tied to gems, factory repair, and drought.
Ice Tycoon 2 tracks completion through badges on the in-game badge board, trophies that gate laboratory upgrades, and two story endings tied to rebirth and the Item Merchant. Searches like Ice Tycoon 2 Roblox badges, endings, and achievements all point to this checklist-style guide.
100% in Ice Tycoon 2 means more than finishing the tycoon plate once. You need hidden gems (+5% income each), the Collector and Secret Finder badges, optional grinds like Drought, factory repair for Up and Running, and both End 1 and End 2 across multiple rebirth runs.
This page lists verified unlock conditions from the Roblox experience and cross-checked gameplay (July 2026). Gem step-by-step routes live on the gems guide; machine and tool names on the Ice Tycoon 2 wiki. Rebirth upgrade priority: tier list.
Ice Tycoon 2 has two endings — plan End 1 first (merchant purchase required on a later run), then End 2 (no merchant buys except troops). Rushing End 2 before End 1 is possible but skips the first ending reward path.
| Badge | Tier | Unlock condition |
|---|---|---|
| Secret Finder | S | Discover and collect every hidden secret. |
| Collector | S | Complete the five-gem quest. |
| Up and Running | A | Fully repair the Abandoned Factory and step through its portal. |
| Drought | B | Completely dry out every water source in the game. |
| End 1 | S | 5 rebirths; buy at least one Item Merchant purchase after the 4th rebirth. |
| End 2 | S | Rebirth without Item Merchant purchases (troops allowed); requires 4 rebirth upgrades. |
The Collector badge awards when you finish the five-gem quest — find every hidden gem, return to the factory wall slot, and insert all five. Each gem already grants +5% permanent income; Collector confirms the set is complete. Full routes: all five gem locations.
Secret Finder requires every hidden secret in Ice Tycoon 2, not only the five gems. Hidden upgrades, abandoned factory secrets, and off-path discoveries count. If you only insert gems but skip other secrets, Collector may unlock while Secret Finder stays locked.
Speed tip: hunt gems during the same map pass as trophy runs. The mine (Gem 2), hotel (Gems 1 and 4), rain zone (Gem 3), and castle well (Gem 5) sit far apart — use wiki area reference to plan one loop instead of five factory resets.
Up and Running unlocks when you fully repair the Abandoned Factory and step through the portal inside it. The factory wing is separate from your starter conveyor line — repair plates typically appear mid-game once Cash income stabilizes. After repair, walk into the portal once; the badge should pop immediately.
Drought is the long grind badge: completely dry out every water source in Ice Tycoon 2. You drain wells, spouts, and backup sources until the game registers zero water left. Equip Bucket ($6,000) and stack Coolant so you are not waiting on Spoon scoops. Track each source on a notepad — missing one hidden well blocks the badge.
Drought pairs with ice tycoon 2 drought search intent and sometimes overlaps gem hunting (castle mountain wells). Finish gem routes first if you need water for Frozen Magma prep, then begin the drought sweep when you can afford mass scooping.
| Badge | Tier | Prep needed |
|---|---|---|
| Up and Running | A | Abandoned Factory repair plates funded |
| Drought | B | Bucket + Coolant, map well checklist |

End 1 requires five rebirths total. The critical rule: after your 4th rebirth, when you start the tycoon again, you must purchase at least one item from the Item Merchant before progressing toward the fifth rebirth. Troops may not count as merchant items — verify in your save if a troop purchase satisfies the flag.
Rebirth flow: finish your tycoon plates → step through the rebirth portal → lose current Cash and items but keep gem income bonuses and rebirth multiplier tiers. Repeat until rebirth count reaches five with the merchant purchase requirement met on the post-4th run.
End 1 is the standard ending most Ice Tycoon 2 players see first. Cash multipliers from gems (+25% at five gems) and rebirth upgrades make the fifth run faster than rebirth one. Pair merchant shopping with Lava Upgrader and Coolant so you are not buying cosmetics while broke.
End 2 is the harder route. You need four rebirth upgrades unlocked before attempting it. On the qualifying rebirth run, buy nothing from the Item Merchant — troops are allowed and do not count as merchant purchases in standard runs.
The game repeatedly prompts you to shop from the merchant during End 2 prep. Ignore those prompts. At a set tycoon completion percentage, a merchant jumpscare triggers — workers in the mine, farm, and factory die, forcing manual operation until the ending resolves. Upgrade income first so manual harvesting still pays bills.
Bring Heat Crystal Lvl 2+ before End 2 — cold zones without heat protection soft-lock progress. End 2 is easiest immediately after End 1 when rebirth multipliers peak. You can technically pursue End 2 before End 1, but you forfeit End 1 rewards order; most guides recommend End 1 first.
Lore note: castle mountain notes warn not to trust the merchant — End 2 aligns with rejecting his shop entirely while still using troops for labor.
| Ending | Rebirths | Merchant rule | Tier |
|---|---|---|---|
| End 1 | 5 total | Buy ≥1 item after 4th rebirth start | S |
| End 2 | 4 upgrades first | No merchant items (troops OK) | S |
Trophies are challenge collectibles scattered across Ice Tycoon 2. You cannot fully complete the tycoon without trophies, and each trophy unlocks a slot in the laboratory for permanent-style upgrades. Examples from gameplay include Escapist, Voyager, and square trophy variants tied to obby or exploration routes.
Trophies reset on every rebirth — treat them like a per-run checklist alongside Cash plates. Before rebirthing for End 1 or End 2, confirm you grabbed trophies needed for laboratory buffs on the next cycle. Missing a trophy gate blocks key plates (example: water tree trophy requirements on some factory buys).
Rebirth wipes Cash and placed items but keeps gem +5% stacks and rebirth multiplier progression. Farm income on rebirth one, rush Lava Upgrader, then layer Coolant and mine unlocks. Endings attach to rebirth count and merchant behavior, not a single tycoon 100% plate.
Open Ice Tycoon 2 on Roblox after patches to confirm badge names — Slized Games is still adding achievement rows in 2026.
| System | Resets on rebirth? | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Trophies | Yes | Laboratory upgrade gates |
| Gem +5% income | No | Permanent account buff |
| Cash & plates | Yes | Fresh tycoon layout |
| Badge unlocks | No | One-time achievements |
Use this master checklist for Ice Tycoon 2 100% completion. Tick items across multiple sessions — endings alone require five rebirth cycles minimum.
Badge grinds pair naturally: Collector while hunting gems, Up and Running during factory repair, Drought during late-map exploration, Secret Finder after every off-path secret is found. Endings come last when multipliers and heat gear are ready.
