How to get Shadowbeak in Palworld

Buckbeak's long lost cousin

Shadowbeak, the apparent result of a genetic experiment undertaken by Victor Ashford to produce a four-legged winged beast, co🌞mes with some pretty impressive active skills and a permanent “are we go▨ing to Disneyland?” expression on its face that you can’t help falling in love with.

Getting your hands on a wild Shadowbeak comes with a distinct risk of also gaining a Wanted Level in the process and𝄹 although it can be bred, the only pair of parent Pals consists of two more high-level Pal💃s.

Admittedly, if you’re looking for a Pal to help out at your base, I’d suggest… Probably just about any other Pal than Shadowbeak. The Pals only base skill is Gathering and that sits at a disappointing level one. It can be used as a flying mount, though, with a speed stat of 1200 and above average stamin𝔍a.

Shadowbeak spawns in only one place in the wild — Wildlife Sanctuary 3.

Situated East of the Deep Sand Dunes fast travel point in the Desiccated Desert, Wildlife Sanctuary 3 is home to a few high-level Pals, including Shadowbeak, so a trip out there is definitely worth your time.&n🦂bsp;

If you do intend to go there, take a flying mount and stay on it at all times. As long as you don’t step foot on the island itself, you can fly aroun🐷d endlessly and the PIDF officers are unlikely to pay you any mind. Unl🌠ess you decide to shoot some Pals directly in front of them, they tend to have a problem with that. 

How to breed Shadowbeak

I’m sure you’re pretty familiar with the concept of breeding in Palworld at this point, but just i🐽n case you’re not, we have a guide to ��help you out. 

Here is where it gets problematic; if you’re hoping to breed Shadowbeak, you’ll need to get your hands on a Kitsun and an Astegon, both of which are hard to come by in themselves. You could get lucky and hatch Kitsun from a wild Egg, but t🌄he only guaranteed encounter with Astegon is a leve♎l 48 Alpha Pal battle located on Mount Obsidian. 

Otherwise you’re looking at heading to Wildlife Sanctuary 3 anyway, because that’s where Astegon spawns in the wild, so you might as well just capꦛture Shadowbeak and skip this step. 

Once you’ve obtained both of these Pals, the rest is a piece of cake. Sorry, I couldn’t help myself.
