Shadowbeak is potentially one of the best Dark Type Pals in Palworld, and there are a few different ways to capture one, not only in a boss fight but in a specific location on the map. They have some worthwhile skills and drops, so here’s how to get them!
Where to get a Shadowbeak in Palworld (Map)
Shadowbeak is part of a boss fight in Palworld—specifically, the very last boss fight (Victor and Shadowbeak in the Snow Biome), at coordinates-142, 437. This is a location where you’ll have the opportunity to catch one as boss, but it will be far more challenging. Instead, you could head over to thecircular islandon theupper northeastside of the map and catch a wild one there. This island is separated from the main island of the map by a good distance of water, so the easiest way to get there is to use aflying mount.

How to catch Shadowbeak in Palworld
It’s doable to capture the Shadowbeak from the Victor and Shadowbeak boss fight; however, you will want to be aroundlevel 50+to take this on. It will also require efficient gear, like cold-resistant armor, high-damaging weapons like a Legendary Crossbow, and some higher-tier Pals.Dragon TypePals will have a boost on damage on Shadowbeak since they are a Dark Pals, so if you have any higher-level Dragon pals, bring them along for the fight.
To capture a Shadowbeak in the wild vs. the boss fight, you won’t have to worry about as much of a challenge. However, you will have the difficulty of getting there. This is in the upper northeast corner of the map, which means you will have to attempt either toswim or use a flying mountto get there. Shadowbeaks in the wild are still a higher level Pal, so ensure you utilize a Dragon Pal and weapons and defenses to lower their HP and then use aLegendary Sphereto attempt a capture.
