How to use Frost Shadowbeast
The Frost Shadowbeast appears once on the snowy plateau above the Old Mine during The Temple of Innos route. The current profile lists 600 HP, 400 XP, Fire as its lowest listed defense at 30, one Frost Shadowbeast's Skin, and two Shadowbeast's Fangs; save before the plateau and keep the skin for Cavalorn if Beasts of Khorinis V is active.
Start the fight only after the tundra-wolf stretch is under control. Save, carry enough healing for a retreat, and do not sell the skin until Cavalorn's late hunting route is resolved.
The beast is a one-off target on a long mountain route. Rushing it while wolves are still active or losing the skin before the hunting hand-in can force a costly repeat.
Use normally, still save-check big commitments Start the fight only after the tundra-wolf stretch is under control. Save, carry enough healing for a retreat, and do not sell the skin until Cavalorn's late hunting route is resolved.

A fixed damage assumption is less useful than one safe test in the current build.

Chapter 4 saves collecting the material needed for Beasts of Khorinis V and Cavalorn's final hunting lesson.
- Activate or confirm The Temple of Innos and reach the snowy route above the Old Mine with Climbing ready.
- Clear enough of the tundra-wolf pass to create a retreat line, then make a fresh save before the white beast.
- Test the current fire-damage response with a safe hit; use the result in your save rather than trusting a fixed number.
- Loot the Frost Shadowbeast's Skin and two fangs, then keep them in your inventory while finishing the temple route.
- Return to Cavalorn with Beasts of Khorinis V and confirm the requested hand-in before selling any extra trophy material.
Keep a pre-fight save and a post-loot save; the target is unique and the Northern Mountains trip is long.

A One-Off Plateau Target
The Frost Shadowbeast is best treated as a route event, not a farming loop. It sits beyond the tundra wolves on the Temple of Innos climb, so clear the approach and preserve a save before choosing the fight.
- Listed values: 600 HP, 400 XP, level 40.
- Listed lowest defense: Fire 30.
- Listed loot: one skin and two fangs.
The Skin Has A Second Job
The material is more valuable as a quest handoff than as spare loot when Beasts of Khorinis V is active. Carry it through the temple return and let Cavalorn's dialogue decide when it is safe to sell or use.
- Keep the skin after the kill.
- Finish the temple objective before making another long trip.
- Confirm Cavalorn's Extract Spine lesson in the current save.
