| Region | Tabantha Frontier |

Shadows in the Snow is a frozen outpost-clearing battle in the Tabantha Frontier. You rescue Pinnec and his allies, break ice-covered monsters with fire, and finish by defeating an Ice Lynel and its allies. Raphica becomes playable at the start, and the rescue lets the Mysterious Construct fuse Zonai devices onto its strong attacks.
Table of Contents
Before you start
Recommended level is 20. The ice enemies here are weak to fire, so bring a Flame Emitter and keep an eye on your energy.
Clearing the Tabantha Frontier
Try out Raphica and take the first outposts
Raphica is playable from the start. His wind attacks can be imbued with elements from certain Zonai devices. Test his moves while you capture the first outposts (the objective is to capture the outposts, 0/2 at first). An Ice Aerocuda joins the fight near here, and flame attacks are effective against enemies shrouded in ice.
Rescue Pinnec and his allies
The rescue targets are far apart and joined by winding paths, so split your group. A Frost Talus stands in the way of one of them, so bring Zonai devices such as a Flame Emitter and keep a Battery ready. Once Pinnec and his allies are safe, the Mysterious Construct can fuse Zonai devices to its strong attacks. Fused devices use energy too, so keep an eye on your energy gauge.
Ice Boss Bokoblin
The next outpost is held by an Ice Boss Bokoblin. Fuse a Flame Emitter to a strong attack and burn it down.
Ice Hinox
Follow the western path to the Ice Hinox. It is weak to fire, so the same Flame Emitter strategy works. Break its weak-point gauge and finish it with a smash.
Ice Lynel and Ice Moblins final fight
An Ice Lynel and its allies, among them an Ice Moblin, advance on you. Rito support fire softens them on arrival, dropping the Lynel to about three quarters health and leaving the Moblins ready for weak-point smashes. Defeat the Ice Lynel and its allies (the objective counts them) to end the battle.
Korok Seeds
Korok Seed 1: glowing spot in the rock cave
On the way to the Rito Captain who asks for help, a rock cave holds a glowing spot. Interact with it and the Korok pops out of the glow, which also completes the aside quest to find one Korok.
Korok Seed 2: yellow Korok flower
While you rescue Pinnec, cross the wooden bridge to the wooden platform at its end, where a yellow Korok flower grows. Interact with it for the seed.
Korok Seed 3: Korok stump
On the snowy path as you head for the Ice Hinox, a Korok sits in a stump on the bank beside a large rock. Interact with it for the seed.
Treasure chests
The battle has four chests, plus a fifth glowing in a dark wooden outpost frame near the start of the Pinnec rescue that holds Wildberry x10. Zonaite Steel (Bow) x1 is near pillars and a fence along the winding path, by an armored Blue Bokoblin. Sapphire x8 is in a rock hollow south of the eastern outpost, near a horde of Ice Lizalfos. A second Zonaite Steel (Bow) x1 rests by a fallen pillar in the southern section. Rupees x2000 are in a crevice in the rock wall in the south.
Aside quests
The aside quest list covers the requests each warrior offers, including Raphica’s.
Rewards and what unlocks next
