Revisit the Clagmar Coast Graphorn den after San Bakar’s Trial, acquire both sexes and breed in a Vivarium.
Quick Answer
After San Bakar’s Trial and the Lord of the Shore encounter, the Clagmar Coast Graphorn den can spawn more Graphorns, allowing you to find both a male and a female. The ★ shiny Graphorn is a rare coat variant, not a guaranteed white female. Breed the two sexes in a Vivarium to count Graphorn toward The Nature of the Beast achievement.

Why the mechanic works
The Lord of the Shore becomes accessible during the fourth Keeper trial. Before this point, the den does not work like ordinary early-game dens. Afterwards, revisit it for additional Graphorn encounters. You must weaken a Graphorn before using the Nab-Sack. Confirm the creature’s sex in its information panel rather than using skin color to decide.Easy step-by-step guide
- Finish San Bakar’s Trial and tame the Lord of the Shore.
- Return to the Clagmar Coast Graphorn den and fight the spawned Graphorn until it can be rescued.
- Open the creature’s details and check whether it is male or female.
- If you still need the opposite sex, leave the area, wait and return to try another spawn.
- Use a Breeding Pen with a male and female Graphorn in an appropriate Vivarium.
- Collect the offspring when ready. Repeat this across the 12 breedable species for the achievement.
Mistakes & extra tips
- Use dodges and Ancient Magic when necessary to weaken a Graphorn, but there is no guaranteed fixed two-finisher or six-combo capture recipe.
- A pale/white Graphorn with the ★ icon is shiny. Shiny offspring are not guaranteed even if the parents are shiny.
- Only one Graphorn generally spawns per den visit after unlocking the encounter.
