Shovel
A Shovel is the tool used to open snow dig points on the recorded Firstlight War Fans and Firstlight Tanto schematic routes. Complete Iceveil Guard Shiro's Supply the Settlement quest, then speak to Winter Store Rep Lynx and buy a Shovel. Carry it to the marked snow patch and interact there; the tool alone does not reveal the Tanto's hidden footprint trail.

Unlock Lynx's Winter Store
The Builderboy TV War Fans guide shows a Shovel purchase prompt at Lynx. It displays 1,000 Wen in that recording; check the current shop price before buying.
- Speak to Iceveil Guard Shiro at the snowy village entrance and accept Supply the Settlement.
- Load nine Cooked Bear Meat and 25 Health Elixirs into Gate Stores.
- Return to Shiro for the final quest check, then speak to Winter Store Rep Lynx.
Use the Shovel at schematic snow digs
For the Firstlight War Fans clue chain, the Shovel opens a snow dig near Doma after the related NPC dialogue. For Firstlight Tanto, first collect and equip Mushroom Lit Lantern, follow its blue footprints and dig at the trail's endpoint.
The digging rewards are schematics in the demonstrated routes. Opening the chest does not itself establish a completed weapon or its forge recipe.
If you cannot buy or dig
If Lynx has no Shovel option, verify that both Gate Stores counters and Return to Shiro are complete. If the dig interaction is missing, confirm you reached the correct snow patch through that weapon's clues and have the Shovel in Inventory.
The Tanto route also requires Mushroom Lit Lantern for the hidden footprints. Carrying only a Shovel will not reveal the trail.
