A wisp of unliving shadow, slipping in and out of the darkness of the dungeon. It moves swiftly and silently from one pool of shade to another, striking unerringly from the blind spots of those who cannot see it.

“Between the idea
And the reality
Between the motion
And the act
Falls the Shadow
For thine is the Kingdom

Between the conception
And the creation
Between the emotion
And the response
Falls the Shadow
Life is very long”
-T.S. Eliot, “The Hollow Men”. 1925.

Useful Info

Shadows are undead creatures which can briefly become invisible. They can be found in the middle floors of the Dungeon

When a shadow is invisible and not backlit, it gains a boost to movement speed (14.2 speed). Also, if the target cannot see invisible, an invisible shadow deals 2.5x damage, never misses, and reveals itself.

Tips & Tricks

  • Shadows are fast-moving enemies that can deal extreme amounts of damage (35 dmg/hit), who also go invisible. Very strong for the places they apppear in.
  • Being able to negate their invisibility is an obvious benefit. If you don't have see invisible already, pop on a ring of see invisible (if you have one).

History

  • In 0.32, shadows will be renamed to shadowghasts.
  • Prior to 0.19, players would summon neutral shadows when wielding a lantern of shadows.
  • Prior to 0.13, shadows were unable to go invisible, and damaged your strength when they attacked.
