Useful Info

Shadows are undead creatures capable of becoming briefly invisible and increasing their movement speed. If they attack while invisible, they automatically hit you with a stabbing attack that deals 250% normal damage. They can be found in the middle floors of the Dungeon, as well as the Swamp, the Crypt and the Hells (particularly Tartarus). They also show up as the result of some death curses. Wielding a lantern of shadows will generate neutral shadows around you based on your Evocations skill.

Spells

Spell set I
Slot1 Invisibility Natural flag

Tips & Tricks

  • Shadows can deal extreme amounts of damage, considering how early in the game you encounter them. If you see one approaching, pop on a ring of see invisible immediately if you have on available. If not, hitting the thing with Corona will prevent it from going invisible. If no source of negating their invisibility is available, hit them hard and fast while you can still see them.
    • Two notables method for negating invisibility that do not work are Sticky Flame (shadows are insubstantial) and fighting in shallow water (they levitate).

History

Prior to 0.13, shadows were unable to go invisible, and damaged your strength when they attacked.
