*Since they are undead, [[Dispel Undead]] or a weapon of [[holy wrath]] will work wonders. If neither are available, hit it at range with non-[[cold]] magic or ranged weapons before engaging in melee. Even though the strength drain only kicks in rarely, you should hit hard and end the fight quickly.

Shadows will be revamped in [[0.13]]. They will be able to turn invisible for brief periods of time. While invisible, movement is increased and their attacks will automatically hit and count as a stab (250% normal damage).
