Shadow Crypt Instances

Overview[edit]

Room Types[edit]

There are 5 different types of rooms within this quest. Most of these rooms just give you different types of monsters to fight, but some are additional mazes, and some puzzles. The different room types are:

Attic (also called Columns or Pillars)
- This room has a several pillars, and a small round circular platform in the middle where the chest with the gear will appear
- Here you will fight Umbral Gargoyles in this room
Maze (also called Gate or Jail)
- This room is another maze. The chest with the gear will appear in one of the corners of the room. However, sometimes you can't reach it, and will come back to this room later when you can.
- Here you will fight Spectres and Shadows
Pyramid (also called Altar or Dais)
- This room has a central pyramid, surrounded by stairs. The top of the pyramid is where the chest with the gear will appear
- Here you will fight Phase Spiders
Underwater (also called Water)
- This room is another maze, but this time it is underwater. Bring an Underwater Action item. The chest with the gear is randomly placed on platforms out of the water.
- There is no fighting in this room
Torch (also called Fountain or Puzzle)
- This room has 4 torches, unlit (though sometimes one looks lit, it is not)
- You will fight Shadows and Umbral Worgs
- Above the torches are fountains that indicate the order the torches must be lit
  - For those familiar with binary, think of the fountains as a 2-bit number, and you light them in numeric order: 1, 2, 3

Light First
Light Second
Light Third
