Overview
Gunther Gloomtender of the Emerald Claw has tasked you with the unenviable assignment of exploring the Tomb of the Shadow Knight. Find your way through the tomb, purify the altars, and defeat Mdjaj, the mummy prince.
The number of cards you collected will directly depend on the state of your health, so be attentive to this aspect. Blood card torrent. The worse your health is, the less chances to win in the resistance. Enemies will be most difficult, so you need to connect your agility, concentration, and strategic thinking to easily fall to the enemy and destroy it.
- This is one of the quests required to get flagged for The Shadow Crypt of The Necropolis, Part 2.

Tips and Misc
- Useful spells: Resist Cold/Electricity/Fire, Restoration.
- Ghost Touch weapons are essential; almost every monster is incorporeal.
- Open Lock or Knock can be very useful here. Every door that leads to an altar can also be opened in this manner, rather than fight monsters and traps for the keys.
- Many areas have 2 or 3 different adjacent or overlapping traps (each with their own box) - you have been warned.
- Plenty of shrines (4, 1 in each section).
- The path to the south Altar can be opened without 2nd player or a hireling by using a ranged weapon on the lever on the ceiling, located directly above the lever on the floor.
- Note: You must be just within the first set of gates, and it still may take a number of shots to trigger the inner gates down and the outer gates up.
- Beware of the Shadow Rogue; He is an invisible stalker, so you will not see him at all (and you'll probably end up slaying him by accident too.)
