Shadow Master

Overview

Shadow Master is the highest tier of Gathering Shadow in the Equilibrium dungeon. It is the third tier, after Shadow Novice and Shadow Apprentice. It is gained in the third encounter by defeating Centurions, and it is used to break the shields of Nameless Apprentices and to Compel Blistered Shadows instead of killing them.

Final encounter

In the final encounter against Dredgen Sere, players must gain Shadow Master, break the shields of five Nameless Apprentices, and destroy the Taken orb on the central slab each time an Apprentice's immunity is removed, to delay entry to the Ascendant Realm. Inside the realm, five Blistered Shadows must be compelled. Destroying the Taken blights on the central pillar returns the team, and the damage phases repeat until Sere is defeated. Shooting Sere's hands interrupts his Face Your Death attack.
