History of Shadow Realm

The Shadow Realm is a Taken-themed area of the Equilibrium dungeon in Renegades. It is reached after the four darkness relics are placed in the table in the Praxic Temple at the start of the dungeon: a Taken portal then opens on the platform above them, and interacting with it sends the player into the Shadow Realm. There the player builds Shadow stacks up to Shadow Master to create platforms and break the shields of the Shade of Sere secret boss, which is fought in two health-bar halves. Defeating the Shade rewards Energy Conduit, a Praxic Blade trait. Reported classifications of Energy Conduit vary between a Praxic Blade catalyst and an exotic trait (2026).
