How to complete the mysterious shadow in path of exile 2

While in Act One of Path of Exile 2you will be assigned to collect some spikes and bring them to the tree. From here it will unlock a new quest called The Mysterious Shade. This interesting quest sends you around a graveyard to collect some keys.

In this guide we will look at how you can collect the two keys and complete The Mysterious Shade quest. Basically, it involves defeating three separate bosses that all have the same mechanics. First, let's see where to go to start this quest.

How to get to the grave of eternity

The first step in this quest is to find the Grim Tangle, which is tied to Grelwood. Once you've done this in the Grim Tangle, talk to Una and she will start singing. From here you can proceed to the Grim Tangle.

If you are in Grelwood, you may find the Brambleghast boss. This is not necessarily for the quest, but you can beat it if you want.

The Grim Tangle is connected straight to the grave of eternity. This area is not very big, there are graves, coffins and mausoleums. You can also see the NPC Lachlann is here, standing near the signpost. Fortunately, the signpost, Lachlann, and the entrance to the Grim Tangle are all are close to each other.

How to find the grave of the Count

Before checking the area, don't forget to talk to Lachlann!

At this point, your quest will tell you that you need to find the Count's tomb at the Gate of Remembrance. The gate itself is near Lachlann, but you will not be able to enter unless you have the required two keys.

If you talk to Lachlann he will give you the quest sorrow among the stones, that requires you Find the Tomb of the Consort and the Mausoleum. This quest is required to complete The Mysterious Shade; Defeating both bosses gives you the two keys you need.

Asinia, wife of the Praetor

Asinia is found in the Tomb of the Consort. This area is connected to the cemetery, and you need it search to find the boss arena. There is a checkpoint at the entrance, and the area is quite large, so you'll know when you're there.

Basically, Sign using projectiles and AoE that telegraphs to the ground. In addition, he calls for help from Draven from time to time, which does a lot of damage. After he is defeated you can go to Draven in the Mausoleum, or return to Lachlann if you have already defeated him.

Draven, the eternal praetor

Draven can be found in the mausoleum, which is very true similar to the Consort's Tomb. Look around Draven until you reach his area (which is also the same as Asinia's).

Draven has focuses more on melee attacks, but he will occasionally summon Asinia, who does AoE attacks on the ground. Once defeated, take the key and exit through the gate to the cemetery.

Inside the Gate of Remembrance

With both keys in hand, talk to Lachlann, who speaks to you use the key to open the gate and free his family. The gate is nearby, so it's very simple. Once inside, you will notice that the area is small. Lachlann will enter and you watch a short scene before turning into the final boss of this quest.

Lachlann Of Endless Lament

It's time to face the boss of The Mysterious Shade. Lachlann will do it go fast around the area and struggle, swings. Sometimes Lachlann will also call in his attacks. For example, when you hear 'feel the earth shake' he is about to step in and cause an earthquake that targets you. When the tremors come to you, ghosts will appear and start attacking.

Besides, Lachlann releases explosive projectiles that do a lot of damage. The projectiles themselves can be avoid running/dodging, but when they burst near you, expect a lot of damage.

One more thing you should do be careful that the ground is covered with ice. It was a land that looked a little bleak have a slow effect. These will eventually disappear, but when they are there, you can expect to move more slowly than usual.

The easiest way to deal with this battle is to just run around the large tomb in the middle, causing Lachlann to follow you. As you move around, attack him and avoid any projectiles and frozen ground that come your way.

Of course, it's not a good idea to slow down in this fight, because of that We recommend avoiding the ice if you need to cross an icy area. In general, this battle is not very difficult; if you got past Asinia and Draven it should be easier. I personally, we have died many times in Asinia, and none in Lachlann.

How to fill the mysterious shade

After defeating Lachlann, pick up the loot that drops and return to Clearfell Encampment. Once here, talk to Una and witness the awakening of the Hooded One. After talking to him, the quest will be complete!

The Hooded One will now be a permanent equipment in the camp. By talking to them, you can do it return it to gold and identify the material. This method of passive refund is very simple, so if you go up and regret the passive you chose return to Clearfell Encampment and talk to the Hooded One.
