| − | A '''Shadow Lair''' is a special area of the [[Clockworks]], that contains an alternate version of an ordinary Clockworks boss stratum. There are four Shadow Lairs: | + | |
| − | * The '''Shadow Gloaming Wildwoods''' (SGWW) is the [[Gloaming Wildwoods]], but infected with a poisonous miasma, which has transformed the Snarbolax into two [[Rabid Snarbolax]]es.

| + | |
| − | Each Shadow Lair is significantly more difficult than its ordinary Clockworks counterpart, and requires a high cost of entry. It is recommended that only Tier-3 knights with gear specifically chosen for a Shadow Lair attempt that Shadow Lair. The Shadow Lairs were discovered (that is, added to the game) in the [http://forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/29852 2011 October 19 release].

| | | | |
| − | ==Entering==
| + | As soon as a Shadow Key is used to unlock an elevator on depth 23, the key is destroyed. Any future visit to this or another Shadow Lair requires another Shadow Key. As soon as the party steps on the elevator, no new members may join the party. |

| + | ===Exiting=== |
| − | To access a Shadow Lair, the party needs one, and only one, [[Usable#Shadow Key|Shadow Key]]. Shadow Keys can be found in [[Iron Lockbox]]es, purchased from [[Kozma]], or purchased from other players, for example through the [[Auction House]]. Once a Shadow Key is used to access a Shadow Lair, the key is destroyed. Any future visit to this or another Shadow Lair requires another Shadow Key. (For example, suppose that a group of four knights does multiple Shadow Lair trips together. Each time, they buy a Shadow Key for 1,800 energy and split the cost evenly. Then each Shadow Lair trip costs each knight 450 energy.)
| + | A Shadow Lair expedition does not end with the defeat of the Shadow Lair boss. The party must fight its way through the [[Unknown Passage]]. The Unknown Passage is identical for all four Shadow Lairs, and has nothing to do with any of their particular themes. The party emerges into the [[The Sanctuary|Sanctuary]], where it finally receives its rewards, before returning to [[Haven]]. |
| | | | |
| − | To access a Shadow Lair, one person in the party needs clearance for that Shadow Lair:
| + | == Notes == |
| − | * For Shadow Gloaming Wildwoods, any player with Tier 3 clearance has clearance.
| + | Originally there were restrictions on the order in which Shadow Lairs were attempted. For example, a party could not enter the Shadow Royal Jelly Palace unless at least one party member had completed Shadow Gloaming Wildwoods. However, that restriction was removed. |
| − | * For Shadow Royal Jelly Palace, any player who has completed the SGWW has clearance.
| + | |
| − | * For Shadow Ironclaw Munitions Factory, any player who has completed the SGWW has clearance.
| + | |
| − | * For Shadow Firestorm Citadel, any player who has completed either SRJP or SIMF has clearance.
| + | |
| − | For example, a knight with SRJP clearance can bring three knights who do not have that clearance into SRJP. After the SRJP trip, all four knights will have SFSC clearance, but the three knights will still not have SRJP clearance.
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | If a party has a Shadow Key and clearance, it can enter its desired Shadow Lair at depth 23 of any gate. That is, the party members assemble in a single depth-23 Clockworks Terminal, proceed to the north end of the terminal, and unlock the appropriate gate with their Shadow Key. Once the party has entered the Shadow Lair, no new members may join the party.

| − | Like the ordinary Gloaming Wildwoods, the Shadow Gloaming Wildwoods is filled with beasts. However, the Shadow version is also packed with undead (zombies, kats and howlitzers), and all of the monsters have a poison theme. Armor that protects against normal, piercing, shadow, and poison is recommended. Piercing, elemental, and crowd-control weapons are recommended.
