Shadow

The shadow is a boss that spawns in the Wendigo dungeon only from the second run onwards. In order to get it to appear, the player needs to kill the Wendigo but not pick up the reward on the floor. Instead, the Player has to return to explore the dungeon once more. The boss will spawn in the middle room of the dungeon (the one with the pool of water) and will proceed to chase the player.

Attacks
Retaliate: High damage to one target, (can deal 900-1.1k damage)

Cannibalize: Single target version of Wendigo's cannibalize

Devour: Multi target version of Wendigo's cannibalize that targets MP instead of HP

Sleep: Puts one foe to sleep

Boss Battle
Like the Wendigo before it, this boss has an overworld mechanic to weaken it before the fight. However, unlike the Wendigo, it is technically possible to beat the Shadow without using the overworld mechanic.

The shadow spawns 3 smoke puffs spawn at various parts of the dungeon, swatting at the smoke puffs will cause the puff to be destruction. When the player battles the Shadow, each intact smoke puff acts as a full heal for the Shadow. It will usually use it when its life has been reduced to about half.

Unlike the Wendigo, fighting the shadow is a rush to destroy it before it destroys you. With Retaliate, the shadow can easily one shot party members if the player is unlucky. In addition, it also uses Sleep to keep party members out of action while it kills off the others. At low life, it uses an inferior version of the Wendigo's cannibalize that only targets one ally, meaning it is possible to out damage it. The medicine cat skill Radiance can once again be used to mitigate the dangers posed by this,

Drops and Farming Tips
Defeating the Shadow, rewards you with a second silver idol, meaning this dungeon can be used to quickly farm R as well once the player is strong enough to reliably beat both bosses. The shadow has a chance to drop the blessing 'Paranoia' which has 2 versions, the magic version gives +3 to magic attack and 5% mana cost reduction while the physical version gives +3 to attack and 10% increased energy charge.

Note: A level 20 medicine cat, level 20 medicine cat apprentice and a level 20 medicine cat companion with fully upgraded equipement can rush the entire dungeon with Retaliate and fully clear it in around 5 minutes. The shadow without its smoke puffs is likely to die in one turn to this strategy.
