'''Dismal Shade:''' Dismal (as it's been called by players) is a strong monster located deep inside the Secret Passage. It is commonly surrounded by Skelevizen Warlords, who have a very powerful magical attack and a great deal of health. Take care to eliminate these monsters before going after Dismal.

PLEASE NOTE that Dismal Shade is one of the few boss monsters who can stack poison effects! This is particularly nasty, and one of the biggest problems when you're facing him, even ''with'' a cleric. It's also important not to take too long with this battle, since the Warlords have a short respawn time.

''Example:'' Normal poison usually deals about 20 damage per second, give or take. Dismal Shade will take that number, cast poison again, and now your damage dealt is 40 per second.

It can be useful to lure him off to the left hand side of the map to avoid these guards.  But be careful, since he will often yellow-bubble and reset if you try to move him too far.

Since he has an Area of Effect (AoE) attack, it is a bad idea to lure him anywhere else, as you will end up annoying other players considerably.

Killing Dismal Shade is a level 40-50 ''timed'' quest, named "Seal the Dismal Shade".  Don't take that quest until you have your squad ready to go!
