Strategy[]
- The shadow warrior uses stealth and backstabs often, causing tremendous damage. It is a good strategy to defeat this foe first. Try not to let your mages lead the shadow warrior's threat, as a single backstab can often do enough damage to kill them instantly.
- After the shadow warrior goes into stealth, you can expose it with a Mind Blast spell, which stuns it briefly and forces it into sight.
- An upgraded Stonefist spell works very well against these foes, almost always knocking them down, which allows your party to attack without resistance. Expect them to go into stealth upon recovery, though.
