Shadow Dungeons Hunting Ground Guide

We have gone through basics of Hunting Grounds in a comprehensive guide that you can see here.

But now its time to look at the individual hunts themselves. In this article we are going to look to answer:

• What are the team restrictions?
• Which heroes can I use?
• Which heroes standout amongst all those available?
• How many stages are there?
• How many steps are required in each stage?

And perhaps some more, so lets dive in!

Shadow Dungeons is the third Hunting Ground that players will encounter. The team restrictions here are Seasoned allies only.

We would say players will encounter this Hunting Ground in the middle stages of the game, just after you have gone gone through “Underground Facility” campaign stages. All four of your early hunters (Leo, Nadia, Bomor & Reed) are Seasoned so will likely be some of the first units you use in the early stages.

As always, we suggest players use whoever their strongest team is. But try to make sure you have some synergy between your Hunters where you can.

The nice thing with these middle two hunts (Deep Wilds and Shadow Dungeons) is there is some overlap with the “good” hunters.  Jagya once again remains a standout damage dealer wherever she is available. She is both Archlands & Seasoned so is a top tier choice in 3 Hunting Grounds making her useful everywhere.

Bohdan and Vilk bring some nice utility with his buff removal and Blinds. Goran once again is a stand out Tank and Lilith is your only healer option here. Fortunately Lilith is available through an easy Hunter quest so very accessible.

Level 8 requires completion with no healers. Bohdan used to be able to solo this encounter, but recent nerfs make this no longer possible unless you get super lucky on some of your boons. But a team core of Jagya, Goran, Vilk and Leo may be able to push through it. Just perhaps dont try it when against the empowered Prisoner prey.

When you click a Hunting Ground, you will see your “prey” in the middle of the screen.

This is the boss you will face if you were to enter the Hunting Ground now.

On the right hand side, where your Hunting Ground quests are. You will usually see 3 which say “Hunt down the Prey: X”

These are the other possible bosses in rotation for the level hunting ground you are on. Each one will have its own unique effects on the Hunting Ground which you can see above the middle image of the prey. Although as we have mastered the hunt in this image, so you can’t see them, but they will be there!

Shadow Dungeons is unique here having the Prisoner as a final Void Boss. To be careful!

Just like all the other Hunting Grounds, there are a total of 8 levels in Shadow Dungeons. Each one getting progressively harder than the last.

At level 8 the boss caps out at Lvl 66 with supporting minions possibly being up to Lvl 73. So we suggest making sure your party is at least Hunt Rank 5-6 (lvl 60-70)

Just like most games in the genre, the further you progress into a dungeon the higher the energy cost is and the harder it gets. Hunting Grounds in Void Hunters is no different.

The longer the map length is (the more steps you have to take), the higher the Void Menace level can possibly get. See below for a breakdown of each levels energy cost and map length.

The rewards for Deep Wilds vary depending on level but include:

• Hunt Rank Trophies
  • Common, Uncommon, Rare Corrupted Cuirass
  • Common, Uncommon, Rare & Epic Buried Treasure
  • Epic Shadowfangs
  • Epic & Legendary Lost Banner
  • Legendary Eldritch Doll
• Crit Rate And Focus – Ranging all the way up to 6star at Lvl 8 Hunting Ground
• Gold
• XP
• Rare, Epic & Legendary Codexes
• Tainted Tomes & Ancient Tomes
