Welcome to our guide to complete the Shadow's Mantle set dungeon for Demon Hunters,a required step to complete the Masters of the Universe Conquest.

The Shadow's Mantle Set Dungeon is located in Act V, Pandemonium FortressLevel 3. You will need to teleport to Pandemonium Fortress Level 2, go throughthe chain of teleports and platforms leading up to the lower level, and enter it.At the very start of this short ledge leading to Malthael, the Shadow Set Dungeonshould spawn if you have the Shadow's Mantle set 6-piece bonus active.

The Shadow's Mantle Set Dungeon's two unique Primary Objectives are to: 1)Chain consecutive bonus damage Impale hits on 20 different enemies 5times; and 2) Slow 45 different enemies with your Shadow Power.

The Shadow's Mantle Set Dungeon is a crypt tileset of lengthy corridors. Itbasically consists of an entry corridor, followed by two interconnected shapes— a square and a rectangle. The order in which you clear them should notmatter, though we generally advise you go through the (lengthier and harder)rectangle path first.

The Shadow Set Dungeon is populated by several kinds of enemies:

• Skeletal Raiders, Skeletal Sentries, Tomb Guardians and Returned —numerous, slow moving and harmless trash. They will be the primary targets forboth unique Objectives of this dungeon.
• Hulking Phasebeast — be careful of the Phasebeast's short and suddenteleports, as they might break your Impale chains. Try to get them pointblank as they try to melee you.
• Shadow Servants — the unique enemies of the map. They resemble Act 4'sTerror Demons, but also have the Arcane and Wormhole affixes. Be careful of theirdisplacement mechanics, which can cause a break in the Impale chain.

As with most Set Dungeons, a follower is not necessary and might get in theway more than help the situation. Do not be afraid to dismiss your companion.

The most important tip for this Set Dungeon is not to go trigger happy andtake your time lining up the shots. Liberal use of point blank shots is alsoencouraged, as they minimize potential mishaps and will double up for a Shadow Power activation for the other objective. Beware of the variousrubble and walls of the crypt tileset, as are deceptively low but will stillcause your Impale knives to collide and fail the chain.

Try to get the Shadow Power objective out of the way early — athird of the way into the dungeon and you should be done with it — as itcan easily be lost track of. Remember that while the passive bonuses of the skillwill be permanent with a single use due to the set bonuses, the slowing effectonly occurs on activation. Make sure to re-apply it in the thick of enemies toget the Night Bane slow kicking in.

With all the careful sniping you have to do in this dungeon, you will have toforego many Impale build staples — especially Holy Point Shot, whoseshotgun spread will automatically fail each attempt to start the chain. Otherless obvious exclusions are the popular Ricochet and Overpenetration runes on Impale, as well as skills like Vengeance and Fan of Knives. On the flip side, some enemies willhelp out the sniping objective — the shielded skeletons will net you two Impale hits.
