Yeowzers, how many dragons with shadow have you seen out of your estimated 65 run ins. Typically I end up 3 manning him with another bst and a thief friend.

The rough part of this content is the house of cards design. You kill T1s and eventually get a T2 abyssite. Sometimes right away sometimes it seems to take forever. Take that T2 and pop and eventually get a T3 much like the prior tier. But taking that T3 and turning it to dust and not getting an upgrade crumbles the house of cards. Getting the black and popping the non-shadow crumbles the house of cards. (Least if your hunting them rings). Then by chance you beat the shadowed version i bet the rings are not 100% drop.

The bad part is I don't think anyone does this content except to upgrade empy weapons. So not sure the higher tiers will get any dev attention do to its unpopularity. One of these days I will get lucky and hopefully the shadow version will drop a Galdr ring. It will be proof of my efforts and time wasted along the way. haha.
