Dungeon quick facts
When yet another starshower manifests over Norvrandt, the Warriors of Darkness find themselves under attack from mysterious spectral foes, who by all appearances are being summoned forth with the selfsame magick the Crystal Exarch employs-a magick that should lie beyond even the Ascians' ken.

Boss and mechanic notes
The Heroes' Gauntlet has local boss notes for: Spectral Thief, Spectral Necromancer, Distant Ideal: Spectral Berserker. These notes are pulled from the local wiki and should be treated as source-backed prep unless separately marked as human-reviewed strategy.
- Spectral Dream: Tankbuster.
- Chicken Knife: Line AoEs from each corner targeting each party member. Trust NPCs will stack in the center.
- Dash: Will teleport to marked location just before unleashing a circle AoE. Inflicts vuln stacks.
- Shadowdash: Will teleport self and shadow to two marked locations and both unleash either a circle AoE or a line AoE. AoEs are marked, just remember that he's going to move first. Inflicts vuln stacks.
- Spectral Whirlwind: Raidwide damage.
- Spectral Gust: Marked AoE on all party members. Don't stack.
- Twisted Touch: Tankbuster.
- Chaos Storm: Raidwide.
- Absolute Dark II: Giant cone AoE. Inflicts cleanseable Doom. Dodge.
- Necromancy: Summons four zombies, one tethered to each party member. Summons walking zombies first, crawling zombies second, then both in succession.
- Walking, light tether: These zombies auto you for a few seconds, then drop dead in preparation for Necroburst.
- Crawling, smoky tether: These zombies will inflict Rigor Mortis when they catch you -- they slowly approach at first, but will instantly close the gap after an AoE marker if they haven't caught you by then.
- Necroburst: Zombies explode, inflicting heavy damage and (if they were summoned walking) vuln stacks.
- Pain Mire: Five giant circle AoEs that inflict vuln stacks and leave behind bleed puddles.
