Challenge of the Blades

"Aha... you'll be a very interesting quarry to catch, human..."

- Blade of Shade

Location
This Boss Altar is located in the Kander Forest, on top of a hill south of the Forbidden Prison.

Items
The items needed for this altar are 5 Werewolf Tails right clicked on the altar within the dark circle. You can obtain Werewolf Tails by killing the Werewolves that spawn in the forest.

Boss
The fight consists of simply a melee boss, Blade of Shade. After defeating the first phase, the boss splits into two copies. Each copy will successively split into more copies until eventually being defeated permanently, up to a maximum of 16 copies. They have 12000 health in the first phase, with each successive phase having higher health - the final phase (16 copies) has 24000 health each. This means that attempting to pick off one set at at time is very difficult, since the earlier phases tend to split even when focusing on the later phases. The player should keep their distance, as this horde can easily overwhelm them, especially since the boss often casts Teleport and Vanish. The last clones will drop the various altar rewards and a portion of the emerald rewards.
