Sargon's Shadowfort

Sargon's Shadowfort
Basic Info
Type	Event dungeon (Normal, Mighty)
Monster Levels	1-45 (scales to player level)
Chests	Festive Amphora
Unique Boss	Sargon the Terrible

Sargon's Shadowfort is similar to those in the past Terrifying Shadows events. Enter by activating either the normal Shadow Portal or the Mighty Shadow Portal (difficult - bosses will drop 2x more shadows, increase opportunity for unique drops but is harder than normal mode). 

Spider Eggs & Black Knight

Arachna's Eggs can be found within Sargon's Shadowfort to aid you in battle. Place 150x Light Essence at it core to create a force field around the egg, which will weaken all enemies nearby for 5 minutes.

Summon a Black Knight at the Black Knight Portal by using a Black Knight Horn (obtained from the quest Web of Lies (2/3). He will fight by your side until the end. If the summoner is defeated, the Black Knight will also disappear.

Monsters

Champions:

• Devestating Swamp - slow, high hitpoints
• Bahadur the Immortal - 2x reincarnations (respawns with 2 skeletal warriors on 1st revival and 2 hound dogs on second)
• Threshold Guardian - explodes in a blaze of fire
• Nerfertari Guardian - lightning strike freezes when hit
• Tortured Soul - when in close range, Paralyzing misery slows travel speed by 40%

Others:

• Sinister Swamp - leaves behind a Poisoned pool when defeated (33% slower travel speed, deducts 3%/5% of your hitpoints as Poison damage
• Sinister Bone-biter - bite causes a Bleeding Wound (Deducts 20% of your hitpoints as Physical damage, 4 seconds; bleeding debuffs can stack
• Undead Slave - scratch causes a Bleeding Wound

Sargon:

Essences that "destroy darkness" will be required to defeat Sargon. Sargon has 4 forms, which means that it will revive 3 times. Extra note: the summoned watchman is able to heal Sargon. Tip: defeat the watchman first to prevent Sargon from healing.

1. In his first form, Sargon is only able to use swing attacks.
2. In his second form, he gains the ability to use a ground breaker like attack with spikes protruding from the ground. This attack deals high damage. Furthermore he can summon a minion similar to a watchman that will not disappear until you kill it and will heal Sargon.
3. In his third form, Sargon can now summon up to two watchman-minions at a time. Also when he revives he will spawn with strong skeletal warriors. Furthermore, he will also call upon more skeletal warrior as time progresses. Finally, he also has the ability to teleport himself to a location while casting lightning on the spot he teleports to at the same time he moves. 
4. In his last form, Sargon turns into a "watchman" himself. He does not move and shoots lightning balls and casts icy meteors. When icy meteor hits the ground regardless of hitting the player, it will turn into singularity that does not have armor reduction. When the lightning balls hit, it will slow you down.
