Ten Shadows: Shadow Island Through Part 2
Unlock Ten Shadows, reach Shadow Island, turn Shadow Essence into Shikigami progress, and continue through Max Elephant, Totality, Shadow Chimera Garden, and Mahoraga's Part 2 upgrades.
Quick route
- Obtain Ten Shadows via its banner (150 Cursed Crystals/summon, 100-summon pity for Disaster Grade)
- Get a Secret Ticket (periodic bosses like Yuji/Amanai, or Summer Shop), travel via the Shadow Island NPC at spawn
- Complete Megumi's two island quests for the first Shadow Essence
- Defeat every available Shikigami miniboss, then switch servers instead of waiting
- Spend Shadow Essence at the Shikigami Altar; keep tags & unique materials
- Finish Shiro/Kuro/Nue/Mahoraga branches to expose Part 2 nodes
- Farm the Megumi Raid for Chimera Crates; open them for Part 2 materials
- Unlock Max Elephant, Totality, Mahoraga Focus/Adaptation, then Shadow Chimera Garden
