 +**Status:** Player guide and reference up to Eternal Shadow Reflection  
  
-To get started you will first have to find **Traces of the Shadows** in the Nether.   +---- 
-Defeating a **Lesser Shadow** will result in it dropping **Shadow Energy Orbs**.   + 
-These Orbs can be collected using an **Empty Essence Bottle**.  +==== Progression ==== 
 + 
 + 
 +=== The Nether === 
 +To get started you will first have to find **Traces of the Shadows** in the Nether. Defeating a **Lesser Shadow** drops **Shadow Energy Orbs**. Collect these with an **Empty Essence Bottle**. Essence Bottles are crafted by combining glass bottles with **Energy Shards**. **Energy Fragment Ore** is found across the Nether. Once you have collected Shadow Energy you unlock **knowledge of using the Altar of the Shadows**. 
 + 
 + 
 +Find an **Altar of the Shadows**. Altars generate next to **Abandoned Shadowlands Portals** in the Nether. Use a **Tracker of Abandoned Portals** crafted from an **Eye of Ender** and **Metallic Bones**. Metallic Bones drop from **Depths Skeletons**, **Depths Golems**, or **Depths Titans**. The tracker does not break. 
 + 
 + 
 +At an abandoned portal you will encounter **Depths Ghosts**. Obtain at least **6 Fiery Ritual Stones**. If you broke the spawner too early, ghosts can still spawn around the structure and elsewhere in the Nether. To activate the portal you need a **Key to the Shadowlands**. Before you have Shadowlands resources this key only comes from defeating **Baelzor**, the **Gatekeeper of the Shadowlands**. 
 + 
 + 
 +To summon **Baelzor**, perform a ritual in the **Altar** combining **Fiery Ritual Stones**, **Charged Energy Shards**, and **Metallic Bones**. Charge Energy Shards by collecting Shadow Energy Orbs while holding them in your off hand or by combining them with **30 Shadow Energy** in the Altar. Fuel the Altar with a filled **Essence Bottle** or other items. 
 + 
 + 
 +Fast Shadow Energy farm: search **Crimson Forest** and **Warped Forest** for **Metallic Flowers**, **Jalapenos**, and **Energy Flowers**. Harvest and grow them like crops. 
 + 
 + 
 +Defeat **Baelzor** to get the **Key to the Shadowlands**. Use it to activate the abandoned portal or place a new one. Baelzor drops his **Heart** used to craft your first **Heart Extension**. 
 + 
 + 
 +=== The Shadowlands === 
 +The Shadowlands have stronger mobs and powerful gear such as **Scepters**, **Runes**, and multiple **Armor Sets**. 
 + 
 + 
 +First bosses are in the **Shadow Forest**. Use a **Tracker of the Faded** to find a **castle of Royal Faded Shadows**. **Sources of Structure Aura** force entry through the main entrance. Inside you will find the **Faded Shadow King** and **Faded Shadow Queen**. Consume **Royal Faded Shadow Energy** to unlock **Using Structure Portals**. 
 + 
 + 
 +Next progression boss is a **Real Shadow**. Find a **Real Shadow Castle** in the **Wasteland** or **Infested Fields**. It is guarded by **Shadow Skeletons**. A **Reappearing Door** blocks progress. Watch the guards for the trick to get in. 
 + 
 +==== Entering the Real Shadow Castle ==== 
 +Use **Structure Portals** to navigate. Get a **Teleporting Essence** and look for an exposed portal. There is one on the main entrance tower. Alternative entry: use an **Ender Pearl** through a broken window on a tower side. **Shadow Fruits** or **Chorus Fruits** can also work for teleporting through walls. 
 + 
 +Once inside, reach the top layer of the second tower. 
 + 
 +==== Summoning a Real Shadow ==== 
 +The second tower has no Structure Portals. Use **Lava Sponges** to pass broken iron bars behind an Altar. Lava Sponges are found in the hidden prison below the castle or in chests across the Shadowlands. Access the prison by processing the presented item in the Altar. The prison center holds the last **Source of Structure Aura** that prevents breaking the castle. 
 + 
 +Summon the boss by switching the correct lever in the top room. 
 + 
 +Defeating a **Real Shadow** or getting its **Semi-Real Bone** unlocks **Opening Reappearing Doors**. You can now navigate any Shadowlands structure. 
 + 
 +Recommended step before the final Shadowlands boss: locate an **Eternal Dungeon** hidden below the Shadowlands in any non-frozen biome. Maps can appear in a tall tower secret room. The dungeon is full of **Shadow Reflections**. Prepare by collecting **Reflective Constants**.
  
-Essence Bottles are crafted by combining **glass bottles** with **Energy Shards**.   +==== Eternal Shadow Reflection ==== 
-**Energy Fragment Ores** can be found across the Nether +The dungeon center is guarded by an **Eternal Shadow Reflection**, a powerful reflection that manipulates its attributes and bends time.
  
-Once you have collected Shadow Energy you will unlock knowledge of using the **Altar of the Shadows**.+Defeat it to unlock **Altering the Flow of Time**. This knowledge lets you use a **Reversal Machine** crafted with the **Core of Reversal** it drops. Reversing **Unreal Energy** produces a **Pure Essence Bottle of Reality Energy**. Consuming this allows trading with **Unreal Priests** in an **Unreal Village**.
  
 ---- ----
  
-===== The Altar of the Shadows =====+==== Items and Tools ====
  
-The next goal is to find an **Altar of the Shadows**.   +=== Scepters ===

-These Portals are located in the Nether and can be tracked using a **Tracker of Abandoned Portals**, crafted by combining an **Eye of Ender** with **Metallic Bones**.   +=== Book of Runes ===
