A white head emerges from the darkness beyond the door, staring right at you.

As stated earlier, the Shadowchild is the creature that floats in the air and springs out several pairs of arms like a spider before flying through and grabbing you for an attack. This attack deals 30 damage, making this enemy fairly annoying.

But as unavoidable as this attack may seem, that is not the case. The Shadowchild springs up and attacks based on whether you’re looking at it or not. If you maintain eye contact with this monster, it will slowly start generating pairs of arms that will emerge from the shadows.

Keep looking at the creature, and the arms will grow longer, signaling to you and your team that the Shadowchild is about to attack. If the arms are getting longer, your first course of action should be to immediately look away. This will keep you safe from the attack, letting you survive the monster.

Sometimes, however, you need to look at the monster to keep track of its movements. If you happen to be in this situation and can’t avoid looking at it, we recommend staring at the monster using your peripheral vision. This will not trigger the monster and will also let you track it.

If you wish to attack the monster, make your approach while keeping it in the periphery of your vision. Grab it using 9 Strength and then slam it to the ground. You’ll get a few chances to do so before the monster escapes. Rinse and repeat to drain its 150 HP and kill it.
