Methods

  • Shadow running differs on each side of Olm; the 12-0 side uses numbered tiles: start on tile one and drag to the mage hand, hit, then run left, hit from tile two, drag from tile three, long-range hit on tile four, then drag from tile five and repeat.1
  • The harder 8-1 side takes one hit per eight attacks: start with the shadow on long range, hit, then tank the hit in the middle tile (two) because flame walls in the dead centre get nulled, then hit from three after dragging.2
  • On the 12-0 side the fourth hit of the cycle is a long-range hit, so swap the shadow to long range for it and then run.3

Tips

  • On the 8-1 side the cycle is: long range hit, run, hit, hit, hit, drag from three, tank a hit in the middle on the two tile, hit, hit, hit, one more hit, step down on three, drag and repeat.4
  • When acid appears while shadow running, Gnomonkey says there is no good acid run; just come up and do long range hits when off cooldown and then get back into the cycle.5
  • 1-0 on the final head is way slower than the other methods but a safe option if you are out of supplies.6
  • Shadow running works when it works, but as soon as you drop a tick or get pulled out, things go wrong, so you need to go back and set it up again from tile one and stick to the plan.7

Gnomonkey's opinion

  • Gnomonkey says Shadow running looks complicated but is less hard than it looks, and recommends first trying it on regular Chambers.1

Records

  • In the second run, with a no-prep Shadow setup, Gnomonkey says he beat the time by two minutes while also fully explaining Shadow running.7
