Diablo Immortal offers a faction for the endgame with the shadows. The guide explains how to quickly join and leave the clan.

Irvine, California – Diablo Immortal offers you the opportunity to join the mysterious Shadow Clan. You can find out in the guide how you can do this with the help of the shadow lottery. In addition, we show you a faster way with the useful item “Akeba’s Crest”, which saves you a lot of time and allows you to rejoin the clan even after leaving the shadows.

Diablo Immortal: Join Shadows – What you need to know about the clan

What are shadows anyway? Activision Blizzard allows you to go from adventurer to clan member in Diablo Immortal. Unlike normal clans, different rules apply to the shadow. The Shadows are one of the two major endgame clans in Diablo: Immortal. If you are a member, you will receive some pleasant benefits as a bonus:

• More experience points
• Higher damage (depending on rank)
• Access to special game activities such as the “Blood Trail” and treasury looting
• Exclusive contracts only for Shadow Clan members

Are there any requirements for Shadow Clan? You must have reached level 43 and completed the Foulmarch quest line. You will then be given the opportunity to join the shadows in the Wolftown Tavern in Westmarch. However, this is not quite as easy as it might sound.

If you’re playing alone and don’t have a friend who’s already a member of the Shadows, you’ll need a bit of luck. The so-called shadow lottery remains the only other chance for many to be accepted into the faction. But there is also a shortcut.

Shadow Lottery in Diablo Immortal – All Trials, Times and Requirements

How to enter the shadow lottery: The NPC Mysterious Guest appears three times a day in the Wolftown Tavern in Westmarch. From him you will receive a ticket for the shadow lottery. These are the important times for the Shadow Lottery in Diablo Immortal:

After an hour, with a bit of luck, a message will land in your inbox telling you whether you have won the lottery. But you’re not a shadow that quickly.

Now return to the mysterious guest in the Wolftown Tavern in Westmarch and select “Akeba’s Trial” in conversation with him. This will give you three new tasks that you must successfully face.

Diablo Immortal: All Shadow Clan Quests “Akeba’s Trial”

1st task: In order to pass the first task, you have to go to the “Court of Whispers”. There you should talk to the NPC Nuon. You will then have to compete against different enemies in several rounds.

2nd task: For the second challenge, travel to the Court of Rumors. An NPC named Fyggus asks you to bring him 25 Essentia. You shouldn’t startle the guards, because if they spot you, they won’t stop attacking you.

3rd task: To complete the third challenge, speak to the Patron in the Wolftown Tavern one last time, and he’ll take you to a separate room. In this arena you now have to beat three champions in a row.

If you have passed the entrance exam, you will be rewarded with “Akeba’s Coat of Arms”. With this consumable item you then become a full member of the shadows and are in the clan – that’s the long way away.

Become fast shadows without a lottery – You need Akeba’s crest in Diablo Immortal for this

How to do it without a lottery: After your test, you will immediately receive two Akebas coats of arms. You can use the additional coat of arms to invite another player directly to the shadows. A player gifted with the Crest doesn’t have to win the Shadow Lottery, so the Crest is a neat shortcut. But saving the coat of arms can also be worthwhile.

Invite friends with Akeba’s Crest to the Shadow: If you have a friend who wants to quickly become a Shadow, all you have to do is click on their profile picture and select “Invite to the Shadows”. Of course, you yourself save time and skip the lottery if a noble friend gives you his second coat of arms and recruits him as a shadow.

These requirements are necessary for the abbreviation of the lottery: Basically, you must have mastered the same conditions as a regular contender:

• Character level 43 must be reached
• You must have completed the area “Lazy Marsh” and the associated quest

If you want, you can theoretically win the shadow lottery more often and complete the test again. So you then diligently collect Akeba’s coat of arms, with which you invite other players to the faction or save them for new members.

Diablo Immortal: Out of Shadows – Become an Adventurer or Immortal

How to leave the clan: Fed up with your shadow existence and want to be an adventurer again? Blizzard hid the clan exit somewhat in the case of the shadows:

• Go the Shadow Clan Gathering Hall
• At the end you will find the NPC “The Unspeakable” (The Untold)
• With the blue glowing NPC you then manually select the option to exit
• Alternative: You also leave the Shadow Clan if your group has been defeated in the Shadow War weekly event or if you become one of the 500 Immortals

Can I rejoin the shadows? Yes! You can use either of the methods above in the guide to become a member of the Shadows again (this is where your additional Akebas Crest comes into play). This gives you access to the additional orders and the loot again.
