Im thinking of trying to organise a group for a shadow lair, but dont want to be caught short because of my equipment. Are the enemies still the same but harder on each stage? What changes?
Which weapons and armor would you say is the most appropriate for snarby?
Thanks guys!
There are changes, it's way harder.
For snarby, everything deal poison, and you are going to see lots of undeads (zombies, kats, howlitzers) in addition to beasts (obviously). There are also a few Lumbers, but it's not worth gearing against them.
You'll need Piercing and Elemental damage for your weapons.
For your armor/shield, you'll need normal, piercing, shadow and poison. The ideal set for swordsman is Skolver + Snarby (assuming you already did it xD). If you don't have Snarby, Radiant Silvermail is good, but require to do it specifically for this level, full Skolver is ok, or you could use another shadow resistant armor of your choice.
As for the shield, BTS is great for swordsman, otherwise either your standard piercing shield or Dread Skelly Shield. The Dread Skelly Shield is great to tank flying Howlitzers or kats bullets barrage.
For the strategy, please consult the wiki.
There is a page in the wiki, where you can learn about the enemies in the Shadow Lairs, and to get some recommendations for how to equip.
The name of the page is "Shadow Lair".
