The Shadow Enclave Delve Guide: Location, Boss Strategies, and Trash
This page will cover everything you need to know about the Shadow Enclave Delve in the Midnight Expansion, including strategies for events, trash, and bosses.
Getting into the Shadow Enclave
MISSING is a Delve located on the Southwest side of Eversong Woods, by the Ruins of Deathholme.
This guide will provide all the specifics you need to complete the MISSING delve across all tiers of difficulties (from Tier 1 to Tier 11). We will cover delve events, optional bosses (rares), as well as end of the dungeon boss and their abilities. If you would like to learn about the rest of the Delves in Midnight, please see our overviews linked below.

Events and Trash Mobs in the Shadow Enclave
Event #1: Mirror Shine
In this event, you must carry mirrors around the delve to spread light through the dark corridors of the Delve, and prevent yourself from being eaten by grues. Mirrors must hit Shadow Nexuses to help spread the light further.
While standing in the light, you and enemies are Dazzled, with an increasing chance of being critically struck.
Event #2: Shadowy Supplies
In this event, the Twilight's Blade have crept back into the Delve to recover, and we must "relieve" them out of their valuables before they recover. Valuables are dropped from Twilight's Blade mobs or lootable on the ground around the Delve.w
Event #3: Traitor's Due
In this event, we pursue Lord Antenorian, former mayor of Tranquillien turned Twilight's Blade leader, throughout the Delve. We do this by stopping rituals, deactivating void orbss and purging cultists.
This Delve event variant is the one players experience throughout during the Midnight leveling, as part of the Eversong Woods questline.
Lord Antenorian Boss Guide
Lord Antenorian is the boss of all event variants in the Shadow Enclave. He is a very straightforward Midnight delve boss, with only two abilities; here is what you have to do to defeat him more easily:
- All interrupts should go to Shadow Bolt, as Antenorian constantly casts it.
- Throughout the fight, Antenorian will enshroud himself in
Shadowveil Annihilation,
becoming immune and starting a channel. If Antenorian finishes the channel, he deals lethal Shadow
damage to everyone. - To counter this, kill the three Shadow Orbs that are linked with Antenorian through the channel. If all three are killed before the channel ends, the shield will break and Antenorian will take increased damage for a few seconds.
