Shadows of Malice: Seekers of a Hidden Light

About this expansion

Shadows of Malice: Seekers of a Hidden Light is an expansion for 1–8 players that adds new opportunities, challenges, and atmosphere to the Shadows of Malice base game. With a listed play time of 360 minutes, it gives avatars additional ways to pursue their goals in the world of Shadows of Malice.

The expansion introduces three central elements: bait, quests, and Lux. Bait helps avatars provoke out-of-lair encounters more easily and influence the types of creatures they encounter. This can be especially useful when working toward specific quest objectives.

Quests are gathering and slaying tasks assigned to avatars by Mystics. They vary in difficulty and provide rewards including soulshards, potions, and Lux. By taking on these objectives, players can add another layer of purpose and progression to their adventures.

• Bait: Influence out-of-lair encounters and the creatures encountered.
• Quests: Complete Mystic-assigned gathering and slaying tasks for rewards.
• Lux: Earn enough to commission powerful potions and have potent runes carved into items.

With enough Lux, avatars can commission Lux Potions and have potent Lux Runes carved into their items. These additions help prepare them to dispatch the Stronghold Guardians, destroy the Shadows, and thwart Xulthûl’s plans for world domination.

Seekers of a Hidden Light is designed for players seeking more thematic flavor and additional challenges in Shadows of Malice. Its new encounter tools, varied quests, and Lux rewards expand the ways avatars can approach the dangers ahead.
