Throne and Liberty: How to defeat the Dark Specter

As one of the strongest foes on the first floor of the Temple of Sylaveth, the Dark Specter can be considered one of the most unique enemies in Throne and Liberty.

But don’t let that intimidate you, as although not a simple foe to tackle when solo, summoning the enemy will be way trickier than facing it. To help you complete the Evidence of Corruption Codex quickly, here’s how to defeat the Dark Specter in Throne and Liberty, as well as how to force the enemy to appear.

How to summon the Dark Specter in Throne and Liberty

When on any of the floors of the Temple of Sylaveth, you can make a Dark Specter appear by defeating enemies within the vicinity of a Specter Chisel. The chisel will be hard to miss given its deep blue color and will continue to absorb the energy of the fallen until it breaks, releasing the Specter. You can find the first chisel by heading to the east portion of the dungeon’s second room, as shown below.

When at the above area, you can easily summon the Specter by picking off the Shade Assassins and Enforcers roaming around it one by one. Be careful, however, as making a wrong turn and getting targeted by a few Shade Wizards while in battle can spell your end. As ideally, you should be able to effortlessly defeat the mentioned enemies in 1v1 battles, I recommend that those having trouble with that either look for a party or upgrade their gear before returning to the dungeon.

After summoning the Dark Specter to the fray, you will be able to defeat it by first hitting it as soon as it appears and then singling it out from the crowd. This is a must, as it will stop other players from sniping the enemy and other mobs in the area from joining in.

Regarding the battle by itself, there’s not much that we can say, as apart from having a considerably larger health pool, the Specter won’t pose much of a threat when compared to the Shade Assassins. So just focus on spamming your most damaging Skills and parrying at every opportunity. If you want to be fully prepared, eating a few damage-enhancing and defense-oriented dishes/potions will also make a big difference during the fight. Make sure to also bring a few Recovery Crystals for safe measure.
