Move along the marked opening, then jump down and watch the next video in which the elven soul will kill the clone. Thus, you will have to beware of these souls. Just follow the debris to the top and go through the opening. Go through the top straight to Styx. Watch the cutscene in which you will be killed. And again a video in which the elf saves you. He asks you to stop Styx - he must not steal the heart of the tree. Agree to his request and move on to the next task.

Ignition

You will have to quickly get to the library and get the necessary documents that will allow you to uncover a conspiracy. Go to the right side, passing the guards unnoticed along the way. Soon you will have to climb up the wall. Here you will now need to pass the beetles and move further along the stairs. Now you will have to wait for the moment when the guards on the right side pass straight, after which you quickly go to their place. Afterwards, hide behind the barrels and from here you will need to wait until the moment when you can go to the stairs, and from there to the top. Here you will have to create a clone and poison the food. You will have to wait until the guards die. After they die, move upstairs again. Again, go through the nasty bugs and quickly climb into the next opening and go to a new location - the library.

Jump down onto the mats and go to the left side behind the guards, after which you will need to sharply turn to the left and immediately crawl under the table. Walk past the orc and make a new clone. Using the created clone, poison another food, but in the tower next door, and then open the doors. Go further under the table and climb to the top. Keep an eye on your target and soon jump on it, subsequently killing it. Take the specified documents. Now go to the magazine and find the stairs, then go to the embassy. Walk along the familiar streets straight to the castle. Now you can return to your lair and talk with the Elf. Next, watch the next video.

Now you will find yourself in a castle already familiar to you. Move to the roof of the building, bypassing many guards and corridors along the way. Go out onto the balcony and watch the airship, which will soon leave the area. Return to the premises of a familiar old man and watch another death. At this point there will be a video again, after which you go to bed. When night falls, you will need to return to the airship again. Here you will have to attack Iron. After his death, go down to the laboratory and go through the corridors. Again kill the Elf who once led you. After this, another scene. Go to the place where there was once another puzzle on the floor. Complete this puzzle and move to the tree - here you meet Styx. Kill all the clones, then cut off the Heart of the Tree. This will be followed by a video in which Styx dies, and you take his place.

This is the walkthrough of the game. Watch the final video.

You should immediately prepare for the fact that Styx is not a AAA blockbuster with advanced graphics and a multi-million dollar budget, no. But with what the developers had, to achieve such a result requires enormous talent. What to achieve? Let's consider.

Before completing Styx: Master of Shadows, I highly recommend completing the RPG Of Orcs and Men to better understand the world of the game and learn more about the characters, including Styx, who is one of its main characters. The gameplay may seem clumsy, but the story is worth every minute of the not-so-fun fights. However, this is not critical, Master of Shadows is a prequel, and it will also tell the story and origin of Styx.

The game itself is a 3rd person stealth game, which bears little resemblance to most games in the genre, especially among those released recently. It’s more like a hodgepodge of the genre’s most successful ideas, which together look extremely organic and, most importantly, work.

Styx runs, jumps, climbs walls, clinging to ledges and special grips; his size allows him to crawl under tables and in sewers, remaining unnoticed. The important thing in jumping is to always correctly calculate the distance of the jump, because Styx will not cling a meter from the target, you need to think.

Jumping to the ground, however, makes noise and attracts enemies, but jumping to the carpet remains silent and also reduces fall damage if the height is too high.

The game is divided into chapters, between which Styx finds himself in a shelter, where he can replay missions, restore his supply of potions, upgrade his skills and look at trophies.

Missions are a chain of several huge, truly gigantic maps. They are large-scale, detailed, multi-level. There are always many possible paths to the goal, involving different passages. Some maps will be repeated in the plot, but you shouldn’t assume that going through them will be boring and monotonous - most likely, you won’t be able to go back the same way you went forward. There will be new guards in new places, you will have to look for a different path and really think about how to get through better.

You can simply walk on the ground, but there are usually more enemies, torches and fewer places to hide. You can look for hidden passages, holes in walls, climb higher under the ceiling and walk along beams. But none of the paths will be one hundred percent safe - there are guards and servants patrolling below, crossbowmen on the balconies and hills, and in general there are a lot of enemies.

Everything that is visible is available for movement

The walls are decorated with torches, which can and should be extinguished in order to reduce visibility, but do not think that in the shadows you will suddenly become invisible - the guards are extremely wide-eyed and even at an average level of difficulty they detect the hero quite easily if he makes mistakes, makes noise and runs in front of through the eyes of the patrolmen.

The worst solution to passing is to try to fight your way through. Styx is extremely weak in open combat, more than one enemy is an almost guaranteed death. The battle looks like this: if you did not have time to run away after being noticed, the camera focuses on the nearest enemy and a fight begins. When you are hit, at the moment of the blow you need to parry and after several parries kill the target. But at a time you can only parry the attacks of one enemy, while others can hit you in the back, throw daggers and use their abilities.

Although you can kill enemies quite successfully if you wish. Hit in the back, lure individuals with noise, throw daggers, jump from above, grab from around corners, poison food, throw off chandeliers, set a trap in a closet, throw from ledges, the main thing is to remain unnoticed.

\

There are not very many chances to escape after detection; daggers will fly at the running Styx and stun him for a split second, and if there are several enemies, he will simply die in a stunlock, standing still. In panic and stupidity, you can jump somewhere and fall to your death; the game takes place in a huge tower and there are plenty of places for a fatal fall.

The easiest way to demonstrate Styx's vulnerability is with a special trailer from the developers.

As I wrote above, the locations are huge, with a huge variety of passages, but is there an incentive to explore them? It exists, but it is not suitable for everyone - look for gold coins scattered and hidden everywhere, when you collect them all at the end of the mission you will receive additional experience. But here the main thing is to immediately decide for yourself - to collect everything or not to collect everything at all, because at the levels there are as many as thirty or forty pieces, and additional experience is given only if you collect everything at all.

In addition to ordinary soldiers, there are also special enemies. Knights are one-hit kills that can only be killed by dropping a chandelier on them. Elite crossbowmen that kill with one shot. Inquisitors who make you freeze in place. Beetles with super-sensitive hearing, which you need to pass by not only on your haunches, but also while walking, otherwise they will notice and immediately spit on you. Orcs, who act more like traps, if you walk past them and disturb them, they will grab you and devour you. Elves who can sense you and killing them close will not work.

Touching on the topic of difficulty, there are two types in the game: the first is standard, selected before the start of the game (can be changed during) from beginner to goblin, although even on average it becomes extremely difficult and sweaty in places. And there is a second difficulty - growing. If at the beginning you can feel like a predator and kill everyone, then as you progress there will be more and more enemies, their routes will be more dense and the number of special soldiers will increase. After each chapter, returning to the shelter, you feel joy and relief: you did it, you’re cool.

In general, it is extremely easy to die from falls, from knives, from arrows, you can accidentally fall into a fire and burn, disturb an orc and be eaten, etc. And that’s why stealth in this game is very important, unlike games coming out recently. Well, judge for yourself - Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Blacklist, Dishonored, Hitman: Absolution and even Thief (2014) are so easy to complete, even in the open (I'm now comparing average difficulty, at high Styx - this is some kind of prohibitive hardcore), just killing everyone, or have completely cheating gadgets and weapons, reducing all the interest of stealth passage to zero.

You can, of course, say “Yes, there is a choice there, go as you want!” Well, this shouldn’t happen in a stealth game, so if you try to pass unnoticed, you will be discovered, you will say “oh, fuck it” and kill all the enemies. In Styx you can’t do that; in Styx you have to ALWAYS think. And die, die, die until you learn, find your way, or you’re just lucky and the guard doesn’t turn around while you’re crawling behind him.

If you don’t annoy the guards too much, then even if they notice you, after a while they will calm down and return to their routes, BUT if you leave the bodies of the dead (they can be hidden in closets, but then you won’t be able to hide there or dissolve the corpse with a bottle of acid) or glow constantly - they will come into combat readiness, they will move faster, notice better and walk with their weapons drawn, and those who used to sleep at the post (yes, there are such people here) will join the patrolmen.

Enemies have good hearing, and small objects (chairs, buckets, brooms) when touched, fall and create noise, to which everyone in the area of ​​this noise immediately comes running. The situation is the same if you simply kill enemies, instead of using a slower but silent type of killing. You can whine about the slow kill, but it is necessary, it forces you to calculate the timing of whether you will have time to kill before the patrol returns, or is it better to try to get around.

The map, which was a pleasant surprise, does not show you or your enemies, and in general is just a level diagram, which you can navigate only by the special signs marked on it. In addition to the main plot, there are also additional missions, small but interesting. And in addition, in each chapter there is a special task to find a relic, in which you are given a hint image and you need to understand where and how to get the treasure. All this is intended to gain additional experience, which is needed to upgrade your skills.

The variability of leveling is not particularly great - there are several branches of different directions in which you can discover new perks one by one, but there is enough of it and, most importantly, there is nothing superfluous there.

Styx can’t carry very much with him and it’s worth spending his supplies sparingly - two cans of health, two cans of amber, two throwing daggers, three bottles of acid, five portions of sand for extinguishing torches from a distance and that’s all (daggers and health increase to three when leveling up ). Although all this can be found at the levels themselves, it usually lies where it is most difficult to get and the result is not always worth the effort. Also, some guards carry supplies on their belts and they can be stolen, but if you don’t steal them and kill the enemy first, the bottles break upon death, but you can still collect throwing daggers (but there are very few of them and you need to use them wisely).

The main skill of Styx is the creation of his own clones, with the help of which you can distract enemies, blow them up creating a smoke screen, crawl through bars, hide them in closets so that they jump out at enemies and generally should not be neglected. The game's advice is that with their help you can get out of any trouble, and this is true if you use it wisely.

Styx can also turn on invisibility and special vision for a short period of time (well, this is standard, it highlights enemies and mounts for climbing). For all this, an analogue of stamina is used - amber, which is not restored over time, only in bottles, which means it must be used extremely sparingly, invisibility eats up half the strip at once. A resource is wasted on a clone, but if it is not blown up and if it is not stabbed and recalled, the stamina will be restored.

The plot, as in many other games from the studio, is wonderful. Twists make you gasp, and the story itself keeps you in suspense until the very end; between chapters there are pleasant hand-drawn cutscenes, and during missions the silence is broken by well-written monologues of Styx and the chatter of the guards. In addition, the soundtrack is dynamic, varied, depends on the situation and is pleasant to listen to.

The main problem of the game is the very mediocre graphics, the characters are wooden, the textures are of low quality, in the same Of Orcs And Men the faces were much more alive, but don’t despair, not everything is so bad. The work with light was done well (which is important for stealth), and the design of levels and enemies is beyond praise.

Eventually. Styx: Master of Shadows is a very intelligent and complex stealth game, extremely interesting and high-quality, any fan of the genre is simply obliged to spend their fifteen hours on this game, which I would call the best in the genre since Thief: Deadly Shadows (excluding Hitman , this is still a completely different type of stealth).

Our article will discuss the main points walkthroughs of the game Styx Shards of Darkness. You'll learn how to solve the most difficult puzzles, how to defeat powerful bosses and find the best collectibles. More details below.

Prologue of Styx Shards Of Darkness. City of thiefs

Follow the marker. When you see the first enemies, go around the building. There will be two opponents here. Follow them on the right and go up. Create a clone, switch to it (everything is done by pressing the “1” key) and lure out the opponents. Jump down and climb through the hole in the wall of the house.

Summary of the first mission

Inside the house, steal the document when the enemy turns away. Climb to the very top and use your double to distract the enemy in the corridor. The door is locked with a master key, but you can get around it through the open window on the right.

Video walkthrough of the prologue:

Get to the next place where you will need to steal three guard salaries from the tavern. The first is located in the basement, where you can go down through a common corridor. The second is located at the very top. But the third is the most difficult to obtain - access to the premises is closed. Need a master key. To the left of the room door there is an exit to the balcony. Go through and climb the ledge around the building and then enter the bedroom. There is a master key on the bed. Use it to get into the room with the last belongings.

At the very top, untie the balloon and leave the location.

The first mission of Styx Shards Of Darkness. Revelations

Since there is nothing difficult in this part, we will therefore describe the location of all the posters and tokens.

The first minutes of the game are educational. Here you will literally be led by the hand. Let's find all the tokens and posters.

When you follow Efron, while at the top, remove first poster (1/11) from a wooden beam with a rope along which you need to slide down.

Once the mission requires you to get to the ship, enter the building with red banners and a yellow spot (about 140 meters before the ship) and on one of the tables (without a lamp) find first token (1/10).

From the same building, climb out through the window in the far right corner, to the right of the table with the first token, and go left to the locked door. Hanging to her right second poster (2/11).

Being opposite the same door, move away from it in the opposite direction and on one of the barrels standing next to each other, find second token (2/10).

Video walkthrough of the city of thieves from the first chapter:

Go up the steps and you will see third poster (3/11) on the corner of a red building.

Rise higher. There will be a closed door on the left. A little further on a box near the cart (literally 2 meters) lies third token (3/10).

To the right on the beam, 4-5 meters away, you can find fourth poster (4/11).

From here turn left. There will be a fall between two buildings. In the distance you can see a beam with two metal rings. There is a ledge near the window of the building on the left. Jump on it, climb up and jump onto the stone ledge behind the wooden beam with rings. Go down the rope and pick it up from the barrel token (4/10).

Go up the stairs nearby and take off poster (5/11) at the doorway of the building on the left.

Next poster (6/11) located inside the same building, on the bar counter.

Climb over the bar counter and look on the shelves of the bartender's closet token (5/10).

Inside the building, go up to the second floor. Follow even higher, to the very top, where there is a crafting table. On the next table lies token (6/10).

From here, jump down and on the building with a piece of thatched roof find poster (7/11).

Go to the large gate and remove the one hanging on it poster (8/11).

Make your way through the hole to the right of the gate and find the token (7/10).

Next poster (9/11) hanging on a wooden door nearby - the entrance to the red building behind the gate.

Enter this building and find poster (10/11) on the table.

From this table, go to the far room where the man is lying by the window, and on the right side of the cabinet find token (8/10).

Go up to the second floor of this building, go outside and go right around the corner. Climb through the window into the building and on the table on the left, behind the chest you will find another token (9/10).

From here, crawl through the hole under the table, opposite the other one where the token was, go through the door back into the building and go up even higher. There will be a huge chest here, while token (10/10) lies on the small one on the right.

To the left of the large chest on the box lies the last poster (11/11).

Diplomatic vessels

At this level, go down inside the ship through the window and, when the enemy leaves, replace the navigator card. Just wait. This way you will catch up with the other airships. Shoot the ballista and use the rope to get to the other side. Before taking the scepter, steal 3 emblems from the warriors marked with markers. You can kill them. In this case, you will receive the emblems automatically after everyone dies.

Follow the scepter and climb inside the room through the window above the door. Leave the ship.

Second mission: Corrangar (Helledrin's Ship)

Just talk to Helledryn about everything, and then use the helm.

Corrangar Gate

The difficulty lies in finding the route inside Corrangar. Follow the marker until you see some elves. You need to go around them in a circle clockwise to find ledges in the far part of the rock. Climb them higher and you will see another group of elves. Here you need to climb onto the wooden crane and jump onto the roof of the building in the center. Climb the rope from it to the window and climb to the top floor.

Exit to the bridge - the gate ahead is closed. Climb the rocks on the right and climb up to climb inside through the window.

Find the pass - it lies on the far table of the indicated room. Use the R key to simplify your search.

Go back and sound the signal when you replace the documents. Give the pass to Helledrina when her airship arrives at the desired location. Go upstairs and go to a new location - to residential areas.

Residential areas

Everything will be simpler here - the location is darker, it’s difficult to notice you. You need to get to the amber warehouse. Before moving to the marker, collect five tiles. From the starting point, get to the last room of the red building. It's dark inside, the light is green. Inside is the first tile.

Go to the next floor, get out onto the small roof in the middle of the area and jump into the small window of the building on the left. Get out using the same window on the other side and move along the rope to the balcony of the neighboring building.

The following tiles are in similar rooms (with green light). The second is in the first room in the row of buildings above. Then use the balconies to jump all the way to the end, to the last house that is closest to the marker. The third tile is in the room downstairs, directly below you. Return to the beginning once you've collected it.

Leave the room and use the handles on the stone wall to climb up to the balcony, where you will move to another area. There will be no side quests or tiles for the near future.

When you see the elves, follow them. Watch out for whoever is leaning against the wall. The inside of the building is very bright. You need the stairs on the left. The best option would be invisibility. Move along the corridor to the other end, from where you can get to the vault lock.

Now you need to move the tiles you found earlier. The safe will open after solving the puzzle. Read the inscriptions that contain hidden clues. Place the patterns on the desired columns. Use amber vision to see the numbering. Install the following tiles:

• I - “Fire” (2 turns).
• II - “Skulls” (2 turns).
• II - “Worm” (2 turns).
• IV - "Face" or something similar (3 turns).
• V - “Fire” (1 turn).

A passage inside will open.

The third mission of Styx Shards Of Darkness. Diplomacy

There is nothing difficult in this mission - just follow from marker to marker and do what is required of you.

Fourth mission: Styx Shards Of Darkness. Hidden mystery

When you complete this task, you will encounter a hidden riddle.

Once you get into the main building, you can go down to the second level, where there will be one guard. Go there for new mission objectives to appear - use the hidden switch in the bookcase. Approach it and interact to open a secret passage.

A puzzle awaits you inside: you must click on the statues in the correct order to complete the ritual description sequence. The sequence is visible in the figure above. As soon as you do this, the grate in the passage will rise, and you will see a dagger. There will be 3 worms protecting it. Wait at the gate until the first two come out. Take the weapon.

The new dagger has the following unique abilities:

• Bonus: Silences the sound of all ground kills.
• Penalty: The blade is too fragile to parry enemy attacks.

Boss fight

In this chapter you will have to fight the first real boss - the Queen of the Roabies. In principle, there is nothing difficult. You must have enough health left. At the beginning, run up to the enemy, moving in a zigzag. You must approach the crystals and destroy them using the interaction button. You need to choose a good moment for this so that the enemy does not have time to hit the GG with his tentacles. Fortunately, the damage in this case will still be minimal (on normal difficulty).

You must destroy a total of 8 crystals, while others are located even higher. After destroying each of them, quickly look for a stone behind which you can hide and wait out the acid attack. Not a single method of attack will benefit your character - only the destruction of crystals.

The tentacles will turn red before attacking. You will also hear a characteristic sound. To perform the trick, it is better to use throw (F). If you stand on the metal grate and manage to dodge, the tentacles will get stuck in it for a while. Don't forget to also use cover often and hang on ledges for extra protection.

Keep an eye out for small red cocoons on the ground. Very dangerous insects will appear from them. The best way to escape from them is to go upstairs. After some time, these monsters will disappear on their own.

When all the crystals are destroyed, move towards the dead body and take the quartz.

The fifth mission of Styx Shards Of Darkness. In a trap

After you find the captain, you will need to sneak him on board unnoticed. To do this, proceed like this:

1. Hide behind the rail closest to the boat.
2. Activate invisibility.
3. Bring the captain's body on board.
4. Activate the mechanism near the boat.

The sixth mission of Styx Shards Of Darkness. The smell of freedom

If you want to find quartz in the city of thieves, then move along the left side of the location, using the roofs of houses, rocks and ropes. Inside the distant house there will be a piece of quartz. Pick up distracting objects and throw them so that the person with the staff moves away. Take the quartz.

Find Jack the Grip below. There is a hole to the left of the door - use it. Hide under the table so that the enemy will pass by you. After killing Jack, collect evidence by searching the body.

Arlock can be killed a little more gracefully. Find the love letter and take it to Finnley's office. Place it on the table out of sight. Wait for Finnla to read the letter. He will kill Arlock with his own hands. Pick up the badge when no one can see you. Get to Helledryn.

Labyrinth of Initiation

Get to the room with the troll and talk about everything with Helledrin. She will ask you to get rid of the monster. Find the button in the floor right next to the captain's holding cell. Stand on it, and then walk around the perimeter of the room clockwise. After a few steps you will find the same button. Stand on it. A lever will appear on the column. Lower to remove the troll platform. Talk to Helledryn again. Click on the third button in the floor and pick up the Stealth Challenge sign.

Jump over a few more tiles in the center. In the corridor with the falling columns and spinning saws, run along the left wall. It is important to choose the right moment.

Step on the button and collect the Wisdom Challenge tile.

In a test of courage, use a dart to distract the enemy at the first saws. Run, choosing the moment. At the end you will need to jump on platforms on tall dragon statues. Do this to get to the tile room.

In a test of faith you will need to walk across a transparent bridge. Use RMB so that if you fail, you won’t fall down, but catch on to the edge. When the distance to the visible platform is small, be sure to jump onto it. You will soon receive the fourth tile.

You also need two tiles. For an agility challenge, stand on the button in the floor. She opens the door ahead. Find the moment so that you can jump across all the platforms on thin legs before the door closes. This will complete the test and you will receive the fifth tile.

In a test of strength, distract the elf standing opposite, and then go into the corridor. Here a beam of light moves in a circle. If you get under it, the circular saws will start (for a few seconds). You need to go clockwise, hiding from the light in each of the hatches. Do this one at a time.

You need to get to the center of the room. You will have to alternate corridors - the outer one with a larger radius, the inner one with a smaller one. There are places where you can hide from the light under shelters. There will be a button in the middle - stand on it to open the door. Then run back a little and pick up the last, sixth tile.

When the large gate opens, go past the opponents using invisibility. All that's left is to get to the exit.

The seventh mission of Styx Shards Of Darkness. Manipulation

After the conversation on the ship, go to the top floor of the temple and listen to the conversation between Maolak and her companions. Before you go after Maolak and steal the amulet, take the clear quartz from the place where she stood. Go down and throw two bottles away from the quartz to distract the enemies. Pull out the quartz.

Go to the far room. While avoiding the priestesses, approach Maolak from behind and steal the amulet.

Proceed down and open the secret passage. There will be a puzzle with columns, mirrors and a blue beam.

Riddle in the temple (blue beam)

Rotate the second column, counting from the steps. If the beam was turned to the left (if you are facing the steps), then now it will go to the column on the right. Turn this column to the right so that the beam goes to another column closer to the closed passage. Turn it around (if you are facing the closed passage, then next to it, a little to the left). The beam will go to the column near the near wall. Turn it so that the beam goes to the column located along the same wall. Rotate this column and the beam will go to the column in the center of the room. Turn it, which will open a passage.

Please note that after you take the dagger, insects will attack you. Use darts to destroy them.

Nobles' Quarter

Place a letter on the table of the dwarf ambassador so that he goes to the meeting place for the crystals. Get there before the ambassador arrives. Wash yourself so that the gnome doesn't smell you. Sneak up behind him and kill him.

The eighth mission of Styx Shards Of Darkness. Sabotage

In the hunters' village you will need to pick up a bomb from the warehouse. But first, you can find pure quartz. The location is well guarded, so you need to find the right approach. When you pick up the bomb, then, using amber vision, follow the white tracks to the desired location. When all the bombs are stolen, leave the location.

Goblin Prison

Plant all the bombs and then enter the slaughterhouse. Roll down, jumping onto the ledge in time. Go through the corridor with descending columns. First follow the first two, and then, after pausing, follow the remaining three.

Go through the tunnels with bugs and climb the rope. After collecting loot indoors, jump up the ledges and handles on the wall. Plant the last bomb and get out of here.

The ninth mission of Styx Shards Of Darkness. Revenge

Once you're ready for battle, talk to Jarak. The final battle with a huge stone Golem awaits you.

Move towards the ballista, hiding behind cover. When you jump on the handles on the rocks, stay behind them so that the Golem does not kill you with stones. The battle will consist of several stages, but all of them are related to the fact that you must follow in the direction of the marker, avoiding certain techniques of the boss. First, hide from the stones, then - from the flow of energy, after a while - avoid his gaze (the light falls where the Golem is looking).

You can save only after some stages - when you go through the segment where the Golem is trying to look out for you (light on the location). This is the main difficulty!

After destroying the Golem, watch the final cutscene ending Styx Shards of Darkness walkthrough.
