How do I get rid of the purple barriers around a Shadowlord in combat?
You can’t. While a tool exists which can remove the ethereal wards, the Shadowlords will steal it before the combat begins if you actually obtain it before defeating them. The best way to handle the Shadowlord in combat is Xen Corp or a glass sword. • 6.1.6 Q: Then how do I get rid of the barriers when I do encounter them in the absence of a Shadowlord? A: The Scepter of Lord British will destroy them. • 6.1.7 Q: How do I get through the walls in the bottom room in Dungeon Deceit? A: From the north side you need to get the northern torch on the east wall and push east when standing where it was. This opens a gap in the wall. The other triggers are in the east and west walls of the chambers in the barrier. The final triggers are north and south to open the north and south walls respectively. From the south side, press north in the alcove in the west wall to open the first chamber in the barrier. There is a screenshot showing the trigger positions: [Information courtesy of Tierre Dragon]
