Not to be mistaken with Black Knight

A Shadow warrior is a deceased knight, back from the plane of death. However, they are not considered undead, so Crumble Undead and the Salve amulet have no effect on them. Shadow warriors are popular monsters to train on because they have a reasonably high number of Life points for their level, they drop crimson charms frequently, Guthan's set is effective against them, and it is rumoured that they drop dragon half-shields and dragon spears more frequently than other monsters.

After completion of Legends' Quest, Shadow warriors are also a slayer task given by Chaeldar and Vannaka. These monsters don't appear on the mini map. The examine info 'He's a shadow of his former self' is a reference to the popular phrase. Shadow warriors appear to be wielding battleaxes, but they attack at the same speed as scimitars.

Killing a Shadow warrior is a hard Ardougne task.

Habitats

Trivia

• The way that Shadow warriors stand and walk is similar to the way that avatars and similar NPCs used to stand and walk before the RuneScape HD Graphic Update.
• Although it appears that Shadow warriors are deceased black knights, one does not gain White knight Commendation Points when killing them.
