How to Beat Shadow Man

Kill The Grim Reaper That Summoned Them

The Shadow Man are summoned souls by the Grim Reaper and thus, killing the summoner also causes all the Shadow Man to die.

Avoid Running to Them After Killing the Reaper

The Shadowmen won't die immediately after the death of the reaper. Wait for a few seconds and confirm their deaths to avoid a potential last hurrah attack from the Shadow Men.
