Shadowstep
Shadowstep turns you into black mist and red moths for a moment, so you cover distance almost instantly. At night it is your main way up walls and towers.

Good to know
- Vampires and Dawnwalkers both have it.
- Vampires can also use it to cling to steep surfaces.
- The red moths come from the realm of Anachora.
- You need it to climb scouting towers, which is why towers are night-only.
- On controller you hold R2 or RT to Shadowstep up walls.
What it does in play
Use it to jump gaps, reach ledges and get onto rooftops fast. It is how you get into Vicho's Emporium by the balcony and up Svartrau's walls.
Day or night
It is a vampire power, so it only works after dark. By day Coen has to climb and walk like anyone else.
