Minecraft Dungeons:Shadow Brew

"Grants invisibility and boosts your next melee attack"

- In-game description

A Shadow Brew is a potion $$.

Obtaining
Shadow Brews are mainly obtainable by defeating mobs, and opening chests.

The common armor enchantment Surprise Gift and the common weapon enchantment Looting also have a chance to create the potion, as well as other consumables.

The common ranged weapon enchantment Shadow Shot (Only obtainable by the Shadow Crossbow and Veiled Crossbow) give the Shadow Brew effect, as well as the Shadow Shifter and the Satchel of Elixirs artifacts, which all gives the same effect.

Witches often throw potions identical to Shadow Brews. However, these potions create a purple cloud that does continuous damage more like the Poison Cloud enchantment, unlike actual Shadow Brews.

Usage
When drunk, Shadow Brews grant the hero invisibility and increased damage on the next melee attack, which are combined into the Shadow Form buff. Shadow Form lasts for ten seconds and ends after hitting an enemy or when the duration runs out.

Shadow Form
Grants invisibility, which causes nearby mobs to not be aggressive towards the hero, and also makes the hero’s character transparent, while leaving armor and weapons fully visible. Taking off equipment beforehand has no additional benefit.

Next attack does increased damage.

If an attack does 100 damage, with Shadow Form it deals 800.

If the buff Strength from Strength Potion is active as well, the result is 900.
