The Stygian Lurker

This is a Side Quest in Hades (Act IV). There is a shade eating monster in the swamps beyond the River Styx. Go kill it.

Walkthrough[]

Talk to Copreus near the Styx portal to receive the quest
Go to the northern tip of the third basin of the Stygian Marsh and kill the Shade Feaster. It is marked with a yellow ! on your radar as you get close.

The image shows the path to the monster in yellow and the path from there to the region exit in green.

Note: Rumor has it that the Shade Feaster is sometimes in the south eastern corner of the marsh.
