Asyn Shades are undead spectral creatures that lurk behind the black door of the Mort'ton shade catacombs dungeon, and are fought in the Shades of Mort'ton minigame. They initially appear as blue moving shadows on the ground and then rise from the depths to attack. On occasion they have also been known to leave their catacombs to attack trekkers and ramblers in the town above their dark burial place. Their remains can be cremated with yew or better pyre logs as part of the Shades of Mort'ton minigame, requiring a Firemaking level of 65.

As with all shades in Mort'ton, Asyn shades possess 2 traits you should be aware of:

  1. A unique trait in which their failed accuracy rolls do not count as combat; therefore actions usually restricted during combat can still be performed should this occur. Note that this also affects auto-retaliate, however they can still successfully hit a 0.
  2. A 1/20 chance to temporarily lower all of a player's combat stats by 1 on a successful hit that inflicts damage, which can stack.[1].

As Asyn shades are undead, they are susceptible to the effects of Crumble Undead and the Salve amulet. They are also weak to the Gadderhammer, although a dragon scimitar deals more damage on average.
