=== Walkthrough ===
 
* After completing 5-1, you will need roughly 3 stacks of crystals worth of Rank points before you can get 5-2.
 
**Alternatively, you can repeat Mission 1-2 ([[Bat Hunt]]) six (6) times to gain access to this mission.
 
* After accepting this mission, speak to [[Halver]] and then to [[Trion|Prince Trion]] for a cutscene.
 
* Upon zoning into [[Castle Zvahl Baileys ]], go straight until you encounter the first intersection and make a left. Go down a small flight of stairs and then turn right and follow the left wall and you will enter the Orc section of the castle.
 
* Go through the area to the west again and eventually you will zone into [[Castle Zvahl Keep]].
 
* Once you enter [[Castle Zvahl Keep]], you will have to open several gates, very often in front of mobs that detect on sight.
 
* You will encounter a series of teleport devices. These devices will cancel the Invisible effect after they are used. Once you use the last device, run to the west exit of the map where you will find a zoneline to the [[Throne Room]].
 
* When ready, gather in front of the door. When you enter, a cutscene will happen and the fight begins. Cast the prefight buffs before getting closer.
 
* This fight is level capped at level 75. (Meaning that buffs will wear upon entry.)
 
* The [[Shadow Lord]] has 2 forms. In the first form he alternates between physical and magic immunity. He has magic immunity until around 50% HP, then starts to switch to physical. From this point he will switch about every 5 minutes or 1000 damage.
 
:* When Shadow Lord starts taking 0 damage from physical attacks, mages need to nuke repeatedly and rest when melee are able to deal damage again.
 
:* When he's immune to magic, he uses a Dark Nova WS (AOE [[Darkness]] damage) and casts [[Black Mage]] spells.
 
::* Dark Nova seems to indicate that he will switch to physical immunity very soon, after casting a spell or two. So use your TP quickly.
 
:* When he's immune to physical, he uses a variety of WS (Giga Slash, Kick Back, Umbra Smash).
 
* After the first form is defeated, a cutscene will appear. The second form will show up after the cutscene and does not wait for you to rest.
 
* This form of Shadow Lord will do nothing but a AOE attack but only has 4000 HP and should go down quickly.
 
:* Melees should use their 2 hour abilities and Icarus Wing if possible to have TP for their best weaponskill. Mages should cast their Curaga spells.
 
* After this form is defeated, another cutscene occurs. Once the cutscene ends, you will be transported back to the entrance of [[Castle Zvahl Baileys]]. Here you will receive the [[Key Item]] [[Shadow Fragment]].
 
* Speak to [[Halver]] for Rank 6 and your Gil.
 
* Report back to [[Prince Trion]] in the ''Great Hall'' for a cutscene. (not in [[Prince Trion]]'s room)
 
   
===Notes===
 
* The [[Shadow Lord]] gives experience points for a Level 60 mob.
 
* This fight can be soloed by a RDM/NIN or PUP/WAR or /NIN. Taking about 17 minutes for RDM, 14 to 15 minutes for PUP.
 
* Duoed by a 70RDM/35WHM and a 75NIN/37THF taking about 18 minutes
 
* Soloed by a 75PLD/RDM taking about 21 minutes
 
* Soloed by a 75nin/whm or /dnc using elemental ninjutsu tools for magic damage.
 
* Soloed by a 75BLU/NIN AutoRefresh Trait and Vermillion cloak are necessary unless you bring meds.
 
* Soloed by a 73PLD/WHM 27m34s. 3 Yag. Drinks, 5 Hi-Potion.
 
*Soloed by a 75DRG/BLU 14m31s. Very easy; 10min of the 14 was because he was immune to physical damage. I used 2yag drinks and a Icarus Wing; However I could have done it without the wing. No 2hr was required
 
* Soloed by a 75MNK/NIN. Does require Formless Strikes during his physical immunity.
