A different version!?
That’s interesting…
#I was wondering why mine was only a Blue Rarity item!
That certainly explains a lot. Kind of a “Rich Get Richer” scenario, but in this mode you need it, so it’s all good. 
Mine was an epic rarity.
Wonder what the differences are.
I imagine that more and more power is added the higher the tier.
High Score on Godlike= Ultra Cheese?
I also imagine the unlock quota is much higher
This is what it took me to get 2 Epic ones, and that was with losing to Gargos.
I have 2 of them one for beating the game on challenger, then another one from doing a random mission. Gonna hold on to them for when I attempt my Godlike run.
It said it gave me another one when I did a mission with it equipped, but I think it’s a bugnaince I still only have the one.
Trying to see how long I can delay Gargos and build myself some Astral Energy for my poor starving guardians (it’s hard to come by, folks!), then I’ll use it alongside [spoiler]the Temperance and Vengeance item you get for killing Maya in Mira’s non-leader questline.[/spoiler]
What does that item do, do you know?
Not sure. Seems like it gave me a longer Instinct, which I think is one of Gargos’ buffs, isn’t it?
Perhaps it gives you a random Gargos power every time you use it. It wasn’t anything crazy; TJ didn’t sprout wings and start portal punching anyone, but I do wonder if you get some of the crazy stuff Gargos can do in his boss form if you apply it to him…
I should also note that I only got to use this for one match; I ended up starting a new run while it was still active because…I dunno, I’m an idiot, I guess.
Either way, I still have one more, and if I can earn it once I’m sure I can earn it again.
So What the hell?
Either it’s random with the buffs it gives you, or it’s based on the difficulty version.
Again, mine gave me massive Shadow/Instinct gain and one touch level 4 enders.
What if the rarer the version you have the more of gargos buffs you’ll have on you while the more common ones you’ll just get one or two.
But I have the Epic version though. Unless there really were more powerups that I didn’t notice, which is possible. Maybe I had parry and something else that wasn’t immediately noticeable?
Question, how long does the item last?
There are various tiers/ versions of the Shadow Lord item, so i’m assuming depending on which tier the item is it will last longer. The one I have says it lasts 2 turns, but someone else said theirs last 3.

I got 2 of the 3 turn SL items and it was off of 1 gargos beat down on normal.
I think this would be a good time to summon the devs…
@developers could you guys give us a run-down of what the Shadow Lord gems do exactly, or do we have to keep stumbling around trying to figure out what they do and don’t do?
I managed to last to day 30 on normal, it was getting VERY hard so I just ended it and managed to beat Gargos and got this item x2. No idea what it does.

Same here. As far as I know and what some have speculated is that it gives us one of the buffs Gargos can obtain, but still unclear at this time. I have 3 that I’m holding on to until there has been some sort of clarification.
@CrimsonRick117 @xCrimsonLegendx I can confirm that it makes the Gargos fight easier. Just how so is still unknown, as we’ve had some mixed results, but we know it helps.
