Avatar of Shadows Over Loathing is the Spring 2023 special challenge path, introduced on February 15, 2023. This path adds variant rules and restrictions to an ascension run. Its description in The Bureau of Reincarnation reads "Play as one of the classes from the recently-released smash hit video game Shadows Over Loathing, by Asymmetric Games!"
Restrictions
- No access to any non-path skills.
- You cannot join a guild.
- Standard restrictions apply.
Divergences
- When starting an Avatar of Shadows Over Loathing run, the player chooses one of three classes in Into the Shadows.
Class
Rather than playing any of the traditional 6 classes, you will play as one of three special classes, each with its own skills.
- These classes are: Pig Skinner (Muscle), Cheese Wizard (Mysticality), and Jazz Agent (Moxie).
Skills
Regular class skills are disallowed, and each class gets a new set of skills:
- Pig Skinners start with Tackle and get 21 skills from Advanced Pig Skinning.
- Cheese Wizards start with Caseus Vampirus and get 21 skills from The Cheese Wizard's Companion.
- Jazz Agents start with Demoralizing Toot and get 21 skills from Jazz Agent sheet music.
- Skills cost meat and can be purchased in any order.
Bosses
- Most bosses are replaced with shadowy versions. They drop cursed items with powerful enchantments but significant drawbacks. Cursed items can be turned into uncursed versions which are less powerful but without drawbacks. This cannot be undone.
