A rogue with lockpicks is very handy for this run

If the Planar Anchor is not already in Noctopia you get to experience the joy that is Noctopia shift. See Shiftwatch Orb for hints on surviving this process. Once you clear shift go s, d, w, {d} to reach a Lloydable room in Under The Stars. Note that that final down exit is a bashable door. Also note that the "bleeding tunnels" portion of Under The Stars is noregen.

From the Lloydable room in Under The Stars go all north, west, all north, down, and all north. At the end of all north, you will need a rogue to pick west. After picking this door, head north again until you see a closed up, which you can bashdoor open. Heading up should put you into the jail. From here, head due east as much as possible (you will need to take a north once during the east, I believe) [e,n,pick e,e], until you reached another locked door. Pick this, then head east again. This should take you to a North/South fork; you will want to head one south then all east until you reached a locked door that can't be picked or bashed. The key to unlock this is the Iron Key, and is found on the dark Fae jailor nearby. If it's not directly in this room, head back west, south, and scan for a torturer. Once you get the key, unlock east and head east, taking the first north you can. Heading all north from this passage will lead you to an up which you can bashdoor to access the Arena.

Once you're in the arena Duke Malafont is trackable. To get there head as far north as you can, and when you can't go north, go east. Right outside of his room seemed relatively safe for napping. Make sure you kill any beastmasters on scan before you try to nap. The Rampaging Mastador can be skinned for Rough-Hewn Belt Of Thick, Hairy Hide. These mobs have the annoying tendency to stay one room away from you and longshot. Note that Duke Malafont and the rest of his room are reboot only.

Keeping company with Duke Malafont is Paehandra Of The Moon. While she no longer casts Martyrdom, she will still intervention and heal the other mobs, so it's a good idea to target her first.

While you're on the arena floor you can check if Yorimandil The Blind is home. I'm pretty sure he splits his time between this area and the "iron walkways" portion of Under The Stars.

If you kill all the mobs in the area, then you can obtain the Shield Of Shadows. The message will look like:

  As the last enemy falls, tiny shadows gather from each corpse.
  Slowly they pull to your location, building into a swirling vortex
  of shadows. This is the prize of the Champion of the Obsidian Arena.
