How to Get Shadow Nue and Master Ten Shadows in Jujutsu: Zero

How to Obtain the Ten Shadows Cursed Technique

In Jujutsu: Zero on Roblox, the Ten Shadows technique is widely considered one of the most powerful disaster-grade abilities. Because it allows players to summon a variety of Shikigami to overwhelm opponents, it is a highly sought-after skill.

The primary method to acquire Ten Shadows is through the game's gacha system. You need to spend Cursed Crystals on the special event banners that feature disaster-grade techniques. Since the pool of techniques is large, the drop rate for a specific one can be quite low.

Tip

Always keep an eye on the current banner rotation. We strongly advise saving your Cursed Crystals until Ten Shadows is featured with boosted pull rates to maximize your chances of success.

Accessing Shadow Island

Once you have unlocked the technique, your journey toward mastery begins at Shadow Island. This area is not accessible through standard travel. Attempting to "cheese" your way in via dashing is discouraged, as invisible walls are placed around the main map to prevent unauthorized entry.

1. Acquire a Ten Shadows Ticket (formerly known as the "??? Ticket"). These can be earned as drops from the Megumi Raid, purchased from the Siege Shop for 7,500 Siege Tokens, or occasionally found during specific events.
2. Locate the Shadow Island NPC, who stands near the Jujutsu Trials NPC in the initial safe zone.
3. Interact with the NPC while holding the ticket to teleport directly to the island.

Completing Megumi’s Quest Chain

Before you can effectively farm upgrades, you must prove your worth by completing the quest chain provided by Megumi. You can find him marked by a red scroll icon on your map near a teleport point.

• Shatter the Pillars: At level 4,500, you must track down and destroy three Shadow Pillars. While these are not aggressive, they act as damage sponges and require time to destroy.
• Gathering Essence: You will be tasked with collecting six Shadow Essence items. These are scattered across the map and clearly marked, making this a straightforward navigation task.

Completing these tasks provides the Shadow Essence required to summon mini-bosses, which is essential for upgrading your Shikigami.

Upgrading Your Shikigami: Nue and Beyond

Mastering Ten Shadows involves a significant grind. Each Shikigami, including Nue, requires specific tags that can only be obtained by defeating their respective mini-bosses on Shadow Island.

Farming Mini-Bosses

If you prefer to play solo or wait for respawns, you can hunt the bosses roaming the island. Note that each boss drops its own specific tag:

• Bunny: 3-minute respawn
• Shiro: 10-minute respawn
• Kuro: 10-minute respawn
• Nue: 20-minute respawn
• Mahoraga: 30-minute respawn

Using the Shikigami Altar

For players who want to speed up the process or farm rare materials like Sharp Talons and Wheel Fragments, the Shikigami Altar is the superior choice. Located on the cliff northwest of Megumi, this stone arena features six pedestals.

1. Approach the pedestals with a blue slab.
2. Interact with each to insert your gathered Shadow Essence.
3. Once all six pedestals are filled, a raid-version mini-boss will spawn in the center.

Community reports suggest that these raid versions are significantly tougher than their roaming counterparts. Ensure you deal enough damage during the encounter to qualify for loot, especially if you are fighting alongside other players.

Finalizing Your Mastery

Once you have gathered the necessary materials, you must navigate to your Ten Shadows Mastery tree to upgrade each Shikigami node. Be aware that the progression system requires more than just boss tags.

Warning

To fully unlock the final node for any Shikigami, you will need extra duplicates of the Ten Shadows technique. Plan your spending accordingly if you are aiming for peak performance.

FAQ

Can I access Shadow Island without a ticket?

No. While some players have attempted to bypass the invisible walls, these methods are effectively patched. Using a Ten Shadows Ticket is the only reliable way to enter.

Why isn't my boss kill dropping the right tag?

Ensure you are killing the correct boss. Each boss specifically drops its own tag (e.g., Nue drops the Nue Tag). If you are looking for rare materials like Sharp Talons, you must utilize the Shikigami Altar to spawn the raid version of the boss.

Do I need duplicates for every upgrade?

No, duplicates are primarily required for the final node of each Shikigami's mastery tree. Early upgrades only require materials farmed from mini-bosses.
