Dark crypt

[Satoshi Nakamoto]

I killed a boss there, there's another, Doomed Shadow of myself.
Problem is I can't kill it, it goes at best to 90% and then quickly to 100%, it's amazing how strong he is, I'm strong too so I can't die and he can't die.
Rod of recall isn't working, so I'm stuck.
Is there any way to get out of this except killing him (that's impossible btw) ?

RoR is supposed to work in the Crypt, actually o.o'. You won't be able to return, no, but..?

Are you sure you waited out enough time for the RoR to activate?

[Satoshi Nakamoto]

It just doesn't work normal, as usual.
There's a message when it's clicked "ror emits a noise and then returns to normal."
And that's it.
Actually I just took a picture.

Isn't the Dark Crypt where you try to save Melinda?

If so then you should be able to run up the stairs.

EDIT: Saw from the screenshot that it's the Shadow Crypt.

In that case you're boned. You have to find a way to kill your doppleganger down there. On the bright side if you win you unlock a new class.

On the map when you hover over the zone before you enter it, it says Dark Crypt.
When you enter it's a Shadow Crypt.
It's in the Var'Eyal continent.

I killed him before, but first time I'm playing antimagic character, for some reason I just can't do it, not even close, nothing affects him, I was beating him for half an hour, I can't go down either, I guess I could die easily if I turn off some sustains and wear off items, but I play roguelike and i didn't get 'blood of life', so 1 life only.

Too bad, I really wanted to bring this one to the end, I enjoyed it.
Yeah I can start over and skip this zone next time but that's not gonna happen soon.

Ah well....

If you click RoR twice it *resets* and cancels itself, giving the message you see (letting you cancel accidental activations). Simply wait until it reactivates (the red area on the icon disappears) before trying again and it should work fine.

[Satoshi Nakamoto]

It worked, took 3 recharges though, really weird.
Anyway, all's good now, thanks!!

RoR isn't supposed to work in shadow crypt once the cultist that summons the shadow clone is dead.
Oh well, glad you could get out at least

[Satoshi Nakamoto]

Oh I see now, well now it's more clear.
I didn't double click on RoR, like Bozobub thought I did, it was a normal single click which produced that message, I didn't even know that you can double click it, anyway.... god only knows what I did to make it work, I did some double clicking too :) at some point it started to recharge, giving me turns left until it will work, had to recharge 3 times before I was actually able to get out of there.
Really weird, it was hard to explain but yeah, happy that I was able to make it work.

btw regarding the title of this thread and the confusion about this zone...

Took a screenshot, it didn't capture a mouse cursor but it's the only visible zone, you can see on the bottom right that it says "Entrance to a dark crypt"
That's why I called it "Dark crypt", I don't know if this is a bug or what but that's how it is.

Not a bug, it's called a dark crypt on the map but "Shadow Crypt" once you get inside. The Crypt of Kryl'Feijan, meanwhile, is called the "Dark Crypt" on the inside. They are normally referred to as the Shadow Crypt and the Dark Crypt, respectively.
