How do you escape the Shadow Realm?

[Hellcie]

I'm not particularly unobservant, but the way out of the shadow realm seems to elude me- I've ran around the entire island, found a door, etc, but the door will not react to, gunshots, to the use key, using it with or without a gun out, anything. No matter what I do, I eventually wind up getting my health whittled down to nil, and dying, losing whatever I had in the mission. This is the only major trouble I've had with the game (still working on killing my first geist, love it all insofar!)

The only way to escape that I know of is to kill all 4 Shadow Beasts.

This will be very hard if you have just started and therefore just let them kill you to go back to your safehouse - minus some xp and loot.

Later, when you get better equipped with Flame rounds, etc you will kill them np.

Thanks for the post, there's a rare bug where you can never leave the shadow dimension.
It has something to do with what @Old man Stu mentioned, e.g. if you only killed 3 shadowbeasts and the other ones disappeared.

happened to me too, i think one shadow beast merged with the other one since they were running together

Oh, ok. I just have to always be carrying UV rounds when in a new mission then, gotcha!
(I didn't realize you had to kill the shadowbeasts.)

You dont need special ammo to kill the shadowbeats, the first shotgun with regular ammo will do just fine.
