Step 1: Purchase All Maps from Shakra & Complete His Quest
To unlock the Shakra secret boss, start by purchasing every map from Shakra in the game. After collecting them all, she will offer you a quest called Trail’s End. Accept and complete this quest to move forward.
Step 2: Ring the Bell at Greymoor Entrance in Act 2
After completing Shakra’s quest, make your way to the Greymoor. Here, you’ll find a bell that can only be used during Act 2 of the game. Refer to the location of the bell below.
Ringing this bell will trigger a special interaction with Shakra, where he will challenge you to a duel. Accept the challenge, and you’ll unlock the secret boss fight.
Step 3: No Fight is available in Act 3
If you miss your chance in Act 2, you won’t be able to battle Shakra later. In Act 3, the duel option is gone, replaced with a completely different interaction.
