In The Blood of Dawnwalker, even as a vampire (at night), Coen can take lethal fall damage. Shadowstep has a useful hidden property that lets you cancel fall damage.
Method
- Jump or fall from a height.
- Just before you hit the ground, activate Shadowstep (aim it toward a flat surface).
- If timed correctly, you will teleport/land safely with no fall damage.
Controls
- PC: Hold E and aim, then release (or tap depending on your binding).
- PlayStation: Hold R2.
- Xbox: Hold RT.
Important Tips
- You must aim Shadowstep at a flat surface (a normal floor works fine). Bumpy or steeply slanted rocks often fail.
- This only works at night while you are in vampire form (Shadowstep is unavailable during the day).
- It is especially useful when you don’t want to climb down carefully or when you misjudge a Clawride/wall-run landing.
- Shadowstep consumes stamina, so manage it if you plan to use it repeatedly for traversal.
This is one of the most practical “safety net” uses of Shadowstep besides regular teleporting and wall-walking (Planeshift).
