Asyn Shades lurk behind the black door in the Shade Catacombs in Mort'ton. They initially appear as dark bluish moving shadows, known as Asyn Shadows, on the ground and then rise from the depths to attack or retaliate. Their remains can be cremated with eucalyptus, yew, or magic pyre logs. The salve amulet and salve amulet (e) work well on this shade which is very useful if shades are assigned for a Slayer assignment.

The player needs at least a black key, which can be obtained from burning Riyl remains, to gain access to the Asyn shades. Level 63 Firemaking is needed to cremate Asyn remains and get the silver key to get access to the Fiyr Shades.
