Pandemonium, the seventh level of Shadowlands, has been a closely guarded secret as Funcom vowed to show no photos or release any information regarding the level until the first players reached this milestone. Pandemonium is an extremely high level area and passage will only be granted after a hazardous journey through underwater challenges, poisonous fog, hell frozen over and unbearable heat. The game has been called one of the most difficult games in the MMOG genre. Each level is progressively more challenging with Pandemonium representing the toughest of the tough.
