It gives the player a clone for purposes such as scouting without risk and creating a diversion. His ability to clone himself through magic offers opportunities to disrupt the traditional stealth gaming formula. Styx has arcane abilities that assist him in his escapades, including the ability to make himself invisible (also featured in Of Orcs and Men), and the ability to use amber-vision to detect hidden foes and areas. Styx: Master of Shadows is a stealth game where the player must keep to the shadows to survive.
One clone, perhaps Clone-Styx, emerges from the ruins with his memories gone but with his intellect intact and the awareness that somehow his name is "Styx". As the World Tree dies, the magic that kept Akenash aloft fails and the tower crashes to the ground. Hordes of goblins, all imperfect clones of Styx, emerge from the amber and tear Original-Styx apart. Clone-Styx destroys the Heart, then commits suicide by leaping into the pool of amber at the base of the tree. With the help of an elf, Clone-Styx breaks the telepathic control that Original-Styx has on him, then chases Original-Styx to the Heart of the World Tree. Furious, Clone-Styx swears to destroy Original-Styx and make a new life for himself. The original Styx still considers this clone to be a disposable tool like all the others.

Usually these clones are stupid thralls, but when Styx infiltrated Akenash he created a clone with an exceptionally high degree of free will and ability so that it could accomplish more difficult tasks without guidance, such as rescuing Styx if he were captured. One of the gifts that the amber gave Styx was the ability to spawn clones of himself. The protagonist up to this point has in fact been a clone of the real Styx, who has been held in an interrogation chamber all this time. When he finally liberates his "friend", he discovers that it is a goblin identical to himself.
Styx desires to reach the heart of the World-Tree and rescue an imprisoned friend elsewhere in the fortress, but he doesn't know why he wants to do these things: He suffers from confused memories and a voice in his head that prods him on. Styx infiltrates the Tower of Akenash, a massive flying fortress held aloft by the magic of the World Tree, around which the fortress was built. The game is a prequel, and the second video game to take place in the world established by 2012's Of Orcs and Men. Styx: Master of Shadows is a stealth video game developed by Cyanide Studios for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
