General Info and Trivia

The Bottomless Grave is the first Shadow weapon most hunters should aim for these days. Shadow has been a key component of early-game gold farming for a long time, and to this day the Bottomless Grave is a key component to properly using how powerful the Mousoleum is. In the past, the Bottomless Grave was significantly less desirable because it had a significantly higher cost. A major drop in price, combined with a buff to the Mousoleum in its 2018 rework, managed to change this and fundamentally reshape the earlier section of the Shadow power type.

Alternatives

The Creepy Coffin Trap is an alternative to the Bottomless Grave. While being similar in stats and only accessible through either the Marketplace or the Premium Shoppe, it has an area-specific effect in the Mousoleum that can make up for this downside depending on the resources you have available.

Upgrades

After the Bottomless Grave, there are a number of potential weapons to go for. Shadow is in a bit of an awkward spot because it is quite underused or avoidable for a sizeable chunk of the game. The go-to upgrade after the Bottomless Grave is often the Interdimensional Crossbow Trap. An in-between weapon that can be considered is the Clockapult of Time. This upgrade is considered optional because its use is quite minor: the only places it would be used are a low number of hunts in the Jungle of Dread, and in the Seasonal Garden to acquire a map piece. The next expected use would be in Fort Rox, however the Arcane ACRONYM beats it in catch rate here. Because of this, the Clockapult is considered unnecessary.
