"Do not walk softly into the jaws of the dragon, do not accept the loathsome embrace of the beast at the heart of the horror.
But, instead, discover that fearsome face - teeth bared, eyes aspark with ice-cold hate, sinews braced for the fall.
And yet I feel the beast does not await me at the maze's dark core.
I am on the edge of knowing and yet I am afraid that the knowledge will cause me to walk, a willing sacrifice, into the jaws of the dragon."
-Shadow Man entering The Fogometers.
The last of The Asylum levels Shadow Man will encounter in the game. This time you are underneath the Asylum and the atmosphere is very dimly lit, it is implied to use the Flambeau to light the way. Most of the walls and floor look like The Deadside then gradually morphs into the black bricks and architecture of The Asylum. The celing is full of metal pipes and bones fused into the rock. Because of this blend of setting the enemies are blended also for the first time including the Zombies, Hookman, Sniper Guard Hookman, Surgeons and the Trueforms. Everything still remains a mystery to the player and Shadow Man other than he is getting very close to the darkest conclusion "I am on the edge of knowing....".
In Dream cast, Nintendo 64, Playstation 1 and original pc release. The location goes by The name The undercity but was changed to the Fogometers in the Remastered release
When Shadow Man Remastered came to consoles in January 2022, the Level 10 Coffin Gate was added in along with the new Light Soul, which requires all of the cadeaux to be collected. This is later added in Patch 1.4.

Tips[]
- In the area with metal pipes that Shadow Man runs on after jumping up several ledges there is one lonely bone-like 'C' shaped pipe sticking out of the ceiling. If you successfully jump to it you will gain another 'Cheat Activated' code ("Play as Duppie" in the N64 version).
