Underworld (also known as Raids) is the multiplayer mode of Shadow Fight 2. It features online raid-style battles which allow players to team up together with other players to defeat the bosses. The bosses, called the Eternals, are powerful beings that have lived for thousands of years and they started their aim to destroy the world after the Gates of Shadows are opened. Playing Underworld is completely optional. Players can enter it anytime after they defeat Needle, Lynx's third bodyguard.
Nickname
Players can enter the Underworld by tapping the icon on the bottom right of the map.
The first time a player enters the Underworld, they will be prompted to enter a nickname. Only Latin letters and numbers can be used, within a 3-10 character frame (no spaces). Once a player confirms their nickname, it cannot be changed.
Player's Info
Players can check information about other players by clicking on their raid nickname. This will bring up a screen showing all the information of a player. Players can also do this to themselves.
The top bar displays the player's username, and the clan they are in (if they join any). If a player manages to stay in the Top 100 Leaderboard until the previous season's end, a banner will appear next to their nickname. Silver banner for 100th-11th places, and gold banner for 10th-1st places.
At the left side is the player's character. Their equipped weapons, armor, and helm will be displayed. On the right side is an interface showing the player's general stats.
- Best rating per season: Best rating per season since user was created.
- Average damage per round: Average damage inflicted by the player in raid fights for the last 10 rounds.
- Total raids: Total number of raids played.
- Victorious raids: Total number of raids won.
- Weakest link: Total number of raids where a player inflicted too little damage and played one fight or less.
- First places in raids: Total number of raids where a player took the first place.
- In-game presence: The last presence of a player in the game.
At the bottom bar, players can tap the gate icon to check the obtained medals, given for being in Top 100.
Gameplay
Each boss has a shield and the players must destroy it within a given time frame before they can finish the boss. After all the shield is destroyed, players can finish the boss in a final one-on-one battle. If they lose the final fight, they can repeat it until they win. Each raid fight consists of one round, lasting 45 seconds. Players can buy or obtain several items like Charges of Darkness and Elixirs to aid them to deal additional damage or survive longer. There are certain things that make the raid fights differ from other fights:
- The level and stats of all equipment (regardless of low or high) does not affect raids.
- No perks work in raids, except for Enlightenment.
- Any feats done in raids will not be counted towards Achievements.
- Underworld bosses are more aggressive and smarter than other enemies.
- They are immune to the Stun enchantment.
- All of them wield Gem Weapons if Karcer and Drakaina are not counted (who use unavailable weapons).

Daily Quests
Daily Quest requires the players to complete an additional task or goal when playing raids. Completing it will reward the players with rating points and some charges or keys. Players can access the Daily Quest tab by tapping the torch icon on top part of the screen. Once a day, players can replace a task by pressing the replace button at the bottom right of the quest tab.
Rewards
The main goal in playing Underworld is scoring as much rating points as possible in a season, which lasts for 3 days (ends at 02:00 UTC). Player will receive rewards at the end of a season. The rewards depend on the players' score and position at the League leader-board. The rewards are a supply of small and medium charges, raid keys, and a small amount of gems. Players at the 1st-5th places also have a chance to get a random item from the Monk's Set. The Monk items obtained this way will only be enchanted with Tempest Rage (no Simple enchantment).
Defeating all raid-bosses and completing the Underworld story will reward the player with a unique helm, which comes with Typhoon of Spirit mythical enchantment or with Tempest Rage enchantment.
Dan
Dan is a level-like system for the Underworld. All players start with Dan 1. By accumulating enough rating points, they will receive a Dan promotion at the end of the season, along with additional rewards.
Higher Dan allows players to fight bosses with Dan requirements. The highest Dan is 10.
Clan
Players can join a clan or create their own clan in Underworld. Being in clan will give player the advantages to fight bosses together with their clan members. It also provides a better chance to gather players during match-up.
Tips
- Using other weapons may allow the player to perform better in raids.
- Obtaining Ranged Weapon and Magic can increase the player's performance. Ranged weapon is unlocked after defeating Lynx, and Magic is unlocked after defeating Hermit.
- Enchantments can increase the player's performance. Players can enchant their equipment with Shadow Orbs that can be won from eclipse mode, or they can use pre-enchanted equipment such as the Monk's set, boss weapons, special event weapons, and gem-purchased equipment.
- Charges can help players in dealing damage. They do more damage than regular Magic.
- Collecting the Monk's Set will unlock the Mythical enchantment Tempest Rage. Monk's Set and Tempest Rage can increase the player's performance greatly.
Chat
The players can use chat to communicate with other members of their clan. When in raid, there will be two different tabs for chat. The first tab is to chat with the clan, while the second tab is to chat with the players in that raid.
The chat has rules and all players are expected to follow the rules.
Chat Rules
This chat is intended for player communication during raids. By pressing "I AGREE" you vow not to use profanities in the chat, or insult other players. Moreover, you agree not to make any comments disparaging other chat participants on the basis of gender, race, ethnicity, language, background, religion, or affiliation with any social group. You also vow to play fairly and not interfere in the game's programming code. Violation of these rules may result in the game's administration stripping you of the right to communicate in the chat and/or take part in raids.

Trivia
- If the first two (or more) players in a raid deal exactly the same amount of damage at the end of the raid and if they win, they will get the first place reward.
- According to October 6, 2023 Shadow Fight 2 Q&A by the developers, the 3rd tier was initially planned to be the final part of Underworld story and the Underworld story even ended quite logically in the 3rd tier but later on, the developers found an interesting concept for continuing the story, hence the 4th tier.
