The master of shadows is soloable for an archon and in NPK. It's possible to tag-team him but he will unform you semi regularly. Once he is almost dead you can calm and form to get all in for the boss kill.
He throws bombs, flashes, etc so web helps. Nothing else super special I think. Just calm or flee and respell heal when you need, he isn't aggro.
Don't flee west or you need to exit shadow castle and go around again to get back.
