Right click to teleport to a specific location without consuming the user's sanity. It only consumes durability when used as a weapon. After each teleportation, it adds 5 bonus damage and stops the movement of locomotor creatures around the teleportation location. The maximum bonus damage is 432, it is a shadow weapon, therefore Shadow Charlie can enhance its basic damage and bonus damage. The weapon's bonus damage is real damage that ignores armor. After reaching the maximum bonus damage limit, there is a 50% chance of spawning a Pure Horror for each teleportation. When the Night Lazy Explorer is unequipped, its bonus damage becomes zero. +50% speed.
*** Void Repair Kit (Pure Horror × 1, Dark Tatters × 1), can perfectly repair shadow items.
* After surviving for a period of time (5 days), Charlie will discover Unanswered Throne somewhere on the map, sleeping on the throne (Charlie in Shadow form cannot perform this operation), will consume 50 sanity to exchange for 225 health and 150 hunger, and will not skip time. At the same time, the throne will generate some hostile Flower of Shadow around. The throne turns white during this process and requires the use of Nightmare Fuel or Pure Horror to blacken it out. Every time the throne turns white during sleep or when the full moon arrives, there is a very small chance (5%) of generating a circle of Nightmare Fuel around it.
* Flower of Shadow has a 1.25-second attack interval, 34 damage, 100 health, and does not attack Shadow Charlie. Has a 1% chance of dropping 1 Nightmare Fuel on death. After all the Shadow Flowers are defeated, the Shadow Throne moves to a random location on the map.

** Super Telelocator Staff: 1000 durability, costs 1 point each time used as a weapon or teleportation target. 68 damage, belonging to Shadow Items, so Shadow Charlie has an additional bonus when attacking.

* The Shadow Queen appears after completing the destruction of the Throne, giving her a Pure Horror to converse with. After the conversation ends, the Shadow Queen will give a Rainbow Sword, and will then initiate the periodic generation of Shadow Rifts.
* Charlie's exclusive weapon - Rainbow Sword, an irreplaceable weapon with infinite durability, 68 damage. When equipped, it emits a colorful rainbow light, can restore the attacker's own sanity and health points based on the target's health and damage when attacking. There is also a very small chance (1%) of generating one of the six kinds of gems at the target during the attack.
* The Shadow Rift will appear upon completing the Shadow Queen's mission, with three stages, when generating and advancing to the next stage, it will cause damage to creatures and destroy buildings. Each stage requires 4-5 days of waiting. After 15 days, the shadow fissure disappears, and after another 5 days, a new Rift will be generated at a random location. Shadow Rift gushes out fuel every once in a while, with an 99% chance of being Nightmare Fuel and a 1% chance of being Pure Horror.

** Buttercup from Plants vs. Zombies 2 has 900 health and 100 damage, and does not actively attack. When attacked by a creature, it will counterattack, throwing butter projectile, dealing area damage and providing stun effects for 8 seconds. It also leaves a puddle of butter on the ground, and any creature that touches it will be damaged and stunned for a period of time. Butter puddle will automatically disappear after 120 seconds. When the number of Buttercups on the entire map reaches 30, stop spawning more Buttercups. Buttercup can be given Plant Food, throwing butter on each effective target within the area around it (when given Plant Food, Buttercup recovers to full health and is briefly invincible), dealing higher damage (150) and longer stun time (12 seconds), leaving a more powerful butter puddle.
