There's a branch in the abandoned monastery caves where you climb some ledges and past some jail bars you will find a much more difficult group of shadow guards, but there are at least 20 in that branch just be prepared for a higher challenge. The trash loot drops are worth 15,000 if that helps narrow down your in the right spot and to gauge the difficulty. https://imgur.com/a/Cqexna7
Also it should be noted, the knowledge tracking only works on these higher difficulty variety and I was able to get S within 5 minutes with full buffs, pets, and some event knowledge items.
