First things first, the majority of the guides using cheese strategies have been patched out. The only way now is to win legitimately. I'll give you a breakdown of ideal spells, items and a location (so other annoying umbral mobs won't spawn) to use.
Other than the achievement and extra umbral scourings you get for a first kill only there is no other reason to attempt this fight until the end game. If you are using an OP build and very good at dodging/blocking you could pull this off mid-game. However the Scarlet Shadows HP pool is massive. It will take several minutes to wear it down if you attempt it. Do yourself a favor and attempt this end game. I personally killed him around level 115.
Tips
- Scarlet Shadow only appears when your umbral multiplier maxes out at x3.00. Takes a few minutes.
- If you go near a vestige or flowerbed he will heal to FULL health
- Cannot use your Sanguinarix to heal. Other options are Brio Stones, Health Regen ring, any rune that gives health back/regen, healing spells/items (see blow)
- The biggest challenge is the overwhelming spawning of other enemies. There are some safe spots you can find usually on stairs/in buildings. I'll list the one I used below.
- It attacks with physical and wither, and it resists all elements and statuses but is weak to physical damage.
- Its attacks are essentially the same as a Bringer of Stillness, just hits harder and has more HP. Can practice fighting them first to learn patterns
- When he goes underground you have a second or two to use a spell/item.
- By now you should have the Crafters Essence from completing Gerlindes questline. Equip to any heavy shield (I used Shield of Whispers). Heavy shields deflect all his attacks then you can just hit him back once or twice to regain health. Rinse and repeat till he is dead.
- Max physical defense and wither regan %/HP from umbral eyes.
Useful Spells/Items
- Odd Stone (Very OP once per life consumable, massively increases physical/holy defense till you die)
- Latimer's Javelin (Use after a dodge when he pops out the ground/shadow)
- Aura of Tenacity (with a mana regen ring + 1 mana regen rune you can have this up almost the whole fight)
- Any Radiance Healing Spell
- Any AOE spell that will do damage over time as you fight.
- Unripe Berries (Faster Stamina regen)
- Banner/Enhanced Banner Javelin of Protection (Place in the ground and stay near)
Full Strategy (one of many you can do)
- Go to the Windmill Vestige (Marco of the Axe). Go into Umbral and look towards the large bell door. On the left side you’ll see an opening, pull the platform out and drop down to the bottom. Then climb up the ladder on the far side. You will be on this small wooden platform. Do not drop down the other side. (This is one of many areas you can find where mobs do not spawn in)
- As mentioned above, use a heavy shield with the crafters essence rune. Heavy shield will block all his attacks. You can also try to time your dodges if dual wielding but that is more difficult
- Equip umbral eyes that increase wither health gain on hit (Eye of Rosamund and Eye of Bloody Pilgrim)
- When he pops out his shadow dodge and hit him once or twice. Then hold block when he attacks you again (usually in a 3 combo). Be careful of his spinning attack. That hurts more. Then hit him again once or twice. Rinse and repeat. It is a very tight space so make sure you lock onto him after you dodge his shadow attack otherwise you will not block properly. Took me about 3 minutes to kill him.
There are other areas I have yet to find. Feel free to post below any other areas that stop spawning of other mobs.

PST, Staff
The longer you stay in Umbral, the more you risk running into this fellow. The Scarlet Shadow will hunt you down and try to kill you. Your aura will start to glow red when he is on your case, and from that point a showdown is imminent. If you kill the Scarlet Shadow, you will unlock this trophy, and you will also collect the Umbral Eye of Marco the Axe. Neat!

This is a mob that begins to pursue in the astral world when the eye lights up red.
You cannot heal in his presence, but there is a radiant invigorating aura that regenerates hp while there is mana.
We wait for x2 on the counter, use the aura. Then we stand still so that he gets out, do a roll, hit, and so on until victory. If the attack hits, the aura will heal.

In the video guide (en) there is a place where mobs do not spam. And you can focus on red.
Bramis Castle - Vestige of the Bloody Pilgrim
We block, we hit. Once we’ve finished off, we collect the goodies and re-enter the game.
And immediately a new fight with red and new goodies after the victory.

There is a much simpler and faster way. You need to return to the small room with 2 stairs at the beginning of the game, which led to the location to the first boss and to the hub itself. You can still get into it through a shortcut (if you already have a key to open the door) in the hub itself; to do this, exit through the door on the top tier in the hub room with an altar, where you can donate coins. There, stand in the center of the room and wait for the red reaper to appear. As soon as he appeared and began to attack you, run and climb the longest ladder and stand on that platform. Reaper will not be able to follow you and will start jumping up the stairs, trying to get up. At some point he will be on your level, but not move at all, then you can simply kill him.
