After getting a clue to the password of the dungeon Shade and Ezekiel split into two separate dungeon instances to try to get through the possible passwords more quickly.
Ezekiel would continue through the set he was checking and Shade would begin on another set.
If one of them happened to find the next rune then they would wait outside of the dungeon for the other to arrive.
Since Ezekiel had started the set of runes he had already been checking it meant he would complete it before Shade would finish his own.
Since he was solo now he would be getting more experience than before which was helpful but at the same time he focused on the password.
After a few more runs through the dungeon he had pressed the twenty fifth rune in the set he chose which still killed him meaning he had no idea which of the other two sets were the right one.
When he saw the dungeon entrance again he also saw Shade waiting with Hope and War God.
