Hallucination Enemies[edit]

The hallucination enemies are clearly the odd one out, being the only hallucination that is interactive and capable of directly harming the player, and also the only one visible to other players. This makes me very suspicious...

  • Are we sure that the hallucination enemies are caused by the toxic pollen? So far I've only noticed them during the toxic offshoot events and my initial impression was that they were just part of the normal spawns that defend the offshoots.
  • If they are caused by the pollen, are we sure that other players can see them?
  • If they are spawned for every player affected by toxic pollen and visible to all players, how come the toxic offshoot events with 30 players still only seem to spawn 1 group at a time?

Not sure about it, and I intend to keep observing it more. Maybe it was stupid to put that in there when I wasn't sure.. But sometimes when I tried to track these hallucinations, when there was supposed to spawn one of the harmless hallucinations, the hostile spider or ettin hallucination spawned instead. I'll try to find an offshoot event with no one doing it and see if there's hostile hallucinations. If there is, my previous observations are wrong. Rakuin (talk) 17:24, 2 November 2013 (UTC)
Okay, now I'm absolutely positive that the toxic pollen is the cause to the hostile hallucinations. I went to the Clear Toxic Alliance forces from Eukaryan Caves event, there's Toxic Stalks that cause toxic pollen, and there was no one else near. No hostile hallucinations. Then I got the toxic pollen effect and they started appearing. Rakuin (talk) 17:54, 2 November 2013 (UTC)
More data. There was different combinations of the hallucination waves, here's few I got this time, not in order:
  • Spiders (most common for me)
  • Wurm
  • Sounds and wobble
  • 3 small hostile spiders
  • Big hostile spider
  • Wurm and hostile ettin
  • Big hostile spider and ettin
No bird this time. Hm. There is tiny puff of black smoke every time the sounds happen, it might be grasping arm or something but haven't quite catched it. Oh, and I don't know much about damage things but this ticks 62 for me. Rakuin (talk) 18:08, 2 November 2013 (UTC)
Todays daily proves I'm right. Toxic Hallucination Slayer: Kill 20 hallucinations triggered by toxic pollen. Rakuin (talk) 22:29, 3 November 2013 (UTC)
