Day 8: Glowcaps in the Mist
Day 8, “Glowcaps in the Mist”, is the 2nd day in Whisperwood. It happens at morning with fog weather, and 31 enemies march in over 4 waves. The battle lasts about 2:05 on Normal.
Captain Bramble says: “Madame Hoot moved into the Oracle Tower! Watch out for Mushroom Shamans.”
Foggy! We can't see far. Watch closely.
What it looks like
Pale mint fog banks between the trunks, cut by sun shafts. Far enemies are soft grey shapes, except the shamans, whose caps glow through the mist.
Weather: Fog
Enemies beyond 55% of the field show only as silhouettes with no HP bar, until they come closer or step into torch, Lighthouse, or fire light. Gloom Wisp and Mushroom Shaman glow through fog. Flyers are above it and always visible. Soft debut: the silhouette line starts at 70% of the field, not 55%.
Foggy! We can't see far. Watch closely.
What's new today
Mushroom Shaman, a healer that stays at the back (it glows in the fog, so it's easy to find).
First appearance: Mushroom Shaman.
