Will-o’-the-Wisp Encounters

9-M87VwWd3I

Some souls never find peace.

Will-o’-the-Wisp adds mysterious supernatural lights to the forests of Trosecko. Between midnight and 3:00 AM, wandering

spirits may appear near the player and guide them toward forgotten places, or into danger.

Follow them carefully. Not every spirit has good intentions.

Guiding Wisps

Blue, purple and green wisps are benevolent spirits. When approached, they begin guiding the player toward a nearby

forest grave or hidden treasure.

Red wisps are dangerous. Instead of treasure, they may lead the player toward a bandit or Cuman camp.

A guiding wisp appears approximately 72 metres from the player and starts moving toward its destination once the

player comes within 50 metres. It waits if the player falls behind and gradually fades when approached within 5

After a guiding encounter is completed, another guiding wisp will not appear until the following in-game day.

If a newly spawned wisp never enters the player’s field of view, it disappears after 16 seconds and attempts to spawn

again a few seconds later. This prevents encounters from being wasted because the spirit appeared behind the player or

behind an obstacle.

Dancing Wisp Groups

Rarely, the player may encounter two, three or four wisps dancing together in the forest.

Each wisp receives a random existing colour and moves independently around the group. These encounters are purely

atmospheric and do not guide the player anywhere.

The group continuously follows the terrain beneath it and spawns only in a checked open area. When the player

approaches within 30 metres, all members gradually fade away.

A natural dancing group can appear at most once per in-game day.

Guiding wisps use custom terrain-aware movement. They inspect the route ahead, avoid static obstacles such as rocks

and trees, follow steep terrain and search for alternative routes when
