MC: Hallucination

This article's content may be outdated. Please confirm that it is correct and adjust the version number on the article.

The Hallucination is an optional "dungeon" that the party is sent to when the magico Bane of Sanity blasts the party with Mindtwisting Spores. Packed with bizarre enemies, a nonsensical layout, and a looping map, it easily qualifies as one of the most unique areas in the game.

Layout

Entering the Dungeon

You cannot enter the Hallucination until you've been sent there by the magico Bane of Sanity. Please see the Temporary Prison article for instructions on doing so.

Navigating Madness

After "losing" to Bane of Sanity, the party will find itself trapped in a shared hallucination of twisted platforms floating in the sky, packed with random and absurd enemies. The terrain here is a mishmash of random tiles, and the map loops on all sides, making it very difficult to keep track of where you've been or where you're heading. It's entirely possible to simply wander randomly until you find your way out, but there is a system to this place; following these instructions will let you find everything of importance in the dungeon while taking the shortest path.

Wendy - From the starting position, go left, left, right, and down to meet with Wendy. Speaking with her grants Eric the hidden Wendy's Help status effect, making them immune to mental status effects while in this dungeon.

Romantic Incinerator - Natalie can receive a new fire whip while here. From Wendy, go right, right again, and then take the top path to find a tower of flame. Investigate it to acquire the Romantic Incinerator, a significant upgrade over Pure Love's Lace.

The Magico, Bane of Sanity - If you're done fighting butts and bears and sexy tomatoes, it's time to fight the boss. From the tower of flame, go right, up, left, left, and down to reach the magico's hiding place. See the Bane of Sanity page for details on fighting it.
