- Mini-Event description

* Mini-Event descriptions vary event to event.

This mini-event starts at the same time for all players (8am UTC) and usually lasts for 48 hours. This mini-event has occurred in both the Main City and the Upper City.

NOTICE: This page describes how this mini-event works now. See Old Monstrology Mini-Event for a description of how it used to work **prior** to the Thousand-Legged Beast event of September 2022.

## Overview

When the mini-event starts, one of the city Characters will ask for your help in collecting something. The thing they want help with could be Easter eggs, visiting cards, phantoms, demons, or anything else. In order to collect these things, you will have to search specially marked Locations.

Various locations will have a ghostly colored swirling cloud above them (the colors change from event to event). This means that the location has the thing you are trying to collect. Up to 5 locations may have the swirling cloud. You will have to search all 5 locations before you are given a new set of locations to search. Often the game will repeat locations in the set it gives you.

As you collect these special "things", you will be placed into a random group of 30 players. At the end of the mini-event, whoever ends up first among the 30 players wins a major prize.

**For the purposes of the remainder of this description, we will assume you have been asked to collect "phantoms". But, remember, it does not matter what thing you are collecting.**
## Gameplay

You will search the location for the regular hidden items in a specific way. To collect a phantom, you will need to find the **HIGHLIGHTED** regular hidden item. After you find the first highlighted hidden item, a new hidden item will become highlighted. The number of phantoms you will have collected depends on how many **highlighted** hidden items you find.

While in the affected location, you can see a counter at the top of the screen telling you how many phantoms are available to find.

You do not need to collect all of the highlighted items in sequence to complete the location. However, **only** the highlighted items will count towards the number of phantoms you have collected in this location.

If you find (and click on) non-highlighted hidden items, the counter at the top of the screen will decrease.

Whether Words or Silhouettes, the current item you should seek will be highlighted in a colored tint on your list. Clicking items that are highlighted in this manner will contribute to the goal of the mini-event. Clicking a highlighted item will gather one phantom, and the highlighting will move to a different item on the list.

## Tips

* Anomalies or other modes may actually benefit you during this mini-event, since they give more time to complete a location.
* **Be careful with the time limits in locations and on the mini-event itself-- it's very common to use more items than end up being earned as a result of this event!**
* When it comes to tools, Compasses and Magnifier do not point to the highlighted item.
* Diode Bombs will collect highlighted items in the top three positions on the list.
* Similar Items and Bats modes will count items as two.
* Take screenshots so you can take your time.
* The Lunar Lens Tool is useful for narrowing down specific items on the list.
* If new to the game, there will likely be fewer and/or easier locations for the mini-event to show up in.
* New players should not open up a new location right away so as not to Rank up in more difficult/expensive locations while playing the mini-event.
