Now i have a question and the answer to it is simple if we think outside the box (aka it is a game mechanic and reused assets, as well to make it more conected with everything else.)

However, why are we fighting hallucination of the molten alliance or the aetherblades?

I can understand Kraith, Nightmare Court, random monsters, however these make no real sense.

Where is the stimulus for our characters brain to create these hallucinations?
The one i mentioned make sense, because these are “natural hazards” which you encounter around the world as well as the active thread that is around you (Toxic Alliance).

So, why do we as players see these other specific enemies?
Only because we hear Scarlet? (oh and by the way, we players don`t know she is behind that till we reach the top) However what if the player hasn`t had any conection with the prior living stories? (well thats a stretch) Why do we as players have nightmare hallucinations about these enemies?

Just so Scarlet can use her forces now also as a nightmare creature, alongside her holographic creations?

Though i have a solution for this problem, so it would make sense:
“have her exposition dump” be split throughout the tower, where she is boasting about every alliance, so the character sees them and thus has a stimulus for his mind to create them.

Right now, i find it a bit confusing, if we take these terms and how they work more seriously (i know it is a game, but still…)

It was implied that Scarlet can influence which hallucibations show up inside your head. Some of the things she says didn’t make sense at all, like how she talks about that you’re jealous that Logan loves Jennah more than you (unless she was taking to Kasmeer or Majory, I don’t know their backstories since I missed a few LS updates do I do t have a clue what was happening with them).

I think they’re a bit more than hallucinations…they attack real world Moas, they’re real world creatures…

Calling it now: all of LS is a hallucination.

I am quite impressed actually. The writers asked these quesion themselves.

I did a nightmare chamber (or was it the final chamber? i don`t know anymore)and got one with our dynamic duo Kashmeer and Majory.

There they are acutally asking the same question:
Majory: “why do we see Aetherblades?”
Kashmeer: “Scarlet might scramble our heads, as we are weakened by the pollen.”

Unfortunatly that it is. No follow up, just Scarlet did it. I hope we get some more answers later on.
