Night expedition: Difference between revisions
→Gameplay: Might need some reworking, but I figured since the Smoky Progg has a unique mechanic, it should be mentioned specifically.

The first Lumiknoll will always be accompanied by a blue beacon right next to it, similar to the ones the player can place down with the [[Survey Drone]]. If there is a second Lumiknoll, that one will be accompanied by an orange beacon. A Lumiknoll's [[health]] appears at the top of the [[HUD]] so the player can always keep track of its state. To further help the player understand what is going on, a mini-[[radar]] exists on the bottom-right corner of the HUD. This mini-radar, as well as the main radar, highlight the location of Lumiknolls, enemies, and particularly frenzied enemies (alongside their direction). Lumiknolls and frenzied enemies also appear as colored silhouettes if they're behind terrain. As enemies get closer to a Lumiknoll, the [[music]] becomes more alarming and sinister, taking on a harrowing melody if any is actively under attack. | The first Lumiknoll will always be accompanied by a blue beacon right next to it, similar to the ones the player can place down with the [[Survey Drone]].

Some later missions feature one or more large eggs in various locations around the map. If left alone, each egg with eventually hatch a [[Smoky Progg]], who will begin to head for the nearest Luminkoll (or Tricknoll on rare occasions). They are a significantly greater threat than many other enemies encountered during night missions, as they have higher health and create [[gloom]], a hazard Glow Pikmin are not immune to and will die instantly from. These eggs can be broken before they hatch, which will instantly kill the Smoky Progg and leave behind a large pile of glow pellets. | |||
Since gameplay during night expeditions takes place in the exact same locations the player explores during the day, the state of any [[obstacle]]s will be reflected between the day and the night, meaning the player will have an easier time if they clear obstacles during the day before trying out a night expedition at that same spot. | Since gameplay during night expeditions takes place in the exact same locations the player explores during the day, the state of any [[obstacle]]s will be reflected between the day and the night, meaning the player will have an easier time if they clear obstacles during the day before trying out a night expedition at that same spot. | ||
