[Guide] Planar Arena Enviroment guide

[Haligali]

Hi

Many of you farming arena on a daily basis, but wouldn't be better if we knew which enviroment is coming, before we actually see it?
This small guide is created to help you in this.

Maybe some of you noticed already, there is a small flash (or smoke) on the ground, right after the boss spawns, in between the 1-3 seconds of the countdown. The place where the flash appears can tell you what is coming.

A: Proximity Curse
B: Mushrooms
C: Poison Clouds
D: Vortex Crystal

If there is no flash, then the enviroment is Spiders, and Enraging Obelix is spawning anyways.

From different angles, the flash appear in different place, but always in same place relative to each other.
The hardest to tell on Mother, because her appeareance covers a lot space on the ground, can hide the flash easily. You'll need a little practice to the exact forecast.

Lets see some reference pictures:

Poison Clouds on Stahl


Proximity Curse on Bloodhammer


Poison Clouds on Rutger


Mushroom on Mother

As you can see, if the flash is before boss and a bit right side, then its prox, if its before boss and a bit left side, then mushrooms.
If the flash is behind boss and a bit right side, then its poison, if the flash is behind boss and a bit left up, then its vortex.

Happy practicing, good luck to farming.
