Doors of Perception

This content has been retired and is no longer available in game. |
As you wander through the sand dunes, you see a figure up ahead. As you get closer, he keeps disappearing and reappearing -- to your left, to your right, then right behind you. You spin around and see that the figure has bronze skin, warpaint, a feathered headdress, and is wearing nothing but a loincloth.
"Follow me," he says, in a deep, echoing voice. "I am your spirit guide."
He turns and you follow him, silently, until you've lost track of time and space. Just when you feel like you're about to have some kind of deep, searing insight, he turns and seems surprised to find you there.
"You're still following me?" he says. "I was just yanking your chain, man. I can't believe you fell for that!" and he disappears.
Great. Not only are you even more lost than you were before, but now you're exhausted from all the walking.
 | You acquire an effect: Barking Dogs (duration: 5 Adventures) |
Occurred at The Arid, Extra-Dry Desert (Dehydrated).
Notes
- The effect is now applied randomly while adventuring in a non-fully explored The Arid, Extra-Dry Desert without Ultrahydrated.
References
- The encounter name refers to a phrase that entered pop culture through a book title by Aldous Huxley, but "Doors of Perception" was originally coined by British author William Blake. In the midst of the sixties and psychedelic fever, Jim Morrison named his band "The Doors".
- In the movie The Doors by Oliver Stone, Jim Morrison, having taken acid, is led by a spirit Indian shaman around the desert.
