The Marvel Rivals Night of Illusions answers are: give Deadpool the Blue Candy (Room 1), enter 1982 on the Scrapyard door (Room 2), pry the shield open with the Bone Pins and finish the Devil Dinosaur tile slider (Room 3), place the four ritual items and point the clock at the moon (Room 4), then name the four files, repair the Hunting Rifle and win the shooting duel (Room 5). NetEase’s Version 20261029 patch notes put the event from October 29 to December 31, 2026, 09:00 UTC, so there is plenty of time, but the rewards are limited-time.
The dates, the five rooms and the reward types are official. The step-by-step answers and the item names of each reward come from guides published by Destructoid, Beebom, TheClick and How To Video Game on October 29-30, which we cross-checked against each other. Where they disagree, this guide says so.

Quick answer
- Room 1, Infirmary (Deadpool): collect all 11 clues, then give Nurse-Pool the Blue Candy. The Red Vial fails on purpose.
- Room 2, Scrapyard (Rocket Raccoon): 10 clues; the door code is 1982 (it is on the Ripped Draft).
- Room 3, Abandoned House (Devil Dinosaur): 19 clues; use the Bone Pins on the latched shield, then solve the sliding-tile picture of the Skele-Saurus.
- Room 4, Hall of Eternal Night (Blade): Arcane Fragment upper left, Rusted Cross upper right, Blood Moon Orb bottom right, Floating Candelabra bottom left; moon symbol at 12 o’clock with both hands on it. (One guide gives a different layout; see below.)
- Room 5, Unknown Space (Mister Fantastic): files are Trash Panda, Skele-Saurus, Vampire King and Nurse-Pool; repair the rifle with Hunting Rifle, Blade’s Blessing, Bone Bullet and Welding Torch; land three timed shots.
- Rewards: a spray, emoji, spray and mood for Rooms 1-4, then two Gallery Cards and 100 Units for Room 5.
Answers cross-checked across four dated guides on October 31, 2026, 03:40 UTC. Event dates checked against NetEase’s patch notes at the same time.

Night of Illusions start and end time
According to the Version 20261029 patch notes, the event period is “October 29th, 2026, 09:00:00 to December 31st, 2026, 09:00:00 (UTC)”. The patch itself went live at the same moment with no server downtime. US clocks go back on November 1, so the end time is an hour earlier in US Eastern and Pacific than the start time was.
| Moment | UTC | US Eastern | US Pacific | UK |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Event opened | Oct 29, 09:00 | Oct 29, 5:00 AM EDT | Oct 29, 2:00 AM PDT | Oct 29, 9:00 AM GMT |
| Event ends | Dec 31, 09:00 | Dec 31, 4:00 AM EST | Dec 31, 1:00 AM PST | Dec 31, 9:00 AM GMT |
NetEase’s setup is the only story detail it has published: a mysterious man, fixated on a witch, “mistook the number ‘4’ on her person for her actual name” and tries to sacrifice four “monsters” to finish a summoning ritual. Elsa Bloodstone walks into the house to find out what happened. The official reward promise is “rare Gallery Cards, Units, Sprays, and more”; the guides fill in the names.
The event is played on its own event screen, not in matches, according to all four guides. Each room unlocks only after the previous one, and items you pick up stay in your inventory, because Rooms 4 and 5 reuse items from earlier rooms.
Marvel Rivals Night of Illusions answers at a glance
| Room | Victim | Clues | Answer | Reward (per guides) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Infirmary | Deadpool (Nurse-Pool) | 11 | Give him the Blue Candy | Nurse on Duty! Spray |
| 2. Scrapyard | Rocket Raccoon | 10 | Door code 1982 | Trash to Treasure Emoji |

Room 1: Infirmary answer (Blue Candy)
- Click through Elsa’s opening lines. Take the Red Vial, the sparkling orange vial on the small table at the left edge of the room.
- Give it to Deadpool. This fails by design; click Try Again to open the real objective.
- Inspect all 11 clues. Destructoid’s chapter one walkthrough lists them: Blue Candy, Green Vial and Blue Vial on the left table; Red Candy and Yellow Candy on the shelf under it; the Bone Saw on the floor in front of it; four spots on Deadpool (head, knee, shoe, hem of the dress); Surgical Forceps and Nursing Clipboard on the floor at the right; the Used Syringe on the right table; and the Hunter’s Journal in the locker beside him.
- Give Deadpool the Blue Candy. The clues on Deadpool point to candy, and every guide agrees the blue one is correct.
Room 2: Scrapyard door code (1982)
Rocket Raccoon, in his Trash King look, has gone feral. The room has 10 clues, but more sparkling spots than clues, and the door stays unresponsive until you have clicked everything. Per Destructoid, the spots are: the Broken Pressure Gauge (wall left of Rocket), a Handful of Rusted Gear Shafts (front left floor), the Dried-Out Marker and Tangled Wires (in front of Rocket), Rocket’s gun, foot and arm, then his chest, the Ripped Draft (bottom right), the Wrench and Screwdriver (upper right) and the Welding Torch in the right corner. Keep the torch: Room 5 needs it.
Inspect the Ripped Draft twice, once before you finish with Rocket and once after. Then click the locked door in the middle and enter 1982. The four digits are on the draft in torn pieces you have to line up, which is where most players get stuck.
Room 3: Abandoned House solution (Bone Pins and tile puzzle)
This is the longest search, with 19 clues around a pile of dinosaur bones. The items that matter later are the Floating Candelabra (top left, used in Room 4) and the Bone Bullet (floor under the Skull Blueprint, used in Room 5).
- Blueprints: Skull (wall right of the candelabra), Tail (bottom left), Leg (floor above the Joint Tendons, bottom right), Spine and Rib (hidden, see below).
- Spine Blueprint: take the Extinguished Soul-Lantern hanging off the bone pile, catch four blue wisps (on the wall between the candelabra and the Skull Blueprint, above the dinosaur’s head, over its torso and on the far right wall), then click the lantern again.
- Rib Blueprint: the Shield left of the Leg Blueprint is latched. When the game asks for a tool to pry it open, submit the Bone Pins stuck in the right-hand wall. Beebom and Destructoid agree on this.
- Late spots: the Pager under the bone pile, the Glowing Eye Socket, the upper right of the torso, the bottom right bone pile, and finally the hole right of the dinosaur’s eye, which only opens after every bone piece is checked.
With every clue found, click the central bone pile to start a sliding-tile puzzle that rebuilds the Skele-Saurus. No written move order exists yet: Destructoid shows its solution only as a video, and Beebom and TheClick describe the goal (a complete skeleton picture) without moves. The usual method works: finish the top row, then the next, and solve the last two rows together by cycling tiles around the gap.

Room 4: Hall of Eternal Night ritual clock solution
Blade, the “Vampire King”, has been corrupted, and Elsa has to restart a ritual. First collect the 10 clues: the Empty Blood Vial (upper left floor), the Rusted Cross (back wall behind Blade), the Book of Rituals (in front of Blade; reading it adds spots on his head, upper chest and leg, then his belt), the Arcane Fragment (wall to Blade’s right), the Circle Dial (floor in front of the middle chair), the Blood Moon Orb (right of the middle window), and the Scribbled Manuscript and Rust-Broken Chain (bottom right). Then click the sword on the middle chair.
| Slot | Destructoid, TheClick, How To Video Game | Beebom |
|---|---|---|
| Upper left | Arcane Fragment | Rusted Cross |
| Upper right | Rusted Cross | Blood Moon Orb |
| Bottom right | Blood Moon Orb | Floating Candelabra |
| Bottom left | Floating Candelabra | Arcane Fragment |
Three of the four guides give the same layout (left column), including Destructoid’s chapter four walkthrough, so try that first. Beebom’s version is the same order rotated one corner, which may reflect how its screenshot was read; if the left column is rejected in your game, try Beebom’s.
Then rotate the rings so the moon symbol on the outer ring sits at the top, where 12 would be on a clock, and turn both clock hands to point at it. The Circle Dial clue shows the target position. The clock spins, you receive Blade’s Blessing (needed in Room 5), and the room pays out the Thirsty… Mood.
Room 5: Unknown Space files, rifle and final duel
The last room has 12 clues. Start with Mister Fantastic: his hat, arm and leg, then the mouth spot that appears after those. That reveals the rest of the room.
| File (silhouette) | Where it is | Correct name |
|---|---|---|
| Rocket Raccoon | Floor right of the chair by the wall | Trash Panda |
| Devil Dinosaur | Floor left of Mister Fantastic | Skele-Saurus |
| Blade | Behind Mister Fantastic’s foot | Vampire King |
| Deadpool | Bottom front corner | Nurse-Pool |
Rocket’s answer is Trash Panda, not the name of his Trash King costume. The other clues are Reed Richards’s Diary (floor by the left chair), the Ritual Book (right of the computer), the Portrait of a Mysterious Woman (right wall), the Witch’s Orb (chair on the left) and Elsa Bloodstone’s File on the big glowing red 4 in the middle, which opens last.
- Click the Witch’s Orb to open the rifle repair and submit the Hunting Rifle, Blade’s Blessing, Bone Bullet and Welding Torch. Destructoid says the order does not matter.
- Click Mister Fantastic to face him as Mr. Malignance.
- Press attack (Space on PC, per Beebom) when the moving marker is inside the yellow target zone. Beebom and TheClick say three good shots end it; Destructoid notes five marks are shown and about half need to land. Too many misses restart the duel, not the room.
- Click through Elsa’s final lines to complete the event.
All Night of Illusions rewards
Beebom, Destructoid and TheClick list the same items, and they match NetEase’s official promise of Gallery Cards, Units and Sprays. NetEase has not published the item names, so treat them as reported.
| Room | Reward | Type |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Infirmary | Nurse on Duty! | Spray |
| 2. Scrapyard | Trash to Treasure | Emoji |
| 3. Abandoned House | Any-Fin for Candy | Spray |
| 4. Hall of Eternal Night | Thirsty… | Mood |
| 5. Unknown Space | Mr. Malignance; The Witches Watched; 100 Units | 2 Gallery Cards + currency |
The 100 Units come only from finishing Room 5. Night of Illusions is separate from the All Hallows’ Glow rewards track, which ends earlier, on November 13 at 09:00 UTC per NetEase’s Version 20261015 notes.
Where the guides disagree
- Room 4 item layout: three guides vs Beebom, as in the table above.
- Room 5 duel: “three perfect shots” (Beebom, TheClick) vs “five marks, hit about half” (Destructoid). Both describe the same win condition of roughly three hits.
- Room 3 tile slider: no guide has a written move list; only video solutions exist.
Everything else (all codes, file names, rifle parts, clue counts and rewards) is identical across the four guides.

FAQ
What is the door code in Night of Illusions?
1982, for the Scrapyard door in Room 2. The digits are on the Ripped Draft, torn into pieces you have to match up.
What do you give Deadpool in Night of Illusions?
The Blue Candy from the small table on the left of the Infirmary. Giving him the Red Vial first is part of the script and always fails.
How do you solve the Night of Illusions clock puzzle?
Arcane Fragment upper left, Rusted Cross upper right, Blood Moon Orb bottom right, Floating Candelabra bottom left, then turn the outer ring so the moon is at 12 o’clock and point both hands at it. Beebom reports a rotated layout; try it if the first is rejected.
