Can anyone help me pin down where these elusive swine might be? I'd also much appreciate a screenshot of what they look like if anyone has any, as my eyes have difficulty registering the unfamiliar. Much appreciation in advance.

✭✭✭✭✭I encountered a number of them during the first day of NM, and they appear to be in random locations, and it's just an enemy with a yellow glow.Nightfighters ― PC/NA and PC/EU

✭✭Hmmm. I've got friends who have the achievement on day 1, but despite ripping my way through all the districts I've never encountered one.
Are they mixed in with the normal mobs or do they wander alone?Edited by Gabriel_H on May 5, 2026 2:17PMPC EU

Yea, I haven't seen any since that first day. It was supposedly hotfixed yesterday, but I haven't done any NM since the hotfix, so I can't say if the hotfix worked or not.twisttop138 wrote: »This is the same for me and I haven't seen any since.

✭✭✭✭✭They seem to be ultra rare, I've finished everything else in NM and never saw one. Except I saw one randomly walking around when I was briefly playing on EU (of course, since it's not my main server). I was so annoyed xD0 -

Gina said they are looking into it as a possible bug:

ETA: Oh, I see this was supposedly hotfixed. Add me to the list of “still haven’t seen any.”
Would also appreciate it if the faceted enemies and the gold buff enemies did NOT share the same “gold” color.Edited by virtus753 on May 5, 2026 10:30PM0 -
ZibjiSoul ShrivenThey’re still exhibiting buggy behavior even post hotfix. Of all the people I’ve asked in game and online, I’ve only had people say they saw them on the first day. I have farmed quite a bit post hotfix and have not seen any, nor have my guildmates across different instances.2 -

I did run into a couple yesterday evening 5th May and they did seem to respawn one is a behemoth and the other a minotaur, not sure how many different ones there are but they are about.0 -

✭✭✭✭I finally saw one of these last night. It was a gold-outlined boar mob (same one in green side Vateshran) with 7.4m HP
It was about 20m from the entrance in the Parch and didn't really roam any farther.
I saw the same one, the boar, like an hour later in the Parch but in the NE section, near the lower east entrance to the fire beetle.
I didn't screenshot but the gold outline is the same kind of outline you see on enemy mobs (but red) or innocent mobs (but white).IGN @ emilypumpkin

✭✭Thanks for the replies. A friend spotted one for me last night, it was in The Parch - It was a (Faceted) Iron Atronach and had no distinct glow at all.PC EU

✭There was one stuck in a wall in Sorrows friend. It could be bashed on terrain at a certain angle. We bashed it to death for 20 mins because they are so rare, or are always cleared quickly.Edited by Orbital78 on May 6, 2026 1:07PM1 -

✭Seems they fixed the spawn, and now they are everywhere XD
At Parch entrance I found the Faceted Boar, the next group had a Faceted Minotaur, the group after that had a Faceted Iron Atronach.
They all had a little golden glow on their feet. And their health is around 7-8 Millions.
Hope this helps

ZibjiSoul ShrivenThank you. Multiple days of farming after the hotfix on PSNA but no luck finding any. Even across different instances. I would chalk it up to bad rng, but I’ve had multiple guildmates reporting the same thing across different instances. I can’t find anyone on the server who’s found one since the first day.0

✭I found a facetted forest wraith last weekend. It was in a mob group you have to pass through to access one of the bosses in sorrows friend. It was covered in little yellow specks. Have not seen any of those before or after. So: if you find one of those rare enemies, be so kind to announce it in zone chat, so people can come help you kill it and get the achievement
Edit1: found it tonight again at the same location. In the south between the two bronze bosses.
Edit2: hm, when I entered skittering precinct, there was a facetted storm atro right at the entrance about to die. So they seem to spawn more often now? Good for achievement hunters^^ Here's a spoiler picture of the facetted forest wraith:
