Marvel Rivals: Night of Illusions — Chapter One Walkthrough

Marvel Rivals: Night of Illusions — Chapter One Walkthrough

I clicked through Elsa Bloodstone’s line and the room unfolded into a single, crooked question. The first choice I made felt small but wrong, like a hidden latch releasing. I stayed—because you will want to fix what you broke.

I’ve played enough Marvel Rivals to know when an event is trying to trick you. You and I will move through chapter one of the Night of Illusions step by step so you don’t waste time tapping dead ends. Read the scene, pick the items I point out, and keep an eye on Elsa and Deadpool: they’re the only reliable compasses here.

The room felt sterile and small, like an overbright clinic at midnight. How to complete chapter one in Marvel Rivals Night of Illusions event

First: slow your taps. The event is a logic puzzle dressed as a hidden-object scene. I’ll lay out the exact actions you need so you avoid repeating the “failed” outcome Elsa teases you with.

  • Click through Elsa Bloodstone’s opening dialogue until the scene opens. You can skip, but read the hints—Deadpool speaks next and his position matters.
  • On the small table near the left edge, find the sparkling orange vial. Tap it to collect a Red Vial into your inventory.
  • Now tap Deadpool (he’s near the back middle of the room). From the prompt, select the Red Vial from your inventory to submit it to him.
  • Click through the following dialogue between Elsa and Deadpool. If you see a message that you “failed the challenge,” don’t panic—this is part of the scripted loop that clarifies the next objective.

How do I complete chapter one of Night of Illusions?

Answer: collect the Red Vial from the left table, submit it to Deadpool, then gather clues from the scene until the assistant calms. If you missed the vial, you’ll usually have to replay the scene to get a clearer objective—this is by design.

Now the scene opens into the real test: click every sparkling item until you’ve found the clues. The game tries to hide them among plenty of clickable junk, so treat each bright point as suspicious rather than obvious.

  • Blue Candy on the small table near the left edge.
  • Green Vial on the same small table.
  • Blue Vial also on that left table.
  • Red Candy on the bottom shelf under the table.
  • Yellow Candy beside the red candy under the table.
  • Bone Saw on the floor in front of the small table.
  • Click multiple spots on Deadpool: Deadpool’s head, Deadpool’s knee, Deadpool’s shoe, and the bottom of Deadpool’s dress.
  • Surgical Forceps on the floor to the left of the right-side table.
  • Nursing Clipboard sitting on the ground above the Surgical Forceps.
  • Used Syringe on the small right-side table.
  • Hunter’s Journal inside the locker to Deadpool’s right.

Where are the clue locations in chapter one?

Short answer: mostly on the left small table and around Deadpool. If you’re using captured screenshots (Discord, Reddit, or Steam guides help), mark each of the 11 hotspots so you don’t misclick extra shiny but irrelevant objects.

The assistant trembled like someone holding too many coffee cups. Find the one correct item among the clutter to bring the assistant back to calm in Marvel Rivals

Once you’ve collected the 11 clues, the game asks you to identify the single correct item that will calm the assistant. This is the moment players trip up most: many items feel relevant, but only one is accepted.

Here’s how to proceed after collecting clues:

  1. Review the clues you gathered. The narrative points toward what the assistant reacted to—syringes and vials are the likely culprits.
  2. Try the Red Vial first if you haven’t already submitted it to Deadpool during the opening sequence; it’s the item that progresses the script early on.
  3. If the Red Vial fails in the second loop, test the Used Syringe and the Hunter’s Journal next. One of these three resolves the assistant’s panic in most runs.

If you want a shortcut, community guides on Discord and Reddit tend to post annotated screenshots within minutes of the event’s release. I checked Moyens I/O and found players confirming the same three-item shortlist—so you’re not guessing alone.

The clues scatter like confetti in a hurricane, but the correct choice usually reads like a single sentence the scene is trying to whisper at you.

Want to argue if the Red Vial or the Syringe is the more narratively satisfying solution—Deadpool or Elsa—who’s the better partner for a mess like this?
