What is Night of Illusions in Marvel Rivals?
You’ve seen event modes that swap combat for exploration before; this one borrows the language of detective thrillers. Night of Illusions is a puzzle-and-mystery event in Marvel Rivals where you sweep through five distinct scenes, collect clues, trigger small puzzles, meet familiar heroes, and eventually face a boss that plays more like a fishing minigame than a brawl. There’s no standard combat until the end, so you’re solving, not slugging.

How to complete Night of Illusions in Marvel Rivals?
I’ll be blunt: the event rewards patience and pattern-spotting. Each chapter hides a set number of clues; you must find every one, then use them to answer the scene’s puzzle and progress. Some rooms contain bonus puzzles, but the core loop is collect, inspect, and resolve.
If you treat each scene like a small investigation—scan high and low, interact with anything that glows, and keep an eye on inventory items like the Extinguished Soul-Lantern—you’ll avoid backtracking. The puzzles can feel like a Rubik’s cube with missing colors, but once you isolate the mechanism, the solution snaps into place.
