Location Encounter

See also: General Encounter

A Location Encounter is a specific type of Encounter the player might gain during a game of Eldritch Horror. The investigator draws an encounter card matching his space's artwork or from the General Encounter deck. He resolves the effect that matches his current space, then discards the card. For a specific area's Location Encounter card, each Location Encounter card is split into three sections, each for one area in its color group; the investigator only resolves the encounter for the area that they are in. For the General Encounter card, each is also split into three sections: City, Wilderness, and Sea.

Unlike the General Encounter, a specific area's Location Encounter will likely trigger a specific effect written just below the location name, usually through a skill check, but may be obtained automatically without it. Thus, a player who wants that effect to happen should head to that location and undertake an encounter there.

If located on a City space, Darrell Simmons rolls 1 additional die when resolving a test during a Location Encounter.
