A Location Encounter is a specific type of Encounter the player might gain during a game of Eldritch Horror. They take place in the named City spaces that occur around the map.
Unlike the General Encounter, a Location Encounter will usually trigger a specific effect, either through a skill check, or obtained automatically without one. Thus, a player who wants that effect to happen should head to that location and undertake an encounter there.
