Please note that there are NO MAPS for this Island as you simply follow the maze.
There are 12 dragons that you need to lead through the maze one by one. Each dragon has its own coloured path and has to move through its own set of nodes. Once each dragon finishes its path in the maze, you will be awarded that dragon. You know that dragon has finished because you will find the node with the chequered flag. The maze is covered in fog, which will clear as you move your dragon through the maze.
To move each dragon through each node, you need to collect points, which you will get by collecting gold, food, PvP, breeding and hatching. You can get 600 points every 8-hours. This quest is going 18 days. So we can collect 32700 in total (300 start bonus included)

When moving through the nodes, you can be awarded points, gems, food and gold, and there are fights on some nodes too. The further you get through the maze, the more points it will cost to move to a new node. For example, node 1 for dragon 1 may cost 30 maze points but that same dragon on node 18 may cost 175 maze points.
At the start of the maze, there are dragons who are unlocked and some that are not. You need to lead the unlocked dragons through the maze to find keys on certain nodes, which will unlock the other dragons. However, players can skip dragons which they already have once they have collected keys along the path to save some points.
For the last quests of this type we had "happy hours". That means that we had a discount on costs for the steps we walk. Perhaps you should just wait and walk when "happy hour" pops up.
Key locations:
Friendship, Wandering, Wisp don`t need keys.
Blizzking and Stinger dont need keys but are only available on a limited time period (check the timer in the game).Stinger will be available from 17th and Blizzking from 22th of december.
We dont know when and where Striking will show up.
These dragons need keys:
Mana needs 5 keys, you will find them here: Wisp 7, 12, 21; Friendship 12; Wandering 17.
Rook needs 5 keys, you will find them here: Friendship 4, 21; Wandering 24; Mana 7, 15.
Strange needs 7 keys, you will find them here: Cubic 34, 42; Dark Ash 3, 18, 26, 38, 47.
Bear needs 5 keys, you will find them here: Wandering 5; Mana 27; Rook 11, 20, 28.
Cubic needs 3 keys, you will find them here: Rook 4; Bear 10,23.
Dark Ash needs 5 keys, you will find them here: Bear 31, 41; Cubic 6, 13, 20.
Here you find what each path for the dragons cost (coins we get on the path are included):
Wisp 1780
Friendship 3620
Wandering 4588
Stinger 18290
Mana 8970
Rook 7706
Bear 9152
Cubic 11974

There are also some artifacts on the paths. Unfortunately the guide doesn`t show locations. Hopefully people will post where they found them.

Did we? I don't remember seeing anyone reporting happy hours on the last couple maze-type islands.

Besides, on the FB group there is (again, unofficial) description of the location of the artifacts:

Wisp Dragon: No artifacts
Friendship Dragon: No artifact
Wandering Dragon: No artifact
Stinger Dragon: Epic Artifact at first node
Mana Dragon: Epic Artifact at 12th Node
Rook Dragon: Epic Artifact at 25th Node
Bear Dragon: Epic Artifact at 19th Node
Cubic Dragon: Legend Artifact at 40th Node
Dark Ash Dragon: Legend Artifact at 44th Node
Blizzking Dragon:Epic Artifact at first node and Legend Artifact at 19th Node
Striking Dragon: Legend Artifact at first node
Strange Dragon: Legend Artifact at 5th Node

From what it looks like, for 32700, I can get either:
-Wisp, Friendship, Wandering, Mana, and Rook.
-Wisp, Friendship, Wandering, and Stinger.
-Wisp, Friendship, and Blizzking.
-Wisp, Wandering, and Blizzking.
-Friendship, Wandering, and Blizzking.

Well, from this Island, I need Wandering, Stinger, Rook, Cubic, Blizzking, and Strange.
-Strange & Cubic are pretty much out of the question.
-I can get either Rook, Stinger, or Blizzking, but not any combination of the 3.
-I am guaranteed Wandering.
So, my options are Wandering with either Rook, Stinger, or Blizzking.

Opinions on which one I should choose?

Unless I messed up my math i can get Wandering, Rook and 2 epic and 1 legend artifacts for free. The question becomes how many coins can i get to make up the @8446 deficit for Cubic. Something tells me not nearly enough.

I'm going to catch the free artifacts and maybe wandering.
If weren't these artifacts, would be a pleasure ignore the whole event, really not interested to pass 14 days collecting spare dragons.

@Arranos You can have also:
-Wisp, Friendship, Wandering, Mana, and Bear
Just do not go further with Rook after last Bears key...

I already have: Wisp, Friendship, Blizzking, Mana & Bear

I got the Wandering last night. Waiting for the Stinger to open up

There weren't any Happy Hours last time so I'm not holding my breath.

Cool****

Stinger path was open for a short time and now it is locked again. I wonder why.

No idea what is going on!! Opened in the wee hours of the morning and I moved a few places. I used up all my fog coins so logged out for a while. Came back and Stinger says available in 3 days 20 hours. He's back in a cage so I don't know if I lost my progress & fog coins or not.

I would send in a ticket just to get my coins back if I were you.

I just checked again. Stinger is locked on mobile but open on Facebook. Stinger is where I left off earlier this morning. Very strange. Guess I'll try moving after the next collection period and see what happens.

I wonder if there will be more than one open period for the Stinger??? At a cost of 18,290 coins I can't get him in just 4 days without buying a lot of fog coins. I hate to squander my fog coins moving on his path if I have no hope of getting him.

This must only work for those who moved, mine are both locked with the three day timer.

How are you guys doing on the maze, are you moving or waiting for the illusive happy hour. HEHE illusive HH in the Illusion maze.

Me I am moving because I do not think I will be going past Rook. @Pounawea or @BEX101 there should be a happy hour on Christmas as a Xmas gift to the community. Hint, hint.

I only collected Wandering. Now I am waiting.

I have collected the wandering dragon and got the hunter on the first try. I am trying to reach the battle with the mana dragon. After this I will be able to get everything I can whenever I decide.

I got the Wandering {had my usual ZERO luck breeding Hunter}
I moved a few spots on Stinger when he was briefly open.
Waiting to see if I can catch the next open period

@TeamTerrier said in Illusion Island:

Same. 5 tries, two archangels, one storm, one jade and one pure sea.

I got hunter on 13th try. I spent a bit more than 100 gems.

i do not even have island , all my team mates do and I have updated every machine I have

good night I am presenting a problem with the dragon stinger I started to release it when they unlocked it and now it does not let me advance anymore and I was already unblocked I did the experiment with another dragon and I tried again and nothing and restart several times, please help

The Stinger path was only open for a very short time. It is locked again now for everyone. You can walk there again when the timer goes on zero.

I am going for the ones on the mana, rook, stinger, cubic, bear, striking and the first one on the blizzking nodes.

hmm was already looking what would be the best way. how many coins does it cost in total to do the path you're following?

@Janna-Bakker said in Illusion Island:

I didn't figure them out yet, all except the full cubic path I can do for free. If I want to follow the full cubic path I would need to buy coins. I am not sure if I will do that or how much it will cost, I am saving that for later in the event.

yeah, true. also hope happy hour would come again.

Stinger path is open!! 3 days I think it will be available. Prior progress was saved

@TeamTerrier said in Illusion Island:

Stinger path is open!! 3 days I think it will be available. Prior progress was saved

Claimed my artifact now I am done with that path. YAY!

@TeamTerrier Problem is that 3 days are not enough to pay 18290 points in order to get Stinger. For all players who've finished Wandering it will take 19 more collections (6.3 days) to collect enough points.
I am afraid the same will apply when Blizzking becomes available. I don't think Blizzking will be available till December 29 - so no chance to get Blizzking either.
What's the point of all of this???
Rook is the only one we will be able to get without paying money.

The point? For you to pay to get more or you to make the decision of which you can get for free. The days of getting all or most for free are a thing of the past. Having prior experience with Monster Legends who started the limited paths I knew that these were just the carrot dangling in our face so I did not set my sights on anything beyond the first move for the artifact. With that said I am still in debate mode with myself whether I am willing to pay to get Cubic or not, at this point it all comes down to if I get some gift certificates for Christmas or not, and if I am willing to spend them in DC. But honestly I am losing the debate because an epic is not worth buying since I know I will not be using him in any battles, I will just catch Cubic and Strange later.

@Nynaevelan I don't like carrots anyway.

guys i cant see anything on illusion island in my phone (samsung j1). i use browser to play in illusion island. is this a bug?

@jerekiel Are you running the latest update? 5.1

@Bettina-Löffler if what u mean is the piggy bank update then yes. whats even weird is that the fogs are colored peach instead of white like in the browser. is that intended?

Mine is also peach on phone. I didn`t check if it is different on browser.

@Bettina-Löffler i guess its because im using an old phone. does ur phone work fine in illusion island?

I am using an android tablet and it is working fine. On phone it is laggy. The game needs much space. Perhaps it helps if you remove some stuff from your phone.

@jerekiel I usually have this when my phone is 'too full' and needs some emptying. the game just makes things not appear, in another way saying "you need to clean your phone" as it doesnt seem to be able to generate stuff around...? its really odd but that helps me.

After get the epic artifacts, I don't know what to do with my coins. My math says it will be possible to get stinger dragon but my brain says it's irrational to pay so much for a dragon that is re-released all the time. I'd like to go to cubic, but I think it's necessary to buy some coins and I don't want to do it. I remember skyking dragon was impossible to obtain without extra coins and he will return as free reward inside an upcoming new year calendar, pretty soon to a dragon that some players spent money. I'm afraid that the same happens with permafrost and cubic.

Where are you getting info that Striking will be a reward on a calendar?

I didn't find an image of him...

Oh sorry, my fault. But still the same question, how do you know he will show up in a calendar. But honestly all dragons except Heroics and VIPs will eventually show up again, some for free, some not. Which factors into my decisions on whether I pay or not. I was actually considering buying coins for Cubic but then I decided he is an epic and one I would not use for fighting, so I will wait to catch both him and Permafrost at a later date. Besides Infinity is coming up soon and I want to get him to finish the mini VIP collection.

I saw on a facebook group that leaked some things
if you want I can pass to you the group name (I'm sure I can't post the group link here)
Yep, all the dragons come back but in the case of skyking was very fast. I noticed SP is bringing back the recent released dragons, so I'm kinda confused about what to do.
I mean, it's really nice to return for free, but pisses me off the fact that I spent money like 2 months ago to get him, I should have patience. Like poisonux, one or two weeks ago, he was on sale, next week he will be a special breeding and now he is a permanent breeding

Yeah he got me twice, first by going on sale for a cheaper cost and now he is free by breeding. Which is why I have learned to set maxes on what I will spend based on the possibility they will come around again cheaper. And yes please send me the group name by chat. It might be the one I am thinking of but it doesn't hurt to know if it is another good one to join.

I would be careful with spreading out news of unreleased stuff. Social Point often changes things short before things go live.

I tried to get Stinger. I had saved some thousands of credits before starting and missed only one opportunity to collect. Now the dragon is gone and I'm short of more then 10k points with nothing gained for. I feel really screwed!

Unfortunately there is no way around this other than to 1. Keep your eye on the timer and 2. Make sure you have enough coins to complete the limited paths **BEFORE **you make any moves. FYI a tip for you based on experience of these limited paths from Monster Legends, these paths are never possible for free, you will need to buy coins to reach the end before they expire.
