The enemy spawned depends on mode and wave, making the '''Mystery''' a potentially very dangerous enemy, especially if the player is unlucky and comes unprepared. This appears primarily appears in [[Hardcore Mode\|Hardcore]] ~~mode~~and [[Voidcore Mode\|Voidcore]] modes, and in some [[Sandbox Mode\|Sandbox]] mode exclusive modes, these being [[Legacy Molten Mode\|Legacy Molten]] mode, [[Legacy Fallen Mode\|Legacy Fallen]] mode and [[Golden Mode\|Golden]] mode. They also appeared in [[The Heights]] during the [[SFOTH Event]]. The '''Mystery''' can be spawned by the [[Void Reaper]]. The '''Mystery''' can be spawned by the [[Grave Digger (Legacy)\|Grave Digger]] ([[Hardcore Mode\|Hardcore]] only), [[Mystery Summoner]], [[Summoner Boss]], [[Necromancer Boss]] and [[Void Reaver (Legacy)\|Void Reaver]]. If the [[Enemies Beta]] modifier is active, these enemies will instead spawn the [[Breaker2]]. ==Logbook Description== ~~The '''Mystery''' is replaced by the [[Breaker2]] in any map with the [[Enemies Beta]] modifier active.~~ "''The Mystery is still a mystery. It seems they have not decided upon what they wanted to become and instead choose to wander the Void. They like to watch from a distance, studying everyone from a distance. It’s not sure what it wants to become but perhaps they are window-shopping for a new identity. They have been seen trying to lure others into the darkness and if that happens, only one of them returns.''" ==Appearance== {{Tabber \|Modern \|The '''Mystery''' is an entity made out of stone with a question mark on their torso. It has three walking animations it can choose from. \|Legacy \|{{Tabber \|Current \|The legacy '''Mystery''' is a translucent glass green humanoid with a glowing orange question mark on its torso. It is faceless and small green question marks are emitted from its torso when it is killed. \|Enemies Beta \|The [[Enemies Beta]] version of the '''Mystery''' had a pastel light green skin color, with its torso and legs being a darker shade of green with a plaid stitch mark pattern on them. It also had a desaturated yellowish-orange question mark on its chest. \|Version 3 \|The third version of the legacy '''Mystery''' is similar to the current version, except it had a drooling zombie face and did not emit green question marks upon death. \|Version 2 \|The second version of the legacy '''Mystery''' is similar to the third version, except it was more translucent, and its skin color was a lighter shade of green. Its question mark did not glow either and had a vibrant orange color. \|Version 1 \|The first version of the legacy '''Mystery''' is similar to the second version, except it was blue. }} }} ==Enemy Spawned== {{Tabber ~~The '''Mystery''' is able to spawn more [[enemies]] after its debut. ''Italic'' names can be spawned from the '''Mystery's''' debut.~~ \|Modern \|The '''Mystery''' summons in one enemy on death. These are: [[Balloon]] (20% chance) [[Hefty]] (30% chance) [[Phantom]] (50% chance) \|Legacy \|The '''Mystery''' is able to spawn more [[enemies]] after its debut. ''Italic'' names can be spawned from the '''Mystery's''' debut. {{scroll\|text = ===Easy=== Line 108 ⟶ 136: [[Hazard]] (from wave 29) [[Error]] (from wave 37) }} ~~===Hardcore===~~ ''[[Abnormal]]'' ''[[Quick]]'' ''[[Hefty]]'' ''[[Invisible]]'' ''[[Balloon]]'' ''[[Lead]]'' ''[[Lead Boss]]'' [[Lava]] (from wave 38) [[Lead Balloon]] (from wave 40) [[Error]] (from wave 43) [[Circuit (Hardcore)\|Circuit]] (from wave 44) [[Soul]] (from wave 46) }} ==Strategy== High DPS towers like the [[Accelerator]], [[Engineer]], [[Minigunner]] or [[Crook Boss]] are sufficient at dealing with the '''Mystery''', though as it can spawn the [[Phantom]] and [[Balloon]], it is required to have towers with hidden and flying detection to deal with its spawns. The greatest danger mid-game '''Mysteries''' pose is the off chance that many high-health enemies spawn from a horde of them. Weaker enemies that spawn, like [[Abnormal]]s, [[Quick]]s or [[Hefty\|Hefties]], are easy to deal with by the time '''Mysteries''' debut and are not a cause for concern. Stronger enemies like the [[Lead Boss]] are the main threats when dealing with mid-game '''Mysteries'''; most defenses are only strong enough to deal with a few of them. As '''Mysteries''' are random with their spawns, spikes in enemy count and health are sudden and unforeseen and can easily overwhelm the defense. These moments are the worst-case scenario and do not always happen, though it is usually better to be prepared for such situations. Alternatively, you could play on maps with the [[Enemies Beta]] modifier active, which replaces the '''Mystery''' with the [[Breaker2]], completely eliminating these possibilities. Due to the nature of mid-game '''Mysteries''', lots of defense should be prepared to deal with the worst-case scenario. Fairly cheap high-DPS towers like the [[Minigunner]] are very useful. Strong mid-game towers like the [[Golden Crook Boss]] or [[Militant]] are effective, though weaker ones like the [[Scout]] may falter. As '''Mysteries''' and their spawns come in hordes, towers that can deal damage to multiple enemies like the [[Shotgunner]], [[Pyromancer]], [[Gladiator]] and [[Demoman]] are effective. The [[Military Base]] is quite good against '''Mysteries'''. The [[Tank (Unit)\|Tank]] and [[Railgun Tank]] are particularly effective with their high health and splash damage capabilities. *Extra hidden defense should also be considered, especially if the past waves of [[Invisible]]s have proved troublesome. Later on in the game, '''Mysteries''' are able to spawn other enemies, some of which may be threatening. *The [[Circuit (Hardcore)\|Circuit]] from [[Hardcore Mode\|Hardcore]] mode is the most troublesome. It should be killed before it is able to speed up other enemies, which is usually doable with enough DPS. High-DPS towers like the [[Accelerator]] paired with support towers like the [[Commander]] should do the trick. Be aware that you do not earn any cash from damaging enemies that the '''Mystery''' spawns in every mode. The enemies that spawn from the '''Mystery''' do not need to be killed for wave progression to occur. If you are speedrunning a map, you should focus on killing the '''Mysteries''' first by setting your towers' targeting to ''Weakest'' before moving onto the enemies that spawn. Be aware that if you get a lot of high-health enemies, like the [[Lead Boss]], they may outrun your towers if you switch target settings. *Using towers that can hit multiple enemies can remedy this. The [[Gladiator]] is particularly good here. The [[Frost Blaster]], [[Sledger]] and [[Electroshocker]] are the best stalling towers against '''Mysteries''' as they can hit multiple enemies at once, though others like the [[Toxic Gunner]] are still viable. If there are some '''Mysteries''' at the end of the map, do not kill them, as they may spawn high-health enemies, severely reducing your base health or even killing you. ==Gallery== Line 183 ⟶ 179: {{GalleryHeader\|Miscellaneous}} <gallery> ~~IndexMystery~~ModernMysteryIconIG.png\|'''Mystery''' on its [[Index]] icon.

Certain new [[events]] and [[gamemodes]] contained enemies which functioned similarly to '''Mysteries''', these being the [[Enigma (Nil Zone)\|Enigma]], [[Frost Mystery]] from [[Operation I.C.E Event]] and the [[Mega Frost Mystery]]. The appearance of the '''Mystery''' was originally based on the [[w:c:roblox-tower-battles:Mystery\|Mystery]] from ''Tower Battles''. When the [[Super Mystery]], [[Ultra Mystery]] and [[Uber Mystery]] were in the game, the '''Mystery''' was the only mystery enemy not to have glowing eyes. Prior to the [[Overhaul v1.0\|Overhaul Update]], in regular [[Fallen Mode\|Fallen]] mode, the '''Mystery''' could spawn the [[Rusher (Polluted Wasteland)\|Rusher]], even though it is a [[Polluted Wasteland]] enemy and did not appear naturally in regular [[Fallen Mode\|Fallen]] mode. The '''Mystery''' and [[Mystery Boss]] can learn to spawn new enemies even before its first wave appearance. The question mark on the '''Mystery''' is a re-textured version of the {{RLinkC\|1028826\|Question Mark}} accessory from the Roblox catalog. The modern '''Mystery''' is unaffected by enemy appearance [[modifiers]], such as [[Talk Like a Pirate Day]]. Prior to the [[v1.1.0\|Entity System Update]], '''Mysteries''' summoned from the [[Summoner Boss]] could be stuck in the air. As the '''Mystery''' is always replaced by the [[Breaker2]] with [[Enemies Beta]] active, it is currently impossible to see the [[Enemies Beta]] appearance of the '''Mystery''' in regular gameplay. There is however a way to bypass this. In [[Sandbox Mode\|Sandbox]] mode, if an enemy has an [[Enemies Beta]] appearance, the [[Boss]] health bar will use that model. Therefore, it is possible to see the [[Enemies Beta]] [[Mystery]] by spawning it in as a [[Boss]]. This only makes it use the model in the health bar. The actual enemy will still use its base appearance. Other enemies, like the [[Tank]] or [[Giant Boss]] are also affected by this. It was possible to see it on [[Polluted Wasteland II]] before the [[V1.4.2\|Halloween 2022 Update]]. ==Update History== Line 242 ⟶ 231: New enemies it spawns: Fallen mode: [[Shadow]] Hardcore mode: [[Hefty]], [[Invisible]], [[Balloon]], [[Lead (Legacy Enemy)\|Lead]], [[Lead Boss]], [[Lava]], [[Lead Balloon]], [[Error]], [[Circuit (Hardcore)\|Circuit]] and [[Soul]].
