Random Encounters	comment	(For the proper experience, run the music from this video while reading this page.) [Insert Fight Woosh here!] Monster battles that spontaneously occur at random intervals while the player travels across an RPG. They are the same thing to video game RPGs that Construct Additional Pylons mechanics are to RTS games, Video-Game Lives are to Platformers, and dying every ten minutes is to Sierra adventure games: practically synonymous with the genre, and annoying as often as not. They were invented for tabletop RPGs and are reasonably common there. The original rationale was that as characters crossed a world map with each square representing half a day's march, they could reasonably expect to meet a pack of wild animals or band of highwaymen every few days or so (the practical reason was to get players Travelling at the Speed of Plot without obsessively checking behind literally every rock, shrub and chair that they might encounter on the way). But in some games it seems you can't walk ten feet down a narrow dungeon hallway without getting ambushed by a somewhat illogical combat encounter with nine mummy wizards. The spontaneous generation of enemies is old hat in games in general, but RPGs are a special case: In the Tabletop Games, not every random encounter was automatically a combat encounter, as players could choose to interact with their encounter non-violently, depending on the individual encounter and the choices of the player and GM (sometimes, that NPC or monster really does just attack on sight). These aspects are only tenuously connected in many Western games, and wholly separate in most eastern ones, to the point that there are different screens for combat and everything else. Typically, random encounters only occur on The Overworld or in dungeons. If you run into a random encounter inside a town, it's likely a sign that something has Gone Horribly Wrong (unless the town is already known to be a rough neighborhood). Having to fetch little Timmy from the forest is a common sidequest, and while Timmy is generally menaced by the monster of the hour, he presumably went unnoticed by the scores of flesh-eating slugs and mobile venomous plants that harassed the player characters every 30 seconds as they went in to fetch him. (Clearly, little Timmy Took a Shortcut.) Often, there will be an item, ability, or mode of transportation that affects the encounter rate. Upping this rate can be good for Level Grinding, while abilities that shut off random encounters entirely may save the player some annoyance in the short term, but can also deprive the player of much-needed experience points to strengthen their party for the next plot-motivated battlenote In most cases, Random Encounters are not considered to be plot-centric and are just used to simulate a harsh environment. Some plot lines would not factor in to how random encounters go since they are considered outside of canon. Often the breeding ground of both Goddamn Bats and Demonic Spiders, the former moreso (and, if you're lucky, Money Spiders). Typically preceded with a Fight Woosh and succeeded with a Fanfare, with Battle Theme Music playing throughout its duration. The video game version is becoming something of a Discredited Trope nowadays, with fewer series playing it straight, and many of the big series dropping it in recent installments in favor of Pre-existing Encounters. It's still used, but it's not as universal as it used to be. Subtrope of Random Event. Overlaps with But Thou Must!, when players trying to Enjoy the Story, Skip the Game can find this infuriating. Compare Big-Lipped Alligator Moment, the film version. Contrast Pre-existing Encounters (a specific aversion where enemies can be seen on the field), and Roaming Enemy (for enemies that move and may be a Patrolling Mook, or anything which is neither this or Pre-existing Encounters). See also Encounter Bait and Encounter Repellant (for the mechanics of adjusting the rate of encounters), Escape Battle Technique (for the mechanics of avoiding them once they've started), and Fairy Battle (a variation where the random encounter isn't hostile). Player Characters are often the only people in the setting who can't walk down the street without getting jumped by monsters, thanks to NPC Random Encounter Immunity. Not to be confused with the musical troupe of the same name, who create video game-based Parody musicals.

Random Encounters / int_1aacbbc9	comment	Dragon Age: Dragon Age: Origins had an unconventional take on Random Encounters (which is ironically close to how random encounters are handled in tabletop RPGs): while traveling across the Point-and-Click Map, you could be interrupted by encounters ranging from a peaceful traveling dwarf merchant who had nice items to sell, through regular enemy ambush, to unique (i.e. not revisitable) levels that were part of a party member's character arc (and only triggered if he or she was in the active party). Furthermore, the regular enemy encounters varied depending on your progress in the main quest: for instance, you could encounter Darkspawn and receive help from a group of mages or knights if you have helped them earlier. All such instances were hand-built but they were still triggered randomly, so you couldn't anticipate which one you will blunder into next. Moreover, some of them (particularly in Denerim) were considerably harder than enemies in static levels, and the fact that you were transported directly to your original destination after them without a chance to resupply meant that you could run into a second tough battle straight away. Also, since even the character arc-relevant encounters were random, it was possible to go through the entire game (or, particularly, the expansion) and never get a chance to finish a companion's personal assignment. Dragon Age II dropped the random encounters on the global map completely (except for a single mandatory encounter late in Act II), yet introduced "random" encounters with street thugs in Kirkwall after nightfall.

Random Encounters / int_1af341a1	comment	The Disgaea series has these in the form of the various pirate crews that show up in the Item World, their strength fluctuating between being the same as the other enemies on the floor, to that of Superboss levels. They generally appear within the first few turns taken on a floor, and initially are rather rare, though after defeating a group, you get access to something that can be used to make them more common. Defeating them is a requirement for getting access to the toughest post-story content, which can be a pain, as you need to not only hope they show up in the first place, but hope that it's the right pirate crew.

Random Encounters / int_1c1ceec7	comment	In the Monster Hunter games, a quest may have an "Unstable" hunting ground. This means that randomly (or not, in some cases), a large monster will show up to complicate matters. These quests became more frequent in Monster Hunter Freedom 2 and Unite, though almost all of them consist of gathering and delivering items or killing smaller monsters, meaning that the large monster present is merely a distracting annoyance at worst. Monster Hunter 3 (Tri), however, took the trope all the way with hunting in Moga Woods, as after dealing with the initial boss monsters mentioned in the forecast, other monsters of any available type may show up randomly; also, invading monsters can now appear in quests where you already have to hunt another large monster, so the uninvited monster becomes even more concerning to the hunter (especially in high rank due to Deviljho). All subsequent games since then have retained this mechanic, which is why players are advised to carry Dung Bombs to repel any unwanted large monster and focus on the one(s) they're after.

Random Encounters / int_1ee8851e	comment	Wild ARMs 2 and Wild ARMs 3 had an interesting variation on this called "Migrant Points". Just before a random encounter, you would be alerted and given the chance to skip the battle by spending Migrant Points (which could be restored by fighting battles or picking up crystals). At higher levels, you could even skip low-level encounters for free. This system was also used in the remake of Wild ARMs, Alter Code F. Wild ARMs 4 and Wild ARMs 5 allow you to turn off random encounters in a particular area after you've "cleared" a save point (usually by fighting a battle of some kind).

Random Encounters / int_2dfb1427	comment	In the Baldur's Gate series, random encounters only occurred when transitioning between wilderness areas; all other battles were predictable. The voice dramatically intoning "you have been waylaid by enemies and must defend yourself" as a sort of Fight Woosh in the eight hour journeys between areas quickly became frustrating to the enterprising player. While random encounters may have been toned down on the overmap, enemies in each area pretty much teleported in wherever the Fog of War covered them. This meant that if you stood around doing nothing, you wouldn't run into anyone, but if you walked back and forth (even into a sealed cul-de-sac) you would end up fighting infinite amounts of enemies (and generating truly absurd heaps of corpses).

Random Encounters / int_2f203125	comment	Shin Megami Tensei games that have Random Encounters are pretty infamous for this - it's undeniable that, good or not, the rate is INSANELY high, to the point of physical pain. While this is "good" in terms that "adds to the games' Nintendo Hardness", playing Shin Megami Tensei I for 5 hours straight can test a man's sanity. It's good that there's a ton of them, because they drop Magnetite, needed for sustaining your party. There are exceptions: Persona 3 and Persona 4 allow you to see and attack enemies (portrayed as blobs and floating balls called "Shadows") on the field. As they are a mix of turn-based RPG and turn-based strategy, Devil Survivor and Devil Survivor 2 also do not feature Random Encounters, as you see them on the field and the game will even notify you if picking a certain event on the Overworld will lead to a battle. In spite of Persona 3 and Persona 4 having no random encounters, Persona and Persona 2 are full of them. Pointed out and lampshaded in Persona where a party member points out how the demons can attack people at any time and yet their group is always the ones to be attacked. Shin Megami Tensei IV is the first game in the main series to not feature Random Encounters at all, having enemies show up on the map. Attacking them will deal a bit of damage to all enemies.

On the bottom right corner of the screen, there's a circle that changes colour depending on how close you are to encountering an enemy. This can be reset via switching floors and going back on the first game, but only gives you a few free steps in the third. It's even entirely possible for the player to take a few win a battle, take a few steps, then enter another battle four steps later! Alternatively, it's possible to go through an entire floor without encountering a single enemy. Fortunately, there are skills that decrease (or increase) the encounter rate. The Farmers in 3 even have a skill that temporarily removes random encounters entirely!

These are unavoidable, and will occur whenever triggered regardless of your outdoorsman skill. This exists in the original Fallout games, including the tactical simulator Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel. In addition to using your Outdoorsman skill to give the fight or ignore choice, your Luck stat indicates how often you'll get a Special Encounter over a random one. Some players just roam the landscape for weeks until they have a specific Special Encounter that grants them uniqe items like the alien gun, one of the best energy weapons in the game.

Random Encounters / int_4be1bdd0	comment	Golden Sun: Used constantly, where you'd get into fights every few steps if your party's level was below or around the levels of the enemies. Being higher leveled reduces the encounter rate. Using a certain spell/item also helped reduced the encounter rate, depending on your level. One piece of equipment actually increases the encounter rate. The piece of equipment in question, however, is incredibly useful near the end of the second game, because you will need to level-grind to beat the superbosses, and the best place for doing so has a below-average encounter rate. Annoyingly enough, it's only available in the first game, so people who threw it away going "the encounter rate is high enough, thank you very much" (or didn't transfer data at all) end up having to spend even more time doing so than everyone else. To the dev's credit, they do usually turn off random encounters (or turn the rates down) in rooms with particularly difficult puzzles, which makes it a great deal less frustrating than it would have been. If the puzzle in question spans the entire dungeon cough elemental rocks cough, you're out of luck.

In random dungeons and some stages, this is a random selection of enemies and items. In addition, there's the chance that the new expansion will trigger an event that changes the enemies featured (such as a group of vampires or a Drill Tank), imposes a status effect on every character on the stage, or both, such as the "I've got NO Motivation" event, which fills the new area with a bunch of female enemies carrying cakes instead of weapons, but also hits everybody with a status effect that keeps them from gaining experience.

These enemies appeared on the field and chased you, and if they caught you, well, you'd have to fight them. Destiny and Eternia, similarly, used Random Encounters, but had some segments were you could chase or be chased around by something on the field. Most Tales games offer items that allow you to increase or decrease the encounter rate. Tales of Innocence exists halfway between random and pre-existing encounters. Enemies appear on screen beforehand, but they materialize randomly, often times directly on top of the player.

Random Encounters / int_59da62aa	comment	Fallout: New Vegas has forsaken random encounters entirely. While scripted encounters still exist, such as NCR or Legion death squads if either of them dislike you, they happen at fixed points. The weirder Special Encounters largely replace more mundane ones, and are accessed via the Wild Wasteland Trait (for example, Wild Wasteland replaces an ambush by some well-equipped Mercenaries with a battle with three crash-landed aliens). The trade off is funnier moments happening but losing out on powerful weapons: for example, in Camp Searchlight's East Chapel basement there's two mini nukes on the table (out of a platry 14) but with Wild Wasteland there are 3 holy hand grenades. It's considered better to have the Mini Nukes because even without Gun Runner's Arsenal allowing you to buy more, the Holy Hand Grenades pop with the power of a Mini Nuke but with the range of a regular grenade. With the Loose Cannon trait reducing velocity by 25% and Splash Damage perk giving explosions 25% more range you are very likely to get caught in the blast an at least have your armor destroyed in the process. "Hit the Deck"'s +25 Damage Threshold against explosives and "Heave, Ho!"'s +50% to range is useless against 800 points of damage (espically if you have +20% damage from "Demolition Expert").

Random Encounters / int_629cd094	comment	Dragon Age: Origins had an unconventional take on Random Encounters (which is ironically close to how random encounters are handled in tabletop RPGs): while traveling across the Point-and-Click Map, you could be interrupted by encounters ranging from a peaceful traveling dwarf merchant who had nice items to sell, through regular enemy ambush, to unique (i.e. not revisitable) levels that were part of a party member's character arc (and only triggered if he or she was in the active party). Furthermore, the regular enemy encounters varied depending on your progress in the main quest: for instance, you could encounter Darkspawn and receive help from a group of mages or knights if you have helped them earlier. All such instances were hand-built but they were still triggered randomly, so you couldn't anticipate which one you will blunder into next. Moreover, some of them (particularly in Denerim) were considerably harder than enemies in static levels, and the fact that you were transported directly to your original destination after them without a chance to resupply meant that you could run into a second tough battle straight away. Also, since even the character arc-relevant encounters were random, it was possible to go through the entire game (or, particularly, the expansion) and never get a chance to finish a companion's personal assignment.

Random Encounters / int_699f37a1	comment	Silent Storm has these on the map in real-time. The frequency and types of encounters are dependent on the current region. Some appear for up to a minute, while others show up for only a few seconds. Two of the rarer kind of encounters are of note. One pits you against an enemy squad, commanded by a Japanese officer (in Western Europe!). Killing him nets you his shurikens and katana. Another encounter involves a UFO, surrounded by THO troops in Panzerkleins. Additionally, an energy rifle can be found near the craft that is the Ã¼ber version of the single-shot energy weapon carried by some THO troops, as it has full auto and a 50-shot power cell. That cell can then be taken back to the base and replicated for use by the said rifle, as well as energy cannon Panzerkleins. The energy rifle is an obvious Shout-Out to X-COM.

Random Encounters / int_6be52549	comment	In West of Loathing dungeon encounters are predefined, but encounters on the world map are randon, and the game truly shines there (behaving a lot like its predecessor, browser MORPG Kingdom of Loathing). Unlike many games, random encounters don't automatically mean combat. You can talk your way out of most of them. There are 3 special skills for that: Intimidatin', Outfoxin' and Hornswogglin' — for fighter, mage and rogue classes respectively. Normally, you get 1 event for every "wandering" around a location or for every journey between known locations. As you explore a region, the base encounter probability for journeys eventually falls from 95% to 35%. Encounter Baits are numerous. There are items, skills and perks that affect frequency and severity of encounters: Ring of Gettin' Places Faster reduces overall encounter frequency. Ring of Inconspicuousness gives more non-combat encounters and fewer opportunities to fight. Floral ring gives more "foraging" encounters, that allow to pick plants to use as buffs (all food is buffs in this game). Serpentine ring, spider ring, bone-chip ring, cow-catcher ring and El Vibrato rings increase probabilities to meet corresponding monsters: snakes, spiders, skeletons, demonic cows and ancient robots. Choosing a horse in the prologue allows to pick between: normal encounters, an option to run away from nearly anything (skittish dark horse), more undead (ghostly pale horse) or more weird events with faster exploration (crazy horse). Some encounters are only possible with some perk. This includes curses. Some encounters simply give you loot, although you may have to be sufficiently prepared to take it: have some item (needle, pick...), have some skill (lock picking, foraging, goblin tongue...), have sufficiently high stats (like Might for helping haul a wagon). Companions give extra solutions for some encounters: Gary the Gobiln deals with goblins, Doc Alice heals, Susie fixes things.

Random Encounters / int_6c1d09b3	comment	Fallout 3 has a variation of this — there are multiple pre-determined points that can spawn random random and/or special encounters, and walking close enough to them will cause an encounter to be randomly picked off a list and spawn. The random encounters are typically attacks by raiders or mercenaries (which mercenaries you get depends on your Karma; Mister Burke will hire evil Talon Company mercs to assassinate a Good character, while the freelance cops called Regulators will take it upon themselves to put an Evil character down), while Special Encounters run the gamut from two wasters fighting over a refridgerator full of clean water to a flying saucer exploding overhead. This is a mixed bag, as some impressive equipment can be withheld from the player at random (the aforementioned UFO, for example, drops a unique laser pistol that sets the target on fire), or cause tough encounters to spawn very early (as anyone who's had the "wounded Deathclaw" spawn in front of the Super Duper Mart you visit around level 4 can tell you).

Random Encounters / int_76b8cb10	comment	The Fallout series has random encounters while traveling. A good enough outdoorsman skill, along with a perk and a specific inventory item, increases the chance that, should you happen upon some enemies, you'll get a choice of whether to fight them or avoid them. It is not possible however to eliminate forced encounters entirely. Even a maxed-out outdoorsman skill won't give the fight-or-avoid choice every time. There are also Special Encounters, where something out-of-the-ordinary occurs (often not involving any battle at all). These are unavoidable, and will occur whenever triggered regardless of your outdoorsman skill. This exists in the original Fallout games, including the tactical simulator Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel. In addition to using your Outdoorsman skill to give the fight or ignore choice, your Luck stat indicates how often you'll get a Special Encounter over a random one. Some players just roam the landscape for weeks until they have a specific Special Encounter that grants them uniqe items like the alien gun, one of the best energy weapons in the game. Fallout 3 has a variation of this — there are multiple pre-determined points that can spawn random random and/or special encounters, and walking close enough to them will cause an encounter to be randomly picked off a list and spawn. The random encounters are typically attacks by raiders or mercenaries (which mercenaries you get depends on your Karma; Mister Burke will hire evil Talon Company mercs to assassinate a Good character, while the freelance cops called Regulators will take it upon themselves to put an Evil character down), while Special Encounters run the gamut from two wasters fighting over a refridgerator full of clean water to a flying saucer exploding overhead.

Random Encounters / int_9f89a5f0	comment	In all mainline PokÃ©mon games until the end of Gen VII, outdoor areas generally limited encounters to areas of tall grass, giving the player some ability to limit how often they have to fight a wild PokÃ©mon; on the other hand, wild PokÃ©mon can show up at any time when exploring underground caverns or surfing across bodies of water. It is also standard practice for shops to sell "Repel" items that will temporarily prevent encounters with lower-level PokÃ©mon. PokÃ©mon Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! at the end of Gen VII abolished these in favor of Pre-existing Encounters. Gen VIII would see a mixture of the styles — PokÃ©mon Sword and Shield used both methods, PokÃ©mon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl only used random encounters, and PokÃ©mon Legends: Arceus only used preexisting — while Gen IX onward would forego random encounters entirely.

Random Encounters / int_a81325d3	comment	Final Fantasy games are pretty well-known for this. Several of the titles provide an ability which reduces the frequency of random encounters, or stops them altogether, to save the player's sanity. While Final Fantasy is notorious for its high encounter rate, some of its more infamous battles were not due to Random Encounters at all but specific squares (often in front of important treasure chests) that were 'spiked' to always generate an encounter there, and usually against monsters otherwise not native to the dungeon. Final Fantasy XII has followed the rest of the RPG world and gotten rid of them, though. There are some who feel that the Final Fantasy games increase the random encounter rate right next to save points. While Final Fantasy XIII doesn't have random encounters, its direct sequel does (though, given that direct sequel's Time Travel storyline, it's justified). Behold, an explanation of the random battles! Recent Final Fantasy rereleases make the random encounters optional, for those who wish to Enjoy the Story, Skip the Game.

These are random in a sense that they pop up upon visiting a node for the first time, and the enemies are not included in the initial list of enemies in a given node.

Random Encounters / int_c14f68c	comment	Breath of Death VII and Cthulhu Saves the World feature these, but with the twist that each location had the set amount of random encounters per area (i.e. first dungeon featuring 25 random encounters, Very Definitely Final Dungeon featuring 50, world map featuring 200, etc.). After the amount of random encounters reaches zero, the random encounters will end, but the player can still trigger an encounter manually by selecting "Fight" option from the menu.

Random Encounters / int_c2463c46	comment	While Final Fantasy is notorious for its high encounter rate, some of its more infamous battles were not due to Random Encounters at all but specific squares (often in front of important treasure chests) that were 'spiked' to always generate an encounter there, and usually against monsters otherwise not native to the dungeon.

Random Encounters / int_cc119ff2	comment	As the introduction already hints at, originally wandering monsters were a means to keep the player characters moving through the dungeon. Early D&D was almost more a "heist" game; the goal was to liberate as much treasure as you could from the dungeon (because that's where the real XP came from), not fight every single monster it might contain (which yielded comparatively little if any XP but at potentially much greater risk and cost to the player characters). Wandering monsters rarely had significant treasure, so the incentive was to avoid them, and the best way to do that was to not linger overlong and avoid drawing attention to the party's presence. As the paradigm of role-playing games shifted away from the Dungeon Crawl, the original reason behind random encounters became increasingly lost, but many games and scenarios nonetheless kept the practice alive simply out of habit.

Random Encounters / int_ccf3511	comment	Drakkhen was notorious for an absurdly high encounter rate. Every few seconds, you would get random encounters with exceedingly deadly monsters, which made navigating the overworld and traveling between dungeons a royal pain in the ass. Hell, even if you were just standing still and minding your own business, something might decide to jump out of nowhere and annihilate you. Traveling at night made this even worse, since the monsters were noticeably tougher, and beasts could fly down from the constellations, each of which was a Boss in Mook's Clothing.

Random Encounters / int_d4f13028	comment	Elona has various types: At any time while walking around, you have a chance of getting a random event. These are usually beneficial things such as a wandering priest giving you divine protection, a rich man throwing gold at you, or stumbling upon some items, although bad things such as thieves stealing some of your gold or smelling something that makes you hungry might also happen. While traveling on the world map, you have a chance to get into an ambush, which places you in the middle of a wilderness zone and surrounds you with random monsters which are usually easy for your current level. To escape, you must reach the edge of the area, which lets you leave the wilderness and return to travelling. Defeating all the monsters is optional. The world map also has bandit gangs, which are usually much more dangerous than normal ambushes. You can choose to hand over a big chunk of your gold and all cargo items you have if you don't think you can take on the bandits. If you can reach the edge of the wilderness zone, you can also escape from these.
