DrEuthanasia Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 I've tried every trick I could find to get the Stalker to show up. I've killed every boss in the game solo, even the robots, done countless missions by simply skipping all combat to blitz through them as fast as possible, waited what has now been days for some alleged timer to tick down, and this guy just won't grace me with the barest hint of his smoke-covered posterior. The documentation on this whole thing is extremely poor, so now I'm coming to you guys. What am I not doing right here, aside from keeping a healthy grasp on my own sanity?

SolluxCaptorTA Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Sacrificing to the RNG Gods. He appears completely randomly, and not often, so you just have to keep running and wait. (And pray to aforementioned gods.) I'm in the same boat, buddy. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunaticked Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 (edited) When I Stalker farmed (I...actually had all 3 of his drops drop 1 after the other. RNG gods loved me) what I did was speed through Golem's stage, take him out, finish the stage and then go run M Prime until Stalker showed up. Usually took 1-2 runs. After killing him, go kill Golem again. Rinse and repeat. Edit: And do this SOLO. I think the person who gets the last hit on a boss gets the Stalker 'trigger'.

StudioZero Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 I had to farm Tyl Regor 67 times to get him to show up, and when he did, I didn't get any weapons even when I killed him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kespertive Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Showed up for me last weekend, and was gone ever sinceIt seems to me that he only shows up on Corpus ships (my experience...) I haven't seen him anywhere else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guymanbrodude Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Extermination missions. Early ones. Kill the enemies, it shouldn't be a problem, and if he decides to show up you won't have too much fighting going on around you. Other mission types might swarm you with grunts while trying to fight him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TehLaggy Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 There's no timer at all, you just have a chance of seeing Stalker after you've killed a boss. Honestly, his entire design is meant to PREVENT farming due to his utter randomness and infrequency of appearance. As long as you've killed a boss recently (like... ever - he has a freaking long memory, I've had him come after me days after I killed a boss he references) he has a chance of showing up. It's honestly saner to play normally and just kill him when he decides to grace you with his presence than try to deliberately spam missions hoping he'll appear.

Other mission types might swarm you with grunts while trying to fight him. Being swarmed by grunts doesn't bother me at all. In fact, I would be happy to fight 20 Stalkers at once. At least then I'd have an opportunity to kill him. When I Stalker farmed (I...actually had all 3 of his drops drop 1 after the other.

You have no idea how many times I've visited M Prime over the past three days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only Hate and Despair. I'm getting pretty close to both, as you may imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafilgar Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 don't expect him to come. just play how you normally do. The more you're expecting the stalker, the more frustrating you're going to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killist Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 It's random. I've killed every boss 20~80 times and spent about 250 hours in game. Saw stalker ~15 times in total Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fauxhb Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 when i killed all the bosses solo, he came after me pretty soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrEuthanasia Posted May 30, 2013 Author Share Posted May 30, 2013 Is there any benefit to playing solo, aside from the ability to complete missions at your own pace? Logic would dictate that a group consisting entirely of people who have soloed each boss running the same mission would have the highest chance of encountering the Stalker - higher than any one of them on their own.

Asla Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 (edited) My way : Solo titania (ash boss) Then solo Cordelia one or two time, he spawns, Repeat (doing this combo on Uranus cuz i am looking for plastids) Edited May 30, 2013 by Asla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bakim0n0 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 It may be pure superstition but what I do, with good results...farm a boss 3 timesrestart client (log out first)run random defense missionI get like a solid 40% success rate give or take... but it could just be pure coincidence.

Viziroth Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 What is this stalker you're talking about? I think the reason you aren't finding it is because you're chasing something imaginary. It's like going on a leprechaun hunt, you're not going to succeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teleo Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 I've seen him like 8 or 9 times, got two despairs and two dreads. 2 times he's shown for me individually. Soloing DECREASES his spawn rate, each player has their own individual chance to "proc" the stalker encounter, since only 1 player gets the dialogue from him.
