Aquatic Illusions evolution recipe
The Aquatic Illusions evolution starts with the Nebulous Sea-Fog in Age of Sigmar runs. You need the Bugman's Tankard at any level.
Multiple launch-week guides list this pairing. This is a source cross-check, not a claim that this site tested the recipe in game.
How do you get Aquatic Illusions?
This pairing is for Age of Sigmar runs. A familiar passive can lead to a different recipe in the other universe, so check the universe label before building around it.
Aquatic Illusions evolution checklist: use the Nebulous Sea-Fog, carry Bugman's Tankard at any level, and open a boss or elite chest. This is the core requirement set for the Aquatic Illusions evolution in Age of Sigmar runs.
- Base weapon: Nebulous Sea-Fog; max level is required before its evolution step.
- Passive: Bugman's Tankard at any level.
- Chest: a boss or elite chest after the requirements are ready.
- Result: replaces the base weapon (standard evolution).
Step by step
Keep the weapon, passive and eligible chest requirements in view together. A matching weapon and passive do not trigger an evolution by themselves; the chest is the final step.
- Level the Nebulous Sea-Fog to max. Most weapons max out at level 8.
- Pick up the Bugman's Tankard. Any level works, so you do not need to upgrade it.
- Open a boss or elite chest. Kill a boss or elite enemy and open the chest it drops. If the weapon and passive are both ready, the chest gives you Aquatic Illusions.
Other weapons the Bugman's Tankard evolves
- In Warhammer 40,000 runs, the Bugman's Tankard evolves the Shield of Faith into Emperor's Wrath.
