How Do I Trigger the Encounter in the Nether?

-

I’m stuck on a specific encounter in the Nether and I can’t figure out how to start it. There’s an indicator that’s pointing to a black spiky ball, but despite waiting, nothing happens. I’ve tried this encounter a couple of times now and haven’t seen any enemies spawn. I’ve completed other runs before this, so I feel like I’ve done this right in the past. Is this a bug, or is there something I’m missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It sounds like you need to shoot those orange blobs! It can be really frustrating since the game doesn’t give clear hints about what to do. Just start firing at them and see what happens.

Yeah, you should definitely be shooting at the yellow balls too. They’re easy to miss since they don’t look like much, but that’s the trick!

Oh, that’s it!? How are we supposed to know that? They just seem like background stuff! The indicator is pointing to the black spiky thing, not the blobs!
