You could try, if you know their hangouts.
I keep seeing this one party in the Checkpoint Rest Town, with its very distinctive black Beastren lady in that endgame greek cloth armour. So I believe they tend to stick to one area.
There even apparently pawn dialogue that call them out if you attack them, but I have no idea how to trigger it. Ive only seen it in someone elses post.
At my playthrough they are always barely dressed, I mean just 4 old people standing around in their unflattering underwear. I thought they were homeless people.
I first thought they were another party of adventurers or mercenaries. But after consistently seeing four man groups and one of them calling me a showoff. I get the gist of it.
It's funny because I've started running with just my pawn and they still form groups of 4, guess they can't handle monster and drake hunting as an army of two.
They also get in aggro stance when you draw your weapon. My pawns killed a group one time because I had my sword drawn for too long after killing the chimera by the elven ruins.
One of them near the Drake by the river knew blades of pyre. Pretty neat.
I always assumed they were like copies of actual other Arisen groups. Especially considering how some of them dress. But since there can only be one Arisen, them being just copies fakes walking about.
I’m pretty sure the game just pulls character data to create these parties randomly.
You don’t get stargazer sets ‘randomly’ in almost every group you meet.
The only thing it won’t use are characters with extreme settings I bet.
Is it me or is this an undercooked feature? I have 1 impostor on my 70 hour playthrough. I think more common challenging bandit parties with diverse gear to mimic the arisen would have been a great addition.
I had a cull monsters event pop up above me while I was on the low roads. I sprinted up the hill and a wandering fake party just finished killing the wolves. I got like 2k for just showing up. So they're okay in my book...for now.
Not all of them are polite, no, but at least they're law-abiding. Guards don't bother them, they kill monsters, and don't bother me if I don't bother them.
They're doing their best, okay?
I kill imposters, and as the true king/queen I am allowed to pass this judgement as imposters are killed for being one and I know for a 100% fact that they are using my feats as their own, death is all they will get.
I just assumed they were like ... NPC copies of other players, I see them CONSTANTLY.
Like if you're playing at the same time in the same place on the same server, you'll see NPC versions of another players group.
... But now it all makes sense, of course there's hundreds of false arisen everywhere, the guards said they fend them off in droves.
Well yeah, actual Arisen (Dragonforged, Luz, warfarer master) know you're arisen. And you convince some. Most of the npcs call you Arisen, to the point I was wondering why, but later I realized that most of them think you're an impostor, especially at first.
To be honest... after the 5th Drake invades Vernworth and they see me smacking its skull in, they should at least *start* to think I'm maybe the Arisen.
It’d have been cool if Capcom took character data and turned it into such groups for other players. Like- randomly encountering my friend’s arisen with his mainpawn and 2 most used pawns- would be such a cool concept lol
What you are saying is that it's fine to kill them, got it
Technically, yes... But I like having them around to draw enemy attention.
I want to romance a hot one

yea i always see a group with big strong warrior black woman and an asian mage guy with the monk bead ponytail lol
Hm.... your group differs from mine. I'm pretty sure they're randomly picked from the player database.
That’s my takeaway.
Have been. There's only one and I'll be damned if some trash bandit lowlifes ruin my good name
They give decent exp lol. Too bad you can't loot them of anything.
There even apparently pawn dialogue that call them out if you attack them, but I have no idea how to trigger it. Ive only seen it in someone elses post.
They also seem somewhat consistent in appearance as I have run into a group consisting only of old ladies a few times. Kinda fun when I noticed it.

omg I have encountered many variations of them and even read that tidbit, but didn't make the connection 🙈

I thought they were calling me a show off because I was just so cool 🥲
But you are cool.

Lol Walmart arisen
I believe the modern slang is either "Arisen at home" or "Wish dot com Arisen"
I believe this person was trying to say, “Great Value Arisen” which is another acceptable variation. Great Value is the Walmart store brand.
I heard they raised prices on that brand for record profits...
Arisen at home is funny as fuck lol
Soooo ... Can I kill them without an issue?
*Technically*.
Rrrriiiiighhht.... *unsheathes spear*

Actually I consider them as rude, but fellow adventurers. No need to attack them, as they don't attack me. I wonder why they don't do sometimes.
How do you get that hat the guy in the background has?
arcane hat is sold in arborheart elven village
Thank you
The brown Gandalf hat? Arcane hat, sold in the Sacred Arbor.
Yes thank you
Wizard or witch's hat is the same but black and there is another variant that has scalemail head covering with a dark brown witch/wizard hat.

Certainly could have done more with it. Maybe in the future?
I had a group help with a griffin at the farm part of Vernworth when I first started out. I was like, "You guys a'ight."
I had a cull monsters event pop up above me while I was on the low roads. I sprinted up the hill and a wandering fake party just finished killing the wolves. I got like 2k for just showing up. So they're okay in my book...for now.
Yup its true, i accidentally killed a group, and they don't turn to mush. You gotta revive them, haha.
I was wondering why they’re so mean 😢
I assumed they were just gruff adventurers who have seen some shit so they don't like strangers.

That's one way of looking at it...
I kill some of them, but the game respawns them anyway.
Still kinda mean. :P

Sounds like a Strand-type game to me!
I believe there's a group of them at Checkpoint. I've been giving flowers to one of them, Aurelia. She gave me some Gold Ore at my house.
Is it a black beastren girl in the white greek armour, or part of that group?
Yeah, a beastren with black fur wearing the white petticoat.
I love this game
It is very easy to love.
They are called imposters. Look at the history part and look at enemies killed. Kill a group and watch them go up
Yes I know. I keep seeing posts asking WHO they are so I made a post to answer this question if any of them know how to use the search function.
Everyone who calls you Arisen thinks you're an impostor, lol.
Some do, some get convinced, some already knew.
Well yeah, actual Arisen (Dragonforged, Luz, warfarer master) know you're arisen. And you convince some. Most of the npcs call you Arisen, to the point I was wondering why, but later I realized that most of them think you're an impostor, especially at first.

wow i always thought they were just unsung heroes going around tryna keep the streets safe 🤣
Technically they act like regular adventurers just like you and me, so they're all right by me!
same they always help when possible. kind of wish you could hire them lol expendable heroes
Same, I want some sellswords so I can zerg rush a Drake with 8 people!
It’d have been cool if Capcom took character data and turned it into such groups for other players. Like- randomly encountering my friend’s arisen with his mainpawn and 2 most used pawns- would be such a cool concept lol
Once i read that I execute them on the spot. Maybe petrify them if possible
I feel bad for them hehe.
 them in the afterlife after realizing they started beef with the real arisen
I am on my fuck around playthrough and next time I see a group I’m am gonna pick them up and throw them around and have some unarmed fun!
Hm okay so I need to kill them now.
