l asked this question on BBG but so far have no reply so l am asking it here.

The January 2016 FAQ Errata lists the Haunter of the Dark Mystery Card as incorrect. Has this card been corrected in the later printings of Under the Pyramids and if so what is the correct wording of this card now?

Hey alboy,

Your latest print should be correct:

From the FAQ/Errata:

"From the Under the Pyramids expansion, the Haunter of the

Dark Mystery card’s effect should read as follows: “When
this card enters play, spawn the Haunter of the Dark Epic
Monster on Arkham. An investigator on Arkham chooses
an encounter as if the Epic Monster is not on his space
unless he has the Shining Trapezohedron Artifact.”"
The old card said something along the lines of:
"Unless the active investigator has the Shining Trapezohedron Artifact the Haunter of the Dark cannot lose Health"
This lead to an issue where the someone would fight the Epic, die and then the artifact would be "stuck" on the Epic's space.
It is also intended that you be able to Encounter Arkham normally unless you have the artifact
In the book the Haunter comes for you when you have the Shining Trapezohedron.
To read where I stole all this info from:
So in short, you need the Artifact to be able to Encounter it, but you still can't rest/shop on the space.
Hope that helps!
