Playing Hardcore:
Today I killed an Enraged Phantom in Festering Woods, it was yellow, a rare, Kauza Warcaller; and did not get credit for the kill in my Trophy Hunting achievement log.
I’ve run Festering Wood and Decaying Crypt and Mysterious Cave for days … first yellow I’ve seen (lots of blues). So I’m a bit miffed I didn’t get credit. Also killed a yellow named ghost in Mysterious Cave; no credit for that kill either (by the look of it I presume it was a Deathly Haunt or Enraged Phantom).
As for the name aspect, I killed a yellow Skull Sword earlier, also had a name, and got credit for that kill. So no clue why these ghosts failed.
So question is: has anyone gotten credit for killing the yellow ghosts Deathly Haunt or Enraged Phantom ??
And I have not seen any Deathly Haunt ghosts of any level anywhere. All of them have been enraged phantoms - white, blue, yellow.
Sometimes it takes time between killing the mob and the tickbox in the achievement getting the tick in it. I’ve done this achievement myself and I know it will eventually work. My only tip, if you’re not already doing so, is to ensure that you’re running the maps with Nemesis bracers on, so that any pylons you find also have a chance to spawn yellow packs of the mobs you’re hunting.
Good luck.

Is wasn’t any delay. Just a poor spawn rate. First run after donning Nemesis - poof - the right mob spawned at the right zone. Thank you! Finished both Trophy Hunting and We Are the Champions.
Getting the Gibbering Gemstone on the other hand … sheesh … 25 spawns of Chiltara, more than 40 runs of Frozen Caverns, several of which were quests for Chiltara. But, I have my Hardcore Staff of Herding.

I wanted to share exactly what worked for me.
This was the last monster I needed for the Hardcore Trophy Hunting achievement on two different accounts.
Here was my farming route:
· Adventure Mode
· Act I
· I ran both Fields of Misery and The Festering Woods every game.
· I activated every Shrine/Pylon I found in both areas while wearing Nemesis Bracers.
· In Fields of Misery, I also checked every game to see if the Decaying Crypt had spawned.
After several unsuccessful runs, the Decaying Crypt finally appeared.
I entered the dungeon, activated the first Shrine/Pylon inside the Decaying Crypt, and the Nemesis elite pack that spawned contained the Enraged Phantom. The Trophy Hunting achievement unlocked immediately on both accounts.
I had already completed multiple runs activating Shrines/Pylons in both Fields of Misery and The Festering Woods without success. The Enraged Phantom only appeared for me from the Shrine/Pylon inside the Decaying Crypt.
Hopefully this helps someone else who’s been searching for years like I was. Good luck!
