  5. Control+F: About the queue, banishers, and olfaction
  6.  
  7. ```The Haunted Billiard room has 2 combats--the wraith and the golem.
  8. On your first turn, if the game rolls a combat, there is a 50% chance to encounter either monster, because the "zone pool" is two monsters, and 100/2 is 50.
  9. On your second turn, the monster you encountered last takes one of 5 total "zone slots". These five slots are known as the "queue".
  10. Monsters in the queue have a 75% rejection chance. This means that if the game rolls that monster, there is a 75% chance the monster will be rejected, and the game will reroll the monster again, and a 25% chance that you still get the monster.
  11. Whenever a monster is rejected, the game selects from the zone pool again. It could reroll the same monster that it just rejected, and it would either reject or accept it.
  12. This, in theory, could happen until the cap of 100 rerolls.
  13. Now, let's pretend that we use Transcendent Olfaction on the first wraith that we see.
  14. The zone pool becomes the wraith, the golem, wraith olfaction copy 1, wraith olfaction copy 2 and wraith olfaction copy 3.
  15. This effectively means the zone has gone from two monsters to five monsters.
  16. But, on top of that, olfaction also removes the rejection rate of ALL COPIES of the monster it was used on. From ANY source.
  17. So even if you have a wraith in the queue (the zone's five "slots"), it no longer has any rejection.
  18. This means if the game rolls a wraith or rerolls a rejected golem into a wraith, you will get a wraith, regardless of it being in the queue.
  19. Remember that the queue is only five, and almost all the time, monsters you encounter in a zone are added to the queue of that specific zone.
  20. Similarly, you can push a monster out of the queue by not encountering it for five turns, which would obviously remove the rejection chance.```
