And neither is the Haunted Forest. People are reporting it as being associated (or improving chances) but it is definitely not required.

Just going by what I read and what worked for me.

Don't trust everything you read on Two-Tailed Fox News, man.

Supposedly if anyone on your team has popped it, you should be good to go. Last year it just happened on its own all the time, so it may just be a bug that you can do it without a consumable, but eh, it's not an expensive one either way. They key is just to ADS for a while.
