Purple Haze Feedback
Sometime before the main storyline, Illuso killed Sheila E's sister. This spurs her to join Passione for revenge.

Vento Aureo
Illuso was first introduced when Abbachio, Giorno Giovanna and Pannacotta Fugo went to pick up a key in Pompei. It was there that Illuso ambushed them when Fugo saw him in a mirror. Fugo attempted to save his friends and was pulled into the "Mirror World". Illuso stepped in behind a corner pillar and then challenged Fugo himself. After awhile Fugo couldn't do anything to stop Illuso. Illuso, bored of Fugo, goes to find Abbachio and then pulled him in, only to realize that he had pulled in Moody Blues instead. Abbachio finds out that if he activates his stand in the "Mirror World", he can control his stand in the real world. Illuso, however, still defeats Abbachio and goes to where Giorno is, and then becomes frightened when he sees Purple Haze. After another long fight with Fugo, he is killed by Purple Haze's virus.

Golden Whirlwind (PS2)
Illuso is the enemy faced on chapters 5, 6 and 7. Illuso's main tactis is changing between "normal" and "mirror" world, using this ability he will teletransport between mirriors in the stage, throwing several broken glasses at the player. Another tactic of him envolves using his stand, Man In The Mirror, to grab the opponent and cut their throat. He's a middle-long range type of enemy.

During chapter 5 you play as Fugo without his stand, Purple Haze, during the fight the player needs to survive for 50 seconds, also the left and right bottons are inverted (since Fugo is in the world "inside the mirror). In chapter 6 you play as Abbachio, unlike the previous chapter you can use a stand, Moody Blues, the player only needs to damage Illuso until he reaches the middle of his lifebar (no inverted buttons in this chapter).

However it's during chapter 7 you truly face Illuso, using Fugo again (with inverted buttons), since Illuso keeps changing between "normal" and "mirror" worlds, Fugo will fight in mirror world and Purple Haze will fight in "normal" world. Illuso's 3rd battle is available on "ANOTHER STORY", where you can play as Giorno, Narancia, TrIsh or Buccellati (all of them will have inverted commands).
