Just found Purple Horror after maintainance

Okey so I've been farming this dude for nearly a week now, it just won't spawn. Me and my friend have tried everything, and I mean EVERYTHING. If there is a combination of different colors - we have tried it. Other sources state that this monster cannot be on an absurd spawn-timer either, and it must be a trigger. However I found one very easy way to do this, and it proves that one specific theory may be correct.

I logged in a few minutes ago on my zelot to continue the hunt. The first thing I noticed was this:

There where ALOT more horrors than the same time yesterday before maintainance - nearly twice as many; and often in groups of three or four monsters. I decided (knowing that whatever I did would probably not work) to thin the numbers down. After three pulls of three horrors (as many as I can take at once without breaking a sweat) there had been three horrors spawned. One of these; the third - were a Purple Horror. It spawned at the exact same place I had previously killed one of the horrors.

My theory is thus this, and it explains a lot of the mysteries people are experiencing with this monster spawn.

The spawn triggers from killing Horrors, possibly differently colored ones. However... this was after servers came up after maintainance - suggesting that this monster-trigger bugs, or is easily broken somehow.

If you're going to hunt for this one, make sure you're out early after maintainance or server crashes. Good luck
Spawn trigger

Supposedly if you kill a pink and blue horror at the exact same moment the purple will spawn, i have tested this and haven't had it work yet. please post if you get it to work.
Where the heck is he?

I have killed every horror in the courtyard, pink and blue, a dozen times over and still no purple horror. :(

Is he off the actual courtyard? I have looked around but cannot find him.

I've killed a thousand horrors here now. It can't be a timed or random spawn, most likely has a trigger that no one has figured out yet.
