Defeat the ghosts that will stand in your way and head to the Creepy Castle to defeat the Witchqueen Gwenfara and her minions!

​

Keep in mind that enemies in this map can only be defeated when using Light Essence or having the Ghost Festival Event Attire active (more info about it below).

Ghost Festival – Return of the Dead
​

Quick Overview

Required level:	20-55
Duration:	23rd of October 12:00 CEST – 8th of November 23:59 CEST

Event Summary:
Beware the beast, it eats flesh. Beware the beast, it brings the dead…

Evil Spirits!
Enter Darkwood Path and search first for Lord Pomeroy, a Quest keeper, who will provide you with the quest “The Wendigo” and head to the Decayed Graveyard. Keep in mind that you need to interact first with the Summoning Slate to get the Salamander Blaze buff in order not to die and deal damage to the Wiedergänger monsters and Wendigo itself. We suggest you to make the mini event in a group, because it lowers the time you spend on the event, due to the faster interacting with the Spell Circles and the less resource cost, also spending the first days of the event in event resources farming, such as Sophia’s Remedy, Light Essences, Ghost Fire, Life Force etc., so that you are well-prepared for the mini event and for the main event in general.

Decayed Graveyard
This is the part of Darkwood Path, where you drop Scary Skull, the progress item for the mini event. Before proceeding with the challenges there, you need to interact first with the Summoning Slate. There are 5 minutes, 15 minutes and 30 minutes version of it, each one costs 50x Ghost fire, the only difference is the greatness of the loot you are going to receive after defeating Wendigo with each one of the buffs you choose, meaning the one with the shortest time will provide you with the greatest loot. There are 6 Wiedergänger Keeper. When you enter the Graveyard, a Wiedergänger Keeper will appear on one of them and you must chase him and interact with the Wiedergänger Spell Circles where he appears (3 times in total). After you clear and the last Spell Circle where he appears, Wendigo will appear, the legendary evil spirit.

​

Wendigo
This is the main boss of the Ghost Festival – Return of the Dead mini event. It appears when you chase all Wiedergänger Keepers on the Spell Circles in Decayed Graveyard, part of Darkwood Path. Its drop is determined by which Summoning Slate you interact with. When you reach the lair of the legendary ghost, keep your eyes open for the powerful attacks the boss has, when its minions are inside the purple circle, they are undefeatable. It drops Scary Skull, the progress item for the mini event, and there is a chance to drop the Little Irusan pet from it, giving you amazing bonuses during the event.

​

Scary Skull dropped per run on each difficulty from Wendigo:

Difficulty	Normal	Painful	Excruciating	Fatal	Infernal I	Infernal II	Infernal III	Infernal IV	Infernal V	Infernal VI	Infernal VII
Amount of Scary Skull	50	75	125	200	300	425	575	750	950	1175	1425
