How to Reach Reaper Hollow
Accessing the event zone requires using the lobby travel menu rather than walking to a standard map border.
- Locate the event notice sign inside the main lobby area.
- Rest at the nearby resting post.
- Select the travel option on your screen.
- Press the back button in the travel interface.
- Choose Wandering realm, Reaper Hollow to load directly into the Halloween map.
How to Summon the Halloween Boss
Once inside Reaper Hollow, you will find a dedicated arena area with a central summoning altar. The boss does not spawn automatically on a timer; players must collect materials scattered around the vicinity.
- Explore the grounds of Reaper Hollow and collect the glowing spirit pumpkins placed around the area.
- Monitor your inventory until you have gathered a total of 8 spirit pumpkins.
- Walk up to the central altar, which displays an altar requirement counter (0/8 pumpkins).
- Press the interact prompt (E) at the altar to offer the pumpkins and trigger the boss spawn.
Combat Tips for the Event Boss
In community gameplay footage, the Halloween boss encounter frequently attracts large groups of players simultaneously, causing the boss's health pool to melt rapidly.
- Use Heavy Melee Weapons: Due to crowded arenas, fast ranged weapons like bows often fail to register consistent damage before other players deplete the target. High-impact weapons, such as a G20 Great Sword or a fully upgraded Giant Club, make it significantly easier to land substantial hits and secure credit for the fight.
