10/2/09 - Tricks, Towers, and Treats

As you all know the Halloween decorations and quests finally arrived yesterday!

You got your ghosts, your scarecrows, your pumpkins, your scary towers, you got everything!

There are quite a bit of fun quests to do from Jack Hollow. Such as running around finding pumpkins in various areas, or catching different colored ghosts that are flying around. It's all quite fun. Your usually rewarded with some gold, or a black cat treasure card.

One of the more difficult quests (mainly for lower levels) is the battle against Mordecai in triton avenue. This boss has 2000 health and I believe his minion has around 800. Either way it's a pretty difficult battle to fight. You will want to bring some friends. Bosses usually focus on one person, or who ever is attacking/healing. So whoever becomes the target just shield them and have someone else charge up a strong attack to kill the boss. After completing this quest you are awarded with a plain pumpkin mask. So now you can kill people with a punpkin on your head......that's fun right?

Another fun edition with this special event is the towers located in Ravenwood. There is an easy, medium and hard tower. To gain access to these towers you must get the quest from jack that asks you to speak to Malorn in Ravenwood. Then you will be able to go inside. You should have at least one other person with you when doing these.

The quickest way to get through them is wipe your deck clean of everything except 1 blade, 1 attack all spell, 2-3 pixies, and 1 of whatever your strongest spell is.

So if you have one other person with you then your strategy will go like this:
-Both people use there attack all enemy spells when you gain 4 pips. This should enable you to just fly through every floor except the boss.
-When you reach him, again have both players use there attack all enemy spells to get rid of the minions.
-Then both use their blades and their strongest attacks and the bosses should be dead.

Each tower should be a breeze if done correctly. Also, keep in mind that the hard tower contains some nice drops from the boss as well as the minions. The ones I know of are:

- Spider Golem Pet [boss only]
- Greater Imp Pet (Comes with imp spell card) [any enemy]
- Marleybone Camping Tent (which you can go inside, it's pretty nice) [boss only]
- Antique Cello [Not sure, I think boss though]
- Dead Briar Tree [any enemy]
- Wraith Statue [any enemy]
- Unicorn Statue [not sure]
- One of the Halloween staffs [boss]

I'll update if I find anything else.

This update is packed with fun stuff to do, so enjoy it while it lasts

Happy Halloween Everyone! (sort of.....)
