Pumpkin Mimics . . . it's a thing
It's Halloween time in Serbule, and it all started about a week ago. There was a strange precursor quest that happened a little bit before the real quests started. Basically, you talked to a goat, he had you click on a box, and you became a giant bat until removed by a potion that costs 4.5k councils.
Weeeeee! Flying!
I had a lot of fun flying around as a giant bat. It took a bit of asking in Guild chat to figure out that I needed to press R to fly and F to land. Once that happened, I was visiting all kinds of weird empty spots in Project Gorgon. Being a bat has a whole skill line that actually just got revamped a bit with the patch that contained the *real* Halloween update.
Side note: Being a Giant Bat helped me uncover a really big missed opportunity. There could be a whole secret bat city atop Serbule castle! That really needs to happen.
With the patch the goat NPC was removed and the *actual* Halloween celebration began. It features a whole lot more pumpkin decorations around town and a bunch of quests.
A Giant Bat between two pumpkins . . . that's me!
We're talking four or five complete quest chains that will have you doing everything from baking candied apples to running 144 kegs of beer to a party for the Goddess of Whimsy . . . to offering a skull to an alter and fighting Lord Serbule's ghost.
Halloween is all about the Goddess of Whimsy
You'll also find various areas that didn't have undead, now have undead. Like these Flapskulls in the Ilmari Desert.
They don't actually have legs, that's my pet biting the flapskull from behind.
Also, it appears about half of the tigers in the lower level zones were replaced with undead archers. I know this because there's a quest to make some spooky punch, which requires 4 cat eyeballs -- they were a touch harder to find with less tigers around. The punch decoration was worth it though.
Reminds me of the old spaghetti brains gag in neighborhood haunted houses.
Overall the Halloween quests are fun and a nice distraction from the usual game, and if there's anytime to be playing Project Gorgon as a bat, it's right now.
Happy Dueling!
