◜Humans need fantasy to be human◝
Thank you!! And darn, they are expensive sad

◟It's not worth doing something unless someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren't doing it.◞

A shame too because this version of the game was much simpler and direct to acquire the item. sweatdrop
Something about the Solstice turned too many away..

What turned many away was the difficulty (on normal) that was frustrating a lot of people. The Devs who made the game often forgets that many people are not gamers to begin with or are casual gamers. The game was too difficult for many of us. So levels of difficulty were added included easy mode which helps a lot. But also a really hard mode for those who are gamers and love a good challenge. This feature of the game is very useful in the future.

In my opinion the solstice game was kinda hard even on easy mode. Some bosses were really though although I think with updates they have been nerfed afterwards. Halloween game easy mode was more how easy mode should have been in the solstice too.

Oh, poo ~ it looks like the launch of the Black Friday campaign means that the Halloween event has ended! T_____T Even though it ran waaaaay overtime, I still didn't manage to complete the Solstice Game ~ that silly Buff Abomination was just SO HARD to beat...!! X_____x

This is a guide I made from my experience playing the game. Updates to the game have been made since then, also I played in order. So your game experience might vary.

SOLSTICE GAME

TIPS to beat the tutorial chapter(The Automaton)

☀️ Landing page is Barton Town. Observe the shops, the 'T-Shirt' shop sells armor and weapons. The Potions shop sells potions. You can't enter the shops until you get the key form the shadow guy in Bassken Lake. So once you get the key return and stock up. Max number of potions you can carry is 10 of each.

☀️ Back to Bassken Lake, remember to put on the new gear you just bought before entering the dungeon.

☀️ You can't save your progress. Once you enter the dungeon you have to beat it in one go. Everytime you get out of the dungeon and go back in, a new map is generated completely different from the previous one.

☀️ My strategy was mainly to look for the stairs to the next level. If a room looks like it has no stairs and is a dead end, don't bother to enter. I avoided as many fights as I could this way.

☀️ If I engaged on battle, I looked at who where my adversaries. If it looked like an easy fight I would fight. If it looked like a nightmare I escaped. But you can escape all fights if you want it's probably better. The objetive is to save as many big heals as you can. You see 4 slimes? Run for your life, it's the most tedious fight ever!

☀️ When fighting several monsters, always start killing from the bottom of the list to the top. You miss a lot less this way.

☀️ Defeating monster has some plat and potions rewards. If you intend to fight most monsters you encounter, use +Def and +1Str buffs before each fight it will make your life easier.

☀️ There are 3 levels in the dungeon. When you take the stairs down in the 3rd level, you will meet the boss. So it's time to use you Def and Str potions, you can use 3 max of each one. Get to full health, better if you do so by using your small heals than the big ones.

☀️ The boss has a spell that removes your Str buff though. If you reaply it in battle it will get removed again. So IDK I just used str buff before the fight in case, but it doesn't do much.

☀️ While fighting te boss try not to let your health drop too much. Most likely after the first couple of turns you will end up attacking 1 turn, using HP potion the next.

☀️ The boss misses a lot, which saved me cause I had like 3HP by the end.

☀️ GL!

TIPS to beat the 2nd chapter (The Wolf)

☀️ Go talk to Rufus, he wants to fish but doesn't have a fishing rod. The objetive is to get him to fish the key for the 2nd dungeon. Go talk to Logan he'll give you a fishing rod. Return to Rufus and give him the rod. Rufus says a cat can't use a human rod. You will have to go back to Barton and talk to Marvin, he will give a fishing rod for cats. Return to Rufus and give him the new rod. Ask him if he fished anything, he will say not yet. So just wait a bit, go back to Barton and talk to people, explore the shops, there are new armor items, get them. Go back to Rufus and keep asking about his fishing until he gives you the key.

☀️ Once you have the key, a new map door opens. It's in Barton, to the east of the map. Before you go there, talk to Gino. He gives you the option of changing the difficulty of the game, you can pick easy, normal or hard mode.

☀️ The new map has a big tree in the middle, that's the entry to the dungeon. Equip yourself and go down. But fist you can explore a bit the screen. The bottom tree line is hidding and apron item, don't miss it!

☀️ The mechanic of the game is mostly the same as the other dungeon. There are 5 levels now, with the 6th being the boss. Beware, unlike other stairs room, the last room before the boss this time have enemies that will fight you. So don't power up until you beat them.

☀️ Crates now can be opened and sometimes you will find potions inside, so you get more potions than in the other dungeon.

TIPS to beat the 3rd chapter (The Rabbit)

☀️ After defeating 2nd boss, talk to Marvin and then to everyone else around Barton town. There are new elemental weapons/armor in the shop. I recomend buying at least the water armor and the fire frying pan, since they're the best to fight the boss. Other weapons/armor will be useful to defeat the rest of the monsters, stone sword helped me a lot since there are lots of ️Kinmaeras in the main dungeon. Once done, go to Bassken's lake.

☀️ In Bassken talk to Logan, he will tell you about the holes. There are 2 holes in Bassken, one near Logan and the other is next to Ian near the windmill. These holes lead to 2 dungeons. It is NOT REQUIRED to finish these 2 dungeons, you can ignore them completely, although you can enter if you want to farm potions/plat.

☀️ After Logan go talk to Ian about the next key. He tells you Marvin has the key.

☀️ Marvin says his key was stolen. Go talk to Cat Daddy. He is the one that actually has the key but he seems confused. Go back to Ian again, he sends you to talk to Cindy. You need a newspaper to convince Cat Daddy to give you the key. Cindy gives you a bussiness card instead.

☀️ Return to Ian and give him the bussiness card so you can interview him. Then return to Cindy and now she will give you the newspaper. Once you have it hand it to Cat Daddy and get the key.

☀️ The entry to the 3rd dungeon is in front of Cat Daddy, it's the sewer entry.

☀️This dungeon has 2 levels with monsters. The third level is the boss, be ready before going down. This boss has no debuff spells. He is weak to fire so use fire weapon. Use water armor since his spells are weaker this way.

☀️A warning: this dungeon has random teleporting. You are happy opening barrels in one room and suddenly you are in a completely different room far away. So try to keep an idea of were you are going by checking the map regularly.

☀️Another warning: Sometimes the boss is not at the end of the dungeon you are in. This is because dungeons being randomly generated and for this Boss in particular sometimes he is not generated there. If this happens to you I'm afraid you'll have to try again with a new dungeon.

☀️After defeating boss you can go into the dungeon again. The second time when you reach the boss room there is no boss obviously, but you can get an item if you pick the option to search the dungeon. After searching the dungeon you find something. Pick the option for something that cannot be unfound, it's a red balloon 🎈. You can pick other options after that but you get nothing else as far as I know.

TIPS to beat the 3rd chapter Interlude (The Rabbit of Caerbannog)

☀️ After defeating 3rd boss, there's another much dangerous killer rabbit left! You will find it in both of the rabbit holes in Bassken's Lake. Be sure to talk to Logan about the holes if you haven't done it before, otherwise the holes won't be accesible later in the game. This boss can KO you in one hit. You need to be prepared! You have the first hit though you make good use of it.

☀️ You will need a proper weapon, the 'Holy Grenade Launcher'. You can find it in the shrine next to Marvin. The code is 1 2 5 3

☀️ The second thing you need to beat Caerbannog is EXP. The 'Holy Grenade Launcher' needs at least 10000 EXP to properly work.

☀️ Once you have the Grenade and enough EXP, go to tone of the burrows. The one next to Logan is 2 level and the one next to Ian is only 1 level. Before descending into the boss lair, equip the grenade. Your first attack should be magic, it will let you use the grenade in exchange for 10000 EXP. And that's how you beat such savage beast! 🪄 🐇, and the prize of course it's a carrot! 🥕

☀️ NOTE: It's possible to defeat the rabbit without using the holy grenade magic. However you need to get very lucky and hit it with a critical. If you have low EXP you can always farm the dungeon and try fighting it without magic a few times.

☀️ ANOTHER NOTE: If you don't beat Caerbannog before starting chapter 4, you miss your chance.

TIPS to beat the 4th chapter (The Fox)

☀️ STOP! Make sure you have beaten Caerbannog before continuing. Otherwise you won't have a chance later.

☀️ There's new magic shop next to Cat Daddy. There's no need to get magic scrolls you get them in the dungeon though.

☀️ There's a new hidden item, a new fire magic scroll (Fireball)✨. You can find it near where the apron was, along the bottom tree line in the east forest below the Wolf tree.

☀️ As always talk to people around town. Cat Daddy will tell you Agatha is near the lake, go look for her. She is were Ian was in chapter 3.

☀️ Agatha is crazy and knots you out and steals your masks!! So now you will have to recover them all by fighting the previous bosses again. But first you have to beat another enemy: yourself!. Go into the portal that opens.

☀️ This first dungeon has 3 levels, the boss in the 4th. Weapon of choice for the dungeon is stone sword. The 3rd level is weird and changes color, and the boss lair is like an acid trip. In the 3rd level is where you can find magic scrolls, just be sure to have a stone weapon to kill those Myostistrike easily. Explore all the rooms in this lvl, so you can get all the scrolls. Boss is weak to metaldart spell and neutral to water weapon. After defeating your doppelganger you get back the first figurine you won in the tutorial.

☀️ Afterwards go back to Cat Daddy and ask him about the wolf, the rabbit and the fox. He tells you to go west, it's a new area the Zen Gardens.

☀️ There are 3 portals in Zen Gardens. The first on is near a sakura tree you see it as you enter. It's the Wolf dungeon. Weapon of choice for the dungeon is leek. It has only 1 level but it's largeeeee, the second level is the boss. Wolfy is weak to metaldart and neutral to water trident. You retrieve the wolf mask after defeating it.

☀️ The second portal is all the way to the west. But the trees are annoyingly in the way and you have to walk all around. It's the Rabbit dungeon. Again it has only 1 level, the second is the boss. Explore the rooms for a new AoE magic scroll (Sisyphus Rock)✨. You retrieve the rabbit mask after defeating it. The rabbit is weak to fire 🔥. For the dungeon I used the leek and went fine, you can always use spells now in a pinch!

☀️ The third portal is in the shrine. It's the Fox dungeon. My weapon of choice for the dungeon is the stone sword or the leek. This dungeons has 2 levels, the 3rd is the boss. The second lvl has a new AoE magic scroll (Steelball)✨ hidden somewhere. You get the fox mask after defeating it. The fox is weak to guess what? metaldart spells!. 💧 Also the water trident works pretty well against it.

☀️ NOTE: this guide can be useful to know wich weapons/spells to use against which monsters

TIPS to beat the 5th chapter (The Owl)

☀️ IMPORTANT: After you get the owl mask - there will be permanent changes in the world. So if you have some unfinished businesses - better finish them before you get that mask.
Old dungeons will still be available, but there will be a large change that may lock you from finishing older story elements.

☀️ There's a new hidden item, a new Debuff scroll✨, it will come in handy later. You can find it near where the apron was, along the bottom tree line in the east forest below the Wolf tree.

☀️ There's a new Inferno Pan in the weapons shop waiting for you to send your enemies to hell with it.

☀️ Talk to Xun Zin he tells you to find Cat Daddy (that cat only causes trouble) but first to talk to Hooded Guy near the fountain and Trash Can. Hodded Guy tells you to go to the East Shrine first and later to the West Shrine.

☀️ But before visiting any shrine, talk to Trash Can for a bit. He eventually let's you enter the dungeon and it's a weird one. No monsters to fight, just rooms with sofas and the NPCs. Talk to them, each one tells you to remember something to say to them later on the solstice.


Rufus : I'm a cat. I've got it easy.
Ian : That a keen sense of loneliness sets the stage for true connection; it won't last forever.
Marvin : The real magic is all around us, you just need to see it and build upon it.
Agatha : Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. Tell me to face my fear - and when it's gone only I will remain.
Cindy : A job perfectly done is only a shadow of what makes a strong personality. Self preservation is of the utmost important.
Logan : Everyone gets old and sick, but the soul can stay young. The memory may weaken, the hands may weaken - but I am more than that.

At the end the boss awaits, it's the Automaton again. The boss is weak to fire 🔥.

☀️ Once done in the trash can Dungeon, it's time to go east, to Zen Gardens, to visit the first shrine. It's in between the 2 bridges, in front of some bambooo. The shrine tells you about time, and send you north east. Go to basskens lake and talk to Rufus about time, then go back to the shrine and the dungeon opens aka slime nightmare.

☀️ This dungeon is full of slimes, yuck, it has 1 level. You can find one new AoE spell Tumbleweed✨, and a new AoE debuff Mighty Debuff!✨. The boss is also a slime, a very big yucky one called Cosmos. It's much easier though so not complaining! I followed the same strategy as Doge, it's also a slow fight, Cosmos might not have any weakness. You get a monocle for your troubles.

☀️ Once done go to the east Shrine (near the construction site) and talk about poems. Then go Find Logan and talk about poets with him and then return to the shrine. A new dungeon opens.
There's a new AoE spell you can find in the dungeon, Tsunami✨. Lost of enemies here buff up, you can use Mighty debuff to deal with them. It has only one floor, the boss at the end is Doge Abomination. He seems weak at first that is until he buffs up!! He is hard to beat. He is weak to metaldart. The debuff spell helps a bit but he buffs up a lot of times. GL beating this beast. You win a top hat, so classy!
Some strategy to beat buff Doge:


⭐Elemental weapons don't work (trident neutral?), so using the strongest non elemental sword will make more damage to it.
⭐Don't buff up before entering the boss lair, your buffs go away when he transforms. Save your buffs for battle, use Str buff to make your attacks stronger.
⭐Use Debuff or Mighty Debuff (they do the same, one is single enemy and the other AoE) after he buffs up a couple of times (Not everytime, but after a couple or 3 times or you will run out of magic).
⭐Don't waste magic attacks on him. Save your magic for debuffing him mostly. He is weak against metaldart.
⭐Heal when you are below half hp.
⭐Be patient, this is a war of attrition, you won't beat it fast just stick to a strategy.

☀️ Congrats on beating Doge Buff Abomination! The last dungeon is the Bell in Zen Gardens (to the west). It's the Owl dungeon (OMG finally!). You need to have collected the monocle and top hat beforehand.
This dungeons has 2 levels, the 3rd is the boss Owl. This boss transforma a lot. The owl is weak to stone 🪨. The turkey is weak to water 💧. The parakeet is weak to water 💧. The lady Owl is weak to water💧. After beating the 4, you get the owl mask courtesy of Cat Daddy.

TIPS to beat the final chapter (Pan'Goll)

☀️ First know that now we can carry up to 15 potions of the same kind. It's recommended you stock up heals.

☀️ This chapter is very straightforward. You go to the construction site, and there you find the hooded guy and a covered statue. Talk to the hooded guy and all the NPCs will appear.

☀️ Next talk to all the NPCs, in order to receive heart masks from them. You must say to them what they told you in previous chapter while in the trash can dungeon.

☀️ Once you have all the masks, it's time to fight the final boss! ... or not!?.

☀️ Talk to the Pan'Goll god and make your choice: submit to it or fight it!. Either choice is valid as far as I know.

☀️ If you decide to submit, that's it. You complete the last chapter wihout doing anything else.

☀️ If you want to fight, a little advice:


⭐ Do not use a fire weapon.
⭐ Debuff him when he buffs up.
⭐ Use strenght potion.
⭐ Use spells for stronger attacks.
⭐ DEFEND! Observe when he attacks and try to predict his next attack and defend before he does. It's a very easy fight if you get this right.

☀️ After the fight is over, you will be left floating in the space. Don't panick, just float down until you see the exit.

☀️ 🎉CONGRATULATIONS!! Good job! 🎉.

HALLOWEEN GAME

TIPS to beat the first chapter (Cerpurrus)

🎃 First talk to Gino. He lets you set up the game difficulty which comes very in handy.

🎃 Next you must talk to good old Jack. Jack is trying to brew something. You must gather some ingredients and an 'artifact'. Go to the coliseum to collect them.

🎃 Inside the coliseum there's a dungeon. Open the crates to find potions and ingredients ( Vial of Tears 💧, Mushroom 🍄 & Grave Dirt 🪦). Fight the monsters to get Spectral Seeds🌱 as a reward (I'm pretty sure Ghost Pum Kin is the one that rewards seeds). You can also find some weapons and armor inside the crates, be sure to equip them by opening your item inventory.

🎃 This dungeon has 2 levels, with the 3rd level being the cutie Boss. In easy mode at least bosses are really easy so don't worry! He rewards you with a magic wand 🪄, just what you needed to start brewing potions!

🎃 To brew potions, go to talk to the cauldron. It's pretty intuitive, you pick 3 ingredients and try your luck to see if your concoction brews successfully. Successful potions get saved into your book so you can go back to them later and brew tham as many times as you need.

TIPS to beat the second chapter (Umbra Lykin)

🎃 Once you beat the 1st boss you start the second chapter, which is not very different from the first one. You go back to the coliseum to collect new and old items alike.

🎃 This dungeon now has 4 levels, with 5th being the boss.

🎃 In the 3rd and 4th level crates have elemental armor inside, but don't bother with them they do more harm than good in this dungeon. Good old studded leather armor is all you need. Also monster fights in these level give as reward a new ingredient, Lantern Sparks 🏮✨ courtesy of the ghost lanters.

🎃 The boss is a big bad wolf who gives you for your efforts a Magic Vial 🧪, another ingredient to use in potion making.

TIPS to beat the third chapter (Shadow Jack)

🎃 Let's get down to business. You know the Dynamic by now. Go back to the dungeon and open as many crates as you can and beat the enemies that give you ingredient rewards (ghost pumpkin, ghost lanters). This dungeon has 6 levels with the 7th being the boss. You are going to be in there for a while.

🎃 In the 5th and 6th levels crates have elemental weapons which I totally ignored because it seems they only give us elemental stuff that is a bad match for the enemies we have. I'm too faithful to my neutral Iron Cast Pan which you can also find around.

🎃 New monsters in the 5th and 6th levels, among them Skelekin rewards us with Rose Petals 🌹, a new ingredient.

🎃 The boss is Shadow Jack!. He looks thougher than the others...he is the big bad after all! Remember to use STR and DEF potion before facing him. Beating Jack grants us Dark Candy🍬 the last ingredient we needed. Congrats! Go have fun making potions.

Potion Combos

For the "Brewed 50 spoiled potions" achievement, the quickest way is to brew 2 elements together (instead of 3). This always results in a spoiled potion and allows you to use the ingredients you have more efficiently. If you need to know how many spoiled potions you have so far, just check your inventory (thanks Shin the Devil):

For the "Brewed all potions" achievement here's the combo list:

Big thanks to TurtleTots ~ heart

So nice of you to put together this lengthy guide, Oari ~ wish I'd found it sooner. ^ w ^; I never even had a chance to try the Halloween Game for any of the Jack's Brewhaha goodies, sadly... >_____<

[A Wicked Princess]

Did I miss this?

[Nyadriel]

A Wicked Princess

Did I miss this?

Nope! Solstice game link is on the first post! You can still get the masks!
It's a permanent game now, just that they have not put the link up on a page yet.

The Halloween one is done.

[Like a Leaf on the Wind]

The first DoppeLGanger in Chapter Four is weak to METALDART. I wore the fire armor and used the Iron sword.

Using the iron sword made it angry.

[Dante Alexander 1]

Too bad those that finished the game can't revisit the dungeons.

☀️ STOP! Make sure you have beaten Caerbannog before continuing. Otherwise you won't have a chance later.

☀️ There's new magic shop next to Cat Daddy. There's no need to get magic scrolls you get them in the dungeon though.

☀️ There's a new hidden item, a new fire magic scroll (Fireball)✨. You can find it near where the apron was, along the bottom tree line in the east forest below the Wolf tree.

☀️ As always talk to people around town. Cat Daddy will tell you Agatha is near the lake, go look for her. She is were Ian was in chapter 3.

☀️ Agatha is crazy and knots you out and steals your masks!! So now you will have to recover them all by fighting the previous bosses again. But first you have to beat another enemy: yourself!. Go into the portal that opens.

☀️ This first dungeon has 3 levels, the boss in the 4th. Weapon of choice for the dungeon is stone sword. The 3rd level is weird and changes color, and the boss lair is like an acid trip. In the 3rd level is where you can find magic scrolls, just be sure to have a stone weapon to kill those Myostistrike easily. Explore all the rooms in this lvl, so you can get all the scrolls. Boss is weak to metaldart spell and neutral to water weapon. After defeating your doppelganger you get back the first figurine you won in the tutorial.

☀️ Afterwards go back to Cat Daddy and ask him about the wolf, the rabbit and the fox. He tells you to go west, it's a new area the Zen Gardens.

☀️ There are 3 portals in Zen Gardens. The first on is near a sakura tree you see it as you enter. It's the Wolf dungeon. Weapon of choice for the dungeon is leek. It has only 1 level but it's largeeeee, the second level is the boss. Wolfy is weak to metaldart and neutral to water trident. You retrieve the wolf mask after defeating it.

☀️ The second portal is all the way to the west. But the trees are annoyingly in the way and you have to walk all around. It's the Rabbit dungeon. Again it has only 1 level, the second is the boss. Explore the rooms for a new AoE magic scroll (Sisyphus Rock)✨. You retrieve the rabbit mask after defeating it. The rabbit is weak to fire 🔥. For the dungeon I used the leek and went fine, you can always use spells now in a pinch!

☀️ The third portal is in the shrine. It's the Fox dungeon. My weapon of choice for the dungeon is the stone sword or the leek. This dungeons has 2 levels, the 3rd is the boss. The second lvl has a new AoE magic scroll (Steelball)✨ hidden somewhere. You get the fox mask after defeating it. The fox is weak to guess what? metaldart spells!. 💧 Also the water trident works pretty well against it.

☀️ NOTE: this guide can be useful to know wich weapons/spells to use against which monsters

TIPS to beat the 5th chapter (The Owl)

☀️ IMPORTANT: After you get the owl mask - there will be permanent changes in the world. So if you have some unfinished businesses - better finish them before you get that mask.
Old dungeons will still be available, but there will be a large change that may lock you from finishing older story elements.

☀️ There's a new hidden item, a new Debuff scroll✨, it will come in handy later. You can find it near where the apron was, along the bottom tree line in the east forest below the Wolf tree.

☀️ There's a new Inferno Pan in the weapons shop waiting for you to send your enemies to hell with it.

☀️ Talk to Xun Zin he tells you to find Cat Daddy (that cat only causes trouble) but first to talk to Hooded Guy near the fountain and Trash Can. Hodded Guy tells you to go to the East Shrine first and later to the West Shrine.

☀️ But before visiting any shrine, talk to Trash Can for a bit. He eventually let's you enter the dungeon and it's a weird one. No monsters to fight, just rooms with sofas and the NPCs. Talk to them, each one tells you to remember something to say to them later on the solstice.


Rufus : I'm a cat. I've got it easy.
Ian : That a keen sense of loneliness sets the stage for true connection; it won't last forever.
Marvin : The real magic is all around us, you just need to see it and build upon it.
Agatha : Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. Tell me to face my fear - and when it's gone only I will remain.
Cindy : A job perfectly done is only a shadow of what makes a strong personality. Self preservation is of the utmost important.
Logan : Everyone gets old and sick, but the soul can stay young. The memory may weaken, the hands may weaken - but I am more than that.

At the end the boss awaits, it's the Automaton again. The boss is weak to fire 🔥.

☀️ Once done in the trash can Dungeon, it's time to go east, to Zen Gardens, to visit the first shrine. It's in between the 2 bridges, in front of some bambooo. The shrine tells you about time, and send you north east. Go to basskens lake and talk to Rufus about time, then go back to the shrine and the dungeon opens aka slime nightmare.

☀️ This dungeon is full of slimes, yuck, it has 1 level. You can find one new AoE spell Tumbleweed✨, and a new AoE debuff Mighty Debuff!✨. The boss is also a slime, a very big yucky one called Cosmos. It's much easier though so not complaining! I followed the same strategy as Doge, it's also a slow fight, Cosmos might not have any weakness. You get a monocle for your troubles.

☀️ Once done go to the east Shrine (near the construction site) and talk about poems. Then go Find Logan and talk about poets with him and then return to the shrine. A new dungeon opens.
There's a new AoE spell you can find in the dungeon, Tsunami✨. Lost of enemies here buff up, you can use Mighty debuff to deal with them. It has only one floor, the boss at the end is Doge Abomination. He seems weak at first that is until he buffs up!! He is hard to beat. He is weak to metaldart. The debuff spell helps a bit but he buffs up a lot of times. GL beating this beast. You win a top hat, so classy!
Some strategy to beat buff Doge:


⭐Elemental weapons don't work (trident neutral?), so using the strongest non elemental sword will make more damage to it.
⭐Don't buff up before entering the boss lair, your buffs go away when he transforms. Save your buffs for battle, use Str buff to make your attacks stronger.
⭐Use Debuff or Mighty Debuff (they do the same, one is single enemy and the other AoE) after he buffs up a couple of times (Not everytime, but after a couple or 3 times or you will run out of magic).
⭐Don't waste magic attacks on him. Save your magic for debuffing him mostly. He is weak against metaldart.
⭐Heal when you are below half hp.
⭐Be patient, this is a war of attrition, you won't beat it fast just stick to a strategy.

☀️ Congrats on beating Doge Buff Abomination! The last dungeon is the Bell in Zen Gardens (to the west). It's the Owl dungeon (OMG finally!). You need to have collected the monocle and top hat beforehand.
This dungeons has 2 levels, the 3rd is the boss Owl. This boss transforma a lot. The owl is weak to stone 🪨. The turkey is weak to water 💧. The parakeet is weak to water 💧. The lady Owl is weak to water💧. After beating the 4, you get the owl mask courtesy of Cat Daddy.

TIPS to beat the final chapter (Pan'Goll)

☀️ First know that now we can carry up to 15 potions of the same kind. It's recommended you stock up heals.

☀️ This chapter is very straightforward. You go to the construction site, and there you find the hooded guy and a covered statue. Talk to the hooded guy and all the NPCs will appear.

☀️ Next talk to all the NPCs, in order to receive heart masks from them. You must say to them what they told you in previous chapter while in the trash can dungeon.

☀️ Once you have all the masks, it's time to fight the final boss! ... or not!?.

☀️ Talk to the Pan'Goll god and make your choice: submit to it or fight it!. Either choice is valid as far as I know.

☀️ If you decide to submit, that's it. You complete the last chapter wihout doing anything else.

☀️ If you want to fight, a little advice:


⭐ Do not use a fire weapon.
⭐ Debuff him when he buffs up.
⭐ Use strenght potion.
⭐ Use spells for stronger attacks.
⭐ DEFEND! Observe when he attacks and try to predict his next attack and defend before he does. It's a very easy fight if you get this right.

☀️ After the fight is over, you will be left floating in the space. Don't panick, just float down until you see the exit.

☀️ 🎉CONGRATULATIONS!! Good job! 🎉.

HALLOWEEN GAME

TIPS to beat the first chapter (Cerpurrus)

🎃 First talk to Gino. He lets you set up the game difficulty which comes very in handy.

🎃 Next you must talk to good old Jack. Jack is trying to brew something. You must gather some ingredients and an 'artifact'. Go to the coliseum to collect them.

🎃 Inside the coliseum there's a dungeon. Open the crates to find potions and ingredients ( Vial of Tears 💧, Mushroom 🍄 & Grave Dirt 🪦). Fight the monsters to get Spectral Seeds🌱 as a reward (I'm pretty sure Ghost Pum Kin is the one that rewards seeds). You can also find some weapons and armor inside the crates, be sure to equip them by opening your item inventory.

🎃 This dungeon has 2 levels, with the 3rd level being the cutie Boss. In easy mode at least bosses are really easy so don't worry! He rewards you with a magic wand 🪄, just what you needed to start brewing potions!

🎃 To brew potions, go to talk to the cauldron. It's pretty intuitive, you pick 3 ingredients and try your luck to see if your concoction brews successfully. Successful potions get saved into your book so you can go back to them later and brew tham as many times as you need.

TIPS to beat the second chapter (Umbra Lykin)

🎃 Once you beat the 1st boss you start the second chapter, which is not very different from the first one. You go back to the coliseum to collect new and old items alike.

🎃 This dungeon now has 4 levels, with 5th being the boss.

🎃 In the 3rd and 4th level crates have elemental armor inside, but don't bother with them they do more harm than good in this dungeon. Good old studded leather armor is all you need. Also monster fights in these level give as reward a new ingredient, Lantern Sparks 🏮✨ courtesy of the ghost lanters.

🎃 The boss is a big bad wolf who gives you for your efforts a Magic Vial 🧪, another ingredient to use in potion making.

TIPS to beat the third chapter (Shadow Jack)

🎃 Let's get down to business. You know the Dynamic by now. Go back to the dungeon and open as many crates as you can and beat the enemies that give you ingredient rewards (ghost pumpkin, ghost lanters). This dungeon has 6 levels with the 7th being the boss. You are going to be in there for a while.

🎃 In the 5th and 6th levels crates have elemental weapons which I totally ignored because it seems they only give us elemental stuff that is a bad match for the enemies we have. I'm too faithful to my neutral Iron Cast Pan which you can also find around.

🎃 New monsters in the 5th and 6th levels, among them Skelekin rewards us with Rose Petals 🌹, a new ingredient.

🎃 The boss is Shadow Jack!. He looks thougher than the others...he is the big bad after all! Remember to use STR and DEF potion before facing him. Beating Jack grants us Dark Candy🍬 the last ingredient we needed. Congrats! Go have fun making potions.

Potion Combos

For the "Brewed 50 spoiled potions" achievement, the quickest way is to brew 2 elements together (instead of 3). This always results in a spoiled potion and allows you to use the ingredients you have more efficiently. If you need to know how many spoiled potions you have so far, just check your inventory (thanks Shin the Devil):

For the "Brewed all potions" achievement here's the combo list:

Big thanks to TurtleTots ~ heart

So nice of you to put together this lengthy guide, Oari ~ wish I'd found it sooner. ^ w ^; I never even had a chance to try the Halloween Game for any of the Jack's Brewhaha goodies, sadly... >_____<

Glad you found it helpful! The solstice game is still ongoing in this link: https://www.gaiaonline.com/dungeongame
So you can keep playing it!

Too bad those that finished the game can't revisit the dungeons.

Agreed! since the game stayed, they could have left people who completed it play some more.

Thank you! I would love to revisit those dungeons maxed out and give them back the trouble they gave me. lol

aside from Pride, what does defeating Caerbannog do to help you in the game?
is the carrot something that helps you in the game or is used outside of it?
