⚔️ Complete Quest Walkthrough

The Halloween Event 2025 features a mix of story quests and side quests. Story quests are mandatory to progress, while side quests offer extra rewards and are perfect for grinding event currency. Below is our detailed walkthrough, tested and verified by the Forge of Empires India community.

📖 Story Quests (35 total)

The story follows the mysterious Elder Witch who appears at your city gates with a cryptic warning: "The Veil is thinning, and the spirits of forgotten empires are stirring." Your mission? Build the Haunted Citadel, perform ancient rituals, and uncover the lost treasures of the Nether Realm.

  • Quest 1–5: Build 3 Haunted Mills, collect 500 Pumpkin Essence, and negotiate with the Spirit Merchant. Reward: 2x Skull Gate fragments.
  • Quest 6–10: Complete 8 encounters in the Haunted Expedition, gather 1,200 Spectral Dust. Reward: Phantom Bazaar access.
  • Quest 11–18: Upgrade the Haunted Citadel to Level 3, defeat 5 Spectral Wraiths in PvP. Reward: Grand Prize token.
  • Quest 19–25: Collect 3,500 Halloween Treats from motivated buildings. Reward: Exclusive "Cursed Cathedral" blueprint.
  • Quest 26–35: Complete the Grand Ritual — requires 10,000 Pumpkin Essence, 8,000 Spectral Dust, and 5 Relic Fragments. Final Reward: Haunted Throne (Lv.2) + 100 Diamonds.

🌀 Side Quests (20 total)

Side quests are repeatable (up to 3 times each) and offer excellent event currency per time. Prioritise these if you're gunning for the top prizes:

  1. "Trick or Treat" — Motivate 20 buildings: 150 Pumpkin Essence each run.
  2. "Spirit Harvest" — Collect from 10 Haunted Mills: 200 Spectral Dust.
  3. "Grave Robbery" — Win 5 battles in the Hood: 250 Halloween Treats.
  4. "Candlelight Vigil" — Spend 100 Forge Points: 180 Pumpkin Essence.
  5. "Ghost Parade" — Complete 3 trades in the Market: 220 Spectral Dust.

🇮🇳 Indian player special: Our community found that combining "Trick or Treat" with the daily "motivate 10 friends" routine yields ~1,200 extra currency per day. That's a game-changer! 🚀

🧠 Advanced Strategy Guide

Alright, commanders — let's get into the real meat of this guide. You don't just want to complete the event; you want to dominate it. Here are our battle-tested strategies, straight from the top Indian players in the Forge of Empires India Fellowship.

📌 Pre-Event Preparation

  • Stock up on Forge Points: Keep at least 200 FP in reserve. Several quests require spending FP, and having a buffer ensures you don't fall behind.
  • Save your motivated buildings: The "Trick or Treat" side quest requires motivating 20 buildings daily. Pre-identify 20 friends who are active and swap motivations.
  • Clear your quest log: If you have pending side quests from previous events, complete them before Oct 15 to avoid clutter.

📌 Currency Optimisation

The three event currencies — Pumpkin Essence, Spectral Dust, and Halloween Treats — are used for different purposes. Here's the optimal conversion strategy:

  1. Pumpkin Essence → Prioritise spending on Grand Prize unlocks (especially Haunted Throne).
  2. Spectral Dust → Use for Phantom Bazaar trades. You can convert 500 Dust → 50 FP or 10 Diamonds.
  3. Halloween Treats → Best used for Skull Gate and Cursed Cathedral fragments.

Pro tip: During the Double Currency Weekend (Phase 4), all quest rewards are doubled. Save your side quest reruns for this period — you'll earn 2x currency for the same effort! 📈

📌 The "Desi Jugaad" Farming Method

Our Indian community has perfected a farming loop that yields ~3,000 currency per day without diamonds. Here's how:

  • 06:00–08:00: Collect all Haunted Mills + motivate 20 friends (Trick or Treat).
  • 12:00–13:00: Complete 3 trades (Ghost Parade) + spend 50 FP (Candlelight Vigil).
  • 18:00–20:00: Win 5 hood battles (Grave Robbery) + collect mills again.
  • 21:00–22:00: Final mill collection + rerun any incomplete side quests.

Iska koi competition nahi hai! (There's no competition to this!) Follow this routine, and you'll unlock the Haunted Throne Lv.2 by Day 16. 🔥
