[Update] Death's Door - Halloween Event
Thread Closed

Death's Door - Halloween Event



[Image: News_main.jpg]

Death's Door is this year's Halloween event, and you can play it in RuneScape right now.

Help Death repel a ghostly invasion of his home, using specialised ghost-hunting equipment to dismiss the unwelcome dead before you're reduced to a gibbering wreck.

Earn points and trophies to be spent on XP lamps, gear that gives bonus damage against ghosts, the ability to burn bones on a bonfire for Prayer and Firemaking XP, and more.

Read on for the full, gory details!

How to Play



Find Muncher by the Burthorpe Lodestone, and speak to him to head to Death's house.

When you get there, you'll find that Death's beset by an invasion of ghosts - unleashed by Melzar the Mad - and that he's powerless to exorcise them himself.

He'll hand you a proto pack - the very latest in ghost-hunting technology - and set you to work banishing his unwelcome guests.

Examine the furnishings and ghosts will start to manifest, but beware: each hit you take will increase your fear meter - displayed in your minigames HUD window.

If the fear meter hits 100% you'll run screaming back to Death, and lose 20 of your hard-earned reward points.

You can reduce fear gradually by standing in moonlit areas of the house, or by using comforting items found in chests around the house.

Some ghosts are tougher than others and some have insidious special abilities, but the stronger they are the more points you'll earn for ousting them. Refer to the Ghostpedia from your minigames HUD to find out more.



Rewards



Chests will appear around the house every 10 minutes. You'll be told via the minigames HUD when there's one to find, and you'll have two minutes to get to it and claim its loot. They can contain:
  • Chocolates, teddies and night lights: comforting items that reduce your fear level when used.
  • Active ectoplasm: grants a temporary buff to your damage against the ghosts in the event.
  • Demonic traces: five of these will let you summon demonic ghosts - the scariest and most rewarding spectres you can face.
  • Ectoplasmators: there's a rare chance to get this handy item - which gives Prayer XP when fighting ghosts - if you don't have one already.
  • Ghostly essence: this very rare substance can attune your ectoplasmator (or recharge one that's already attuned), improving its abilities.
  • Other loot: including bones and seasonal sweets.

You'll get points for each ghost you dismiss. Muncher or Death will give you the following rewards in exchange for these:
  • Ghost hunter gear: a four-piece hybrid set that gives bonus damage and combat XP against ghosts fought outside the minigame. Its stats increase at level 50 and 70 Defence.
  • Cremation ability: this permanently unlocks the ability to burn bones on bonfires, granting you Prayer and Firemaking XP.
  • Large XP lamps.

Dismiss the dangerous demonic ghosts to earn up to one trophy a day, and spend them on the following rewards:
  • Ghost Hunter title.
  • Proto Pack emote.
  • Large XP lamps.

Finally, you'll unlock a set of proto pack cosmetic overrides for daggers, claws and crossbows, once you've dismissed 50 ghosts.



Get hunting those ghosts, and watch out for our terrifying Halloween quest - coming next week!

I really liked this event. I thought it was a lot of fun. I haven't been a fan of the quest like ones in the past. They were always way too much IMO when it's suppose to be something fun for the holidays. Plus I'm a big Ghostbusters fan so I loved that aspect of the whole thing too.

everything happens for a reason.
live today, like tomorrow is your last.
it's better to be hated for who you are, than to be loved for who you are not.

I love holiday events! They are usually so crazy. This one looks to be up for the task as well. Grin

Pretty special rewards this time though. Would be a pity for anyone to miss it.

Rewards, sure. Good.

But the execution. Not even worth the time it took to make.

Tad annoyed that i cant use the rewards from the halloween event, usually its just a statless cosmetic Sad

however, the 5 large lamps a day in roughly 20 mins of work is too juicy to pass up
