Halloween 2013: Additional information about the in-game event.
Dear Settlers,
The first signs of Halloween are here: pumpkins are starting to show up everywhere, nights are getting longer and the exciting atmosphere of this spooky holiday is heading towards us! It is a perfect time to provide you more information about the in-game event.
The Halloween 2013 event will start after the maintenance on October 17th, 2013.
As usual, there will be two deactivation phases related to the Halloween 2013 event:- November 7th, 2013 (first phase)
It will no longer be possible to start new Halloween quests and the Golem on your home island will no longer re-appear after being defeated.
All other event-related content will still be available: Halloween Shop category, graphics, music, etc.
- November 14th, 2013 (second phase)
The whole event will be deactivated: All running Halloween quests will be canceled, the Halloween Shop category will be deactivated,
all Golems will disappear from home islands, graphics will be restored to default ones, etc.
During the Halloween 2013 event, you will be able to produce 3 Golem Buffs in the Provision house:
Name: Marbles
Required resource: Marble
Description: Golems are clumsy. By putting lots of marbles in a Golem's way, you will make him fall to the ground.
Name: Ropes
Required resource: Wheat
Description: Once the Golem has fallen to the ground, you can capture him by using these strong ropes.
Name: Bucket of Water
Required resource: Water
Description: With the Golem incapacitated, you can use lots of water to extinguish his flames and freeze him to stone.
If you want to help your game world achieve its goal, you need to defeat the first Golem that showed up on your home island. Further Golems (second, third, etc.) will not affect your game world progress, but killing them will provide you individual rewards.
Just click on the Golem to see what needs to be done in order to defeat him, an example:
The picture on the left presents the interface where you can decide how many Golem Buffs you want to use.
The picture in the center presents the list of Golem Buffs that are available for you (Golem Buffs in production are not listed here).
The picture on the right presents the remaining health of each Golem heart.
Each Golem starts with 3 different hearts that represent different Golem Buffs:
In order to defeat the Golem, you need to remove all of his health points with the respective Golem Buffs.
Additional information:
You can help your friends with defeating their Golems. Just produce Golem Buffs, visit your friend's island, and activate buffs on the Golem.
Players of each game world will try to defeat a common boss together in order to receive rewards. The boss will appear at the lake at the center of each player's home island. Game worlds will not compete with each other and each game world has its own goal to achieve.
If your game world manages to reach its goal, you will receive a special reward, including a unique Golden Golem Statue:
Each game world has an individual goal that was calculated based on the game world's economy.
If your game world reaches its goal, you can still defeat your remaining Golems until the first removal phase takes place.
In order to check the current progress of your game world, just open the quest book and find the "Server quests" category. There will be a special quest ("The Golem") which shows the current progress.
Important information:
Defeating the first Golem on your home island will affect your game world's goal.
Defeating further Golems will provide you individual rewards, but will not affect your game world's goal.
Happy settling!
