    There are now 4 types of Golems to be defeated.
    • Rock Golem (Level 1* - 25)
    • Greater Golem (Level 26 - 35)
    • Ancient Golem (Level 36 - 55)
    • Supreme Golem (Level 56+)
    *The spawn area of the Golems (middle of your home island) must be revealed/explored to see the Golem. You can see Golem with level 1, but level 19 is required to fight against Golems!





    Respawn & different Golems

    It takes 16 hours for a Golem to respawn after you defeated one.
    Each Golem type has 5 difficulty levels. The same Golem gets stronger until you defeated him for the 5th time.
    After you defeated the 5th (most difficult) Golem of one type, the next Golem type will show up, corresponding with your level. If you didn't level up to a new level range, a Golem with the 5th Golem's values will keep respawning.


    Examples

    You are level 55:
    • Defeat 5 Rock Golems in order to get a Greater Golem.
    • Defeat 5 Greater Golems in order to get an Ancient Golem.
    • The 5th Ancient Golem will respawn until you have reached level 56.
    You are level 28:
    • Defeat 5 Rock Golems in order to get a Greater Golem.
    • Defeat 5 Greater Golems.
    • The 5th Greater Golem will respawn until you have reached level 36.


    In order to destroy the Golems, you need to produce specific buffs in the Provision House.

    Name: Purified Water
    Golem type: Rock Golem
    Production Resources: 20 Water, 20 Copper ore


    Name: Enriched Water
    Golem type: Greater Golem
    Production Resources: 40 Water, 20 Iron ore


    Name: Holy Water
    Golem type: Ancient Golem
    Production Resources: 60 Water, 20 Titanium ore


    Name: Glistening Water
    Golem type: Supreme Golem
    Production Resources: 100 Water, 20 Platinum ore



    The way a Golem is defeated was changed slightly. Your friends can still help you in doing so, but you have to finish the Golem by clicking a new button in the Golem window.

    Important: The Golem can be "over-buffed".
    Example: If it needs just 1 more buff to get defeated, you and your friends will still be able to apply more buffs which no further effect.

    Finish it!
    When the Golem's HP has reached zero, the monster does not die immediately. It only enables the button for finally finishing it for the player who summoned it (island owner). The button cannot be pressed by any friend.

    • HALLOWEEN 2016 ACHIEVEMENTS
      Several new Achievements were implemented and some of the former ones (compared to 2015) adjusted.
    • COLLECTIBLE PUMPKINS
      Pumpkin collectibles will be guaranteed to spawn. Each collectible will provide 1 pumpkin.
    • GHOSTS
      All animals will vanish from the island's surface. Expect Zombies to show up? No, this plague has been defeated last year. Instead of Zombies, ghosts will haunt your island! They are probably spirits from former Zombies, but who knows...


    GRAPHICS AND SOUND
    • Info screen & widget
      The event info window will show you the remaining time of the Halloween event. Also, the info widget is displayed on the left side.



    • Spooky background music
      For the duration of the event, the in-game background music will be changed to different tracks.
    • Modification of several graphics
      Several graphics will be modified, for example, the logo and the loading screen.

    Halloween 2016: Removal & Deactivation



    The Halloween event will be turned off in two steps. Both Removal phase & the deactivation will happen with the corresponding game maintenance. This brief FAQ will provide you with some detailed information about each phase.


    • What does Removal phase basically mean?
      The core mechanisms of the event will be turned off, but the event shop category will remain until Removal phase 2.
      This means you have one additional week to get special event items for Pumpkins.
    • Can I still collect Pumpkins in Removal phase 1?
      Pumpkins that spawned before the maintenance can still be collected. However, after the collectible items are newly refreshed in Removal phase 1, no new Pumpkins will spawn. Explorers that have been send before the Removal phase started will bring back Pumpkins - but only if they return before the deactivation.
    • What happens to Halloween Quests that are not finished?
      The event quest chains will be canceled / removed.
    • When will Pumpkin refillers be removed from the (special) adventure loot ?
      Is the start or the end time of the adventure relevant?

      If the adventure was started before Removal Phase 1 but was only finished after Removal Phase 1 was activated, no Pumpkins will be included in the loot. Adventures started in or after Removal Phase 1, don't provide Pumpkins.
    • Is it possible to create event items?
      The creation of "Banshee's Scream" and "Werewolf's Howl" (as well as the Golem buffs) are related to the Halloween event. Therefore this option will be turned off. If you started to produce an event item shortly before the Removal phase 1 maintenance, this item will be finished even after Removal phase 1. Same goes for completed items: You can still pick them up after Removal phase 1.
    • Is it possible to use items like the "Banshee's Scream" buff after Removal phase 1?
      You can use the buff in order to get more Pumpkins before the Removal Phase finishes. The buff effect will end and you won't be able to use these buffs any more after the event deactivation.




    • What happens with Removal Phase 2?
      All remaining elements of the Halloween event will be removed with Removal Phase 2.
      An event resource conversion is planned to take place with the game update / deactivation.
    • What about remaining Pumpkin Cemeteries and Re-Fillers?
      Pumpkins remaining on each field, no matter if the fields have been built or if they are still in your Star Menu, will be converted to coins, along with all remaining re-fillers.
    • What happens to the Golem buffs in my Star Menu?
      Apply them to the Mayor's house to get a resource refund.
    • How many coins do I get for one Pumpkin?
      No matter where the Pumpkin is originating from (Cemetery, warehouse, Re-Filler, mail etc.), you will get 0,5 coins for 1 Pumpkin.
    • Can the "Trick" and "Treat" buffs still be used after Removal Phase 1?
      After Removal Phase 1, the "Trick" and "Treat" buffs created can still be used on your friends, but you won't be able to create more of them.
