Summary for Patch 3.5.0
Last Modified: 7th of November, 2021
Hey y’all, we’re deeply sorry for the delay of this years Halloween event.
The significant delay was caused by a combination of poor timing on Roblox’s half (a 60 hour downtime!) and that some of our team had other obligations with family & friends. We had planned to work before Halloween, not after, so a lot of our personal schedules interfered with working on the update.
Special thanks to everyone on the team who have made this Halloween event happen!

Known issues:
Since we have been under a lot of time pressure, there’s some known issues we’re still working on:
-
The in-game quests menu has been removed. This is due to the fact we’re re-writing the entire progression system and sadly, we couldn’t get it to a completed state at the time of this update.
-
Non-player characters such as the Skeletons may have stability issues; we’ve been trying our best the last few days to refine the NPC system but due to time pressure, we sadly couldn’t address every issue with them.
-
Explosive arrows do not stick to non-player characters such as Skeletons
Halloween 2021 Rewards:
- New Wendigo horse from killing the Wendigo (Wendigo skull is horse armour!)
- New cursed human skull lantern from killing Skeletons
- New cursed volcanic pistol for killing the Legendary Skeleton in the Underworld
- New pumpkin hat accessories which can be dropped by enemies
- Legendary Skeleton has a chance to drop a new special dagger
