The Dark Harvest Festival is an annual Event.

Overview

This event honors the mischievous Punkin King in order to ensure a healthy fall harvest for Haven. All Clockwork Tunnels-style levels like Power Complexes and Blast Chambers now have a chance of featuring special rooms inhabited by the Punkin King. Simply hop on the party pad and discover if the Punkin King has candy tokens or something else in store for you! - Forum Post.

Gameplay

The Dark Harvest on the Mission Interface.

Arcade

The Punkin King can be found in areas that spawn in Clockwork Tunnels-Style levels in the Arcade during the event. Similar to Scenario Rooms, these areas have a chance to randomly appear in appropriate arcade levels. Players should be prepared for a TRICK or a TREAT when stepping on the party button in these rooms.

Prestige

The Dark Harvest is a prestige mission where you can find the Punkin King. This mission can be completed once per day and is only available during this event.

Rewards and Prizes

Token Exchange

Along with the merrily menacing monster that is the Pumpkin King, there are several other things out there to show off the Dark Harvest spirit! Maskwell and Bulky come to town with their plethora of masks, only wanting candy in return! These masks come in three fabulous flavors, each in three varieties.


Prize Boxes

In addition to the costumes, Maskwell also has Dark Harvest Prize Boxes for trade. Dark Harvest Prize Boxes contain random unbound items.

Notes

Haven will have a spooky atmosphere and soundtrack for the duration of this event.

Other events considered "scary" or "spooky" by the community (such as the Shroud of the Apocrea) are not directly tied into the Dark Harvest Festival. These events just sometimes occur simultaneously.
