Halloween Festival

Halloween Festival (ハロウィン祭) was a holiday game event in YGGDRASIL.

Background
A holiday event that occurred on Halloween in YGGDRASIL.

Purpose of Event
According to the lore, it is a memorial for ghosts. During this time pumpkins are possessed by the spirits of the dead creating Jack-O-Lanterns. These monsters come out and attack players. Since these monsters are a type of undead, smashing them will prove useless, so in order to eliminate them, players must hollow the pumpkins and light flame inside. In doing so the spirit is banished from the pumpkin and the spirit is at peace. The after result creates a jack-o-lantern which can be used as a decoration. As an option players can dress in various costumes during the event and call out "Trick or Treat."

Aftermath
This event was possibly hosted in the game until its subsequent shut down. The details of this event were archived into an event book, title Halloween Festival and styled as a ritual book. One is found in the Great Tomb of Nazarick in Ashurbanipal and later used to avert a crisis when pumpkin monsters infested Nazarick.
