A Guide To The Diabolical Pumpkins Event ***This event is still being worked on, so this guide is subject to change.*** I'm running lvl75, fully ranked w/ fully upgraded primo gear & supermaxes.
So do bare that in mind!
Everything you see in Zone Progression is communal.
Aside from the Attraction Bonus, Mystic Pumpkins counter & Defeat Headless Horseman task. !!!Perfumes stack in stage 2 & 3!!!
-
Stage 1 Attraction Bonus
It only goes up when you defeat Hallowed Reapers or turn in Mystic Pumpkins in Stage 2.
(It goes up 5% for around every 50 HR you defeat)
Increases your chances of finding Zombified Themes.
It resets once you encounter a Zombified Themed inside the Portal Areas.
(As it only applies to Stage 2, within the Portal Areas)
-
Defeat Hallowed Reapers
Very self-explanatory, defeat HR to increase % to 100%.
Once it reaches 100%, at the next 5min tick, there will be a 15 min timer counting down to stage 2.
During this countdown, you can see the portals in 3 spots.
Ignore the varying qualities of these images, I will update when I can.
-
One in the Hay Maze
One in the Ruins
One in the Caves
-
Stage 2 You have 20 mins to survive. Get all 3 portal's power to 100%
Defeat Pumpkin Minions.
Having a party set up of Tank/Light/ Air or Fire is recommended for Tiers 4-5,
maybe 3.
(If you don't want to use potions/elixirs too often)
Light or Water/Cannon/Cannon might work for Tiers 1-3, although have not tested.
You can encounter Zombified Themeds outside of the portal area, however the chances are low. (The attraction bonus does not apply)
Depending on the tier, Pumpkin Minions can come in parties of 1-3, a Zombified Themed appears on their own.
Tiers 1-3 tend to see 1-3 Pumpkin Minions, Tier 4 seeing 2-3, whilst Tiers 5 always see 3 Pumpkin Minions.
They drop 1 Mystic Pumpkin each. Each one serves as 1%.
They can also drop the following:
Chocolate Coins
Salvaged Catalysts (Regular, Fabled, or Majestic)
Mystery Brew Catalysts
Regular Vial Holder
As for a strategy, take them down one by one, rather than all at once.
If you would like to sit out of this event, there are safe places!
Anywhere that isn't in the Portal Areas, is a safe place. Such as the water or graveyard.
In the following image, you can encounter Pumpkin Minions in that part of the path, as said part would count for the forest.
You use the MPs you gather to put in the portals, however when you put them in, it will automatically go down every minute if the % is under 100%.
Once a portal reaches 100%, it'll remain static.
Be sure put any MPs you have in the portal near the end, as they disappear after the event is over.
Even after all portals are at 100%, you can still turn them in for your attraction bonus.
(~25 MPs per 5%)
Each portal that reaches 100% increases your chances of finding a themed in the area that the 100% that's active. When all 3 portals are at 100%, the chances are increased even more.
-
Stage 3 You have 10 mins to defeat the Horseless Horseman &/OR use perfumes to hunt for Themes. I've found that Earth or Water/Air/Light works, however if you've defeated the HH with a different party set up, feel free to post it here!
V I've tried it myself & it goes a lot faster than the team I previously stated.
I have been using earth/water/fire quite easily, no knockouts. All fully ranked/full *5 primo gear. Tried water/fire/fire and earth/fire/fire to no avail. Extra note- when he moves into the second stage he and horse are given full health and all debuffs are cleared so its a waste to try to use mana attacks on the move before
keeping track of how many times i fight him and if i get pet drops
5x-2p
First, you want to have full mana going in.
Block first turn, & every time he reaches 0 mana.
If you use Water you don't need to block if you use the ice sphere/shield to absorb the attack.
& if you're struggling, block middle pet at 50 mana as well.
If you use Earth, keeping him taunted helps.
After you take him down, then comes the second stage, where he splits into the Demonic Steed & Headless Horseman, both at full health.
Again, maintain the same strategy as before, applying it to both
Take down the DS first. If you're using lvl75 Air or Fire, it's best to use the 5th ability at this stage.
Continue until they're defeated.
-
These are the rewards they drop. Amount may vary depending on tier.
Other rewards you can get, however not guaranteed:
Fabled Catalyst (Instead of a Mystery Catalyst)
A 2vis Halloween Themed Pet
Cultist's Ceremonial Watcher (Pumpkin Jack)
Premium Vial Holder (Instead of a Regular Vial Holder)
I'm not sure if some rewards are T5 only, or that the chances are just lower for lower tiers.
-
You can encounter Zombified Themes outside of designated Portal Areas during Stage 3.

confirming that the held is not a guaranteed drop- I've beaten him three times and it's just been the regular boring stuff
fought him with our main team, earth/light/air, not sure I can add anything to the fight info since it's pretty boring and straightforward seeming (I say as a person who has beaten Vexxar with said team). Mostly jst seems like a more easy (since no need to do slot juggling) but more hp version of temple horseman I guess
