How to Get a FREE Elsa in the Thanksgiving Event of Capybara Go!

The Thanksgiving Event in Capybara Go! is brimming with exciting new features, including a chance to obtain the highly sought-after Elsa Arcana artifact. This guide will walk you through the special mechanics of this event and share a trick that may help you snag Elsa for free, even as a free-to-play player. From game mechanics like the Turkey Festival and the Great Harvest to tips on how to maximize your chances, this event offers several ways to earn valuable rewards without spending money.

Capybara Go! What’s New in the Thanksgiving Event?

This Thanksgiving Event introduces some fascinating features, most notably the Elsa Arcana artifact, which can transform your pets in powerful ways. However, obtaining these Arcana collectibles is no easy task. They aren’t easy to come by, as one player reported opening 44 gem chests without finding a single one. The event also offers other rewards, such as upgrades to gear, new cosmetics, and various quests that can earn you exclusive items. Here’s a breakdown of the main event mechanics:

The Turkey Festival: Cappy Machine with a Twist

The Turkey Festival follows a similar format to the familiar Cappy Machine but with a few twists. Instead of a square grid, players will use a circle to trigger rewards. There’s a pity system in place, where after 500 tries, you are guaranteed to get something special.

Elsa can be obtained through the Great Harvest section, located at the top of the board. There’s a free-to-play option to get Elsa, but it’s definitely a bit of a challenge. However, don’t let that discourage you. With some smart strategies, it’s achievable.

The Great Harvest: Using a Monopoly-Style Board

The Great Harvest event features a unique game board with mechanics that resemble Monopoly, where you roll dice to move around and land on spaces that reward you with various items. The spaces include pumpkins, dice, and special mini-games such as the Crystal Ball and Dig Treasure.

How to Maximize Your Chances:

1. Dice and Pumpkins: The more pumpkins you gather, the more chances you get to play the mini-games and collect rewards. You need these pumpkins to fill the Harvest Time Meter, which increases your chances of landing Elsa.
2. Multiplying Your Rewards: When you are nearing the Crystal Ball mini-game, switch your multiplier to x5. This will increase the number of pumpkins you earn when you land on the mini-game, improving your chances of filling the Harvest Time Meter faster.
3. Jail Space: Landing on the Jail space in the Great Harvest board isn’t a bad thing. Instead of just “visiting,” you’ll roll the dice three times, and if you get doubles, you earn additional dice to keep playing.
4. The Mining Cart: If you land on the mining cart, it will move you across the board, refreshing the available rewards. This can help you gather more pumpkins and boost your progress.

Can You Really Get Elsa for Free?

Yes! While it’s a challenge for free-to-play players, it’s still possible to earn Elsa without spending any money. The key is patience and maximizing every opportunity to collect pumpkins and dice. As you play the Great Harvest game, you’ll gradually fill up the meter, increasing your chances of unlocking Elsa and other high-tier rewards.

Additionally, the Harvest Time Meter fills faster with your multiplied pumpkins, and you can also earn free rewards as you complete quests. So, if you’re dedicated, you could eventually land Elsa without needing to buy the special packs or spend gems.

Should You Spend Gems?

If you’re really determined to get Elsa or other Arcana artifacts, you can purchase the Turkey Costume or Lucky Box for a guaranteed chance at unlocking the Elsa artifact. But as mentioned earlier, this isn’t strictly necessary. If you’re saving gems for Mythic Weapons or other long-term goals, there are ways to get by without spending extra money.
