The Veil has introduced its Veil-o-Ween Halloween event, bringing new enemies, bosses, quests, and rewards to the game. Players can collect Halloween Candy, activate special statues, and enter the Haunted Keep to fight through multiple waves of monsters.
The event also includes several bosses, with the final encounter featuring an enemy called the Lord that has 75,000 HP. Defeating every boss can be challenging, especially if you attempt to complete the event alone. This guide covers the main steps shown during the Halloween event, including how to collect Candy, unlock the Haunted Keep, progress through its waves, and prepare for the strongest boss.
How to Start the Veil-o-Ween Event
To begin the Halloween questline, look for the West Giver NPC. This character helps you progress through the event and access the Haunted Keep. Before entering the new area, you need to collect enough Halloween Candy. The event also requires you to activate three special statues scattered around the map. Make sure you have enough supplies before starting the quest, as the Haunted Keep contains several waves of enemies that become stronger as you progress.
How to Get Halloween Candy
Halloween Candy is one of the main resources used during Veil-o-Ween. You need it to activate the statues and enter the Haunted Keep. You can collect Candy by defeating Halloween enemies and progressing through the event. However, not every enemy is guaranteed to drop Candy, so farming may take some time.
Here are a few things to keep in mind:
- Defeat Halloween enemies to collect Candy.
- Check your Candy total regularly to avoid unnecessary farming.
- Complete event quests for additional rewards.
- Prepare enough Candy before returning to the West Giver NPC.
The Haunted Keep queue requires 100 Haunted Candy according to the gameplay shown in the video. Make sure you have the required amount before attempting to enter.
How to Activate All Three Halloween Statues
One of the early objectives requires you to find and activate three statues around the map. You need to offer Candy to each statue to light it up.
Follow these steps:
- Explore the map and locate the first statue.
- Interact with it and offer the required Candy.
- Find the second statue and repeat the process.
- Travel to the other side of the map to search for the final statue.
- Offer Candy to the last statue to complete the objective.
The statues are spread across different areas, so reaching all three can take some time. Pay attention to your surroundings and avoid wasting time running toward the wrong side of the map.
Once all three statues are lit, return to the West Giver NPC to continue the Halloween questline.
How to Enter the Haunted Keep
After completing the statue objective, speak to the West Giver NPC again. You can then progress toward the Haunted Keep, provided you have enough Haunted Candy.
The Haunted Keep is a wave-based survival challenge. Instead of fighting one enemy at a time, you must defeat groups of monsters before moving to the next wave.
Before entering, consider preparing the following:
- Healing and utility items: Bring useful potions to help you survive longer.
- Stamina potions: These can help if your combat style requires frequent movement or stamina.
- Summons: Companions such as Sky Saint Guardians can provide additional damage during battles.
- Suitable equipment: Stronger enemies appear in later waves, so use your best available gear.
You can enter alone, but solo runs may take longer and become much harder as the enemy count increases. Joining other players is worth considering if you want a better chance of progressing through the later encounters.
Haunted Keep Wave Progression
The Haunted Keep contains multiple waves of enemies, with stronger encounters appearing as you advance. The gameplay shown in the video includes regular monster waves and boss fights at certain milestones.
Early Waves
The first few waves focus on defeating groups of monsters. The number of enemies increases as you progress, and later groups become stronger.
Use your summons and available abilities to clear enemies efficiently. You should also keep track of your health and avoid wasting stamina on unnecessary movement.
Wave 5 Boss
A boss appears during the early wave progression, providing your first major encounter inside the Haunted Keep.
The boss shown in the gameplay has around 1,500 HP. Compared with the final boss, this encounter is much easier to handle.
After defeating it, you can continue progressing through the event and collect rewards, including the Jack-o-Bomb mentioned in the video.
Waves 6–9
The following waves introduce more enemies, including additional Halloween monsters. The number of enemies you need to defeat increases, and some enemies have abilities that can make the fights more difficult.
One notable enemy is the Reaper, which can summon additional monsters. This ability can make later waves more crowded, so try to defeat dangerous enemies before their summoned units overwhelm you.
Other enemies shown during the event include:
- Mummies
- Witches
- Vampires
- Reapers
Continue clearing each wave until you reach the next boss encounter.
Wave 10 Boss
Another boss appears around Wave 10. This encounter is more demanding than the early boss fights, so use your summons and combat abilities carefully.
Focus on dealing consistent damage while avoiding attacks. If you are playing with other players, coordinate your attacks to defeat the boss more quickly.
Waves 11–14
The later waves become increasingly time-consuming. Enemies have higher difficulty, and you may need to defeat large groups before advancing.
Keep your stamina and healing supplies ready. Summons can help with damage, but do not rely on them entirely, especially when fighting enemies that can attack multiple targets.
Once you clear these waves, you can prepare for the major encounter at Wave 15.
Wave 15 Boss: The Haunted Tree
The Haunted Tree is one of the major bosses encountered during the Haunted Keep progression. The fight can be difficult because the boss deals significant damage and can threaten both players and their summons.
During the gameplay shown in the video, the player and other participants manage to defeat the boss by continuing to attack while using summons for extra damage.
To improve your chances of winning:
- Keep attacking whenever it is safe to do so.
- Use summons to increase your damage output.
- Watch the boss instead of focusing only on your own attacks.
- Heal when necessary and avoid standing in dangerous areas.
- Work with other players if possible.
Defeating the Haunted Tree allows you to continue the event and collect rewards. However, useful drops are not guaranteed, so you may need to complete more runs if you want specific items.
Final Boss: The Lord With 75,000 HP
The strongest boss shown in the Veil-o-Ween gameplay is the Lord, which has approximately 75,000 HP. This encounter is significantly harder than the earlier bosses. The Lord has powerful attacks that can defeat players very quickly, even when they have made it through most of the Haunted Keep.
The gameplay suggests that fighting this boss alone is extremely difficult. Another player attempting the encounter is also defeated by the boss’s attacks.
If you want to challenge the Lord, consider these preparations:
- Improve your damage output before attempting the fight.
- Bring enough healing and stamina supplies.
- Use your strongest available summons.
- Team up with other players rather than relying on a solo run.
- Learn the boss’s attack patterns and avoid standing in dangerous areas.
The video does not show the Lord being defeated, so the exact rewards for completing this final encounter remain unconfirmed.
Tips for Completing Veil-o-Ween Faster
The Halloween event can take a considerable amount of time, especially when farming Candy and clearing multiple waves. These tips can help make your progression more manageable.
- Farm Candy before entering: Collect the required 100 Haunted Candy first so you do not have to interrupt your run.
- Activate all three statues early: Complete the statue objective before returning to the West Giver.
- Use summons: Summons can help deal damage to regular enemies and bosses.
- Bring potions: Healing and stamina supplies can be useful during longer encounters.
- Play with a group: Later waves and the Lord boss are much more challenging when attempting them alone.
- Manage your inventory: Make room for rewards before fighting bosses so you do not miss useful drops.
- Do not rush the final boss: Improve your equipment and damage before attempting the 75,000-HP encounter.
Veil-o-Ween adds a lengthy Halloween questline to The Veil, with Candy farming, three statues, the Haunted Keep, and several boss encounters. Players must clear increasingly difficult waves before reaching the major bosses, including the Haunted Tree and the Lord with 75,000 HP.
The early encounters are more manageable, but the later waves can take a long time and become difficult for solo players. Collect enough Candy, prepare useful potions, and bring strong summons before entering the Haunted Keep. If your goal is to complete the entire event, playing with a group and preparing for the final boss will give you a better starting point.
