Arise Crossover Halloween Event Guide: All Islands, Rewards, Raids, and Dracula

The Halloween event in Arise Crossover brings new islands, limited rewards, special raids, and several activities across different worlds. Players can collect Soul Candy, unlock event weapons, obtain new shadows, and take part in Halloween Night. The second part of the update also introduces Blood Moon Manor, a challenging dungeon with exclusive rewards and the Dracula shadow.

There are also several changes outside the Halloween event, including two new islands, higher ranks, guild missions, and additional progression systems. Here is a complete guide covering the main Halloween features and everything added in the latest updates.

All Halloween Event Islands in Arise Crossover

The Halloween event is spread across three worlds, with each one receiving its own themed island. These locations have unique enemies, shops, and cauldrons, giving players different places to farm Soul Candy and collect event rewards.

Here are the three Halloween islands:

• Pumpkin Hollow: Located in World One.
• Blood Moon Woods: Located in World Two.
• Eclipse Necropolis: Located in World Three.

Each island has Halloween-related activities, so make sure to explore them instead of staying in only one location. You can also visit the event shops to check which weapons, relics, keys, and upgrade materials are available.

How to Get Soul Candy

Soul Candy is the main currency used during the Halloween event. You can collect it by defeating enemies, fighting bosses, completing dungeons, participating in raids, and doing other activities around the game.

One important thing to check is the daily featured mode. This activity provides double Soul Candy, making it a better farming option when you want to collect event currency quickly.

Soul Candy can be spent on several items, including:

• Halloween event weapons.
• Relics and accessories.
• Dungeon and raid keys.
• Upgrade materials.
• Other limited event rewards.

You should also visit the Shop NPCs and check their Out-of-Season tab. This section brings back selected rewards from previous events, including souls, relics, and accessories. It is useful for players who missed older updates and still want to collect some of their rewards.

Candy Road Rewards

Candy Road is a reward track that progresses as you collect Soul Candy. It contains 63 reward steps, giving you more items as you continue farming during the event.

Some of the notable rewards include Candy Reaper, Sugar Witch, mounts, and the Soul Candy Lantern at step 10. Since Candy Road progresses alongside your normal farming activities, you do not need to complete a separate challenge for every reward.

Remember to check the reward track regularly and claim any unlocked items. Otherwise, you might continue farming without collecting rewards you have already earned.

Nightmare Pass Guide

The Nightmare Pass is another reward system available during the Halloween event. It contains 200 levels and remains active until Christmas, giving players plenty of time to complete its missions and unlock the available rewards.

You can progress through the pass by completing daily and weekly missions. There are three daily missions and up to five weekly missions, so checking their requirements before choosing an activity can help you make progress toward several rewards at once.

The pass has two reward tracks:

• Free Track: Includes Soul Harvester, an important weapon required to craft the Spectral Blade.
• Premium Track: Includes Witch Quera, Vampire Baron, additional mounts, and other rewards.

If you are interested in crafting the Spectral Blade, make sure to work toward Soul Harvester on the free track.

Trick or Treat Raid Guide

The Trick or Treat activity is available through a special gate in Pumpkin Hollow. To enter, interact with the giant pumpkin to receive a free reusable pass. This means you do not need to purchase a new pass every time you want to participate.

The raid consists of 12 rooms, where you will encounter different choices and enemies. In each section, you can choose between Treat and Trick, with both options offering different rewards.

Here is how the choices work:

• Treat: Gives you a chest, although there is a chance that the chest will be a mimic.
• Trick: Spawns an elite enemy that provides double loot.

At the end of the raid, you will face the Masquerade Monarch. Defeating this boss gives you a chance to arise him as a shadow.

The Trick or Treat raid also contains several collectibles, including relics, accessory pieces, and mounts. If you want to collect everything from the Halloween update, this is one of the activities worth repeating.

Ancient Hospital and Halloween Raid

Ancient Hospital and the older Halloween raid have also returned. Ancient Hospital is free to enter and opens twice every hour, making it an activity you can complete without spending your Soul Candy on an entry key.

Your objective inside Ancient Hospital is to collect 10 Seal Fragments. Once you have gathered enough fragments, you can exchange them for a normal Halloween raid key.

For higher difficulties, you need to visit the Spooky Shop and purchase keys using Candy Shards. Hard and Nightmare keys are available there, allowing you to access more challenging versions of the raid.

Be careful when choosing your difficulty because the Halloween Monarch rewards are different:

• Normal and Hard: Give the Halloween Monarch shadow.
• Nightmare: Gives the Halloween Monarch version with a different shadow reward.

The names are similar, but they are not the same shadow. Check the difficulty before spending your keys if you are farming a particular version.

Halloween Night Event

Halloween Night is a timed activity that normally appears every two hours and lasts for 20 minutes. During this period, pumpkins become available for players to open and collect rewards.

You can also fill the Spirit Meter by participating in the activity. Once the meter is full, the Pumpkin King will appear as a boss that players can fight.

Defeating the Pumpkin King gives you a chance to arise him. It also provides a 50% boost to drops and EXP for one hour, making this event useful for players who want to improve their farming progress.

However, you do not always need to wait two hours for Halloween Night. The global cauldron can make the event appear hourly when players contribute enough Soul Candy toward its shared goals.

Global Cauldron and Server Boosts

The Global Cauldron is a community activity where players contribute Soul Candy to reach shared goals. Each completed goal unlocks additional rewards and server-wide boosts.

The second update expanded the cauldron to eight tiers, adding more rewards and bonuses for everyone on the server. These boosts include:

• Cash bonuses.
• Gem bonuses.
• EXP bonuses.
• Drop rate bonuses.

You should check the Cauldron tab to see the current goals and which rewards are available. Once the community reaches a goal, remember to claim the unlocked rewards instead of leaving them uncollected.

Haunted Houses and Limited Shadows

Haunted Houses have also returned to older islands. These locations give players another way to collect limited Halloween shadows without relying entirely on the main event raids.

Each Haunted House can be visited once per day across servers. There are six limited shadows available through this activity, and the system includes pity to help players work toward obtaining them.

Keep in mind that switching servers will not reset a Haunted House you have already used that day. You will need to wait for the daily reset before attempting it again.

Blood Moon Manor Guide

Blood Moon Manor is one of the biggest additions in the second part of the Halloween update. Unlike some of the other activities, this mode has entry requirements. You must reach World Two and Rank SS before you can access it.

Once you meet the requirements, travel to Blood Moon Woods and find the Manor door. Interact with it to obtain a reusable pass, then start the activity through the Dungeons menu.

Blood Moon Manor contains 40 doors, with a timer, traps, treasure rooms, and special events such as Blood Tide. You will need to move carefully because some encounters can make the run more difficult.

One of the main threats is the Countess. When she starts hunting players, you must hide inside a coffin or closet to avoid being caught.

How to Destroy the Three Blood Seals

There are three Blood Seals inside Blood Moon Manor, located behind doors 13, 26, and 36. These seals must be destroyed before you can reach the final boss.

However, you cannot attack the seals immediately because Butlers protect them. You must defeat the Butlers first to remove their protection, then destroy the seals.

Follow this order:

1. Reach door 13 and defeat the Butlers protecting the first Blood Seal.
2. Destroy the first seal.
3. Continue through the manor until you reach door 26.
4. Defeat the Butlers and destroy the second seal.
5. Proceed to door 36 and repeat the process.
6. After destroying all three seals, continue to door 40.
7. Fight Countess Vessel to complete the manor.

The final encounter takes place behind door 40. Make sure you are prepared before reaching this room, especially when playing on the higher difficulties.

Blood Moon Manor Difficulties

Blood Moon Manor has three difficulty levels: Normal, Hard, and Nightmare. You must complete the lower difficulty to unlock the next one.

• Normal: The starting difficulty. Completing it unlocks Hard.
• Hard: Offers better rewards and unlocks Nightmare after completion.
• Nightmare: The most challenging version, with only one life available.

Nightmare requires extra care because getting caught by the Countess ends your run. However, the rewards are also better, including increased Soul Candy drops.

Hard difficulty provides double Soul Candy, while Nightmare provides triple Soul Candy. If you can survive the higher difficulty, it can be a much better farming option.

How to Get Dracula in Arise Crossover

Dracula is one of the main shadow rewards from Blood Moon Manor. Some players may remember this shadow being called Alucard, but a later patch changed its name to Dracula and increased its drop chances.

The chance of obtaining Dracula depends on the difficulty you complete:

• Normal: 2% chance.
• Hard: 4% chance.
• Nightmare: 10% chance.

Dracula also always arises at Senior Plus, so you do not need to worry about receiving a lower ranking when obtaining this shadow.

Higher difficulties are clearly better if you are farming Dracula. However, Nightmare is much more dangerous because you only have one life, so make sure your team and build are strong enough before attempting it.

Other Blood Moon Manor Rewards

Dracula is not the only reason to complete Blood Moon Manor. The activity also includes Countess Vessel, mounts, five new relics, and two accessory sets.

The accessory sets have different bonuses depending on where you obtain them.

• Blood Moon Accessories: Dropped by Countess Vessel. These accessories focus on EXP and Luck bonuses.
• Grave Warden’s Hoard: Obtained from locked chests. This set focuses on Gems and Coins.

There are also two relics that are exclusive to Hard and Nightmare difficulties:

• Crown of the Crimson Monarch.
• Blade of the Scarlet Eclipse.

Vampire Jinwoo is another Nightmare reward. This gives players more reasons to complete the highest difficulty beyond its improved Dracula drop rate.

How to Get Spectral Essence and Upgrade Shadows

Blood Moon Manor introduces Spectral Essence, a special material used to upgrade shadows. You can use this item on a shadow to make it Spectral Forged.

A Spectral Forged shadow receives a 25% damage increase and gains a special visual effect. The upgrade also remains active when you rank the shadow up, so you do not lose the improvement when progressing its rank.

This system is important because it connects directly to the new Spectral Blade weapon and its special passive ability.

How to Get the Spectral Blade

The Spectral Blade is a limited weapon introduced in the Halloween update. To craft it, you need four specific weapons:

• Soul Harvester.
• Pumpkin Smasher.
• Bat Fang.
• Demon Reaper.

Soul Harvester is available through the free Nightmare Pass, while the other weapons are connected to the Halloween content.

The Spectral Blade becomes stronger as its forge level increases. It also has eight White Gem slots, and these slots can accept any type of gem.

Spectral Blade Passive: Phantom Requiem

The Spectral Blade has a passive ability called Phantom Requiem. It activates every 30 seconds and affects the next ultimate attack used by each equipped Spectral Forged shadow.

The effect makes the next ultimate deal at least 0.1% of the enemy’s maximum health. It can affect up to 15 shadows, giving players a way to deal additional damage against enemies with large health pools.

Dracula receives an even stronger version of this effect:

• Without Spectral Forged: Dracula gets three times the effect.
• With Spectral Forged: Dracula gets five times the effect.

Keep in mind that Phantom Requiem does not add percentage damage to every normal attack. It only applies to the next ultimate after the passive’s 30-second interval.

Bat Fang and Demon Reaper also received buffs, bringing their weapon levels up to Island 31. This makes them more useful for players progressing through the latest content.

New Islands: Misfit Academy and Death City

Outside the Halloween event, Arise Crossover has also received two new islands: Misfit Academy and Death City. These are Islands 30 and 31, adding more progression content for players who have reached the later stages of the game.

Both islands introduce new shadows, weapons, and dungeons. Death City also features Halls of the Duomo and a special key dungeon where you fight Kishin Asura.

These additions give players more reasons to continue progressing after completing the earlier islands. If you have already finished the previous content, these two locations provide new enemies and rewards to work toward.

New Rank UL and Progression Changes

The maximum progression rank has been increased to UL. This update also unlocks Senior Plus shadow ranking, giving players another level of progression for their shadows.

The Rebirth cap has also increased to 85, allowing players to continue improving their characters beyond the previous limit.

These changes are especially useful for players who have already reached the previous endgame. With new islands, higher ranks, and additional upgrades, there is more content to complete outside the Halloween event.

New Guild Missions and Guild Boss

Guilds have received new weekly missions that track progress across different servers. Members can contribute to these missions by completing the required activities, with rewards available for players who take part.

There is also a new Guild Boss that requires teamwork. Each player can deal a maximum of 25% of the boss’s total health, so defeating it requires multiple members to participate.

You must deal at least 5% damage to qualify for the rewards. Blood effects also do not work against this boss, so you will need to rely on your regular damage setup.

A new Bank NPC has also been added to the Guild Hall. Interestingly, you do not need to join a guild to use this feature. The bank helps organize items and can automatically store matching drops, making inventory management easier.

However, the bank and your regular inventory share the same total capacity. It does not provide completely separate storage space, so you will still need to manage your items.

Titan Altar and New Boss Rush Difficulties

The new Titan Altar allows players to summon a World Boss by using a crafted Titan Sigil. This gives players another way to challenge powerful enemies and collect rewards outside the normal dungeon system.

Boss Rush has also received three additional difficulties:

• Ultimate.
• Deadly.
• Impossible.

Each difficulty offers new rewards, but these challenges are designed for players who want tougher fights. Blood effects do not work in any of these three new Boss Rush difficulties, so keep that restriction in mind when preparing your build.

Quality-of-Life Changes in Arise Crossover

The latest updates also introduce several changes that make the game easier to play, especially for returning players. These adjustments improve farming, team management, and the overall interface. Here are the main quality-of-life changes:

• Personal Enemy Copies: Players now fight their own copies of island enemies. Another player defeating enemies on the same island will no longer prevent you from finding your targets.
• Free Auto Arise: Auto Arise is now available without requiring its game pass.
• Individual Potion Controls: You can pause potions separately instead of stopping all of them together.
• Team Categories: Teams can now be built around specific goals, including damage, EXP, and drops.
• Classic Interface: Players who prefer the old menus can select Classic under Settings and Interface.
• Collection Tab: Check the Collection tab to see where specific event rewards come from.

The Collection tab is particularly useful when you are unsure how to obtain a weapon, relic, shadow, or accessory. Instead of searching through every event activity, you can check its listed source.

The Arise Crossover Halloween update adds plenty of content, from three themed islands and Soul Candy farming to Trick or Treat raids and Blood Moon Manor. There are also several limited shadows, weapons, accessories, and relics to collect, with Dracula and the Spectral Blade being two of the major additions.

If you are returning after a break, start by checking the Nightmare Pass missions, daily featured mode, and Global Cauldron. These activities can help you collect rewards while making progress toward the event’s larger goals. Once you meet the requirements, try Blood Moon Manor and work toward its higher difficulties for better rewards.
