Pumpkin ammunition causes much more damage than other ammunition against the event ships (also on the Gantril boss map, on the Gantril group map and Soul Chaser map)

Quests

You can accept quests by speaking to William Bloodaxe (on Safe Haven). During the quest series you also speak to Loreena Barrett (on Safe Haven).

Gantril Boss Map

Once you have collected enough Ancient Emblems you are able to access the Gantril boss map from the Safe Haven by speaking to Loreena Barrett.

On the Gantril boss map you are faced with Emblas and the boss monster Gantril.

The objective here is to sink Gantril. After surfacing, Gantril summons his helper Embla.

Embla has two skills. First is to create a defensive zone beneath Gantril which mitigate the inflicted damage to the boss. The second is that after a certain time each Embla clones itself. You should sink the emerging Emblas as fast as possible.

Gantril takes a dive every now and then, regenerating himself – call him back quickly by destroying his "snorkel".

The Gantril boss map can of course be completed with the help of hired helper ships.

Two options are available to you here:

Strong helper ships can be hired with "No Cost" option:

Helper ships 1 and 2 have to be freed from traps.
Helper ship 1 sinks all Embla immediately.
Helper ship 2 heals you.​

Weak helper ships can be hired with Plato's coins:

Helper ships 1 and 2 have to be freed from traps.
Helper 1 needs more time to sink the Embla. You also have to help out from time to time.
The healing effect of helper ship 2 is lower​

If you use Solon's Coin you do not get any helper ships. But rewards are highest and your result is Perfect.

NOTE: The more powerful helpers you hire, the bigger is their influence on your final result.

The Gantril boss map can be finished in the following ways: acceptable (with the strong helpers), outstanding (with the weak helpers) and perfect (without helpers).

Rewards for the Gantril boss map

You receive Pearls, Solon´s coin, Magical Emblems, Lords Booty Bag or Kings Booty Bag depending on your score (acceptable, outstanding and perfect). You also have a chance to get one of the following designs: Gargouille, Headless Rider, Terror Lovibond or Eerie Outrider.

Ranking for the Gantril boss map

The Headless Madness ranking tracks the best times (only perfect scores count) and has the following rewards at the end of the event:

Rank	Reward
1.	15 x Firestorm cannons and the new design: "Shadow of Samhain"*
2. - 5.	10 x Firestorm cannons and 1 x Aquarius bonus map
6. - 10.	5 x Firestorm cannons and 1 x Aquarius bonus map
11. - 50.	1 x Aquarius bonus map

*Fallback: 10 Firestorm cannons

The Ghost Gantril group map

In order to play the Ghost Gantril group map you need Magical emblems which you get from one of the daily quests and with chance from the Gantril boss map. If you have collected enough Magical emblems just visit one of the Safe Havens and speak to Loreena Barrett.

The group needs to consist of 5 members and you can choose your role. You can either take the Tank, the Healer or the Damage dealer role. Depending on which role you have chosen you receive a special buff on the Ghost Gantril group map:

Tank buff: - Voodoo points, + Hit points, increased chance to be attacked by group map event ships
Damage dealer buff: Increased damage, reduced chance to be attacked by group map event ships
Healer buff: Increases healing with heal cannons, reduced cannon reload speed, reduced chance to be attacked by group map event ships

The goal on the Ghost Gantril group map is to kill the big boss Gantril. At the start there are Gantril and two different Tendrils. If the Tendril of each kind is killed the Gantril respawns it. After a certain period of time every Tendril respawns a copy of itself. Every tendril buffs Gantril as long as it is alive. The red ones boost Gantril’s attack power while the blue ones boost his defensive values. After Gantril reached a certain amount of hit points, he submerges and 4 underwater Gantrils spawn in 4 corners of the map. Gantril only resurfaces when all of these are destroyed.

As long as Gantril is submerged it heals itself – so you should kill those underwater Gantrils as fast as possible.

Rewards for the group map

You receive Pearls when you and your group finish the Ghost Gantril group map, there is also a chance to get the pet: Doctor Sawbones

New Soul Chaser Map

The Soul Chaser map is an extra event pvp map. Both event admirals just spawn on the Soul Chaser map.

To enter the Soul Chaser map you have to use the “Order of the Soul” item which can be bought at the black market and you receive as quest reward.

Glitters spawn on the Soul Chaser map which contains souls that give a buff for a certain time when it’s collected.

This buff is stackable but if you reach a threshold of 6 souls, you can no longer collect any additional souls. The buff then changes into a radiant soul.

The buff is only available on the Soul Chaser map.

Collecting souls changes the appearance of your ship design into a cursed or a radiant soul.

If a player is sunk or leaves the Soul Chaser map, a glitter drops which contains the souls that the player has collected.

A special zone appears on 1 of 4 defined positions on the Soul Chaser map where the players can exchange their collected souls. This is how it works:

A player loses all collected souls in that zone. Those collected souls count for the “Samhain Savage” ranking:

1 point for Cursed souls
10 points for Radiant Souls​

The special zone stays at that location for a certain time or until a certain number of souls are exchanged. Then the special zone moves to one of the other positions.

Ranking for the Soul Chaser map

The “Samhain Savage” ranking tracks the points for exchanged Souls on the Soul Chaser map and it offers the following daily rewards:

Rank	Reward
1. - 5.	5 x Firestorm cannons and 1 x Aquarius bonus map
6. - 25.	2 x Firestorm cannons and 1 x Aquarius bonus map
26. - 50.	1 x Firestorm cannons and 1 x Aquarius bonus map
