Greetings, Adventurers!

Nightveil Hallow returns as Baalphazu, Marquis of Terror rises once again on October 18 until November 14. Banish the shadowy demon back to the darkness, don unique costumes, and trick-or-treat for new candy rewards. You can also purchase new and returning event-specific items in the Event Shop.

Costumes

Transform into some of your favorite characters like Captain Thorpe to celebrate the spooky season. Costumes can be obtained for the duration of the event from Town centerpieces and Baalphazu. Here’s the full selection:

Captain Thorpe
Adiana
Anubian Reaver
Lost Monarch

“Thematically costumes were very fitting for Nightveil,” said System Designer Joel Clift. “Personally I look forward to role playing as Thorpe in the open world and murdering a few denizens of Aeternum. Costumes also open up many doors to create even more memorable interactions in the future.”

Trick-or-Treat

Once you’re in costume, search each town for hidden Treat Baskets. These have a chance to contain new Baalphazu armor pieces (10% chance), 2 Nightveil Tokens (3 times daily), and a new item—candy. This limited-time consumable comes in 4 flavors. Visit multiple Treat Baskets to discover what surprises linger behind every bite.

Items marked with daily limits will reset at 5 AM local time. For example, if a player grabs their third set of Nightveil Tokens from Treat Baskets at 4:58 AM, they’ll be able to earn another at 5:01 AM.

“I wanted to embrace the aspect of ‘Trick-or-Treat’ and get silly with the item design,“ said Joel. ”Some may help you greatly with event activities while others may have unexpected consequences. I can’t wait to see the stories and interactions that come from these small additions.“

Baalphazu

Shapes in the mist! Shrieks in the night! The demon Baalphazu, Marquis of Terror, and his horde of ghoulish Pumpkinites are spreading a living nightmare across Aeternum! Aid Salvatore the Mad in his quest to banish these foul terrors and collect a bounty of Nightveil Hallow rewards!

The Level 66 world boss is back with a vengeance. Join large groups of Adventurers to defeat Baalphazu for new armor pieces (5 times daily), costumes (3 times daily), and Ichor.

Learn more about Baalphazu’s design, lore, Al, and audio, plus insight into each aspect of the event. You’ll also get a glimpse at early Nightveil Hallow concept art from before Baalphazu could cast their first shadow over Aeternum.

QUEST REWARD: NIGHTVEIL HALLOW CACHE

Salvatore the Mad can be found at any Cauldron throughout the towns of Aeternum. Bring him Ichor to prove your victory over Baalphazu and finish the Nightveil Hallow questline. Upon completion, you’ll receive the Nightveil Hallow Cache:

2 Random Nightveil Hallow weapon patterns
