Trick or Treat (Halloween Ring Scenario) is back!
Posted: Fri Oct 29, 2010 6:41 pm
With Halloween around the corner again, I'll once again be hosting my Trick or Treat scenario from Halloween 2008, probably the most popular Ring scenario I've made.
The goal of this scenario is to go Trick-or-treating past tent doors until you've gathered 10 Treats. However, every time you do you might also get a nasty Trick! Collect 10 Treats and hand them in to the mission officer at the start to win the scenario.
How it works:
The difficulty of the encounters varies widely. Most can be taken alone by a level 200+ melee, but every tent has a chance to spawn something that even a level 250 player has no chance against. After all, what's Halloween if there's nothing to be scared of?
But because of the random chance to get a Treat, and the reset button, even a level 1 player can complete this scenario if they don't mind dieing a bunch of times. (There's no Death Penalty in the Ring, and it's a myth that dieing wears out your gear, so death costs nothing.)
Additional pointers:
Have fun! And remember, for maximum eeriness while playing this scenario, you'll want to turn your sound on, your compass off, and sit in a dark room.

How it works:
- There are six different tents scattered around. Click on a tent to Trick-or-Treat at it.
- If you get a Treat, a chest will spawn nearby.
- If you get a Trick, something nasty will spawn nearby and try to rip you into pieces, and you'll have to kill it to make the chest spawn.
- Either way, open the chest to receive a treat.
- You can Trick-or-Treat at any tent more than once, but not twice in a row at the same tent.

Additional pointers:
- The Zoraï tent only works from the front, the Fyros tent only from the side.
- If the first tent you try doesn't work, probably the last player left it inactive. Try another tent or press the reset button.
- If the reset button doesn't work, try waiting two minutes first to see if it comes back.
