During the event, the entire game is locked in nighttime mode.  This is not just a visual effect.  All aspects of the game that depend on a day/night cycle are locked to the night side during the event.  Enemies that only spawn at night spawn continuously during the event.  [[Banisher Badge|Banisher]], [[The Slayer Badge|The Slayer]], and [[Haunted Badge|Haunted]] badges (Hero side) and [[Pirate Badge|Pirate]] and [[Spectral Badge|Spectral]] badges (Villain side) are examples of badges for which hunting will be much easier during the event.
 
  
Note that some zones, such as [[The Hive]] and [[The Abyss]] are unaffected by Eternal Night.

Halloween Giant Monsters

There will be a spawn of either Eochai or Jack in Irons in every zone in which the event is active. Once one is defeated, another of the two will spawn in the same zone within a minute or two. Originally, for each spawn, there is a 90% chance that it will be Eochai, and a 10% chance that it will be Jack in Irons. The chance of Jack in Irons spawning was raised with the October 21, 2010 patch but the new chance of it spawning is unknown. Additionally, Jack in Irons only spawns in level 20 and up zones.

Faultline did not have any Giant Monster spawns during the 2007 event. The zone gained spawns during the 2008 event.

The Halloween GMs show up with small pumpkins marking their spawn site. This is the easiest way to tell a Halloween GM from a normal zone GM. Particle Physics in options must be set to at least Low to see the pumpkin patch.

Unseelie Court

The Unseelie Court was a new enemy group added for the 2006 event. They accompany the random zone spawns of Halloween Eochai and Jack in Irons.


Badges

Pumpkin-marked Eochai

These badges are awarded for defeating Halloween Giant Monsters and their attendant minions.


File:Badge event hallowspirit.png Hallow Spirit

You have helped defeat a manifestation of Eochai, king of the Fir Bolg.

File:Badges Iron Warrior.png Iron Warrior

You have defeated the Halloween Jack in Irons.

File:Badges ghost touched.png Ghost Touched

You have defeated 20 of the Unseelie Court.

NOTE: The normal Croatoa Eochai and Jack in Irons still spawn during the Halloween Event and do not count toward their Halloween badges. They still reward their year round badges, Pumpkin King and Giant Killer.

Make sure you are fighting a GM within the pumpkin patch. If there are no pumpkins marking the spawn site, it is the zone GM and not the Halloween GM. Particle Physics in options must be set to at least Low to see the pumpkin patch.


Maps of Halloween Giant Monster Spawn Sites

NOTE: Not all the spawn sites for the Halloween Giant Monsters have been documented. If you have the /loc for a spawn site not shown in these images, let us know.

Badge time.png This article or section contains information that no longer applies to the current version of City of Heroes Freedom. It is provided for historical purposes.
  • After the release of Issue 21, Galaxy City was no longer accessible outside of the destroyed version in the tutorial or the Echo available via Ouroboros in which the Halloween GMs don't spawn (is this accurate?). Pictured are the locations were Eochai would spawn during the Halloween Event.
