"extra" boss in Halloween trial


Agent White

 

Posted

As mentioned in the recent Intrepid Informer dev interview piece, the Halloween Trial is supposed to contain an extra boss (or perhaps Elite Boss; I can't recall) as an "easter egg." How the heck do you get this thing to spawn? I've been told you need to speak to the NPC Devil Girl and then to the Bored Guy and Bored Girl, persuading them to eat the candy, but what else must be done? There must be more to it than that, since I have never seen the boss. Is this faction-limited, i.e., only accessible if you're playing the trial on a villain?

nobody can enter kanes mansion before performing the steps you mentioned, if anyone enters the house bored guy and bored gal do nothing and thus prevent the easter egg boss from spawning

So, are those all the steps? And where does the boss show up, when it spawns?

in front of devil girl after a little animation

basically:

step 1: make sure nobody goes into the house
step 2: talk to devil girl
step 3: talk to bored guy and bored gal (order does not seem to matter)
step 4: talk to devil girl again
step 5: fight easter egg boss

Ah, I was missing "talk to Devil Girl again." Thanks very much.

I've never had to do step 4. The boss has always spawned as soon as we talk to the bored people. The boss usually then kills the Devil Girl and her friends before we get back there.

Has anyone tried sending just one person to talk to the second bored gal/guy while the rest of the team protects Devil Girl and friends?

....just curious

Tried doing this last night but failed entirely due to PUG teams running through the door.

Me: Do you want to go for the badge?
Team: Yes

Me: Want to fight the extra boss?
Team: Yes

Me: Don't go into the build, okay?
Team: Yes

*team enters building*

Me: You are just replying "Yes" to everything I type aren't you?
Team: Yes

So, is there any significance to the woman queuing inside the house that you can have a conversation with?

And what's with the wolf at the back of the house who walks off through the back of the map about 30 seconds after you zone in and says "Nice day isn't it" when you click on him?

maybe try typing out sentences like you are actually speaking to someone. Building instead of build would also be good. I've never called a structure a 'build'.

I see this a lot in sewers going for the vahz badge. One person will say something horribly vague like "only boss", and no one who's new knows what the f he's talking about, and then said person flips out on everyone when a zombie dies.

Yep. Even if you defeat Black Whip before he can kill Devil Girl, she just dies anyway after he does.

I'm not sure. But I did get into a long past the timer ongoing event, and when I entered the house all the patrons in the line were dead. Never saw that again and the only person in the event didn't know about it either. Wish I thought to get a screenshot but it was my first time through and I thought that's how it was supposed to be so didn't think anything of it until I did a few more later on.

Just for kicks one run I ran all the way back through the house, all the NPCs die/disappear, or just fall over motionless as 'attendees'. Except the wolf, he chills out on the porch.

too bad they don't give a badge for the " egg beaters " ( those that beat the extra boss ; )
that would be kool , a rare badge you can only get once a year , thats always spread word of mouth .


Death is just another Badge !!!

I spawned the Easter egg boss last night, just to check him out. It was neat how they included him into the trial, but...the boss itself was kind of lackluster. I won't describe it so as not to spoil it for those who haven't done it yet, but I was disappointed. I'm glad I experienced it, though. This game could do with a few more secrets like that.

I walked back through the house after we'd kicked Kane's butt last night, and then spent about half an hour wandering around the grounds admiring the amazing job the visual and sound artists did on this story. I was very impressed, and kind of wish it could be available year-round through Ouroboros or something. Hey, maybe that could be a new VIP perk: access to seasonal mission content out of season!
