The Witching Hour (2021)

:
The Witching Hour: The Phantom Curse (alternatively Hallows Eve: The Phantom Curse or simply The Witching Hour 2021) is an event that began on October 27, 2021 for Halloween. It is meant as a sequel to the 2020 version of the event, with new quests and items but returning elements from the event realm.
==Candy==
Candy is an exclusive currency in the Witching Hour events. It can be obtained by going Trick or Treating in the neighborhood or smashing pumpkins. Each house gives a random number of candy between 5 and 20, and smashing pumpkins gives 1 to 3 candy each.
==Locations==
===Spawn===
Spawn is the area that your character begins at when entering the realm. The spawn contains various tents.
===Neighborhood===
The neighborhood contains the main road and row of houses surrounding spawn. A horse-drawn cart circles the neighborhood.
===Graveyard===
The graveyard is located directly across from spawn after going through the neighborhood.
===Mansion===
The mansion is behind the graveyard, being a building that can be entered. It is filled with ghosts and contains items for multiple quests.
==Brooms==
A broom (or broomstick) is required to fly in the event realm. Brooms have been converted to a new type of accessory that also functions as a tool in 2021. There were three brooms available in the event:
* Witchy Broomstick - The original broom from 2020, owned by any player that obtained it in the 2020 event.
* Harvest Broomstick - A new broom in 2021 obtained by completing the Harvest Broomstick quest.
* Charming Broomstick - A new broom in 2021 that can be purchased for 10,000 Candy or 100 Robux.
==Quests==
There are 6 quests each of which will award an event exclusive item when completed.
===Ghostly Halo===
To obtain, the player must first obtain the Ghost Gobbler by talking to Hope Venkman in the front area of the graveyard. Afterwards, 100 ghosts must be captured with the Ghost Gobbler to obtain the Ghostly Halo. Ghosts can be found in the graveyard or mansion.
===Pumpkin Halo 2021===
To obtain, the player must smash pumpkins in the Pumpkin Patch. Each pumpkin that is smashed has a small chance to award the Pumpkin Halo 2021. Smashing any pumpkin, during or after the quest is completed, rewards three candies.
===Candy Eye Halo===
To obtain, the player must collect 3000 pieces of candy.
Candies obtained from smashing pumpkins counts towards this quest, despite the quest text implying otherwise. However, the player must trick-or-treat at a house at least once to complete the task requiring the player to do so.
===Moon Halo===
To obtain, the player must put together the pieces of the Moon Shades. Completing this quest will reward the Moon Halo, along with the Moon Shades accessory and tool. As the quest text implies, this quest is a prerequisite in order to be able to complete the Halloween Wolf Costume quest, as the Moon Shades item is a required tool for that quest.
#Talk to Grandma Andrea at her house.
#Enter the mansion to find the five pieces of the Moon Shades:
##Left Lens: On top of a crate in the storage room in the left wing of the ground floor.
##Left Handle: On a chair on the left side of the room on the second floor.
##Right Lens: On top of a crate in the back-right side of the entry area of the ground floor (near the hallway leading into a fork).
##Right Handle: On top of a bookshelf in the room in the right wing of the ground floor.
##Moon Piece: In the back of the farthest back room beyond the ground floor area blocked off by boards. The crowbar must be obtained from the second floor to break the boards to enter this area.
#Return to Grandma Andrea with the pieces of the Moon Shades. Interact with the shades base on the table next to her to put the Moon Shades back together and complete the quest.
:TIP: Talk to Hope Venkman in the front graveyard and get the Ghost Gobbler, then swap to this quest and start hunting in the mansion. Having the Ghost Gobbler will make it easier to move around the mansion as the ghosts can be removed, which will also reward quest credit towards the Ghostly Halo if that quest has not yet been completed.
===Harvest Broomstick===
To obtain, the five pieces of the Harvest Broomstick must be found around the map, then put back together at the Enchant-A-Broom stall at the spawn area (talking to Lilly is not necessary after the intro cutscene, despite what the quest text says.)
Locations of the pieces:
*Connector: In the front yard of the black and red house in the neighborhood row approximately behind the Spider Theater
*Handle: On top of the huge decorative pumpkin in the yard of the houses approximately behind the Haunted Park 
*Stick: Near the chest inside of the Haunted Park (can be jumped into over the hills - not required to enter normally)
*Tip: On the horse-drawn cart
*Vines: On the porch of a house approximately behind the Pumpkin Patch
===Halloween Wolf Costume ===
To obtain, a questline must be completed to obtain the Moon Crystal and remove the curse from the town. Completing this quest rewards two costumes: the Halloween Wolf Costume and the Halloween Female Wolf Costume. The Moon Halo quest MUST be completed first before this quest, as the Moon Shades are required. The player must also have any broom, as flying is required for multiple parts of the quest.
# Talk to the Witch at the room inside the top of the mansion, entered by flying through either of the circular windows from outside.
# Collect the Potion, Flower, and Scroll from inside and outside the mansion.
## The Potion is in a hole in the far back of the mansion, beyond the ground floor area blocked off by boards. The crowbar must be obtained from the second floor to break the boards to enter this area.
## The Flower is on a grave in the graveyard outside of the mansion.
## The Scroll is in the library in the mansion (ground floor, go left at the fork, then left again, then climb or fly up to the second floor). For unknown reasons, this item may need to be collected last.
# Return to the room at the top of the mansion and place the three items in the cauldron to enchant the Moon shades. The Moon Shades are required here, so the Moon Halo quest MUST be done FIRST by this point.
# Equip the now-enchanted Moon Shades by clicking to use the item. A filter will be placed over the screen when the Moon Shades are equipped.
# Fly to the top of the floating island above spawn.
# Stand on the glowing green sphere on the altar on the island. Zoom in to first person. Point the view towards the exact center of the crescent moon in the sky, and hold the view exactly in that location for 15-20 seconds.
# Scroll out and turn around to find the Moon Crystal, and pick it up. The Moon Shades can then be unequipped at this point.
# While the Moon Crystal is in the inventory, the player along with three other players who all have completed this quest up to this point and also have Moon Crystals must stand on the four buttons on the altar near the graveyard. Stay on the buttons until the curse-breaking cutscene finishes. All four participating players will be teleported to the floating island and receive the two costume rewards.
The Moon Crystal tool stays in the player's inventory even after finishing the quest, allowing them to continue to help other players meet the four-player requirement to complete the quest.
:NOTE: There is currently a bug where if the player resets at any time after obtaining the Moon Crystal but before finishing the quest, the Moon Crystal will disappear from the player's inventory. Rejoining the game is required, and they must obtain the Moon Crystal again by equipping the Moon Shades and looking at the moon again.
