The Herald of Mischief will jump out to scare you and say "Legend speaks of a blood moon rising...", pointing to the Vault portal. You can either go through the Secret Area in Vault or be teleported after speaking to the Herald. In the office, you can find the Herald again. Talking to them, starts their monologue: "Hello there!" "What am I doing here? well, you see...after the ruckus we caused last year." "I've been banished to cleanup crew." "Don't tell management. I'm actually Clone 13." "By the way, have you seen Atlas's cat?" "I startled them the other day and haven't seen them since." "I'm starting to get worried...." The Herald leads you to the second bathroom where a black vortex can be found. You can access the Cackling Crab by clicking the hand icon to be teleported. The Entrance:  The Cackling Crab landing Once teleported from the Office, players find themself surrounded by clouds, standing at the mouth of a deep pit. Above, a crescent moon glows in the red sky; a huge Dark Dragon swoops down at you passing just above your head. The Cackling Crab: As players descend down the main entrance pit, a cutscene start to play and a cat on a broomstick (Mimi) sporadically fly out of control and fall into the large cauldron on the middle of the Cackling Crab. Out of it comes a horrible really mean black cat. Samantha and Skidmore appear in front of the cauldron. The two have the following fun conversation:  The 2 NPC at the Cackling Crab Samantha: "Skidmore..." "What's that sound?!" Skidmore: "Oh no, Samantha! Not again...." "Management's really not going to like this...." Samantha: "Whatever that was is gonna cause problems on purpose" Skidmore: "We just can't have nice things, can we?" Samantha: "What do we do now?" (Skidmore and Samantha turn to look and you, who honks) Skidmore: "We need reinforcements!! Go find Nat and Yoshi!" Samantha: "Speaking of, where's Jenova?" Skidmore: "I could've swore I saw him down here...." Samantha: "Maybe you can find them!" (Skidmore and Samantha point at us) Samantha: "Before you go, help us get the cauldron up and running?" (The camera pans to focus on a green activation handle) Clicking the green activation handle activate a series of animation that demonstrate fire coming out of pipes while the cauldron gets hot and green substance start to boil. Around the cauldron, Samantha and Skidmore moves around and express themself with emotes and funny lines. (See the NPC shopkeepers section for further dialogues.) Samantha: "Skidmore..." "Did...did you hear that?" Skidmore: "Oh no, Samantha! Management's not going to like this..." Samantha: "How'd they get in here?!" Skidmore: "See, this is why we can't have nice things..." Samantha: "What do we do now that they found us?" (Skidmore and Samantha turn to look and you, who honks) Skidmore: "Put them to work! Hit that switch! Get that cauldron fired up!" (The camera pans to focus on a green activation handle) Samantha: "Weren't Yoshi and Nat supposed to do that?" "I could've swore I saw them down here..." Skidmore: "Those rascals! Where'd they run off to?" Samantha: "Maybe you can find them!" (Skidmore and Samantha point at us) The Cauldron:  The Cauldron In the main area, a large bubbling cauldron gives players green lights to collect and shatters burnable thorny rocks, just like the geyser. Burning these rocks will spellbound you and temporarily change your appearance in height and clothing transforming your Sky kids into mischievous figures of mayhem. The Mischief cauldron provides green lights about every 8 minutes with a maximum of 1,000 green wax a day. Mimi the Krill Cat:  Mimi the Krill Cat Circling around the Cauldron, a Krill Cat will give you the Krill Cat's Curse Spell, changing your appearance into a black thorny kid with spiky hair. Using the emote prompt next to another Skykid will cause the curse to spread to them as well. Open the Expressions Menu to see all the spells affecting you. Double tap the spell icon to cancel its effect. Sewer Pipe Spell Crabs:  Sewer Pipe Spell Crabs In an opening on the left, rescuing a crab from behind a large sewer pipe with a heavy cover, will free more crabs from the trap above. Some of those crabs offer the Candle Trick Spell, the Krill Repellent Spell, and the Crab Rock Trick Spell. The Rideable Broomstick:  The Rideable Broomstick Two broomsticks fly around the area, around the cauldron and outside. The Krill Cat Shrine: To the right of the chat bench, under a big tree root, players can find a wooden door that opens to a spiral staircase leading to a super small entrance that only tiny kids can enter. (Players will have to be cursed from the Krill Cat roaming around the cauldron until they acquire a tiny spell.) Once you are tiny, you can finally enter the room and there you will find Jenova looking over a prison-like bars opening. (See below for Dialogue). Heading down the corridor at the other end will get you into a large room full of candles to collect and at the very top another cat. Getting too close to the cat will kick you out of the room and into the large spider web in the main area.  ** In the Days of Mischief 2021 edition, this door was home to Nat and featured a room full of white candles that wasn't giving any wax. Behind the Large Spider Web (Hidden Area): Behind the large spider web there is a spiral staircase that will lead you to a flooded area with lots of shrine stones and a clone of Samantha called Clone 42. Flying up this area, you will find Nat and Yoshi who offer In-App purchases from previous Days of Mischief years. (See below for Dialogue). ** In the Days of Mischief 2021 edition, this door was home to Yoshi but no staircase was present. The Exit Staircase: Players can exit the main area by going up the entrance but also by a large stone staircase. Going up the staircase will trigger two large Wasteland spears that will startle you and make you go down a few steps back if you are not cautious. The exit will lead you to the portal, back to the Office. The Blood Moon Sky: Outside, three large Dark Dragons, many black crows, the rideable witch's broom, and the rideable flying cat circle above you. None of the Dark Dragons will attack you as it may be the only place in Sky where you can find friendly krills. One of them circle outside and inside and will give you a ride. The rideable krill has been introduced in 2022. Other features: Underneath a big tree root, players can chat, sitting on a bench while looking at a large fireplace. Many canons pipes are present on the walls of the caves. Lighting any of those canons will trigger an explosion ejecting you across the area. NPC Shopkeepers: All of the NPC function as shopkeepers and there are many of them to find. Samantha:  Samantha's Skykid Samantha can be found roaming in the main area, dressed with the Mischief Witch Jumper, the Mischief Spider hair and the Withered Antlers. This NPC provide spells from all the cosmetics available for real currencies (IAP). "Have you seen Yoshi's crab? They just scuttled past with a box on their head!" "What's that grinding sound coming from upstairs?" "Did a broom just fly past?" "I bet Yoshi tried to face the Dark Dragon and lost. Someone should check on him..." "Pspspspsps..." "I swear I saw Nat running off with a pile of Reika's clothes..." "Have you seen Yoshi's crab? They just scuttled past with a box on their head!" "Did a broom just fly past?" "I bet Yoshi tried to face the Dark Dragon and lost. Someone should check on him..." "Bubble Bubble..." "Hats on crab...what'll they think of next...Krill?"

"Did that skykid just shrink before my eyes?!" "Hats on crabs...what'll they think of next...A Krill Coaster?" "Yoshi mentioned something about needing a snack. See if you can help him out." "Did you hear crying just now?" "Don't tell management we're throwing our own party!" "Are you afraid of the dark? I am!" "Did that skykid just shrink before my eyes?!" Yoshi:  Yoshi's Skykid Yoshi can be found in a hidden area behind the large spider web that opens to a graveyard. This NPC wears the Mischief Web Cape and the Hungry Pumpkin Hat and provides players with the Mischief Catch Up Pack IAP, the Spooky Bat Cape IAP and the Hungry Pumpkin Hat IAP. "Thank goodness you and Nat found me!" "It's been 84 years..." "Feels like I'm turning into a fossil. Just like this old costume." "Still so hungry...." "This pumpkin tastes terrible. Much better as a hat, don't you think?" "Thank goodness you found me!" "It's been 84 years..." "I feel like I'm turning into a fossil." "So hungry..." "I considered eating this pumpkin hat...but maybe you want it instead?" Nat:  Nat's Skykid Nat is dressed with the Spooky Bat Cape and the Mischief Witch Hat. This NPC provides the Mischief Witch Hat IAP and the Michief Web Cape IAP. "You found me!" "I brought cake, but Yoshi was starving" "I hope you don't mind?" "I admire your patience" "Is this what you're waiting for?" "Too contemporary? I bet Yoshi can help...in exchange for snacks" "You found me!" "How's my outfit? I "borrowed" it from Reika while she's on vacation." "I made something new this year, but Samantha ran off with it, mumbling something about "aesthetic"." "Waiting for something?" (Long pause and then Nat laughs) "Okay. Here you go!" Clone 42: "h..hello, is this thing on? clone 42 reporting for duty! Welcome to the pool of scrapped ideas." "These were really terrible, best leave them here" "I suppose you're looking for last year's get-up?" "Not retro enough? Perhaps Nat can help!" (Points up) Jenova: "Please~~I need to go back to work!" "Is the party over? Someone let me out? Anyone?" "Whose krill cat is this?" "Where can I find a shrink spell?" "I can't believe these designers are abusing the system." "Cats should be banned from this point up!" Trivia: During the beta development, the first Cackling Crab edition was accessible through a flickering purple screen in the conference room.
