Introduction

  • This walkthrough is an optimized route to full mission completion. Careful attention has been paid to pathing a route that takes the current Spawn Bonus CEs and future Mission requirements into account.
  • No gacha CEs are required for this guide apart from the free CE given at the start and any borrowed ones. Do try to borrow the correct CE to avoid any bad luck with the mission requirements.   
  • Completing the all the missions requires 2420-2540AP (2850-2890 if bugged) with this guide. Masters are expected to have around 4536 natural AP to spend from the start of the event. 
  • To access all of Mecha Eli's Ascension Materials and copies, Masters must complete the Main Quest and at least 90 missions.
  • Masters progress through the event by completing Missions that open up new Free Quests as they ascend their way across the humble abodes of Halloween.
  • Spawn Bonus is very powerful for Mission completion and they should be bought from the first 600 Currency of each type, but the guide only assumes they can be borrowed when a Master has access to one of their own. Spawn Rate caps at 100%.
  • Do NOT use apples early on! There is a massive timegate only 215 AP in. The remaining natural AP will be spent completing missions efficiently in anticipation of the second part.
  • New Masters should have no problem clearing this event, although the final nodes can be fairly challenging with full Spawn Bonus.

Notice: Walkthrough has been updated for the recent bug problem. There are 2 routes available now.

Late starters

  • An even more optimized guide is available that makes use of the MLB Spawn CEs from friends. Masters starting late should follow the walkthrough linked below!

Part 1A (Ch 1 - 6)

  • Unlock Date: 2019-10-23 01:00 PDT
  • Act 2 opens at Unlock Date: 2019-10-25 17:00 PDT 
  • Masters can spend 815 AP before hitting the timegate
  • Note: Masters who roll the gacha can access additional Spawn Bonus much earlier. Sadly, most quests still need to be done the amount of time listed for the Servant Characteristics.
  • Note: The first listed CE is always the main recommendation and typically has the highest bonus/Spawn Bonus benefit!
Chapter 1

Tip: Above each step is a blue accordion/header, clicking on any of these will give additional information and some helpful context why we run certain quests.

W-Wait a second! Why are we here?

Because Meliran migrated to Gamepress, that's why.

That sellout!

Oh, shush! We still have a guide to make here!

Make me!

Um, while they're arguing... go run chapter 1.

End of Act 1 Benchmark

Assuming no gacha CEs for Masters who begun from day 1 (and thus could not borrow 100% Spawn Bonus from a friend) and followed the above walkthrough to the letter, progress should roughly (based on (un)lucky spawns) be as follows:
 

Progress: 96: Clear [28/30] Missions.
Progress: 29: Defeat [36+/60] Scarecrows.
Progress: 57: Defeat [13/20] Berserker Servants.
(One only needs 11 at this point though - but this is our current progress)
Mission Objective Complete: 70: Defeat [20/20] Lawful Servants

Part 2A (Ch 7 - 12)

  • The second part of Halloween 2019 opens on 10-25 17:00 PDT.
  • All remaining missions can be completed. Only the Challenge Quest and a short story-only epilogue unlocks on 10-29 17:00 PDT.
  • Part 2 is still being transferred, the route is fully available though. 
  • Masters can expect to spend between 1605 AP - 1725 AP for full Mission completion from this point on.
  • Bugged Masters can expect to spend between 2035 AP - 2075 AP for full Mission completion from this point on.
Massive Bug Warning
  • It appears not all of our progress has been carried over between parts. 
  • How much progress is lost varies from Master to Master. 
  • The total cost of the bug is about 350 AP to 430 AP.

As such the following Missions may have been reset back to 0, despite having killed enemies that count for them.

  • Mech enemies
  • Drone enemies
  • Gazer enemies
  • Mass Production MK. II enemies
  • Super Giant enemies
  • Archer Servants
  • Rider Servants
  • Divine Servants
  • 170cm+ Servants
  • Magic A Servants

Exactly what progress has been carried over appears to vary from Master to Master.
Since doing these Quests now has little cost, we're taking the assumption none of the mechs killed so far count.

For Masters who did not have their progress carry over, this where progress starts to hit a brick wall. Having lost up to 10 (!) Divine kills, as well as up to 9 Rider kills, and many more kill targets, we'll need to re-farm certain nodes.
Masters who had their progress carry over should follow path A.
