Black Desert Online, or BDO to the laymen, is hosting not one but multiple Halloween events to celebrate the season of the witch. Beat them all and you can earn an absolute ton of rewards to help you progress. Or, just to help you look spooky and awesome.

Chilling Shadow, The Real Spook, and Volkras
There are three challenging bosses to defeat in Black Desert Online’s Halloween event: Chilling Shadow, The Real Spook, and Volkras.
Head to Ash Forest to tackle Chilling Shadow while Volkras will appear while you’re slaying monsters if you pick up the quest. You can earn the following rewards for beating Volkras:
- Benighted Bundle
- Gold Bars
- Advice of Valks
- Memory Fragments
- Spooky Halloween Candy
- Scary Halloween Candy
- Sharp Black Crystal Shards
Tackle Spook by picking up the quest from Lara in Heidel. The monster will then appear during the night, and you have to defeat it to earn rewards.
For this one, it’s either Benighted Badges or Black Spirit’s Purple/Orange die. You can swap Benighted Badges for the following rewards:
Reward | Benighted Bades Cost | Number Per Family |
Barnas Transformation Scroll | 50 | 1 |
Advice of Valks +120 | 50 | 2 |
Halloween Gosphy Cookie | 10 | 2 |
Halloween Clickey-clack Cookie | 10 | 2 |
Creepy Goody Bag x2 | 15 | 5 |
Spooky Boss Bundle x2 | 15 | 5 |
Benighted Bundle x2 | 15 | 5 |
Gold Bar 10g | 1 | Unlimited |

A Spooky Aura Over Ancient Black Spirit’s Adventure
Remember that dice you can earn from the previous event? Well, you need them for this event. Roll the dice to traverse around a board, earning rewards depending on where you land. If you roll a purple dice and land on a purple space, you double your rewards. The same is true for orange dice.
Lap the board and you can earn these rewards:
Reward | Lap |
Creepy Goody Bag | 1 |
Creepy Goody Bag | 2 |
Spooky Boss Bundle | 3 |
Benighted Bundle | 4 |
Creepy Goody Bag | Every |
Each day you login, you earn rewards for how long you play. 30 minutes gets you two purple dice, and 60 gets you two orange.

Silent Fear Returns With More Powerful Isabella
We don’t know much about this event yet, as it drops on October 24. It sees you take on a more powerful variant of Isabella. Good luck!
