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.

Daily Special and Special Pass

First up, we have the Daily Special and Special Pass events. These provide you with rewards every single day you log in. The Daily Special is free, while the Special Pass will set you back 3,500 Pearls in exchange for even more rewards.

There are 14 rewards, which you can earn between October 17 all the way up to December 12, when, presumably, the Christmas event will take over. Here’s what you can earn from the passes.

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:

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:

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!
