Event Overview: Pumpkins, Cats, and Piñatas
Netmarble adds another feather to its cap with a new Halloween-themed update for Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds. This new treat, dubbed Night of Sparkling Candies, is packed to the brim with Halloween festivities, in-game events, and episode-related rewards. From cooking up Pumpkin Candy to diving into new mini-games like ‘Hide-n-Seek’ and ‘Shadow Piñatas’, the new update offers a plethora of opportunities for players to earn Power-Ups, Currencies, and Pass EXP.
Night of Sparkling Candies: The Episode Mechanics
The core of this update revolves around the Night of Sparkling Candies episode. Players can gather Pumpkin Candy ingredients, cook them, and offer the candies to in-game NPCs. In return, they can earn a variety of rewards including Power-Ups, Currencies, and Pass EXP. So, for those looking to spice up their game, this episode serves as a cauldron full of Halloween surprises.
Mini-Game Alert: Hide-n-Seek and Shadowtails
The update introduces a new mini-game called Hide-n-Seek where players can morph into a cat and are designated as either Shadowtails (hiders) or Lighttails (seekers). The game follows a straightforward rule: Shadowtails aim to survive till the end, and Lighttails are on the hunt to find them. Winners or not, participants will receive enticing rewards like ‘Jelly Bottle’ and ‘Evolution Fruit Basket’.
Weekly Ritual: The Shadow Piñata Event
Three times a week—every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday to be precise—the Shadow Piñata Event goes live. Players collect Light Pumpkins across Evermore and use them to battle against the ominous Shadow Effigy. Victory earns them loot, such as Miraculous Warding Doll Chests and Piñata’s Enhancement Stone Selection Bundle.
Bonus Halloween Events: Unmasked
Additional Halloween events are available during this period:
- Night of Sparkling Candies Episode Guide Event: Specific missions are unlocked, rewarding players with goodies like Bat Mask Costume and Starfall Magic Tome Selection Chest upon completion.
- Halloween Catch Cluu! Event: Players complete tasks like ‘Donate to the Kingdom’ to earn Event Tickets. These tickets let you partake in the Catch Cluu mini-game, where tapping on randomly-generated Cluus offers rewards useful for powering up familiars, such as the ‘Rare 6★ Toy Chest’.
For players navigating through the magical realms of Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds, the Night of Sparkling Candies update offers a candy bag full of Halloween excitement. So whether you’re a Shadowtail hiding in the dark or a Lighttail seeking victory, this update has something wickedly fun for everyone.
