Dungeon Quest Reborn Halloween Event — Candy, Boss & Shop

Status — the event is still running; its contents are video-reported, its end window is now official. Dungeon Quest Reborn's Halloween event arrived with the October 5, 2026 update, which also carried the listing title 🎃HALLOWEEN 🎃 Dungeon Quest Reborn. A second update on October 14, 2026 came with video descriptions reporting a reworked Pumpkin King fight, Halloween Candy, 18 event cosmetics, an exclusive title and new weapons, and a third update on October 22, 2026; a fourth push on October 23, 2026 moved the Roblox games API updated field to 2026-10-23T15:10:20Z (universeId 9931749389, checked 2026-10-24), and the listing name now reads [+1 DROP] Dungeon Quest Reborn — the activity prefix rotated from [GILDED SKIES], which was still live at the 2026-10-23 check. The October 22 push is the one that changed what the official material says: the game description now opens with a 🎃 Halloween Event 🎃 section — "Collect candy and get limited Halloween gear before it's gone. The event ends shortly after Halloween, so start grinding!" — which names the currency Candy, names limited Halloween gear, and states an end window for the first time. The event currency is Candy and its boss is the Pumpkin King. Every price, HP figure, reward and chance below still comes from creator video reports and is not verified in-game — each figure is labeled where it appears.

Timeliness, stated plainly (checked 2026-10-24). The listing name has rotated again: the API now returns [+1 DROP] Dungeon Quest Reborn, replacing [GILDED SKIES] — the name it still carried at the 2026-10-23 check, which itself replaced the plain name Dungeon Quest Reborn seen on 2026-10-15. The 🎃HALLOWEEN 🎃 prefix recorded on October 5, 2026 has still not come back. Read the new prefix as a title-level signal only: the official description says nothing about a DROP activity — no drops, rates or duration — so what [+1 DROP] actually grants is Unconfirmed, and this page does not guess. The official description remains the signal for this event's end: it carries a 🎃 Halloween Event 🎃 block telling players to collect candy and grab limited Halloween gear "before it's gone", and states that "the event ends shortly after Halloween" — a statement that is unchanged in the 2026-10-24 check. The end signal is therefore official description-level evidence — no exact end date is given, so the description sets the window and your lobby decides the moment. The event's contents below still come from video reports.

Is the Halloween update live in Dungeon Quest Reborn?

Yes — it is still running, and the official description now says when it ends. The listing was updated and retitled 🎃HALLOWEEN 🎃 Dungeon Quest Reborn on October 5, 2026, and the games API records updates pushed on October 14, again on October 22, 2026, and again on October 23, 2026 (updated now reads 2026-10-23T15:10:20Z, universeId 9931749389, checked 2026-10-24). The October 22 push is the one that matters for timing: the game description now opens with a 🎃 Halloween Event 🎃 section — "Collect candy and get limited Halloween gear before it's gone. The event ends shortly after Halloween, so start grinding!" — so the end of the event is no longer an inference.

Two caveats, both dated. First, the listing name has moved on but still does not name Halloween — at the 2026-10-24 check the API returns [+1 DROP] Dungeon Quest Reborn, rotating the [GILDED SKIES] name that landed with the October 17, 2026 Gilded Skies update and was still live on 2026-10-23. That new prefix is title-level only: it is an activity tag with no official description behind it, so what it drops stays Unconfirmed. The title is therefore still the weak field it was on 2026-10-15, when it read the plain name Dungeon Quest Reborn; the description, not the name, is what now carries the event. Second, the description gives a window, not a date: "shortly after Halloween" is official, but no day is stated, so the event's contents still come from creator videos and every figure below is labeled.

Two answers up front, because they are what most searches want:

• How to play it: enter the Halloween event from the lobby, beat the Pumpkin King, collect green candy as it drops, never touch the red candy, and ignore the fences around the arena. A clear is reported to pay 196 Candy.
• What the shop has: Halloween skins/armor and weapons across reported 1,000/2,000/3,000-Candy tiers, titles at 1,000/2,000/3,000, plus Gold and XP boosts at 2,500/5,500/10,000. Every price is a video report.

Where every figure on this page comes from

The first, official tier: the games API description (checked 2026-10-24; text unchanged from the October 22, 2026 push). The description returned by games.roblox.com/v1/games?universeIds=9931749389 now opens with a 🎃 Halloween Event 🎃 block: "Collect candy and get limited Halloween gear before it's gone. The event ends shortly after Halloween, so start grinding!" That is a developer-authored statement, so this page treats it as the one official source here — it confirms Candy, limited Halloween gear and an end window of shortly after Halloween, and nothing else. It states no boss numbers, no prices, no drop rates and no exact end date, so every such figure below keeps its video-report label.

This wiki normally publishes a fact only once it is confirmed in the current build. The Halloween event's mechanics do not clear that bar, so no mechanical figure here is written as confirmed. Two creator videos supply the reported figures; the official description above sits over them as the only confirmed tier.

• Source 1 — Elite_Elias, "I Played HALLOWEEN EVENT In Dungeon Quest REBORN" (10:39). The lobby, Candy, the boss fight, the green/red candy rule, the 196-Candy reward, the 0.05% title, the shop price list, class abilities, the Robux Candy purchase and the Gilded Skies countdown.
• Source 2 — ayossjt, "(BEST CANDY FARM) HOW TO SOLO PUMPKIN KING HARDCORE SOLO IN DUNGEON QUEST REBORN" (5:11), youtube.com/watch?v=ka_wVkAeWT8. Hardcore soloing, a 3.4M HP boss, the Warrior-over-Mage recommendation, dodge spots, the candy-heal and red-candy-explosion rules, and the 2× Hardcore reward claim. This is the reference for the tactics section below, which the October 14, 2026 material re-checked.

Both are auto-generated summaries, not frame-by-frame verification, and neither is a developer statement. Where they disagree, this page follows Source 1 and flags the difference instead of merging them. Treat it as a lead to confirm on your own lobby screen, shop and reward summary.

A third, weaker tier: the October 14, 2026 video descriptions. The update push on October 14, 2026 came with video descriptions listing a reworked Pumpkin King fight, Halloween Candy, 18 event cosmetics, an exclusive title and new weapons. That material is description-level — no gameplay frames, no item names, no prices and no developer statement — so it is recorded on this page as Unconfirmed, is never merged into the reported tables, and is not counted as evidence that anything in the shop changed. It is also a different thing from the official game description quoted above: that one is developer-authored, but it names only Candy, limited Halloween gear and the end window, and says nothing about these three additions.

How the event works: Candy, green candy and red candy

Candy is the event currency. Source 1 earns it from the Pumpkin King encounter and receives 196 Candy for a kill — a single report, so read it as an observation rather than a fixed payout. Candy is also purchasable: the same video shows 10,000 Candy for 720 Robux, bought twice, enough to sweep the cosmetic armor and weapon racks and several titles. That is one player's shopping trip, not a published bundle price.

Green candy and red candy behave differently, and this is the part to read carefully. Per Source 1 — the version this page follows — green candy drops during the fight and can be collected, and collecting it prevents the Pumpkin King from healing; red candy is harmful on contact and triggers what Source 2 calls a "big boom", so it is avoided.

One wording conflict, stated plainly: Source 2's summary says the Pumpkin King "heals from green candies" and then says to collect them to stop the healing — internally contradictory, and it reads like the heal attribution was flipped when the summary was written. Source 1's wording (green = collectible, collecting = no heal) is the consistent one, so it leads here. Because the sources do not actually agree, which candy feeds the heal stays unreconciled and unverified until you watch it in your own run.

What both videos agree on: candy is a fight mechanic as well as a currency. The drops on the floor are a resource you manage while the boss lives, and ignoring the green pickups is reported to let the fight drag. The October 14, 2026 re-check does not resolve the conflict — the tactic section below records the video's wording and keeps the practical rule, which both sources share.

The Pumpkin King boss (video-reported)

The 3.4M HP figure is the one to hold loosely: it appears in one video, in a Hardcore solo context, and boss HP here is widely reported to scale with party size — so it describes that creator's run, not a universal constant. The reported 5-minute timer and 3 lives come from one video too, with no second run confirming either.

Two arena rules recur in both videos and are the practical core of the fight:

• Do not touch the fences surrounding the arena — reported to apply poison damage (Source 1).
• Breath attacks are dodgeable by holding a specific safe part of the map (Source 2). Position, not stats, is what ends most solo attempts.

Pumpkin King tactics (video-reported, re-checked for the October 14 push)

Everything in this section comes from Source 2's Hardcore solo run — the reference video is ayossjt, "(BEST CANDY FARM) HOW TO SOLO PUMPKIN KING HARDCORE SOLO IN DUNGEON QUEST REBORN" (5:11) — and nothing here is verified in-game.

Where the candy-heal attribution still stands. Source 2's wording says the boss heals from green candy and red candies — the same unreconciled conflict flagged in the candy section above, where Source 1 says green candy is collectible and collecting it prevents the heal. This page does not merge the two. Both agree on the practical rule, so that is what the table follows: take the green, never touch the red, and do not trade an explosion for a pickup.

Hold the verdict loosely. This is one creator's Hardcore solo route from one video, re-checked against October 14, 2026 material rather than re-filmed. Nothing in it is a developer statement, and the reported 2× Hardcore payout is what makes the loop worth running at all — see the Hardcore section below.

Reported but Unconfirmed: 18 cosmetics, an exclusive title, new weapons

The descriptions attached to the October 14, 2026 update push name three additions that no video on this page actually shows. All three are Unconfirmed and recorded as description-level leads only — this wiki has no item names, no prices, no stats and no unlock conditions for any of them, and none is promoted to a confirmed list here:

Treat the three as search leads and patch-watch triggers, not a checklist: nothing on this page gets promoted to a confirmed list until a developer post or a captured shop screen shows the items, their prices and what they do.

The event shop: everything reported so far

Every price below is reported in Source 1's video and has not been verified in-game — confirm each item and cost on your own shop screen before spending Candy.

The reported pattern — 1,000/2,000/3,000 for cosmetics, 2,500/5,500/10,000 for boosts — makes it easy to check against your own shop. What is not reported: whether these items carry stats, or whether the shop rotates. Do not assume a Candy-priced "weapon" beats your dungeon gear until you read its card — the cosmetics page covers looks versus stats, and the items page covers reading a card.

The 0.05% "Super Evil" Ultimate Title

Source 1 reports a 0.05% chance at an "Ultimate Title" called "Super Evil" from the Pumpkin King encounter. That is a single video report and is unverified. It is not a published rate: this game has never shipped an official rate table, the summary behind it was auto-generated, and no second source repeats the percentage. The number is kept because it is the only claim attached to the title — but treat it as an estimate of a rare drop, not a rate to plan sessions around. The drops page exists for exactly that distinction, and its logging routine applies to Halloween loot unchanged.

Classes, abilities and the Warrior recommendation

Source 1 shows the fight offering Warrior, Mage or Guardian, with these abilities on display:

Source 2 recommends Warrior over Mage because the Mage skill is harder to aim — "rage-baiting" in the footage, i.e. unreliable against a moving boss. That is one creator's recommendation from one video, not a tier-list verdict: if your best gear is spell-side, Sugarstorm's ability to damage without facing the boss is the counter-argument. Whether the event restricts classes is not stated in either video.

Hardcore clears and the Gilded Skies countdown

Hardcore pays double. Source 2 reports that a Pumpkin King clear on Hardcore rewards two times the normal drops/rewards — the "Hardcore pays more" pattern this wiki records elsewhere, but here it is a single video report, unverified that does not say which components double. If you can solo reliably, farm it; if not, the reported 196 Candy per normal clear is the baseline. The progression page covers when to switch Hardcore on.

Gilded Skies arrived; the Halloween event is still in the listing. At the start of Source 1 the lobby showed a "Countdown to Gilded Skies" timer reading 12 days, 16 hours, 55 minutes and 50 seconds — recorded here as shown in the video, at the moment of recording. That countdown has since run out: the Gilded Skies page records the update going live on October 17, 2026 and the listing renamed [GILDED SKIES] Dungeon Quest Reborn (games API updated 2026-10-17T19:00:42Z, checked 2026-10-18), the 2026-10-23 check still returned that name, and the 2026-10-24 check now returns [+1 DROP] Dungeon Quest Reborn instead. What the countdown did not establish is the Halloween event's end: it was a snapshot, and the end signal now comes from the official description — "the event ends shortly after Halloween". Whether the two events run side by side or one replaces the other is still not stated by any source; read your own lobby.

A practical first-hour checklist

1. Do01

   Confirm the event is live for you

   Check the official description (it carries the 🎃 Halloween Event 🎃 block) and your lobby — the listing name reads [+1 DROP] on 2026-10-24, so the name alone will not tell you the Halloween event is running.

2. Do02

   Learn the candy colours before you fight

   Green is the collectible reported to stop the Pumpkin King healing; red is the one that hurts on contact. Watching a first attempt costs nothing.

3. Do03

   Stay off the fences

   Both videos treat the arena boundary as dangerous — poison per Source 1. Fight in the open middle with an escape lane.

4. Do04

   Hold the safe spot against breath attacks

   Source 2's solo method is positional: park where the breath cannot reach and damage from there instead of running laps.

5. Do05

   Log the clear reward, don't assume it

   Record your own Candy payout before budgeting for a 3,000-Candy cosmetic — 196 is one report.

What this page cannot confirm

• The live values. 3.4M HP, 5 minutes, 3 lives, 196 Candy, 0.05% and every shop price are video reports from auto-generated summaries.
• The October 14 additions. The 18 cosmetics, the exclusive title and the new weapons exist only in video descriptions — no names, prices or stats, and no developer confirmation.
• The end date. The official description says the event ends shortly after Halloween, but names no day — treat that as a window, not a date, and read your own lobby.
• Whether the event changes. Prices and rewards can move mid-event, and the listing name has changed three times since October 5 (plain on 2026-10-15, [GILDED SKIES] on 2026-10-23, [+1 DROP] on 2026-10-24).
• What [+1 DROP] means. The prefix is a title-level signal; the official description states no drop contents, rates or duration for it, so nothing about that activity is confirmed here.
• Drop contents beyond the title chance. No full Pumpkin King loot table is reported, and the drops page keeps its "not verified" status.

The dungeons hub lists maps confirmed in current footage — including the Winter Outpost guide — and the 2x luck and +1 drop page tracks listing-level boost signals — check its dated status before assuming the September window still applies under the Halloween rename.
