Gabi ng Lagim: The Missing Poring Parade

Start here

Every midnight on the Gabi ng Lagim, the Poring Parade float stood ready in Prontera... and every single Poring vanished. All anyone heard was the bell of a kalesa that no one has driven for fifty years. Help Tiyo Berto find the Porings before the last lantern goes out!

Your first 10 minutes, step by step

1. Go to Prontera, west plaza, near 141, 200. You will see 5 event NPCs standing together.
2. Talk to Tiyo Berto, the Parade Keeper (141, 200). Pick I'll help!. You now have a Parade Passport. Nothing counts before this step.
3. Talk to Tiyo Berto again and pick Story chapter. Read it, then press Accept. Chapter progress only counts after you press Accept.
4. Talk to the Trick-or-Treat Board (141, 204) and pick Daily requests. Read your 3 requests for today. You only need to finish any 2 of them.
5. Before you go hunting, read The kill rules below. Most "my kills don't count" problems are explained there.
6. Type @gabi anytime to see your passport: chapter, requests left today, points and candy.

This is how the 5 event NPCs look in game. Find them together in Prontera's west plaza.

The kill rules (read this before you hunt)

Many requests and chapters ask you to "defeat monsters". A kill only counts when all of these rules are true. If even one rule is false, the counter does not move.

Story chapters

There are 4 chapters. You do them one at a time, in order. A late joiner can play every chapter that has already opened.

How every chapter works

1. Talk to Tiyo Berto → pick Story chapter → read it → press Accept.
2. Do the tasks of the chapter (below). Only things you do after Accept count.
3. When the chat says the chapter is done (or "report to the Parade Keeper"), talk to Tiyo Berto → pick Story chapter again. The chapter is finished and you get the reward.
4. Then pick Story chapter one more time to read and Accept the next chapter (if it is already open).

Daily requests

Every day the Trick-or-Treat Board (141, 204) gives your account 3 requests. You only need 2 of them. Your 3 requests are the same on all your characters and change at 00:00 midnight. The first request is always a hunting one.

How to do a request, step by step

1. Talk to the Trick-or-Treat Board → pick Daily requests.
2. Read the 3 lines. Each line shows your progress, for example [0/15] Spirit Lanterns. [ready] means finished but not turned in. [done] means already turned in today.
3. Pick 2 requests you like and go do them. Read the box of each request below so you know exactly what counts.
4. When one is finished, the chat says: "Daily request ready to turn in at the Trick-or-Treat Board".
5. Go back to the board → Daily requests → pick Turn in - (name of the request). You get the reward now.

The 8 kinds of requests

Numbers in ( ) are for week 1 (Oct 23-30), when hunting needs 25% fewer monsters.

Night Patrol

defeat 40 (30) monsters

hunting

Any monster counts, if it follows the kill rules.

Counts

• Monster level = your Base Level minus 15, or higher.
• Any Lv 75+ monster.

Doesn't count

• Lower-level monsters.
• Kills where a party member did more damage.

Restless Dead

defeat 20 (15) Undead or Demon monsters

hunting

The monster's race must be Undead or Demon.

Counts

• Race Undead or Demon.
• Level = your Base Level minus 20, or higher (or Lv 75+).

Doesn't count

• Other races, even if they "look scary".
• Undead/Demon monsters below the level rule.

Where to hunt: see Restless Dead spots.

Spirit Lanterns

defeat 20 (15) Ghost, Undead or Shadow element monsters

hunting

The monster's element (not race) must be Ghost, Undead or Shadow (Dark).

Counts

• Element Ghost, Undead or Shadow.
• Level = your Base Level minus 20, or higher (or Lv 75+).

Doesn't count

• Undead-looking monsters that are too low level for you (Zombie, Skeleton, Mummy at high level).
• Other elements (Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, Poison, Holy, Neutral).

Where to hunt: see Spirit Lanterns spots.

Parade Escort

defeat 30 (22) monsters in a party

hunting

Same as Night Patrol, but at the moment the monster dies you must be in a party with at least 1 other member online on the same map.

RememberEach monster still counts only for the party member who did the most damage. Party members do not share kills. Everyone must kill their own monsters.

Trick or Treat

bring a set of items

items

The board picks one of these item sets for your account for the day:

20 Jellopy20 Fluff15 Sticky Mucus15 Shell10 Rotten Bandage10 Decayed Nail10 Horrendous Mouth5 Skull

Have the items in your bag (not in storage) on the character that talks to the board, then pick Turn in. The items are taken.

Ride the Kalesa

finish 1 Ghost Kalesa ride

ride

Finish a Ghost Kalesa ride, solo or party, and be active at 3 of the 4 checkpoints. A ride where you were not active enough, or that ran out of time, does not count.

Unmask the Impostor

solve today's investigation

puzzle

Solve today's impostor investigation at the same board. It is marked ready right away.

Light a Lantern

donate 1 lantern with zeny

zeny

Talk to Mang Kanor → Donate a lantern and pay the zeny (10,000z × Zeny Index). Only a zeny donation completes this request - lanterns from other activities do not.

Each account can add 6 lanterns per day in total. If you already reached 6 today, Mang Kanor refuses the donation - pick another request.

Catch-up bank (for missed days)

• Every day you miss (after you got your passport) adds 2 catch-up chances to your bank. If you played but did fewer than 2 requests, the unused ones are added too. The bank holds up to 6.
• After your 2 normal turn-ins of the day, turning in your 3rd request uses 1 catch-up chance.
• You can also pick Take again (catch-up) on a finished request to do it once more. It uses 1 catch-up chance when you turn it in. Up to 4 catch-up turn-ins per day.
• The impostor can't be taken again (one per day). Kalesa and lantern requests can't be taken again once you used today's rides or lanterns. The menu shows "(not again today)".

Parade Tailwind

Joined late or fell behind? While your Parade Points are below 75% of the normal pace, daily requests give 50% more Parade Points (60 instead of 40). The board tells you when it is on.

Where to hunt

Good monsters for the two picky requests. Look at the last column: the monster counts for you while your Base Level is equal to or lower than that number. If your level is higher, that monster is too weak and does not count. Lv 75+ monsters count for everyone.

Spirit Lanterns (element Ghost, Undead or Shadow)

Restless Dead (race Undead or Demon)

These are suggestions, not the only places. Any monster with the right element or race and a high enough level counts, on any map. For Night Patrol, Parade Escort and chapters 1-2 any monster counts, but the level rule is stricter (your Base Level minus 15): subtract 5 from the last column.

Impostor investigation

Someone in the parade is not who they seem. You can catch 1 impostor per day. Each account gets its own impostor and its own clues, so copying a friend's answer does not work.

1. Talk to the Trick-or-Treat Board → pick The impostor investigation.
2. Read the witness note. It gives 2 clues in red, for example: "a cloak of Purple, and last seen: Chapel". Write them down.
3. Pick Interview on each of the 5 helpers (Aling Nena, Mang Tonyo, Bunso, Lolo Ambo, Ate Liza). Each one shows 4 things: mask, cloak, lantern hand and last seen.
4. Find the one helper who matches BOTH clues. Other helpers may match one clue - that is not enough.
5. Pick Make an accusation and choose that helper.

• Wrong guess? Nothing is lost, but you must wait 10 minutes before you can accuse again.
• Reward: 20 Parade Points, 3 Lagim Candy (6 in week 3) and 1 lantern. Every 2nd solve also gives a stamp packet.
• Solving it also completes the "Unmask the Impostor" request, and chapter 3 if you accepted chapter 3 first.

Ghost Kalesa

Mang Kanor takes you down a dark road with three dead lanterns. Light each one, defeat the spirits around it, then defeat the Kutsero ng Lagim at the end. Go solo or with your party.

Solo ride, step by step

1. Talk to Mang Kanor (137, 198) → Ride the Ghost Kalesa (solo) → Call the kalesa. You are taken inside.
2. Talk to the Kalesa Conductor next to you → Start the ride. The 15-minute timer starts now.
3. Walk to Lantern 1 and click it ("strike a match"). Spirits appear. Defeat all of them - the lantern lights.
4. Do the same at Lantern 2 and Lantern 3. You must light them in order (1, 2, 3).
5. Go to the Ghost Kalesa in the hall at the end and click it. Defeat the Kutsero ng Lagim.
6. Done! Rewards appear in the chat and you return to Prontera after 30 seconds.

Party ride, step by step

1. Make a party. The party leader talks to Mang Kanor → Ride the Ghost Kalesa (party) → Call the kalesa.
2. Every other member talks to Mang Kanor → Ride the Ghost Kalesa (party) → Climb aboard.
3. Wait until everyone is inside, then one player talks to the Kalesa Conductor → Start the ride.
4. Stay together. Be near each lantern when it lights and near the kutsero when he dies (see "checkpoints" below).

Difficulty

Road and boss	Strongest rider aboard	Kutsero HP (solo)
Easy Kutsero: Ghostring look	Base Lv 40 or lower	6,000
Normal Kutsero: Dark Priest look	Base Lv 41-70	40,000
Hard Kutsero: Dark Illusion look	Base Lv 71 or higher	120,000

• The road matches the strongest rider aboard when the ride starts. A stronger player can't join a ride that already started on an easier road - climb aboard before the start.
• More riders = more spirits per wave and more kutsero HP (+60% per extra rider).
• Spirits and the kutsero drop no items, but they give EXP. They do not count for kill requests. Teleporting is blocked; dying costs no EXP.

Rewards and limits

• Up to 3 rides per account per day (solo or party, called or joined). A ride counts as used when you enter it, even if it fails. In week 4 the points and candy are +50%.
• 3-minute rest between rides on the same account.
• Ran out of time? The lanterns go out and everyone returns to Prontera. You can try again after the rest. If everyone leaves the kalesa for 5 minutes, it disappears.
• Last ride can start on Nov 25, 11:59 PM.

Light Up Prontera

The whole server works together to light lanterns for the parade. The total is shown by Mang Kanor and on the paper lanterns around the plaza.

• Each account can add up to 6 lanterns per day from all sources together. In week 2, everything except zeny donations counts double (still max 6).
• Donating a lantern also completes the "Light a Lantern" request.

Community milestones

• When a milestone is reached it is announced to the server and more lanterns appear around the Prontera plaza.
• Every account that has given at least 3 lanterns can claim each reached milestone from Mang Kanor (Claim lantern milestone rewards), until Nov 28.

Hollow Masquerade costumes

Earn Parade Points and claim the three costumes from Tiyo Berto (Costume rewards). Points are never spent: reaching 800 points unlocks all three. One of each per account.

Where Parade Points come from

• A casual pace (2 requests + 1 impostor a day) is about 100 points a day, so the first costume takes about 3 days and all three about 1-2 weeks with the chapters.
• Costumes are account-bound: they can be moved to your other characters through storage, but not traded, sold or dropped.
• Make room in your bag before claiming: if your bag is too full or heavy, the claim is refused and stays available.
• Claims close Nov 28. The bonus stats stop after Nov 30, but you keep the costume and its look.

Lagim Candy shop

Lagim Candy is saved on your account (it is not an item). Spend it at Ningning, the Candy Merchant. Everything she sells is account-bound. The shop closes Nov 28, 11:59 PM.
