Haunted Mansion is the Masked Gentleman's Halloween party: a story told across about forty quests in an old mansion whose family, a doll-maker named Jonas, his wife Lyudmila, their daughter Sophelia and the servants, has been under a curse for a hundred years. It is not a party quest. You walk around the rooms, solve a few small puzzles, make choices that change which quests you get, and play the story out twice before the last part opens. The quests can be done at any time of year.

Before you go

The invitation. At level 10 talk to Cassandra: The Masked Man's Invitation gives you a Masked Man's Invitation. She stands in most towns, among them Henesys, Ellinia, Perion, Kerning City, Lith Harbor, Orbis, El Nath and Ludibrium.
Using it. Double-click the invitation to be taken to the Entrance of Haunted Mansion. The invitation is used up. If you lose it, Unfinished Party (Cassandra) gives you a new one as long as you are not carrying one.
Getting out. The exit portal at the right end of the Entrance takes you back to the town where you used the invitation, or to Henesys if the game does not know where that was.
The Gatekeeper. Gatekeeper at the Entrance used to turn away guests who were not in costume. Nobody is turned away any more.

★

Different from the original game In the original game the Gatekeeper only let in guests who wore a Halloween costume or a transformation. MapleVerse lets everyone in. The ghost form from the cat's quest and the transformation items later in the story are still used, but only where a quest asks for them.

✦

Tip Every monster in the mansion takes exactly 5 damage from each hit, whatever you are carrying, and hits you for exactly 5 as well. A level 10 character and a level 150 character defeat them at the same speed, so a bigger weapon does not help. Bring a friend instead.

Monsters and drops

Monster	Level	HP	Drops
Jack-o-Lantern	10	10	Pumpkin Pieces 40%, Halloween Candy 15%
Ghost	15	15	Halloween Candy 20%
Green Phantom	16	20	Halloween Candy 12%; Lyudmilla's Earring 20% while the quest asks for it
Rideword P, Y and B	15	15	Score 30% while the quest asks for it
Busted Doll, Destroyed Doll	20	20	Piece of Cloth 70%

The Jack-o-Lantern attacks from a distance; the others only touch you. The chances include MapleVerse's doubling of etc items (the Earring, the Score and the Piece of Cloth).

Side activities

The cat and the graves (Cat's Advice)

Nameless Cat at the Entrance gives Cat's Advice (level 10, after the invitation). Walk west to the Abandoned Graveyard and read the four graves from left to right by clicking each one. Each shows a name. Go back to the cat and tell him the four names from left to right when he asks, typing them exactly (capital letters count). A wrong answer shuffles the names, so read them again. When you get them right the cat turns you into a ghost for an hour.

The four names are Nicholas, Berriere, Yvette and Razbelle. Their order on the graves is different each time, so you still have to look.

The ghost form has no use now that the Gatekeeper lets everyone in; it is just for show.

Collect Pumpkin Pieces (the daily hat)

The Maid in the Main Hall gives Collect Pumpkin Pieces (level 10, after the invitation): bring her 50 Pumpkin Pieces and she gives you a Halloween Pumpkin Hat. She can only make one a day: the quest repeats after 23 hours.

Pumpkin Pieces come from three places:

Jack-o-Lanterns in the Main Hall and the graveyard drop them 40% of the time.
The pumpkin field. The Maid also stands in the Foyer of the Haunted House, which you reach with the NLC Taxi from New Leaf City. There she offers I'd like to make a Jack-o'-Lantern. and takes you to a pumpkin field. Six carved parts of a big pumpkin (eyes, nose and mouth) each take five hits to cut out; every one of the five swings drops 3 to 5 Pumpkin Pieces, so one part is worth 15 to 25. The parts are shared by everyone on the channel and a part someone has already cut out stays cut.
Quests. Making Pumpkin Juice later in the story needs 10 more.

★

Different from the original game The original hat expired after three days. The hat from the Maid has no expiry in MapleVerse. Hitting the pumpkin parts drops pieces on every swing; the original dropped them once, when the part broke.

The story

The story has three parts and about forty quests. Almost all of them are started and finished inside the mansion. Quests marked (dialogue) have no objective beyond a conversation.

Part 1: Sophelia's party

This part is played twice. The first time you reach a sad ending; the Masked Gentleman then winds everything back and you play it again, after which the second part opens. You can take the other branch the second time or repeat the same one.

Quest	Who	What to do
Conversation with the Masked Gentleman	Masked Gentleman (Main Hall)	Hear the story of the house. (dialogue)
Strange Girl	Sophelia (her room)	Bring her 5 Halloween Candy. Then choose where to look for someone who remembers her: Through the fireplace, up the Chimney (Jonas) or Down the corridor, to Jonas's Room (Lyudmila).

Branch A: the Chimney and Jonas

Quest	Who	What to do
Doll Master Jonas	Jonas (Doll Workshop)	He gives you a Rag Doll. Double-click it to open its window and feed it 30 Pieces of Cloth (Busted and Destroyed Dolls drop them; Guest Room 2 has ten). Hand the finished doll back. He throws it aside and asks what a perfect doll needs: A Perfect Tool or Sophelia's Portrait.
Perfect Tool	Jonas	While this quest is in progress the torn wall at the right end of the Doll Workshop opens into the Hidden Chimney. Break the Gothic Skull Box there (four hits) to get the Perfect Tool. Hand it in.
Sophelia's Portrait	Jonas	Click Sophelia's Picture Frame in the Frame Room to lift down her Sophelia’s Portrait. Hand it in. You can only carry one.

Branch B: Jonas's Room and Lyudmila

Quest	Who	What to do
Lyudmila's Earrings	Lyudmila (Jonas's Room)	Find her earring: Green Phantoms in the Narrow Corridor, Jonas's Room and Guest Rooms 1 and 4 drop it. When you hand it in she asks what the most important thing at a party is: Good music or Delicious food.
Good Music	Lyudmila	Rideword in Jonas' Study drop the Score. Click the grand piano in the Main Hall to put the Score on it; the piano plays by itself and Lyudmila accepts the quest as done.
Delicious Food	Lyudmila	Ask the Maid for Making Pumpkin Juice: 10 Pumpkin Pieces buy a Pumpkin Juice. Hand it to Lyudmila.

The ending and the rewind

Quest	Who	What happens
Sophelia's Tear	Sophelia	After any of the four endings, tell Sophelia who you met. She cries.
New Opportunity	Masked Gentleman	The first time only: he puts everything back as it was (the whole of Part 1, your Rag Doll included). Play it again.

Changed your mind? Four short quests let you pick again without a full rewind: I want to go in a different direction now. (Sophelia: back to the route question), I want to change my decision. (Jonas: Perfect Tool or Portrait), I think my answer was wrong. (Lyudmila: music or food) and I'll return the doll. (Jonas: take the Rag Doll back if you cannot finish it).

When you reach Sophelia's Tear a second time (after the rewind) the second part opens.

Part 2: the Hidden Room

Quest	Who	What to do	Reward

Forgotten Name	Masked Gentleman, then Joey	The Masked Gentleman turns you into Sophelia for 3 minutes (a doll). Hurry to Joey in the Hidden Room and talk to him while you are transformed. If you are too slow he gives you another doll.	none

The frame puzzle. Click the five frames in this order. Each shows what is in it when you click it:

the portrait of a proud lady in a splendid dress (Lyudmila),
the wedding photograph of a smiling bride and groom,
the two gentlemen with fine mustaches standing side by side,
the elderly man with snow-white hair,
the man hunched over a doll whose face twists into a demon's (Jonas).

A wrong frame slides the row back (to the first step if it was the first frame, otherwise to nothing). After the fifth, Sophelia's Picture Frame creaks open. It only leads on while one of the quests Hidden Room, Forgotten Name or Peto's Transformation is in progress, or after you finished Hidden Room.

The Steward's Repentance (speak to the Steward) and Joey's Repentance (speak to Joey) can be done at any time while Peto's Transformation is in progress. Each only works while you look like Peto. Then return to the Masked Gentleman.	1,100 EXP and The Curse Breaker Medal

If the potion runs out before you finish, return to the Masked Gentleman for another.

Tips and common mistakes

Stock up before you start. Halloween Candy: 5 for Strange Girl (5 more for the second play of Part 1), 10 for Finding a Doll, 20 for Memory of the Past. Pieces of Cloth: 30 for the Rag Doll on the Jonas branch, 20 for the photo album and 20 for the Peto Doll. Pumpkin Pieces: 10 for the juice on the food branch, 50 for the daily hat.
The Rideword and the Green Phantoms only drop the Score and the Earring while that quest is in progress and you are missing the item.
Forgotten Name needs the Sophelia form when you speak to Joey; the five repentances need the Peto form. Anyone you speak to in the wrong form, or none, only brushes you off.
If you can no longer finish a doll, I'll return the doll. takes the Rag Doll back.
All the mansion's rooms are public: other guests may be doing the same quests next to you.
