Witch Malady Halloween Quest Guide
| NPC | Witch Malady at the Haunted House (Phantom Forest) |
|---|---|
| Currency | Dark Token, from any boss monster |
| Kitchen | Seven Witch dishes from Cursed Frog Eggs and Cursed Cat Spittle |
| Repeat | Unlimited |
Witch Malady runs two Halloween services at the entrance of the Haunted House: a Dark Token exchange and a kitchen that cooks seven buff dishes. Players found her kitchen stopped after her first line; that is fixed, and pressing OK on her runaway frogs-and-cats line now opens the dish list.
Her kitchen

Where the frog eggs and cat spittle come from
Every 10 minutes her Frogs and Black Cats creep into two of the towns below looking for food, usually towns where adventurers are about, and a blue message tells everyone there.
- They look harmless (level 5, and they barely scratch you), but every hit on them does exactly 1 damage, whatever you are wielding. It takes about 500 hits to bring one down, so gather a crowd.
- Knock one out and its true self rises: a Cursed Frog or Cursed Black Cat, a level 35 boss with 35,000 HP that attacks the moment it appears, about what a level 60 adventurer can take on.
- Beat the cursed form and it scatters 20 Cursed Frog Eggs (frog) or 20 Cursed Cat Spittle (cat), plus a Dark Token, since it is a boss. Anyone on the map can pick them up, not only whoever hit it most.
- Left alone, a frog or cat wanders off after a few minutes; a cursed form slinks away after about a quarter of an hour.
Towns they can show up in: Henesys, Ellinia, Perion, Kerning City, Kerning Square, Lith Harbor, Sleepywood, Ereve, Orbis, Ludibrium, Korean Folk Town, Leafre, Mu Lung, Ariant, Singapore's CBD, the Mushroom Shrine, and right outside the Haunted House.
Not in the mood to chase frogs? She also sells the Egg and the Spittle for 1 Dark Token each.
The Dark Token exchange
Every boss monster that drops loot also drops one Dark Token. For a multi-stage boss you get one token from the stage that drops. She trades:
| Item | Dark Tokens | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Cursed Frog Egg or Cursed Cat Spittle | 1 | Cooking ingredient (see her kitchen above) |
| Normal Witch Scroll | 20 | Re-rolls the stats of the Talking Witch Hat or the Broomstick |
| Talking Witch Hat | 30 | Level 20 hat: STR, DEX, INT, LUK +1, MP +100, DEF 15/15, 7 upgrade slots |
| Broomstick | 50 | Level 20 one-handed sword: 31 attack, Speed +5, fast, 7 slots |
| Witch's Crimson Belt | 80 | Level 30 belt: DEF 20/20, Jump +2, 3 slots, untradeable |
| Witch's Ocean Blue Belt | 100 | Level 55 belt: DEF 45/45, Speed +2, 3 slots, untradeable |
| Witch's Belt Scroll | 100 | Re-rolls the stats of any of the three Witch's belts |
| Witch's Deep Purple Belt | 150 | Level 85 belt: DEF 60/60, attack +1, magic +1, Speed +2, Jump +2, 3 slots, untradeable |
Dark Tokens cannot be traded, so earn your own. Hover over an item's picture in her list to see its stats.
The Witch scrolls work like a Chaos Scroll for the witch's own gear: every stat the item already has goes up or down by up to 5. They never fail and never destroy the item, but they can roll a stat down. She checks your inventory first; if a tab is full nothing is taken.
The other Halloween quests
The Haunted Mansion story and the Maid's daily Collect Pumpkin Pieces are covered on Haunted Mansion. The Halloween Pumpkin Hat from the Maid has no upgrade slots; that is intended.
