Adventure World Haunted Village Expedition: Everything you need to know

Just in time for Halloween, some themed content has finally appeared in Adventure World. Specifically, a new Expedition called Haunted Village is now available to complete from the basic Expeditions menu. The Haunted Village requires you to have 250 Supplies in your inventory, along with two each of Foods, Fuel and Water. You can bring five crew members in on this Expedition with you, giving a bonus of 15 energy as you go along. Once you begin this particular Expedition, you'll have four days to finish it, so let's get started!

Investigate the Haunted Village

    Collect 6 Missing Gravestone Pieces from Spiders
    Repair 6 Gravestones
    Investigate the Mausoleum


For this Expedition, you'll be in charge of investigating villagers' claims of missing persons and items. This village happens to be near a graveyard and a mausoleum, so of course strange things have started occurring there! To find these Gravestone Pieces, you'll need to travel around the map, finding (and fighting) green spiders that are scattered around the map. The problem with this particular map is that most of it is covered in fog, so you'll just need to navigate to the various areas around the map hoping to find spiders there, rather than being able to plan everything in advance. You do have one hint though - the spiders that are carrying the gravestone pieces move more slowly than the others (they're being weighed down by the pieces, after all), so you can use that to figure out exactly which ones to target, once you see them.

As for the Gravestones that you'll need to repair, these are located at the far end of the map, but luckily, they're all in the same general area, so once you've found one, you'll find the others. Finally, the Mausoleum is at the very top of the map.

Undead Spiders!

    Defeat 35 Undead Spiders
    Clear 5 Webs


Your main enemy in this Expedition will be the green spiders I mentioned earlier. It turns out, these spiders are green for a reason - they're dead (or, undead, as the case may be)! Most of them require just a single whack to kill, so feel free to whack each one you see (they'll come after you too, in many cases, making your search easier). As for the webs, these look different than the webs you've seen before, as they may be perched up against a building, rather than being placed strictly between two sticks.

Something Spooked the Villagers!

    Ask for 10 Smelly Socks
    Use two Pairs of Smelly Socks on 5 Villagers


Apparently, the undead spiders were so terrifying, that a group of villagers have been paralyzed with fear on the outside of the village. You'll need to ask your friends to send you the smelly socks (you'll receive two for free by speaking with one of the villagers that greets you at the beginning of the Expedition), and then use two socks on each of the five villagers that are frozen with fear. For the record, your request is a general wall post that all of your neighbors can respond to, rather than individual requests as you may have expected.

Once you finish this particular Expedition, the Halloween fun won't be over in Adventure World, and we'll make sure to bring you coverage of the game's next Halloween-themed event just as soon as we can.

What do you think of this Haunted Village Expedition? Should it be easier to complete, since it's based around a holiday?

Adventure World Creepy Crypt Expedition: Everything you need to know

While you're waiting for your friends to send you smelly socks in Adventure World's Haunted Village Expedition, why not consider double-timing it with the Creepy Crypt Expedition, which has also been released just in time for Halloween? This Creepy Crypt Expedition has you tracking down lost spirits and restoring graves. You'll need 250 Supplies to start this one, along with two each of Food, Fuel and Water. You'll have four full days to complete this Expedition, which can reward up to 3,150 coins and one Fuel, should you complete and clear everything on the map. You can bring five friends in on this Expedition with you for extra energy, but even if you choose to go it alone, here's a guide to help you through.

Foggy Frights

    Deactivate the 5 Fog Machines
    Deactivate the 5 Film Projectors
    Ask friends for 5 Planks
    Use five Planks to Cross the Chasm



The Aztecs apparently used this cave as a burial ground for their most celebrated warriors, and now the place is supposedly haunted by the souls of Spanish Conquistadors that came and pillaged the place looking for buried treasures (literally). For this Expedition, your main goal will be to investigate whether or not these ghost stories are true. As you go along, you'll find Fog Machines and Film Projectors that someone has set up to scare any visitors, creating the appearance of ghosts. For this map, even though you're underground, "clouds" will still cover some areas of the map, but the clouds are black instead of white. Once you clear out some "clouds" though, you'll find the Fog Machines and Film Projectors relatively close to one another, making your search a bit easier.

As for the Planks, these are earned by asking your friends to send them to you via a generic wall post. Once you have five, you can use them in the bottom left-side of the map, to cross pillars that otherwise have no path, as seen below.

Grave Intentions

    Collect the 3 Skulls from their Plinths
    Place the Gold Skull on its Grave
    Place the Jade Skull on its Grave
    Place the Turquoise Skull on its Grave


The Skulls are found on pillars scattered around the map, normally blocked by debris or spiders that will try to stop you. Once you collect them, you'll need to head to the Grave nearby that matches each Skull's color. For instance, the Gold Skull is seen in the picture below, while its matching Grave is found just to the left, blocked by a boulder that can only be removed with Dynamite (available for 1,000 coins back in your Tool Shop at Base Camp).

Grim Glyphs

    Ask friends for 10 Translation Scrolls
    Investigate the Aztec Hieroglyphs


Once you cross the chasm, you'll come across a pyramid-shaped structure that has a mysterious statue on the top. There are hieroglyphs surrounding it, but you'll need to gather 10 Translation Scrolls by sending out individual requests to friends in order to finish this particular quest. Only after you've gathered these scrolls can you start to interact with the statue / pillar, which has 10 hit points, and must be investigated 10 times to match.

The hardest part of this Expedition won't be in finding the Fog Machines or Film Projectors, but rather will be in the time and energy-consuming spider fights and waiting for your friends to send you items (both Planks and Translation Scrolls). Luckily, with four full days to complete these three quests, you should be able to finish everything in time to earn your rewards. If additional Halloween content launches in the game, we'll make sure to let you know.
