What the Pumpkin King Fight Is
The fight is the main boss event of Halloween Part 2. It happens in a portal arena outside the Abandoned Manor. Each win earns a Boss Mastery point and a chance at the Divine Pumpkin King.
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Update | Halloween Part 2 (Update 10) |
| Live date | October 24, 2026 |
| Spawn times | :15 and :45 each hour |
| Entry | Glowing orange Pumpkin King portal |
| Fight order | Pumpkin Brute, then Pumpkin King |
| Reward track | 65 tiers, including six new Halloween pets |
Two guides cover the fight, and they agree on the order. One says the key comes from a fishing minigame, and the other calls it a rare fishing reward. Both describe the same route.
How to Get the Manor Key
You need the key to open the Manor Gate. Hold to Reset lays out the steps.
- Finish Echo’s quest. It gives you the Phantom Express Ticket.
- Board the Phantom Express. It takes you to the Forgotten Town.
- Find the Green Whirlpool. Walk into it to reach the Secret Fishing Area.
- Talk to Gus. He lost the key in the water.
- Fish until you catch it. It may take a few casts.
- Take the green sewer pipe. It leads to the outside of the Abandoned Manor.
- Use the key on the gate. The chained door opens.
While you fish, you may also earn Candy Corn, eggs and sometimes the Spectral Mutation. As a result, you do not waste the wait. Bloxodes says no cast count guarantees the catch, so bring patience.
Pumpkin Brute: Phase 1 Guide
Pumpkin Brute is the first fight. Bloxodes describes the tactics.
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Weapon | Use the bat for melee attacks |
| Danger | Red circles appear on the floor |
| Response | Step out of the circles |
| Damage window | Attack when openings appear |
Therefore, the fight rewards movement more than speed. Watch the floor first, then swing the bat after each attack ends. Because the sources give no boss health, I cannot say how long phase 1 lasts.
Pumpkin King: Shield Phase and Cannons
After the Brute, you face the Pumpkin King. His shield phase uses cannons, and the arena gives prompts.
- Wait for “FREE YOUR CANNON.” When it appears, use the bat to free the blocked cannon.
- Click to fire. Fire once the cannon is free.
- Keep firing. Continue when the “fire the cannons!” prompt appears.
- Shoot through the stun countdown. Keep shooting for the full duration.
In addition, stay out of danger zones while you free the cannon. Teammates help, since one player can clear the cannon while another shoots. That tip is my advice, not a confirmed mechanic.

Spawn Times and How to Plan Around Them
The fight runs at :15 and :45 every hour. That gives you two windows an hour.
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Window 1 | :15 past the hour |
| Window 2 | :45 past the hour |
| Gap | 30 minutes |
| Prep | Have the Manor Key before the window |
Because the windows repeat every half hour, you can fish for the key between fights. However, arrive a minute early, since the portal only matters at the spawn. Hold to Reset gives the timing, and I found no second source for it, so check the in-game timer.
Divine Pumpkin King
Divine Pumpkin King is a chance reward from the boss fight. Both guides say a win does not guarantee it, and neither states the odds. Therefore, the only way to raise your chances is to fight more often.
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Source | Pumpkin King boss fight |
| Guaranteed | No |
| Odds | Not stated |
Boss Mastery Rewards
Each Pumpkin King defeat earns one Mastery Point. Hold to Reset lists 65 unlocks in total, and these are the ones it names.
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Bubblelord | 3 kills |
| Coffin Crawler | 10 kills |
| Bell Scream | 17 kills |
| Phantom Banshee | 30 kills |
| Vespera | 45 kills |
| Pumpkin Scythe (weapon) | 52 kills |
| Pumpkin Brute | 65 kills |
The other 58 unlocks are not in my source, so I will not guess them. As a result, check the in-game track for the full list. Bloxodes says the reward track has 65 tiers with six new Halloween pets, which matches the 65 total.
Cursed Monarch Fusion Recipe
The Cursed Monarch needs a co-op fusion. Here is the recipe from Hold to Reset.
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Location | Fuse Altar, in a room with four pedestals upstairs in the Abandoned Manor |
| Players | Two |
| Each player brings | 2x Ghost Fish and 2x Voidseer Pumpkin |
| Ghost Fish | Eternal, caught fishing in the Haunted Swamp |
| Voidseer Pumpkin | Divine, from the Abandoned Manor biome egg |
| Result | A Cursed Monarch Egg, which hatches the pet |
Bloxodes confirms the manor has a secret Fusion Machine that needs a second player. Because both guides agree, plan on bringing a partner. I could not open a third guide on the Divine version, so I cannot confirm that variant.
Tips to Win More Often
These tips come from the confirmed mechanics, and some are my advice.
- Get the key early. Fish between boss windows.
- Arrive before :15 or :45. The portal fight starts on the clock.
- Dodge first, attack second. Pumpkin Brute’s red circles punish standing still.
- Learn the cannon prompts. Free the cannon, then shoot.
- Bring a partner for fusion. The altar needs two players.
- Fish at the Haunted Swamp. Ghost Fish come from there.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Missing the window. The fight runs only at :15 and :45.
- Skipping Echo’s quest. You need the Phantom Express Ticket.
- Expecting a guaranteed Divine drop. The odds are unknown.
- Standing in the red circles. They damage you.
- Forgetting the cannon prompts. The shield phase needs them.
- Fusing alone. The altar needs two players.
Conclusion
The Steal an Egg Pumpkin King fight runs at :15 and :45 every hour. You need the Manor Key from the Secret Fishing Area, then beat Pumpkin Brute and Pumpkin King. Boss Mastery unlocks pets and a scythe as you win, and the Cursed Monarch needs two players with Ghost Fish and Voidseer Pumpkins. The sources do not give boss health or Divine Pumpkin King odds. Everything here is accurate as of October 29, 2026, and the developers may change the event.
