The Mad King Thorn!


Who is Mad King Thorn?

The Mad King Thorn will begin showing up in Lion's Arch and Kamadan 5 times a day starting from Saturday 31st October, so if you missed him during the whole event... unlucky. Because he's not coming back... till next year.

Mad King Thorn appears in the same mushroom circle area in both Lion's Arch and Kamadan. Undead horsemen "Heralds" routinely warned travellers of their master's impending arrival in both cities. They however are simply scripted NPCs and not very accurate.


When does he show up?

Starting from Saturday October 31st, Mad King Thorn makes appearances every three hours throughout the day in Lion's Arch and Kamadan. His first appearance will take place at 12:01AM Pacific Time and his final appearance be at on Sunday November 1st at 12.01AM Pacific Time. For a total of 9 appearances.


Mad King Thorn's Games

The name of the Mad King pretty much speaks for itself, he's completely insane! So besides really bad jokes, he also beckons players to join in his games. The Mad King will go through three phases of games before giving out a prize and then leaving. Phases are:


Phase 1 - Do as the Mad King Commands, or die...

After some minor introductions from the Mad King, he wastes no time to get everyone there to entertain him.

A number of things will be asked:

• He will tell jokes (Bad ones) and expect everyone within the green circle area to use /laugh
• He will command everyone to play music, so /flute or /drums for example.
• Or he may just ask everyone to /beg.

Those who followed his orders were rewarded with Halloween collectable items (See section later in the guide for more info), but those who don't will be killed on the spot!


Phase 2 - Lethal Rock, Paper and Scissors - win or die...

In this phase, the Mad King will challenging a random member of the crowd to a game of Lethal game of rock, paper and scissors.

Use the command /rock, /paper or /scissors and hope for the best.

If you win, you will be rewarded with a a Trick-or-Treat Bag. Nothing happens if you tie with the King. Losing, however results in... you guessed it, death!

The Mad King will do a few rounds of this game before going to Phase 1 again.


Phase 3 - The Mad King says.... (You may just die...)

After a few rounds of Phase 1 and Phase 2 games, the Mad King will then begin the final phase of the games... a few simple games of Simon Says!

Anyone who played this game in real life knows how it works: if the King says "Mad King says Jump!” you have about three seconds to do it, or die.

The emotes which are bolded in the list below, are the ones which you must do as he says. Ignore the others:

• Flex
• Yawn

Special Thanks to SirJackassIII for providing quest info and ALL of the below screenshots. Your a star

1. Something Wicked This Way Comes Solo Quest

Mad King's Steward in Lion's Arch or Kamadan, Jewel of Istan

Requirements:

None

Reward:

Travel to Lion's Arch or Kamadan, Jewel of Istan and speak to the new event NPC called the Mad King's Steward.

You will be shown the following quest Log:



Accept and travel to the Temple of the Ages, Zin Ku Corridor, or Chantry of Secrets.

Use a Transmogrifier Tonic and speak to the Voice of Grenth and gain audience in the Underworld as an agent of the Mad King.

Once inside the underworld you will still have the effect of Transmogrifier Tonic, your skillbar will have the following available:



The northeast door out of the central chamber will be open. Head through this door and on into the Ice Wastes. At the far west end of the Wastes is the Hall of Judgment, where King Frozenwind awaits you.

All the normal enemies of the Underworld are still there, but you will have a special skill bar with skills uniquely suited to running past them.

You should be able to get past most enemies using only Sugar Rush, although Sticky Ground can be helpful in some spots. Coldfire Nights, however, can slow you down immensely with Shard Storm, so you'll probably want to neutralize them with The Mad King's Influence.

The Costume Brawl! 2009 (Mini-Game)

This Costume Brawl! has returned this again this year.

You can fight in the guise of famous characters from the Guild Wars story, using that character's custom set of skills and the equipment!

To enter this special mini-game, speak with a new NPC — Bobby [Costume Brawl] — in the towns of Lion's Arch, Kamadan, and the Great Temple of Balthazar.


Each profession has a corresponding character, so simply change your profession type should you wish to try out different characters.

The following characters are available in this year's Costume Brawl:


After you speak with Bobby [Costume Brawl], you will enter the outpost for the Costume Brawl already dressed in your costume, with your skills pre-selected.

If you forgot a weapon, one will be spawned at your feet.

From there, you will join the combat in one of three brand new arenas or two favourites from the Hero Battle series. Each brawl is free of Death Penalty, and each round will last ten minutes. At the end of a match, every player on the winning team will receive a prize.


Disguises and Skill Sets

The following disguises and skill sets are available in the 2009 Costume Brawl:


How to Play and Strategies

Each map has capture points; the objective is to be the first team to score 20 points. Points are accumulated by killing opponents (1 point each kill) and capturing Shrines, which fill up the team's "Morale" bar and consequently grants points each time it fills up completely. Holding more capture points increases the rate at which the Morale bar fills up.

Depending on the map, the following shrines may be encountered:

• Battle Cry Shrine: Grants Battle Cry effect, increases all team members movement, attack and skill recharge speeds
• Health Shrine: Gives +140 maximum health
• Energy Shrine: Reduces the energy cost of skills
• Morale Shrine: Increases morale gain speed

Unlike Alliance Battles, capturing shrines is not the key to victory, as shrines will only add benefits to your team rather than adding points directly. However, the teams that neglect shrines will be faced with a tactical disadvantage, and may not be able to kill faster than the opposing team is gaining points from shrines.

Teams should therefore balance between shrine-holding and killing while preventing deaths.

A good team will work together to cature shrines while fending off the other team.

An important tip is avoid being left alone or moving without your team! Most teams stick together and being caught alone will result in quick death.

Saying that at the beginning of each match spread out and capture as many points as possible to get an initial advantage. Then regroup for safety.


Prizes

Battle series. Each brawl is free of Death Penalty, and each round will last ten minutes. At the end of a match, every player on the winning team will receive the following:

• 5 Trick-or-Treat Bags
• 10 Gamer Points + 1 point for each previous win in the streak (so the second consecutive win gives 11, the third 12, and so on)
• 100 Balthazar Faction

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Halloween Collectable Items

The following collectable items are available during the Halloween 2009 event:


Trick-or-Treat Bag





Collectable item, has only one use. When opened it will give one of the following items:

This is a list of the items you may get from a Trick-Or-Treat Bag:

• Witch's Brew
• Vial of Absinthe
• Squash Serum
• Ghost-in-the-Box
• Transmogrifier Tonic
• Pumpkin Cookie
• Candy Apple
• Candy Corn

Witch's Brew



Collectable item, has only one use. It causes a blurry "drunken" sensation for a short period of time. Drinking multiple batches of witch's brew may cause unpredictable drunken behaviour such as random emotes or text bubbles above the drunken character's head. The screen will also turn more orange the more you drink. This item provides 1 Level / Point of drunkenness for the Drunkard title track.


Vial of Absinthe



Collectable item, has only one use. It causes a green flame to flare at your feet for a second, then gives a blurry "drunken" effect that compounds with multiple uses within a short period. Having too many (Five typically) results in the screen going green bullet-time style for a short while. This item provides 1 Level / Point of drunkenness for the Drunkard title track.


Squash Serum



Collectable item, has only one use. When used a translucent Jack-o'-lantern with a sparkling stem to appear around your character's head for a brief time.

If you drink a bunch of Serums in a row, the Jack-o'-lantern and sparkling stem become less and less translucent. This item provides 1 point towards the Party Animal title track.


Ghost-in-the-Box



Collectable item, has only one use. It causes a miniature Wraith to appear in front of you with a slightly startling noise and the word "Boo!" above its head. It stays for a brief time, then disappear in a puff of smoke with another yell.

Interestingly, when used during PvE, monsters will attack the ghost, making it a handy decoy. Also, the ghost's "death" produces the effect of Soul Reaping for Necromancers. The Ghost-in-the-box item cannot be used during PvP matches. This item provides 1 point towards the Party Animal title track.


Transmogrifier Tonic



Collectable item, has only one use. This item cannot be used in PvP. When used you will gain an effect that causes you to take on the appearance of a slimmer Mad King's Guard. The emotes shown by this Avatar of Sweetness are identical to the female necromancer emotes. The effect lasts for 50 minutes. This item provides 2 point towards the Party Animal title track.


Pumpkin Cookie



Collectable item, has only one use. You gain a 10% morale boost. This morale boost does not cause skills to instantly recharge. This item provides 1 point towards Sweet Tooth title track.


Candy Apple



Collectable item, has only one use. Provides +100 maximum health and +10 maximum energy for 10 minutes. This item provides 1 point towards Sweet Tooth title track. The effect of this item will stack with the effect of EotN consumables


Candy Corn



Collectable item, has only one use. Raises all your attributes by 1 for 10 minutes. This item provides 1 point towards Sweet Tooth title track.

ImageShack.us, GuildWiki and the Official Guild Wars Wiki

It’s going to be a event and of course I want to get some event game play in myself, so as always I'm requesting the public to officially help out!

What is needed?

You can help me by sending a forum Private Message with any of the following:

• Pictures and information about new items
• Information and pictures of any in-game bugs found during the event
• Any pictures of interesting locations such as towns, NPCs etc... If I like them I'll add it into the guide
• Information, pictures and better yet how-to guides for any of the mini games
• Information on quests or missions during the event.

Guidelines:

Take the following into account before sending me a Private Message:

• I won't accept screenshots with user interface stuff like health bars and skills bars blocking things.
• Don't send massive 1024 x 1280 (or along those lines) images, please resize them to 640 x 480 if possible.
• All information must be accurate and clear. Nothing made up or speculation.

All submissions will be of course credited in the Contributors section. The important thing is to PM (Private Message) me the information, as I won't have the time to read tons of posts in the guide thread looking for it.

I apologise for this particularly late event guide. In fact this is my 1st guide of the year! I've missed out on a few. I've been very busy being a Dad for the 1st time and not had much time for anything else

Added: It does appear some images aren't loading. I will replace them later on.

Thanks RTSFirebat. I always use your guides. Gratz on the dad thing.

I was just wondering where your guide was. Thanks for posting this Firebat. I don't see mention of the new quest though. Starts Monday, fyi.

And grats on being a Dad. Welcome to the crazy world of child-rearing

Congrats! That's much more important. No need to apologize.

-shadguy

The shrines DO add points, same as in AB.

EDIT: I mean that the morale adds points, but your sentence is a little confusing as it is saying the morale does nothing but give you the bonus-shouts.

STICKY?
Look forward to the update on the quests, i prefer these guides alot more tha wiki etc because its all in one place with nice images explaining etc

NJ on the guide, like every year. Good for newbies and veterans

PS: Grats on being a father

i always look for your guides, glad to see this , GRATS on being a DAD

+1 vote for Sticky.
A nice and helpful guide, thank you.

Great guide.

Thanks everyone. I'll add details of the new quest(s) soon as its available. Come Monday that is.

Point taken Cracko, I've amended that section of the guide to be a bit more clear about what shrine.

thought you might want an update on the contest-----a few more hours added see regina's thread

FYI: There are horseman collectors in Droknars as well.

Nice guide haha, it's funny when you think that you've been doing these for 5 years now, and I've seen and looked at them for 5 years too.

We've all stuck to Guild Wars for so long

I couldn't find Horseman Sorcien in Lion's Arch, any1 can tell me where he is?

Thank you, your welcome. Its funny to think how long many of us have been around for Halloween and Wintersday are my fav events and I always cover them.

Not added in yet, collectors get added in waves, always been the case year after year. I did say this:

Just give it a bit of time.

Sigh, I typed up the new quest info only for my PC to crash on me... ugh! I'll have it typed up again shortly.

Updated: New quests added.

So, Im a tad confused about the event end time. It says 12:01 am Nov. 2. I'm HOPING that that means the event will continue through Monday and end Monday night at midnight, rather than that the event will literally end the very first minute of Monday morning (ending Sunday night at midnight). Anybody know for sure?

So last nite I jumped into Lion Arch dis 90 where No one was around.....
when mad king asked for music there where no Guitars.......he was no happy..
Is this new never noticed it before if it isnt, thought it was sorta funny.
He killed us all for it

Well, if I'm reading it correctly, the event ends in about 8 hours and 12 minutes. That is if I have this whole time zone thing down. The Mad King arrived at midnight my time, so I'm pretty sure I'm on the same time as Anet.

Edit: I completely forgot about daylight savings time. I don't normally have to worry about it since my state never changes with DST.

Holy crap that is hilarious! I don't think this has ever been documented, ROFL
