The Hollow Captain
A scarecrow captain with an anchor for a weapon rises out of the pumpkin fields every night of the Harvestwake season. Everyone who helps bring him down gets paid, so the more the merrier.
When and where
Section titled “When and where”- Every night at 7:00 PM Chicago time, until November 30.
- Where: Hollowfield. Use
/warp hollowfield, or click the link in chat. - 15 minutes before, a countdown bar appears and chat posts an [I’m in] button. Click it to tell everyone you are coming and get a one-click teleport when he rises.
- He waits for company: the Captain rises once a second sailor arrives, or at 7:20 PM at the latest.
Rules of the field
Section titled “Rules of the field”- One life per fight. If you die, you are out until the next night.
- You keep your inventory in Hollowfield and no grave is made.
- No healing commands.
/heal,/feed,/god,/repairand friends are blocked in Hollowfield. Bring food, potions and golden apples.
The fight
Section titled “The fight”| Health | 4,000, plus 1,500 for each extra fighter (up to 12,000) |
| Melee | His anchor hits hard. Armor helps. |
What to watch for:
- Anchor slams. If a slam hits nobody, the anchor sticks in the ground and he is stuck for a moment. That is your opening.
- Reaping Tide. A ring around him that hits through armor, and leaves him worn out for a moment afterward.
- Burning Lantern. When a lantern appears, hit it or right-click it within 7 seconds to kick it back at him. It stuns him and he takes extra damage.
- Straw Deckhands. While his crew is up, he takes half damage. Clear them.
- Scarecrow posts and crows show up as the fight goes on, and more of them when the crowd is big.
- No cheese. Standing on the wreck’s ribs gets you yanked down in front of him, players far away get hooked and pulled in, and if you kite he will stride straight to you. Explosions only do a quarter of their damage to him.
- Captain’s Mark. He picks a new target every few seconds, so everyone gets a turn.
