RELEASE THE DEMON!! So here we are another week gone by and yet another incarnation of Stewie has arrived. Is it bad of me that I like him with the horns n wings? Lol.
Well I am sure you are all anxiously awaiting the details, so let’s hop to it.
First off, the trigger points on this one. For each Phase in this event, you must complete the prior one to unlock the new content and quests. So in order to unleash Demon Stewie, you need to have completed your “Bombs Away Part 7” missions from the Minion Stewie questline.
Once completed with Bombs Away Part 7, Peter will kick start the Demon Child Part 1 after some funny dialog with him n Lois (Both in Costume). As you can see, it is essentially still Giant Stewie (so those tasks you need to complete for characters like Blobulous will still work.)
You will see that a new Comic Book Page has been added as well as a quick link to the details for Demon Stewie.
At some point AFTER completing Demon Child Part 1, you will see a notification pop up for this weeks Challenge. You will then have 4 days as soon as that timer icon pops into your task bar, so choose wisely on how you want to acquire Harpoons until it is triggered as you need to Defeat him 9 times in 4 days. (That’s 2 days if you let it reset twice back to the 1X mark.)
A second pop up also will appear after launching into the Demon Child questline. This one is pretty cool. It just requires you to run a streak on Demon Stewie with out letting him reset to earn you a really cool animated Action Movie Set for your town. Now we know it says streak, but for some it still awards at 15X. Either way, pretty cool.
Here is what the Action Movie Set looks like… in action. There are flames and fire a blaze, the manhole cover is blown up then lands back down, the lights on the car are active, as well as the water out of the fire hydrant bursting where the cop car hit it. (For those of you wondering, yes the cop car hitting a hydrant does remind me of another one in a “Clown Land”. Lol.)
Now that you have the basics, on to a bit more details about the Demon Stewie himself. First off, the new form of attack.
WHY DO I NEED HARPOONS NOW?
The new incarnation of the Giant Stewie is a bit more evil and needs a bit more evil type of weapons to take him down. Insert the Harpoons.
I HAVE PESTICIDES THOUGH, WHAT DO I DO WITH THEM?
You may have been saving up and just about to hit a Streak when the new content lauched, so what to do with all the Pesticide you have been hoarding? Trade it in of course.
If you still have Pesticide hanging around by the time the Demon is released, you will notice the option of a Dr. Manhattan Rupert Pesticide Conversion Box pop up in your Event Menu. Once you tap on it, you will start the conversion process. Each tap gives you a Conversion Box you can open to see how many Harpoons you received in exchange.
(p.s. am I the ONLY one that wants a Dr Manhattan skin now for Rupert?)
Back the the Conversion. The amount you get in return will vary. (They will NOT be a 1:1 ratio, so be ready.) This will however give you a jump start on the Demon Stewie and the Challenge Vehicle for this week. The options of Harpoons you can win inside the boxes are as follows:
Old Timey Harpoons- 3, 4, or 5
Modern Harpoons- 3, 4, or 5
High-Tech Harpoons- 3, 4, or 5
You will be able to continue collecting and opening Rupert Boxes until you have depleted all your Pesticides. Then, the Rupert Box will disappear from your menu.
WHERE ELSE CAN I GET HARPOONS?
Several new tasks were added with the new Phase, or switched out so the characters can now earn items needed for the Demon Giant Stewie. I am happy to see more of the town Characters were tossed in the mix.
| New Tasks | |||
| Character | Task | Time/ Payout | Blam!/ Harpoon |
| Red Hot Lois | Buy Shiny New Harpoons | 2hrs/ $30, 20XP | 6 Blam!/ 1 High-Tech Harpoon or 1 Old Timey Harpoon |
| Red Hot Lois | Scavenge for Harpoons | 2hrs/ $30, 20XP | 6 Blam!/ 1 High-Tech Harpoon or 1 Modern Harpoon |
| Captain Hammered | Fish for Harpoons | 2hrs/ $30, 20XP | 6 Blam!/ 1 Modern Harpoon or 1 Old Timey Harpoon |
| Captain Hammered | Buy Shiny New Harpoons | 2hrs/ $30, 20XP | 6 Blam!/ 1 High-Tech Harpoon or 1 Old Timey Harpoon |
| Blobulous | Fish for Harpoons | 2hrs/ $30, 20XP | 6 Blam!/ 1 Modern Harpoon or 1 Old Timey Harpoon |
| Blobulous | Scavenge for Harpoons | 2hrs/ $30, 20XP | 6 Blam!/ 1 High-Tech Harpoon or 1 Modern Harpoon |
| Multiplier | Compare Harpoon Sizes | 2hrs/ $30, 20XP | 6 Blam!/ 1 High-Tech Harpoon or 1 Modern Harpoon or 1 Old Timey Harpoon |
| Felicia Day | Practice Larping | 4hrs/ $30, 20XP | 6 Blam!/ 1 High-Tech Harpoon |
| Patrick Stewart | Be a Thespian | 4hrs/ $50, 30XP | 10 Blam!/ 1 Old Timey Harpoon |
| Ron Perlman | Practice Fighting Monsters | 4hrs/ $50, 30XP | 10 Blam!/ 1 Modern Harpoon |
| Bryan Cranston | Throw a Pizza | 4hrs/ $50, 30XP | 10 Blam!/ (2 out of the 3) 1 High-Tech Harpoon or 1 Old Timey Harpoon or 1 Modern Harpoon |
| Stewie | Revise Harpoon Design | 4hrs/ $50, 30XP | 5 Blam!/ 1 High-Tech Harpoon or 1 Modern Harpoon or 1 Old Timey Harpoon |
| Nathan Fillion | Make Moms Horny | 4hrs/ $50, 30XP | 6 Blam!/ 1 High-Tech Harpoon and 1 Modern Harpoon and 1 Old Timey Harpoon |
| Seamus | Whittle Harpoons | 24hrs/ $150, 100XP | 15 Blam!/ 1 High-Tech Harpoon or 1 Modern Harpoon or 1 Old Timey Harpoon |
So a mix of Characters you can use to get Harpoons you need for Demon Stewie.
You can also get High-Tech Harpoons from Latcher Stewie.
HOW DO I DEFEAT DEMON STEWIE?
The game provides you a quick overall tutorial of what to do to defeat him.
It is essentially still Giant Stewie…with wings and horns…so the concept for taking him down will be the same. After you have collected Harpoons, Tap on the Convention Center. (Tapping on the Target won’t open it.)
Once you tap on it, it will open the Vanquish Demon Stewie Screen.
From here you can see how many Harpoons you need for the Current Blam! Level as well as how many you have already of each kind. (Each Level will require a specific amount of Harpoons, though the Harpoons themselves will vary). Here is the breakdown.
| Level | Harpoons Needed | Blam! Payout (Base x Multiplier) |
| 1X | 5 | 135 |
| 3X | 8 | 405 |
| 8X | 11 | 1080 |
| 15X | 15 | 2025 |
| 30X | 20 | 4050 |
| Additional Rounds | 25 | 4050 |
If you have enough Harpoons, the option to “VANQUISH DEMON STEWIE!” will be at the bottom. If you do not, it will say “FIND HARPOONS!” and you will need to go and earn some more.
Once you tap on “VANQUISH DEMON STEWIE!”, it will go to a cut screen showing him getting engulfed in flames and disappearing into the Convention Center.
You will then be awarded your Blam! payout and will not be able to Vanquish him again for another 30 seconds.
Now remember, once you hit the top tier of 30X , you can keep going and going at that top tier and continually use the extra 5 Harpoon difference to keep hitting the MAX Blam! amount. Or if you prefer to keep it low and while you collect enough to keep a streak, you can hit any point on the Levels and then stop. Letting the 24 hour timer run all the way out. It will then reset to 1X and you can start again. (Don’t forget once you get the pop up for the Streak Action Movie Set Prize, you only have to run a streak once to get it.) Also don’t forget to get your Challenge Car for this week.
There you have it, the breakdown of the new incarnation of Giant Stewie. What do YOU think of him? Have you hit the streak yet and got the Movie Set? Do you have a favorite task that earns Harpoons? Are there any other Characters you wished had a Harpoon Earning task? Let us know.

This week bike quest is by far the hardest of all! This is the first one I’m somewhat certain that I’m not going to get as only have 2 days left but only done 4/9 attacks and it keeps picking same harpoons. On a lighter note might actually make it to George as only 15000 to go 🙂

I apologize if this has been asked before, but has anyone had problems with their game crashing? It’s gotten really bad for me ever since the appearance of Demon Stewie. I messaged TinyCo about it and got a generic response that it’s a known issue with Latcher Stewie freezing a building (which I’ve had no problems with.) There have been times where I can’t go 30 seconds without the game crashing back to the home screen, and even an erasure and reinstall action didn’t help. Oddly enough, it only seems to be affecting my iPad and not my iPhone…

It is a memory issue you run into with any game having this much going on at the same time. My suggestion is to check your device. Make sure no other apps are running in the background (Like Facebook, twitter, etc). If they are, stop them so only FG is running. Also make sure you have a good strong WiFi signal to run the game on as well as plenty of space on the devices memory itself to allow for fluctuation on the game.
If your game is linked to an email or FB account, you can also try uninstalling and reinstalling the app to see if that will refresh it and help out.

I know that this is overkill, but am I correct that if I gather 59 of each harpoon and then go through the streak of vanquishing demon Stewie, I have a 100% chance of winning the movie set prize, since the total number of harpoons to reach 30X streak level is 59 and nothing would be left to chance?

Is the amount of harpoons you need 20 or 25?…. If it’s 20 you need to hit it once more. I notice some people being confused by this.
LikeLike
The first 30X is 20 Harpoons. Each additional hit to the 30X is 25.
LikeLike
I wasn’t asking, I was suggesting that the people who are claiming to be at 30x and not getting the action set actually need to hit stewie once more. Thus why I asked if the next hit was requesting 20 or 25…. If it’s 20 harpoons, he hasn’t hit the 30x mark even though it may look like he has, he needs to hit stewie again.
I would ask this question to people claiming they’re being screwed over before sending them to tiny co, because every person I’ve talked to about this issue was actually missing the fact that they needed to hit stewie once more, thus solving their problem.
LikeLike
On the flip side, people are getting the Move Set at 15X. It all depends on when it triggered and where they are. Not to mention there IS issues with the streaks. Many have also been on their second streak after the 24 hour restart and still did not get it.

It is hard to say as no idea what it will ask for. It takes about 60 total to go to top.

I waited until I had 96 of each, that guarantees I will win the bike, it breaks down like this;
Day 1: Vanquish Stewie 5 times, this needs 59 harpoons, it will only count as 4 defeats as the first kill is needed to trigger the challenge, this should also win you the movie set (it did for me), then wait 24hrs for the streak to reset.
Day 2: Vanquish Stewie 3 times, this needs 24 harpoons, bringing total kills to 7, now again allow the 24hr timer to run down to reset the streak.
Day 3: Vanquish Stewie 2 final times, this needs 13 harpoons, and should complete the challenge.
This is the method I’m using, and I’m waiting to begin day 2, so holding off to stockpile the 96 harpoons of each type took me the whole weekend, but is well worth it in my opinion.
LikeLike
It is now mathematically beneficial to continue streaks at 30x as opposed to letting the counter reset after the first hit at 20 harpoons. The following table breaks down the payout per harpoon used with the number at right representing the cumulative payout per harpoon while building the streak.
1x=27
2x=50.6. 42
5x=99. 67.5
15x=135. 93.5
30x=202. 130.4
Additional 30x=162
The payout of 162 being higher than the cumulative 130.4 means it’s better payout overall using the 25 harpoons to get 30x.

First wave required 5 old timey, 2nd wave required 8 red, third wave required 11 old timey again, then the 4th wanted 15 old timey again.

Had a very similar thing happen to me, the first three tiers were all old timey harpoons, which of course wiped me out again and left me with way too many of the others. I let them know, I try really hard to farm daily as much as possible and it definitely was a huge let down to see that happen.
LikeLike
1. Your multiplier table lists the third level as 5x but in game is 8x but the payout is correct… So I know it’s just a typo 😉
2. I keep seeing everyone saying to let the time run out again AFTER you hit 30x streak and let it zero out. Wouldn’t it be more beneficial to continue to hit the 30x as long as you can maintain it?
You’ll have to verify the math and reliability of this model but by my calculations:
Streak: 59 harpoons total (5 types/varies) = $7695 (complete all at once/daily); Blam = 320.625/hour every day or 130/harpoon
Maintain: 50 harpoons total (2 types/25 each) = $8100 (payout/12 hrs); Blam = 337.5/hour every day or 162/harpoon
If you’re recovering the 59 used anyway this seems feasible.
LikeLike
Thanks. 😉
What I was saying is this….For players struggling to stock up on Harpoons, it is easier for them to hit just the lower levels needing less harpoons while they fill more to hit a streak. For those that have no issue getting Harpoons…continual streaks can be a great payout.

I’m really getting a lot out of this site, so I thought I’d do my best to contribute. As far as bombing the minion Stewies goes, I use a combination of techniques described on this site, but to summarize: YOU DO NOT HAVE TO COMPLETELY REARRANGE YOUR TOWN TO GET 10+ STEWIES. 1) Remove every section of road in your town except for one square in front of your Griffin House (if you have pirates, geeks, etc. running around you might want to leave a few more). 2) Collect 6 or 7 bombs, then quickly use as few as you need to clear out AT LEAST 15 minion stewies (MAKE SURE TO KEEP AT LEAST ONE BOMB WHEN YOU LOG OUT). You can group several stewies together by waiting for a small group, say 3 or 4 to come very close to each other and tap on them to stop them, they will remain still for a short period, but long enough to keep 6 or 7 fairly close together. 3) When you’ve got 5-7or so “corralled” AND IN THE CENTER OF YOUR SCREEN, try to wait for another one or two to be headed your groups way, and quickly hit your bomb site and hit bombs away over your group (this might take a little practice). 4) As soon as you’ve got your 15+ cleared log out for 30-40 minutes (do not log back in during this time). Several minion stewies spawn every 10 minutes, and they ONLY SPAWN ON THE ROADS/SIDEWALKS, which is why you cleared away all your roads. 5) Now when you log back in, if the section of road you left is directly in front of your griffin house, your game will open right there. This is another key point. Open your bomb site immediately after logging in and zoom in on your section of road. 6) When the minion stewies spawn, they “puff” in in a little puff of smoke. They may spawn almost immediately, or it may take several seconds, BE PATIENT. Hit your bombs away button AS SOON AS YOU SEE THE LITTLE PUFFS OF SMOKE. (As soon as they spawn, they start running away from the spawn point in random directions) I have gotten 15 stewies (which is the cap by the way) MANY times this way.
As for the Demon Stewie and the new Challenge for the new vehicle, this is my take and advice. Now, keep in mind this is an untested theory, as I started the Demon Child questline before I read about it. I’ll update once I prove/disprove… I believe I read on here somewhere that Chris is the trigger for the Challenge quest and that it starts “Sometime after the Demon Child Pt. 1 quest. I have completed that quest and have moved on to part two, however, WHEN THAT TASK COMPLETED, BOTH PETER AND CHRIS had tasks available. Since I am intentionally trying to delay the start of the challenge, I haven’t yet tapped on Chris’ icon as I believe that is the trigger for the challenge, I just have all my other characters doing harpoon tasks and stockpiling. I have only vanquished him the one time since the update. So to summarize: DON”T GET TAP HAPPY when you’re finishing the Demon Child Pt 1 quest. Only tap Peter’s exclamation point if you want to delay the start of the challenge. This will begin Pt.2 which I recommend not doing until you’ve unlocked the challenge since it involves vanquishing Stewie twice anyway. This will also leave Chris just walking around doing nothing, but if you’re like me and start, THEN read, well this might just help you out.

Wow, that sucks. Do you have all three of the Griffin costumes, all of the primary ComicCon celebs, and Stewie unlocked? For those who haven’t, I’d recommend getting at least most of those before writing that haiku. Nathan Fillion is a great help, too, but ultimately unnecessary. He’s the only thing I spent Clams on. Right now I’m at just under 2 days left, and should have the option for 7 Demon Stewie defeats next time the Griffins finish farming harpoons.
My strategy is to let the 24-hr timer lapse after every 3-4 kills. There’s still a lot of time to get the 30x multiplier prize, so Chris’ bike is the priority. Build up your harpoons to at least 15 each or so, kill 3 DSs in a row, then let the timer lapse (even if you have enough to kill him) while you build your harpoons back up, and it will only take two lapses (2 days plus change) plus however long it takes to get those last 3 kills, once you’ve started killing him. Unless you’re really unlucky (two or three of the same type in a row), you should be okay. I’d avoid 4 kills in a row unless you’ve been lucky on the types, as it will usually completely exhaust one of your harpoon types, leaving you at the mercy of the luck of the draw once you let it lapse.
I also found that you don’t actually have to kill DS at 30x to get the 30x prize. Just get enough harpoons to kill him (20 of the required version), and it will be awarded. Then you can lapse (you’ll probably be pretty close at that point) and get a quick 3-4 kills once it resets.

I was wondering if this is a glitch??? I had Stan Lee on a quests and I tapped to see how much in clams it would cost to finish it. A 24 hour task said it would cost 2 clams. Now just because I was curious, I tried it. And surprisingly it worked.I don’t like to use clams but compared to everyone else tasks,this was cheap.Does anyone else have this, or is it a glitch?
Stan Lee 12 hour task 1 clam
Stan Lee 24 hour task 2 clam

Initially a bit disappointed with the random exchange rate. The “Random” generator was a random selection of one choice for me…. 3 harpoons of the same type – every time….. Still!
I spent time and clams to finish tasks early. Got enough harpoons to start on the 4th car quest. Triggered the quest and then got a full streak straight away. Got the bonus action set and thought I would go for the additional 25 harpoon kill. I reasoned that I would have enough time to get enough harpoons to finish the car quest….The screen went into cinematic mode and locked up – things still moved on screen but I couldn’t tap or do anything. I had to power down the device to get out – when I loaded it back up – no extra Blam, no extra count on the car quest – but it had taken my 25 harpoons…..Add losing items from The Multiplier because of crashes and it is becoming frustrating – Just trying to zoom out from the Griffin’s house when the game first loads is triggering a crash. All the usual troubleshooting has been done and I have sent a message to TinyCo. I only persevere because I’m, well, addicted 😉
On a brighter note, I have managed to get George T. I still have 110 clams. 350,000 coins and the bonus action set – Now all I need is a stable game and some extra land to put things

Does Ruperts box only happen once? Because I had more than 1 pesticide but I only opened it once and I’m at 3 out of 9 so I’m trying to see what will get me there the fastest

It takes 10 Pesticides to open 1. So if you used all you had, then the option is gone.

Yeah I am not sure the 30x streak is recording correctly. Is it me, or are Harpoons *far* tougher than Pesticides? It seemed like the previous quests were dropping more multiples. I think it’s going to be very difficult to get the 30x streak *and* the 9 in 4 days streak in the same window; I’ve had to use up 2 days of the 4 just to get to the 30, still need some more, and then probably will wait the 24 hours for the streak to break just so I can get the Harpoon need amount reset and try for the 9x.
I don’t suppose I’m missing any way to turn Blam! into Harpoons, right? There isn’t a building or something to buy? I have paid for every character and building’s Blam!, bought every building that costs Blam! beyond the quest ones (all the way through Fillion’s Maid Service), already got George Takei … and I have another 64 thousand Blam! sitting there. Not score, but leftover Blam! I would kill to be able to convert it into Harpoons or items for Multiplier.

And now for the 4th straight time, it needs the same @#@#$# Harpoon. I’m only 2/9 for the quest and I have to wait 24 hours to reset the timer to even stand a chance. I’m getting pretty annoyed at the construction of this one, and because you have to do all of the cars for the jet, it’s going to affect a lot … ;/

I just finished a day where I had Patrick, Bryan, Felicia all doing 4h quests for Harpoons, Captain Hammered, Red Hot and Blobulous do two sets of 2h quests. I’ve been setting my alarm ever two hours for my entire Saturday to maximize the quests. I now have over 40, 44 … and 5 Modern. I’ve earned 5 Modern in a 12 hour period. I’m going to reset my streak, and gods forbid I need them again after the reset.
They clearly didn’t do the math on this one.

Do we know if the bike will still be available if we deliberately do not start attacking (and triggering the challenge) until we have enough harpoons to guarantee the x30 streak for the movie set (and probably to then get the bike soon after? Will take me another 3 or 4 days to get 57 of each type.

It starts when you trigger it, so as long as you don’t you can. But…Peters Harpoon gathering task does help to start the trigger, so just be cautious.

I’ve read here and elsewhere when going for the movie set some are finding when attacking Giant Stewie after each reset the game requires the same type of harpoon. I’ve decided to wait until I have 59 of each should I encounter this as well.
Best of luck to all!

Odd. Did you check the inventory just in case it popped in there without notice? If so, Let TinyCo know. I will keep an eye out to see if others have same issues too.

Yeah, first thing I did was check the inventory just in case. But no luck. The task is still there too. I got in touch with TinyCo, but obviously I’m not expecting a response for a while.
I suspect the people who got it early have somehow shifted their surplus streak-rounds onto me, so I need to vanquish him 1035483 times in order to win the movie set.

I also had this problem. I got the 30x streak bonus at 20 harpoons and twice at 25 harpoons and nothing. No pop-up, and nothing in my inventory. I’m using Android. My husband got it on iOS after the 20 harpoon attack. He got a pop-up but did have to hard-close before it appeared in his inventory.

I would advise people to keep an eye out for the bike quest. I am sure that I didn’t have it right away when Giant Stewie changed. I probably didn’t finish a long period quest. So I was hoarding my harpoons, but not doing all the collecting quest for more (got caught up in the celebrity quests and the multiplier unlock). Now it has unlocked my stash was really inadequate (I think I got 3 hits before I needed more harpoons) and all my main characters are locked into long period quest so I am afraid I won’t get bike now.

It’s a big ask to get a 30 streak. I’v saved 30 of each and started to get the 9 for the trike. I presume their not going to change stu again to give you a chance.

If you keep hitting him…it will reset, just like I said in this post. You need to STOP attacking him and let the timer run out. Once it hits 0 it will restart back to 1X, just do not attack him at all during that 24 hours.

To follow up on Bunny, since it’s not immediately apparent, you don’t have to kill Demon Stewie once you have enough harpoons. The timer still runs, so you can let it reset to a lower required amount. Kill him in threes, as I suggested a ways up, and you only need to let it lapse twice.
1 2 3 lapse 4 5 6 lapse 7 8 9 success.
