Quahog Halloween Walkthrough: Week 1, I Ain’t Afraid of No Ghost

Hello There Clammers!

Halloween has arrived in Quahog!  And Peter, in typical Peter fashion, has decided to tick off the dead.  In doing so Peter accidentally opens a dark portal in the Quahog cemetery and unleashes all manner of ghosts and goblins on the city…your job is to help round up these ghost, goblins and ghouls!

Of course TinyCo has armed you with a fun questline to help rid the dead of Quahog (and in some cases raise it)!  By following along with the questline you’ll learn the ins and outs of how to succeed at Halloween, and send the dead packing!

Of course you all know we’ll be here every step of the way to give you that little extra insight and support throughout the update!  So let’s get things started with our quick walkthrough for Week 1 of Halloween…and prove “I Ain’t Afraid of No Ghost”…only big dogs 😉

  1. So if I understand correctly. If you have reached Fright Level 2 before the quest “I Ain’t Afraid of No Ghost Pt. 9”. you have to wait to complete the part of upgrading the Portel when you have 1000 points, basically level 3???

    If you are level 2, should the quest complete itself?

          • Two strategies you can do…either work well. Either collect all 30 bones you’ll need to do both the ball and zombie before you dig her up, then craft them once she’s up. OR craft both before you dig her up and then once she’s done she’s done. Either one works 🙂

  15. I thought i was gonna run into a similar problem, i was out of dogs to “bust”, when peter waS clearing the final dog. The next ghoul that was supposed to spawn from the portal, was ghost. But, like 20 seconds after busting the last dog, new dogs just spawned in my town, that was not triggered by the portal. So, this could also happen to you as well. I’m on an android, btw.

  16. Hi Bunny and Alissa

    I don’t really see much point rushing through things as it always seems long winded at the beginning but gets a lot easier later, however I’m slightly concerned how long the logo will will wait to start. I know the timer starts when it’s open but surely a weekly task will have a limit and I’m struggling with last bits for peter.

    Also and I hope this makes sense, it seems a couple of quests require clearing terror dogs. If you had 2 quests running would 1 terror dog count toward both quests. For example the logo and part 7 ‘ain’t afraid of no Ghost’.

  24. Not sure if I missed this in a post or comment but Slimer also drops terror dog bones. I’m assuming this means he will drop the future ‘jarred ghost items’ as well. My fragrance factory works on my tablet as well. Thats pretty much it for now 🙂 This event is awesome.

    Actually, I will say this: I have waaaaayyyy too many spirit vials with nothing to spend them on (because of the 700 clam item) but I’m sure that will be remedied with sweet ass things to come.

  26. I noticed an oddity where, if you’ve collected all the required items for Peter’s Ghostbusters costume but are missing spirit vials, it will cost you (at least?) 100 clams to “Buy it now!” It didn’t decrease as I got closer; at three vials away it was still asking for 100 clams. A friend playing beside me was 97 vials away, and the game wanted 100 clams too. As soon as I collected the last vials and started the costume creation I could speed it up for only 2 clams.

    Just wanted to say thanks for all you’re great work, I love this site! I’ve been a long time lurker and never posted as you’ve always already answered so many questions that I’ve had! I don’t like to be a moaner cos I know everyone – tinyco and yourselves work hard.
    I just wondered if anyone else has reported a similar problem to the one Patrick was describing. I’ve got the same issue, I’ve unlocked GB Peter have currently got 2 terror dogs in my town but no new ones are spawning, I watched the countdown timer in portal go down to zero on two occasions when it said 1 terror dog would spawn but nothing happened. I’ve left it closed my game cleared cache and still nothing. As I’m on the 3 day challenge am getting a little worried. I sent a ticket to tinyco but have never had a reply in the past as they must get thousands so am not holding my breath here either. Just wondered if you had any insight into this.
    Thanks again for all you do for us addicts 🙂

If I send characters on tasks and then close the app (always through ollie asking if I want to leave) then return later to collect, I lose all that progress.

  35. Thanks for the update, ladies. I think the terror dog zapping always drops a bone, though. It has for 8 straight zappings for me, anyway. The only thing that’s been a “chance” of a bone dropping has been the haunted house.

    Now we just need to figure out how the portal determines which creature it will release next, and how it determines the time until the release. I’ve had the times until the next release be all over the map, and ghosts being released while the timer was still hours from reaching zero.

        I have had card drop regularly, heck I got 2 out of my last round of actions (Bonnie literally NEVER drops ANYTHING, I think she resents all the time I keep her on the pole…)

        I wonder if there is some external issue with the drop rates being so varied. there might be something in how each different device generates its random numbers, making the same drop rate appear different across many different systems and installations.
        Or something equally out of left field.
