Halloween Phase 2 Rundown (Updated and Complete)

Update 10/14: Just fully completed the rundown post, with images and details.  Everything you’ll need for the basics is there.  Including a few new decorations TinyCo just added.  Thanks for your patience guys! 🙂

UPDATE BUNNY 2:10 PM EST: TinyCo JUST pushed a fix for the Poltergeists issue. For those players on Fright Level 7 and above, it seems to have impacted the most. So give it a moment to load and you should be good to go. 🙂

They are also looking into the issue of Banshees. Waiting for clarification on spawn rates, etc. Will update once we have more details.

MORE INFO… Banshees should be spawning 2 every 3 hours for a max of 4 in your town at once.  So if you are not seeing them at this rate (you have to have Ghostbuster Quagmire to start to clear them and have them regenerate), please contact TinyCo.

UPDATE BUNNY: Sorry for the delay, was hurrying to get back to a signal so I could pass this on. We have already reported the issues with Predator not leveling up, Grey ghosts not droppin vials, and Poltergeists not counting that are impacting players.  Will update when we get anymore info on it. Our hopes is they can locate and fix issues soon. They are working on it.

UPDATE: We’ll be live tweeting through the event tonight….you can follow us on twitter @famguyaddicts

UPDATE..again….TinyCo has just announced American Dad with be the NEXT Event!!  Are YOU excited?!

Hello There Clammers!

We’re coming to you live from San Francisco!  Just before the start of the Tiny Hour Event and…TinyCo had dropped an update on us (would we expect anything less?)

Looks like phase 2 has hit and there’s a whole bunch of new goodies for us yup explore!  The portal can now be upgraded and there’s now latching poltergeist yup contend with!

We’ll be back with more as we can…it’s really hard to update from our phones.  But we’ll get all we can for you guys 🙂

Thanks for your patience and look forward to seeing some of you tonight!

UPDATE FROM BUNNY:

How do I see Phase 2 of the Halloween event?

You will need to upgrade your portal to the Poltergeist Portal in order to access Phase 2 of Ghostbusters: Quahog’s Halloween. Upgrading will require at least Fright Level 2.

What triggers the Ghostbusters Challenge 2?

When you upgrade your portal to the Poltergeist Portal, this will trigger “Ghostbuster Challenge 2: We Don’t Need No Stinkin’ Latchers.” This will require you to defeat 8 Poltergeist Latchers in 3 days to win the Ghostbuster Lockers.

What are the Poltergeists attached to my buildings?

When you upgrade your portal to the Poltergeist Portal, this will introduce a new ghostly creature into your town. Poltergeists will haunt Quahog’s buildings, making them too frightening to enter. Any character currently in the building will be trapped until the Poltergeist is cleared or moves to another building. 

How do I clear the Poltergeists?

Tap on the building with the attached Poltergeist to clear it. You will need to use Ghost Traps to capture the Poltergeists. Ghost Traps take 6 hours to recharge, and you can get traps from Diane Simmons or the shop to instantly recharge. 

Clearing a Poltergeist will reward Spirit Vials, XP and a chance for Poltergeist Talons and Colander Helmets.

What is the Poltergeists’ spawn rate?

A Poltergeist will spawn every 2.5 hours for a maximum of 3 in your town at a time. After 6 hours, the Poltergeist will move to a different building.

How do I unlock Ghostbuster Quagmire?

Ghostbuster Quagmire is available after you upgrade your portal to the Poltergeist Portal.

To unlock this costume, you will need the following items:

1,000 Spirit Vials

10 Ghost Condoms (rare) from Lois, Bonnie, Chris and the Goth Nightclub

10 Colander Helmets (rare) from Poltergeists, Ghostbusters HQ and Kamikaze Plane

15 PKE Meters (uncommon) from Mort, Quagmire, Bruce and Airplane Graveyard

If you unlock him, Ghostbuster Quagmire is yours to keep in the game permanently. You will have until the end of the entire Halloween event to unlock him, otherwise he will disappear from your game.

How do I get Banshee Tears?

In order to clear the Banshees and earn Banshee Tears, you will need to have the Ghostbuster Quagmire costume completed. Once complete, tap on the Banshees to clear them or start Quagmire’s action for “Zap Banshee” for your chance to collect Banshee Tears. You can also earn Banshee Tears from the Quahog Cannery and the Banshee Fountain.

How do I get the Predator?

The Predator will be available in the shop for 250 clams. He will zap Banshees and drop batteries to recharge the Ghost Traps.

That should tie yah over for a bit  ; )


Content info…finally!

Now that we’re back from our Trip to TinyCo I can finally sit down at my desk and put everything that Phase 2 Contained down for you guys.  We seriously appreciate how patient you guys have been over the last several days!  We have the best readers 🙂

  4. I have an issue with the Slutty Meg costume. I unlocked it before they pushed the fix for the poltergeists, and before the quest line for Meg that requires that you unlock the costume. Now, I’m on that quest line, and one of my tasks is to unlock the Slutty Meg costume… But it shows that it’s still locked, and I can’t unlock it… Even though I had unlocked it previously. Any ideas?

    Like

    • I would try a force close and/or restart device to see if it helps trigger it. Then tap on the task in the task menu bar again and see if it helps. Even try to go to Al’s and tap on her costume there too to see if it triggers it. Outside that, let them know if still same issue.

      Like

    • The lock on slutty Meg makes sense because once you have brewed her you shouldn’t want to attempt to brew that again. It might have caused a game error or players would accidentally brew it again and waste their items. It looks to me like the programmers did it to prevent any mishaps which probably would have lead to many many unnecessary tickets to tinyco.

  6. 1 thing I dot like about predator is Peter keeps making me send predator to do 8 hour traps whenever there’s a latcher. It sucks bc I was planning for the predator to do a 1 hour task while I commute to work and then the 8 hour task while I’m at work… But Peter keeps saying there’s a latcher and I can’t send this character that I bought with clams to do any other tasks. Ugh

  17. Do you need to manually upgrade the portal or is it done automatically if you have enough FP for level 2? I ask because I am on level and nearly on level 3. My portal says it is the poltergeist portal, yet ‘we don’t need no stinkin latchers’ has not begun?? I really don’t understand? I even have 12 ghost trap things, collected but no poltergeist latchers are in my town and no new challenge??

    • If you tap on the portal, you should see the animation turning it into the new one. If the number 3 is above it and it is a purpley color…then it is upgraded and you just need to follow the questline to start the launch of the new items.

    Hi TinyCo, Alissa and Bunny,

    We had an amazing time last night. It was such a delight to meet the creators of the game and learn how each person at TinyCo plays such an integral part in the making of the game – we loved speaking with all of them. Everyone at TinyCo is so passionate about what they do – it’s no wonder Family Guy Quest for Stuff is so successful. They are wonderful people. You can see they really love what they do and it shows in their game.

    We were thrilled to meet Alissa and Bunny of Family Guy Addicts. We finally got to put faces to those avatars. Both Alissa and Bunny are amazing. They are fun to hang with (I knew they would be) and they wow you with their knowledge of the game.

    Plus, I walked away with an awesome hoodie so – SCORE!

    Thanks for a great night!!
