Hope you’re ready to trick or treat because the THOH XXVIII Halloween Event has arrived in Springfield! And boy do I have some TRICKS to help TREAT you to a big jump in the Event! One new aspect introduced in Act 3 of the Halloween Event is the Battle for Springfield.
Battle for Springfield:
So in this Act, similar to the secondary task of Beast Enchanters in all three Acts, you’ll be tasked with sending characters or beasts on a tertiary task. In this case it’s Battle for Springfield, where they will defeat Normal or Giant Lord Montymort.
From the Event Hub or in the top right of your screen, click on the Beast Tamer icon 
Battle of Springfield Characters and Beasts:
Battle of Springfield is initially a battle similar to Beast Enchanters, but with your characters battling Lord Montymort instead of beasts. This begins during The Vestige Pt. 1 task.
Characters that can battle Lord Montymort include:
- Wizard Lisa
- Wizard Bart
- Magic Act Milhouse
- GreyStash
- Wizard Martin
- Angelica Button
- Unicorn Wizard
- The Great Raymondo
- Sorcerer Wizard
In The Vestige Pt. 1, you battle Normal Lord Montymort who has 4 hearts (
| Damage | Characters | |
| 0.5 Heart | Wizard Lisa, Wizard Bart, Magic Act Milhouse, Unicorn Wizard, GreyStash | |
| 1 Heart | Wizard Martin, Angelica Button, the Great Raymondo, Sorcerer Frink |
Up to 4 characters can battle Normal Lord Montymort and you receive 50 event currency (Toad Prince 
Once your characters have defeated Normal Lord Montymort, Lord Montymort becomes a Giant and it is now up to your fully enchanted beasts to battle Lord Montymort in The Vestige Pt. 2 task.
Beasts that can battle Lord Montymort include:
- Kearneymon
- Wiggops
- Lewd
- Treestache
- Burns Dragon
- Crawl
- Bully-Vern
- Barfy
Note: Beasts must be fully Captured and Enchanted in order to battle Giant Lord Montymort.
In The Vestige Pt. 2, you battle Giant Lord Montymort who has 4 giant hearts (
| Damage | Characters | |
| 1 Giant Heart | Kearneymon, Lewd, Crawl, Bully-Vern, Barfy | |
| 1.5 Giant Hearts | Wiggops, Treestache, Burns Dragon |
Up to 2 beasts can battle Giant Lord Montymort and you receive 100 event currency (Toad Prince
Once your characters have defeated Giant Lord Montymort in The Vestige Pt. 2 task, Lord Montymort becomes idle for 4 hours and then alternates between Normal Lord Montymort and Giant Montymort in The Vestige Pt. 3. However, unlike Part 1 and 2 where they only have 4 hearts or 4 giant hearts, both Normal Lord Montymort and Giant Lord Montymort have 15 hearts and 15 giant hearts respectively in Part 3.
Once you’ve defeated both Normal and Giant Lord Montymort three times each in The Vestige Pt. 3, you will unlock Lord Montymort as a full playable character.
Update: So in Vestige Pt. 3, premium players will have to send characters 4 times to defeat Normal Lord Montymort the first time (16 hours) and beasts 5 times to defeat Giant Lord Montymort the first time (20 hours) for their first defeat of Lord Montymort, Lord Montymort than takes 4 hours to heal. Premium players will again have to send characters 4 times to defeat Normal Lord Montymort the second time (16 hours) and beasts 5 times to defeat Giant Lord Montymort the second time (20 hours) for their second defeat of Lord Montymort, Lord Montymort than takes 4 hours to heal again. Premium players will once more have to send characters 4 times to defeat Normal Lord Montymort the third time (16 hours) and beasts 5 times to defeat Giant Lord Montymort the third time (20 hours) for their third and final defeat of Lord Montymort, and will then unlock Lord Montymort (total 116 hours, or just under 5 days).
In contrast, freemium players will have to send characters 8 times to defeat Normal Lord Montymort the first time (32 hours) and beasts 8 times to defeat Giant Lord Montymort the first time (32 hours) for their first defeat of Lord Montymort, Lord Montymort than takes 4 hours to heal. Freemium players will again have to send characters 8 times to defeat Normal Lord Montymort the second time (32 hours) and beasts 8 times to defeat Giant Lord Montymort the second time (32 hours) for their second defeat of Lord Montymort, Lord Montymort than takes 4 hours to heal again. Freemium players will once more have to send characters 8 times to defeat Normal Lord Montymort the third time (32 hours) and beasts 8 times to defeat Giant Lord Montymort the third time (32 hours) for their third and final defeat of Lord Montymort, and will then unlock Lord Montymort (total 200 hours, or 8 and 1/3rd days ).
And yes, I know it’s actually a few hours (10%) less if you speed the tasks for free after 3 hours and 36 min, but I’m using 4 hours for the sake of simplicity
And that’s it my friends. A quick intro into the Battle for Springfield and unlocking Lord Montymort as a full playable character.
