A Universal Time (AUT) has unleashed Update 5.5, marking the thrilling return of the Halloween Event. The key to unlocking all the exclusive, time-limited rewards this year is Candy. This special currency is your ticket to rolling the Halloween crates for rare skins and effects. If you’re wondering how to efficiently gather as much Candy as possible, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know.
How the AUT Halloween 2025 Event Works
The core loop of the Halloween Event is straightforward:
Farm Candy by defeating special enemies.
Exchange Candy for Universal Essence (uE).
Spend uE to roll Halloween Crates for exclusive limited-time items.
Your primary goal should be to collect as much Candy as you can before the event ends.
Where to Find and Farm Candy
All Candy farming takes place in a special event location.
Location: The Cathedral
How to Get There: Go to West Park and find the NPC named Bawx. Speak to him, and he will teleport you directly to the Cathedral.
Once inside the Cathedral, you can start farming Candy from two main sources: regular Halloween enemies and the Raid Boss.
1. Farming from Halloween Enemies
The Cathedral is populated with special Halloween-themed enemies. Defeating them is the most consistent way to build your Candy stash. The drop system works as follows:
Green Candy: 25% drop chance.
White Candy: 100% drop chance if the enemy does not drop a Green Candy.
This means every enemy you defeat is guaranteed to drop either a Green or a White Candy.
2. Farming from the Raid Boss: Hollow
A powerful Raid Boss named Hollow spawns in the Cathedral every hour. Defeating Hollow is crucial for obtaining rare Candy and items. Here are the potential drops from Hollow:
Green Candy: 90% chance
Purple Candy: 10% chance
Cursed Apple: 50% chance
Pumpkin: 10% chance
Pro Tip: To be eligible for loot from Hollow, you must contribute to the fight. Furthermore, any player who deals at least 10% damage to the boss will be rewarded with the exclusive “Grimharrow” title.
How to Exchange Candy for Rewards
After collecting a substantial amount of Candy, it’s time to cash it in.
Return to West Park.
Find the NPC called The Sigma of Halloween.
Interact with this NPC to exchange your collected Green, White, and Purple Candy for Universal Essence (uE).
Once you have uE, you can use it to roll on the Halloween Crates and hopefully obtain the event’s exclusive skins and effects.
Best Strategies for Fast Candy Farming
To maximize your Candy per hour, follow these efficient strategies:
Use a High-Damage Stand/Ability: The faster you kill enemies, the more Candy you collect. Equip a Stand or ability with high Area-of-Effect (AoE) or single-target damage to clear the Cathedral quickly.
Farm in Private or Low-Population Servers: Fewer players mean less competition for enemy spawns. This ensures a steady stream of Halloween enemies for you to defeat without having to wait for respawns or fight others for kills.
Collaborate on the Hollow Boss: Always be ready for the Hollow spawn. Team up with other players to take it down faster. Dealing enough damage for the “Grimharrow” title and the chance at Purple Candy is a top priority.
Server Hop if Necessary: If the Cathedral becomes too crowded or enemy spawns feel slow, don’t hesitate to switch to a new server to refresh the area.
Play During Off-Peak Hours: Farming late at night or early in the morning (in your timezone) can often lead to emptier servers and a more efficient grinding experience.

A: The event is accessible to all players who can reach West Park. However, having a stronger Stand will significantly increase your farming speed and your ability to contribute to the Hollow boss fight.
