See Dungeons for details of how dungeons work. The following weekend (Halloween itself), roblox experienced 2-3 days of shutdown, which resulted in no Dungeon for that weekend or the following weekend. The Dungeon came out the following week again and provided Dungeon Queen (Shadow Spirit) and Dungeon Queen (Nature Spirit) as the rare unit with blessings. For some reason players who didn't get the special variant did not receive a normal version of the unit. The first dungeon awarded winners a Pumpkin Capsule, and a random person who dealt damage to the final boss was also awarded a special variant of Dungeon Queen (Spirit), which has a white blessing in the shape of a fairy hovering. The second week into the event, the dungeon appeared on the Saturday at 8:30am for the European times, and then again at 5pm for the American time version. ![]() The second dungeon did not appear in the first week due to issues. In this way, the celebration of Halloween continues to change as new traditions join the oldest of the Celtic ones.Dungeon Type: Remain open for 30 minutes. Mexico celebrates the Day of the Dead from 31 October to 2 November and some of its traditions, like giving gifts of sugar skulls, are starting to mix with Halloween. Halloween is also celebrated in other countries, but it’s not as big as in the United States, even in the countries where the traditions began. Halloween has become the United States’ second-biggest commercial festival after Christmas. Going trick or treating is so popular that a quarter of the sweets for the year in the United States are sold for this one day. The Americans kept the tradition, but today children knock on people’s doors and ask for sweets. ‘Going a-souling’ was popular in England for hundreds of years until about the 1930s. It replaced the Celtic tradition of leaving food outside houses for the ghosts. When the church introduced All Souls Day, rich people gave poor people ‘soul cakes’, a small cake made with spices and raisins. This is another tradition that began in Europe, this time in England. That’s why Americans today wear all kinds of Halloween costumes and not just scary things like witches and ghosts like in other countries. In the late 19th century, people tried to make Halloween less about ghosts and religion and more about celebrating the season with a party for neighbours and family. When Irish people arrived, the harvest festival started to look more like Halloween and it became popular across the country. In early America, the Native Americans and the first Europeans celebrated the end of the harvest, but not Halloween. They hoped any ghosts they met would think they were ghosts too and would leave them alone. If they went outside after dark, they covered their faces with masks. The Celts were afraid of the ghosts that came on Samhain. Irish people who came to live in the United States in the 1800s found pumpkins much easier to carve, and the tradition became the one we see today. He played a trick on the devil and then had to walk the earth for all time as a punishment. It was sometimes called a jack-o’-lantern because of an Irish story about a man, Jack. ![]() The Celts carved faces into vegetables like turnips, potatoes and squash (a pumpkin is a kind of squash) to scare the ghosts and other spirits and make them go away. In AD 1000, the church added All Souls Day on 2 November, and All Hallows Eve – or Halloween – moved to the night of the 31st. ![]() In AD 609, the Catholic Church put the Christian celebration of All Saints Day on 1 November. People lit a big fire, wore special clothes made of animal skin and hoped to be safe from the ghosts and the winter. It was also the time for ghosts to return to earth for a day. Samhain was the Celtic New Year and they celebrated it on 1 November because that was the end of summer and harvest time (life) and the beginning of winter (death). The tradition of Halloween on 31 October comes from the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain. Americans and Canadians have adopted Halloween in a big way, but Halloween traditions actually come from 16th-century Ireland, Scotland and England. And if you think of a country that celebrates Halloween, you probably think of the United States first. If you think of Halloween, you probably think of scary carved pumpkins, all kinds of fancy dress and children asking for sweets.
