| Introduction |
Hello there, Ghost Hunter! You’re here just in time. The name is Hans, Wizard Hans. Okay, well it’s actually Ghost Hunter, but I am a wizard at science! Did you see the gumball machine? Gabe, Riley, and I made it together. | |
| #1
Gumball 3000 |
If you run some errands for me, Ghost Hunter, I’ll tell you more about them. I may even let you try a few! I’ll also give you a pretty neat set of Gumballs if you help me with all my tasks. Ghost Hunter Gabe, Ghost Hunter Riley, and I used to all work together in the lab. You know, before it was overrun by ghosts. After the ghosts showed up, I decided to change careers. Science and wizardry are pretty much the same thing anyway. But yeah, the three of us invented this recipe. It’s pretty cool. The gumballs enhance your skills. If you want to see the gumballs in action, I’ll need you to collect some items. I’ve got a reward ready for you once you're back. So hurry back, okay? |
Sweet! Now where did I put that reward? Here it is! There’s a lot more where that came from... That is, if you keep helping me. |
| #2
Blowing Bubbles |
You seem pretty excited to try the gumballs. Understandable! You'll need to use the gumball machine in Area 51. You’ll get a pretty sweet reward when you come back. After you’ve finished your tasks of course. Don’t just leave and come back. I can’t give you anything if you just come to talk. |
You’re back! And you’ve got the gumball! Excellent. I guess you’re looking for your reward now. Here you go! |
| #3
Special Recipe |
Gabe asked me to brew a special gumball just for you. Seems like he must really like you. Anyway, to do that, I'll need you to collect some items. The faster you collect the stuff, the sooner you get to see my extra special recipe! You know how to play the game. Come back for your reward. |
Thanks for all the ingredients, Ghost Hunter! Nice, these are really good quality! What? Oh! Yeah, here’s your reward. Sorry about that, Ghost Hunter |
| #4
Riley’s Ring |
Oh, Ghost Hunter! I can’t find my ring! I don’t know where it is! I can’t believe I lost it. Ghost Hunter Riley gave me that ring before she disappeared! What? It’s not a small ring. That’s crazy talk! I meant a red ring! Please find the red ring and jump through it, Ghost Hunter. I’ll give you that gumball thing I was telling you about as a reward if you can find the ring. |
Thank you so much! I’m so scatterbrained! I thought it was gone-gone, Ghost Hunter. There were quite a few of us at the Area 51 lab, and I keep in contact with everyone. Everyone except for Ghost Hunter Riley. No one has seen her in a long time... Anyway! Thanks for finding this! Here’s your reward! |
| #5
Hop, hop, hop! |
Just a few more tasks until you get my special set of Gumballs! Now... Just like I promised! My extra special recipe: The Bunny Gumball! It was always Ghost Hunter Gabe's favorite. It makes you bounce really high. He used it to reach the top shelf at the lab. Anyway, enough talking about it. Try the bunny gum, Ghost Hunter! And let me know how it tastes, I don't remember what it tastes like! I'll even give reward since you'll be helping me improve the recipe! |
Welcome back! How was it?
Really? Blueberries and salmon? I don't remember it tasting like that at all! How was the bouncing? Excellent! Thanks for all the research. Here, take your reward. |
| #6
Gumball the Gathering |
I’m making more gumballs. Someone’s got to keep the machine stocked! I sent out a message to my old coworkers. We’ve decided to continue our research. Because of that, you’ll likely see more gumball machines pop up. Maybe you’ll meet some of my old friends. Hey, maybe you’ll run into Ghost Hunter Riley. Anyway, I’m trying to make gumballs, but I’m out of ingredients. Collect some items. I’ve got a pretty sweet reward lined up for you, so hurry back! |
Hello again! I’ve got your reward right here. Ta-da! And thanks! |
| #7
Candy Collector |
Hey, I haven’t made gumballs in a long time. I’ve filled the machine, but I need someone to test them. You’re the perfect hunter to do so! Ghost hunter, get 10 gumballs if you can. As always, a reward is here just waiting for you. |
Excellent! Now you can test the gumballs over time! Thanks for all your help, here’s your reward. |
| #8
Gumboss |
I’ve only got one more task for you, Ghost Hunter. The ultimate gumball task! Are you ready for it? Your task is... Drumroll please. Use a gumball AND fight the boss. Got it, Ghost Hunter? Not only will it be useful information, but it will also be pretty fun! For you. Of course. And a little bit for me. Fun for everyone! But yeah, this is my last task for you, so I prepared a super cool reward this time. Hurry back! |
You did it. I knew you could! You were using the gumballs after all. It seems like this is the end of our partnership. That’s okay though. Look on the bright side: I gained a new friend AND loyal gumball customer. And you? You earned your reward! Good luck, Ghost Hunter! And happy chewing! |

Introduction |
Long time no see, Ghost Hunter! I’d be surprised if you even remember my name!
It is I, n[Wizard Hans], reporting for duty! Science is my name and magic is my game! What do you think? Too much? I’ll work on it. Now, we have more important matters at hand! The event cod has been having some...technical issues and I have been sent here to- investigate it! And well, I could use your help, Hunter. Catching ghosts is not for me really.. All the running around and ghosts trying to steal your gadgets, dirtying screens...OH boy... A super duper awesome pet will await you if you help! Please? Yes? Splendid | |
| #1
Elementary, my dear Warlock! |
Every good detective needs a great assistant. Just think of Shellshock Tomes!
His Halloween Mystery Cases were my favorite! You could be Dr. Warlock! Now, my dear Warlock! We must begin our research into the unstable code by- Experimenting on the local ghosts! MUAHAHAH- Sorry! Might have gotten carried away. But we will have to study them therefore I need you to vacuum up some of those ghosts! |
Fantastic work, dear Warlock! These little guys reek of glitches which is, not so fantastic.. Do have your reward though. There is still a lot to do! |
| #2
Octal 31 and Decimal 25 |
This world is even more erratic than I thought. I have wanted to visit the Haunted Mansion-
for a while but not like this! The textures glitch out, the ghosts are all volatile, the code is- is almost breaking! I could have sworn I saw some snowflakes flying around! It doesn’t make sense! Why would the programmers mix up Christmas and Halloween?! I mean it’s probably because Oct 31 == Dec 25 but still! Not like this! Hunter, I need you to gather some more ghosts. Their code could give us a clue! |
Perfect! The more subjects to scan and experiment the better! Have your reward. |
| #3
Back-up drive |
I never really did tell you why I am here, have I? Riley should have been instead. The Associates have gotten a lot of danger alerts about this buggy code spreading around. As always, Riley would have been the one to check it out, to ensure it’s safe but... Oh, Hunter! She just looks so drained of her spark! Ever since those pesky Remnants have- showed up, she barely has time to breathe! I wanted to aid her somehow. So, I offered to come, maybe ease her load a little...And perhaps we could spend time toge- OH! My camera picked up a weird signal! Vacuum those ghosts up, it’s from them! |
Buggy little guys...I’ll run a scan over them with my goggles. Have a reward! |
| #4
Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves |
I have to admit, Hunter. I have not been a great friend to Riley.
I stayed very far away from that odd Remnant Zone. I am not even a sworn-in Associate. I just don’t like what’s brewing up there. And I thought, perhaps I could make it up to her now. Riley is just so kind and loving and wants to help everyone! The world could use more- people like her. And not...cowards like me who refuse to fight. I owe her some help. That’s why we are here now! So let’s focus on our case by jumping through a ring. |
Riley gifted me a ring once. It was so beautiful and it smelled like strawberries! Rings are a great way to determine code balance. It’s still not up to par...Have a reward. |
| #5
Enemy Spawn Error |
Ever since the battle in the Void, I have continuously worked on improving AoF’s tech. It felt outdated. Speaking of, I hope you like my new equipment, thermal goggles with- modified scanners and this beauty of a camera. What? It’s not over the top! Besides, it’s my first time out on the field! I wanted to be prepared for anything! Also, a pair of hand prosthetics I have coming up would be amazing for extra hunting! I- D-Did you see those ghosts glitching out over there? Go vacuum them]</span for me real quick. |
How bizarre! They look like they have been melted together by the game! The lines of code are intertwining with each other...Fascinating! O-Oh have your reward! |
| #6
Currencies and Curiosities |
These ghosts are getting wackier by the day! I managed to separate those little guys- But the way their codes fused together was so unnatural! The instability, no doubt, is behind it. I am not certain what could have caused such a phenomena... I want to record it happening! It seems to be random so it might take me a bit. Let’s split up! Not great for a horror movie... But I want to see if this oddity only affects ghosts. So try obtaining candy instead! |
The candies look normal enough...Still a bit wet from the ectoplasm but otherwise fine. Hmm. Nothing unusual...Maybe it’s just the ghosts then. Right! Forgot your reward! |
| #7
Object-Oriented Programming |
Hunter, the candy is not okay! I repeat, the candy is NOT okay! I swear on all terabytes of my computer, they glitched into EGGS for a second! I don’t know how far this corruption spreads! It’s on ghosts, the environment, even the candy! So let’s try not to touch anything for now, maybe we should return with a hazmat suit or- HEY! THAT’S MY WIZARD CAP! That little terror just ran away with my cap! Ohh EWW! Its ghost hands are all glitchy! Hunter, forget what I said, can you find my cap? |
Why is it a BASEBALL CAP instead of my WIZARD one!? The textures are all...WACK! So, the corruption spreads faster on objects...Good to know. Have a reward. |
| #8
Overcomplicating simplicity |
I sent a part of our report over to Luna. She picked up the phone instead of Riley sadly. N-Not that I have anything against Luna! I just...miss chatting with Riley like we used to. Back to our case! We have gathered quite a bit of info on this unstable corrupted energy but- there is still no trace as to where it’s all coming from! This just won’t do, dear Hunter! Not when Riley is relying on me to help! We need more evidence! So, let’s go back to basics! I need you to vacuum up some more ghosts but from elsewhere! |
Alright, so it’s spreading beyond the main area...That’s worrying.. We need to act fast to see if we could stop it but first, your reward, soon the pet as well!. |
| #9
Jinkies! My gum! |
Luna called me back! She said she had not seen anything like this the last time she- was here! The Haunted Mansion had always had a rather abnormal energy to it. Nothing like this though! The game is struggling to load the code for this world... But why? Why is it blending with others or glitching? First the ghosts then the candy then the- *GASP* You don’t think it meddled with my precious gum, do you?! Noo! I only just finished the Halloween flavors! Could you craft some gum for me to check? |
Great Gigabytes! It’s all ruined! It has bits of code flying off! Oh. You can have a reward... |
| #10
Possession and Connection |
I crossed out on my journal, ghosts, currency, terrain and tragically gum, as affected. I sent the list with some extra recordings and scanner readings to Luna and- Oh! By the way, do you know anything about a lady named Victoria? Luna asked me if I’ve seen her and to ask her if she was feeling any better but- I haven’t seen anyone other than you and I. Think Luna didn’t sleep again? Maybe. Regardless, we still have work to do. Could you unbox some pets? I want to scan them. |
These little guys don’t have as much corruption thankfully. Though I did see another- one of those combined concoctions jump out of a crate and run for the hills... I should probably go catch it! Please, have your reward! |
| #11
Missing. File Corrupted. |
Luna keeps insisting there should be a person here named Victoria. Apparently they are close friends and last time this Victoria was not feeling great. In other words, the world is all wack and now we have a missing person case on our hands Splendid, couldn’t have been better! Why did I agree to this...Whyyy? No, no, no- Hans, you are doing this for Riley! Get it together! Okay. Hunter, we are on the lookout. I have a worrying signal coming from the mansion and I need you to defeat the Tower |
The camera recorded a...person trapped inside the Headless Hallow...T-That’s impossible. This can’t be...but it must...It must be Victoria. I-I have to call Luna ASAP. (You find a key on the ground) |
| #12
Amalgation and deprivation |
Riley answered the call. I told her and it’s not looking pretty, Hunter. She asked me to try and resolve it before Luna finds out. We don’t know how she will- react to the news...She only just started getting her life on track and now this...Poor thing. O-Okay, focus! We will need to get back in there and try to get a proper scan of that- Amalgamation! Try to see just how did the Hallow fuse to Victoria and separate them! For that you will need better equipment. Perhaps, getting a new hoverboard would help? |
The speed will make dodging easier therefore less of a chance for my fine camera to be- destroyed! Thank goodness! And yes, you can have a reward! |
| #13
Questions with no answers |
I succeeded in modifying my goggles a bit. I will be able to run some more in depth scans- on Victoria and see her current state. Last time I was not even sure if she was conscious. But now, this will tell us what happened to her and frankly why the Hallow looked- so...destroyed? I have never seen a Mega Boss that battered before. He should be healed. So what happened to him? What is he doing to her? We won’t know unless we test the- scanners again to make sure they function. So, how about you vacuum some ghosts? |
They work perfectly. It showed the damaged code inside the affected ghosts. We will be able to help them in no time! Please, have your reward |
| #14
Eliminate the Impossible |
I ran some extra checks and readings and it’s as clear as binary that the sudden instability is- caused by their synthesis! The game cannot comprehend their combined codes... It couldn’t with the ghosts either but it’s easier to separate a ghost from a ghost than- A person from a boss. The ghosts were combined only on a physical level but I feel- as though with Hallow and Victoria that won’t be the case. It’s far more complex. If we want to see how we can fix everything we will need a close look and as much- evidence as possible! Therefore, I want you to defeat the Tower again just to be sure! |
T-That’s not...them. It’s a copy. The game is trying to spawn in the Hallow but- It’s just a copy...Then where...Where are they? Where is Victoria? Embedded in the code? Is that monster keeping her trapped? How can we help her if it’s not...them? We can’t. We will have to tell Luna. Oh, Riley I am sorry, you were trying to protect her. |
