The Wild West Roblox Halloween 2026 Guide

The Wild West Halloween 2026 event Forgotten Regiment is an autumn questline where you brew ritual ink for the Bog Witch, defeat the Colonel boss in the Forest of Bones, and sacrifice a mount to unlock the Craig spectral horse.

How Do You Start the Forgotten Regiment Quest?

Demon Hunter Jane is the quest giver stationed inside the Buried Library who sets the event storyline in motion. Players can choose the Buried Library directly from the game spawn selection menu to begin immediately. Descend into the library halls to locate Jane, who explains that an undead commander known as the Colonel has arrived with a legion of spectral soldiers.

Jane directs you to seek out the Bog Witch residing in the swamp. The fastest overland route begins by resetting your character to spawn at Delores Ranch, mounting your horse, and riding south directly into the swamp wetlands. Follow the lanterns and posted signage until you locate the wooden cabin of the Bog Witch. Speaking with her unlocks the recipe required to brew the ink that unlocks the gateway to the underworld.

How Do You Brew Ritual Ink at the Witch Cauldron?

Ritual ink is the alchemical mixture required to activate the sealed altar inside the Buried Library catacombs. Creating this mixture requires gathering four specific ingredients from across the frontier map before combining them in the witch's boiling cauldron:

1. Red Mushroom: Gathered from the red fungus clusters growing outside the witch cabin in the swamp.
2. Raw Animal Meat: Acquired by hunting any wild animal, such as the alligators swimming through the swamp waters.
3. Lavender: Harvested from the purple flowering plants scattered across the terrain of Pinewood Hills.
4. Cursed Medallion: Looted from the bodies of spectral union soldiers patrolling near Ashburn Prison, the cemetery church, and the swamp borders.

Do not reset your character while collecting these raw materials, because basic foraging items and monster loot drop upon death. Return to the swamp cabin on horseback and drop all items into the cauldron to receive ritual ink. Unlike raw ingredients, ritual ink remains bound to your inventory and will not disappear if your character dies.

How Do You Beat the Colonel Boss?

The Colonel is an undead horseback commander defending the fortified grounds inside the Forest of Bones. After crafting the ink, respawn at the Buried Library and carry the container into the side chamber illuminated by green light. Pour the mixture onto the floor altar to activate the stone portal and step through into the revamped underworld canyon.

Follow the dirt trail toward the fort rather than entering any deep water hazards along the road. Setting down a camping tent right outside the fort walls provides an immediate respawn location if you fall in battle. The colonel boss fight involves several hazardous combat mechanics:

• Cannon Barrages: The Colonel whistles to call down explosive artillery strikes on targeted ground positions.
• Shockwave Slashes: The boss unleashes ranged energy waves and executes heavy swings using his cavalry cutlass.
• Reinforcement Waves: Crossing each segment marker on the boss health bar prompts the Colonel to summon groups of hostile undead soldiers.

Targeting the boss from range with high-tier rifles while dodging explosive artillery zones keeps incoming damage manageable. Defeating the Colonel rewards players with his cosmetic mustache, sideburns, and slouch hat. You can also pick up the spectral saber resting nearby on the battlements.

What Rewards Drop From the Fort Loot Chests?

Fort chests are three shared reward containers situated past the boss arena that yield currency, rare cosmetics, and crafting components. Every participant in the battle can open these chests individually without losing items to other players.

The loot pools contain monetary trade items including gold bars, white gold, and ornate rings that sell for substantial funds at bank merchants. Players also receive cursed medallions and three distinct gun parts: the shattered gun body, shattered gun blade, and shattered gun barrel. In addition to the Cursed Lyre and Raging Soul items, chests occasionally drop returning seasonal cosmetics, such as the Plague Doctor Mask, the Scornful Pumpkin head, and the Occult Lantern.

How Do You Get the Craig Spectral Horse?

Craig is a spectral steed transformed from a living mount sacrificed inside the exit portal circle after the Colonel falls. To trigger this transformation, ride a horse directly into the glowing circular ritual zone located beyond the boss fort.

Using an inexpensive donkey or basic mule is recommended for this ritual, because the sacrificed animal is permanently replaced by the event horse. Stepping onto the ritual seal immediately teleports your character outside the dungeon with the spectral horse named Craig. The steed presents a rotting zombie appearance during daylight hours and shifts into a glowing spectral form throughout the night. While transformed at night, Craig gains the movement speeds of a Mustang and cannot be harmed by conventional firearms, forcing opposing players to rely exclusively on special event weaponry.

Which Items Can You Buy at the Witch Shop?

The witch shop is an event merchant stall located at the swamp cabin that exchanges Cursed Medallions for exclusive gear. Defeating wandering soldier ghosts across the map supplies the currency needed to unlock these items:

• Free Magic Wand: A temporary event tool used for banishing rogue spirits that disappears once the Halloween festivities conclude.
• Occult Holster: A decorated leather weapon holster designed for sidearms.
• Spectral Lantern: A handheld light source casting a pale ghostly glow.
• Witch Costume: A seasonal clothing set complete with a pointed witch hat.
• Decorative Cauldron: A placeable camp item patterned after the swamp brewing pot.

The development team at Starboard Studios maintains regular live updates on the Roblox game page. Checking current promotional codes before setting out allows you to claim extra funds and starter equipment to prepare your character for the dangerous expedition into the swamp.
