The Sanctuary Ghost is the Wilderness boss of the 2026 Halloween event. It appears at a random spot in the Wilderness every 3 hours while the event runs. Many players can fight it together, and everyone who damages it gets a reward based on their damage: Halloween Tokens or Gold Pumpkins, and a chance at the Pet Sanctuary Ghost (2026).

Getting there

• Type ::ghost in game to teleport to it, or use the Teleport interface.
• Everyone is told 10, 5, 3 and 1 minutes before it spawns, and where. A jack-o'-lantern marks the spot before it appears.
• If nobody kills it, it leaves after 45 minutes.

It spawns at these times (server time):

02:45

05:45

08:45

11:45

14:45

17:45

20:45

Locations

It spawns at one of ten spots in the Wilderness, picked at random each time. The fight is always multi-combat, wherever it spawns.

Fight overview

• You need a combat level of 126 to attack it.
• It is not aggressive, but it attacks every player who has attacked it at the same time.
• It uses three attacks and switches to another one every 10 attacks:
  • Melee, max hit 35.
  • Crumble Undead (magic), max hit 35.
  • Ranged, max hit 35.
• It uses a protection prayer and changes it every minute, so check its overhead prayer.
• It gets stronger with every player who joins the fight. It has 5,000 hitpoints, plus 2,000 more for every player who attacks it. Its other combat levels rise by 1% for every player, up to +20%.
• It can't be poisoned or venomed.

Pumpkin rain

Now and then the ghost shouts "BOOOOO!!!" and pumpkins rain down. The shadows show where they will land: on its attackers and on random tiles around it. Anyone standing on a tile when a pumpkin lands takes 25–45 damage, so move off your tile when you see the shadow.

• The Halloween Ring, worn or in your inventory, keeps you safe from the falling pumpkins.
• Every pumpkin that falls stays on the ground as a Bronze, Silver or Gold Pumpkin, and anyone can pick it up.

Boosts

• The Jar of Dark Magic in your inventory boosts your accuracy and damage against the ghost by up to 20%, depending on the souls stored in it.
• With a Halloween Ring, your loot goes straight to your inventory.

Rewards

When the ghost dies, every player who damaged it gets loot based on the damage they dealt:

Damage dealt	Reward
Less than 500	7 Halloween Tokens per damage
500–1,999	6 Halloween Tokens per damage
2,000–3,499	8 Halloween Tokens per damage
3,500–4,999	3 Gold Pumpkins
5,000–6,999	4 Gold Pumpkins
7,000 or more	5 Gold Pumpkins

• Players who dealt 500 or more damage also have a 1/200 chance at the Pet Sanctuary Ghost (2026).
• With a Double Time scroll active you get your loot twice.
• The ghost counts towards a Lava Dragon Slayer task (called Witch/Lava Dragon during the event). On task, the kill gives 50,000 Slayer experience (before the Slayer XP boosts).
