For years, people have had superstitions about the old pumpkin patch near the trailer park. The Madahândo brothers have both seen strange flashes in the fog and heard unnerving laughter coming from something large and evil. Townsfolk think it's an Indian curse, but the brothers deny it and claim it has nothing to do with their people.

Report
Dragon
What you have witnessed, again, is what happens when great talent and application is left in the hands of the inept. If Henderson had followed the path of the Dragon, none of this calamity would have ever happened, and his notable powers would have been put to use for the greater good.
Instead we saw a master of curse and chaos left to rot in the reckless palms of the Illuminati.
It's a sad affair, but one that has already run its course. Attempting to change that course after the fact is nothing short of futile. We must focus on changing events that are still in motion.

Illuminati
Handing in your time sheet on this thing is going to put up red flags with the accountants. Your "results-per-hour-spent" curve is taking a serious dive with this guy. Can I trust this is the last time I see this Jack-in-the-Box pop up in your reports?
Silver lining? At the very least you've seen what can be achieved with a strong focus and proper training.
Say what you will about Henderson, but the man did know his way around curses. And his ability to hold a grudge is an inspiration to us all.

While I applaud your inquisitive nature, I would be remiss not to question the wisdom of time spent in repetition.
If we were any closer to finding the true nature of Henderson's curse and the cause of its astonishing efficiency, this whole thing might have been a worthwhile endeavour.
Alas, it seems old Archibald took those secrets to his grave. Or they're hiding in an Illuminati archive somewhere.

Tier 1/5
- Find the old pumkpin patch
Tier 2/5
- Search the pumpkin patch and clear it of evil
- You'll have to kill two Blue Mountain Effigy
- Jack O'Lantern will appear in the patch. You will fight him, but he will run off before being defeated
Tier 3/5
- Find Jack O'Lantern's new hideout
- Defeat Jack O'Lantern
- You'll have to clear out a few Blue Mountain Effigy to get into the middle of the patch where he appears
- Again he will run off before being defeated this time he will spawn a Patchkeeper and Custodian upon doing so
Tier 4/5
- Find Jack O'Lantern's new hideout
- Circle around a bit to avoid most of the Ak'ab in the area rather than going straight-line there
- Defeat Jack O'Lantern
- Again, clear out a few Blue Mountain Effigy
- And, again Jack runs, this time leaving behind a Verminous King
Tier 5/5
- Find Jack O'Lantern's new hideout
- This time he doesn't automatically appear in the pumpkin patch, but as a pile of something next to the patch, that must be "used"
- You probably want to clear out the Blue Mountain Effigy from the pumpkin patch first so they don't come alive during the fight
- Defeat Jack O'Lantern
