Start teleporting 2 new spirits to your kingdom by selecting “Show Me”. Click the teleportation machine as you did before and place two more down.
Quest rewards
- 3250 Coins

Below is an example of the screen you will see after a week’s time has passed and you are ready to measure the strength of your halloween spirits:
Let’s continue to teleport the spirits. Each one helped is another one safe from Faugrimm. There are many out there – thanks for all you’ve done to assist the spirit world thus far!
