The Rune is the reward for taking down Dracula as part of the Halloween Spotlight Event. In the game’s title screen, select the “Join Halloween Event” option to be redirected to the Halloween-specific section of the game. Here, you can join the match directly using the “Join Match” button and get started immediately.

There are two parts to the Halloween Spotlight Event: Transylvania and Sleepy Hollow. Transylvania is where you will encounter Dracula, with other Robloxians joining the fray. Since this is a cooperative effort, it is recommended to band together with friends to ensure everyone is on the same page.

A good strategy is to use the strengths of the chosen Class to improve the team’s overall performance. Melee players should engage the Count in close quarters, while ranged-focused Robloxians should land their shots from afar. Those playing a supportive role should try to keep away from the fray and help out their teammates as necessary.

If you’re a beginner, it may be better to rely on the Infantry Class to deal damage from afar. It is a well-balanced Class suitable for beginners, so you should have no trouble getting used to it.

Upon defeating the Transylvanian Count, you will receive the Rune, the Voivode badge, the Iron Stake, and the Voivode item. Additionally, you will unlock the Sleepy Hollow map, allowing you to challenge the Headless Horseman and defeat him for the Key.

This guide includes a list of Halloween Spotlight games and their respective objectives.

How to get the Key in Guts and Blackpowder

The Key is the reward for defeating the Headless Horseman, a formidable foe who is a recurring enemy in the game’s Halloween celebrations. This enemy possesses the ability to instantly kill a player, should they get too close to him.

To defeat him, the idea is to keep your distance and take your shots from a distance. If playing as a melee character, you may want to rely on others to distract the Headless Horseman while you land a few hits. It’s important to be careful while playing as a melee character; after all, the Headless Horseman can very quickly take you down. Consider playing as a Medic or Chaplain if none of the other players have chosen such support-type roles.

Once you defeat the Headless Horseman, you will receive the Key. In addition to the Key, you will get the Jack O’Lantern utility gear, along with the Saviour Complex badge.
