==Accomplishment of the quest's requirements==
In order to move forward at the Darkrai quest, you need to be [[Sinnoh]] Champion, have 100+ hours of playtime, complete the first part of Halloween quest and defeat [[Kaguya]] boss. It is recommended to have 6 100 Level Pokemon in your party, to not struggle against the questline's NPCs. 

===Murky Town and the beginning of the quest===
Murky Town is an event map which firstly opened during Halloween 2017. It can be accessed by talking to '''Mummy Pharais''' in various ports, namely [[Vermilion City]], [[Olivine City]], [[Slateport City]] and [[Canalave City]], however this required being the Champion of the region the player is in. This brings the player to Murky Town. When speaking to Mummy Pharais again, he will return the player to the city he/she originally came from. At the port, specify your gender to the two gatekeepers, which will affect the dialogues henceforth. In Murky Town, interact with every character for "Trick or Treat?", which will acquire you Halloween Candy. The use of them will be made known later on. 

===Vice Mayor Butch and the second part===
After entering Murky Town, interact with '''Vice Mayor Butch''' at the beach of the city. He will ask you to confront one of the mayors from the two sides which are currently in conflict, Mayor Camelia of '''Serenia Village''' and Mayor Vlad of '''Dreadtown'''. Your decision will affect the storyline, but does not differ regarding rewards. From there, you move towards Ghoul Swamp. After trying to reach the end of the map, 3 ghosts will stop you. Your mission is to find 3 good spirits amongst 9 in total. Beware that some of the spirits are evil and will attack you. Also, there are hidden items in the map, ready to be collected (for the full list, check the picture below). When you have successfully completed this quest, they will let you move towards Unison Mountain South Summit. West from the Pokecenter located there lies Angel Hill, after which Serenia Village is located and Mayor Camelia as well. East from the Pokecenter, the player will find Howling Woods and after that Dreadtown will be accessible. Both Angel Hill and Howling Woods have a gatekeeper, named '''Fairy Grande''' and '''Werewolf Goku''' respectively, both of who will ask for 5 Halloween Candies to enter their town.

Master Ball is advised, to be sure about the outcome.
