Players are prompted to assist the Skeleton in performing mundane tasks which often include collecting items or confronting other NPCs affected by the mysterious happenings of Halloween.
Throughout the event, the Skeleton displays a range of animations typical of undead characters, such as spastic limb movements and unsettling shivers that heighten the horror atmosphere surrounding the quest.
Upon successful completion of the event, players are rewarded for their efforts with special items and cosmetic rewards that are exclusive to the Halloween event, further enhancing their in-game experience.
The Skeleton NPC not only serves as a vital source of information during the Halloween event but also contributes to the overall ambiance and lore of OSRS by immersing players in a theme that embraces the festive spirit while maintaining the characteristic charm of the game.
