Halloween Creatures in Age of Egypt

Denwen was released last week as a Creature who could be won in the Mystic Pyramid Shuffle game.  Now we have the Lycan of Giza, who can be bred in ordinary fashion using Jackal and Human.  Breeding time is 1 day, 12 hours.

At the same time, there are special seasonal Creatures in the Underground.  One of these is Djinni, an entirely new Creature and the other is the Egyptian Bat, from a previous year but brought back to us for the season.

Both Creatures are breedable so long as they appear in the Market.

Djinni is bred from Ha and Scorpion with a breeding time of 2 days.

The Egyptian Bat is bred from Ha and Bennu and has a breeding time of 1 day.

The Creatures of Olympus Game has some seasonal Creatures as well.  Two of these were promotional purchases in the form of the Sinner Goat and now, Count Dracula.  In these cases, you must purchase the Creature within a 24 hour period.  Once purchased, you should be able to clone it, but you will not be able to breed an original.

The Sinner Goat is an older Creature, Goat and Eagle who can abide in either of those Habitats.  Count Dracula is a Royal Creature who only can be placed in the Royal Habitat.

The other Halloween Creatures ARE breedable by ordinary methods.  Two are in Hades and the other is in the Water World.

The Hades Creatures are the Wolf of Macedon and the Nightmare Horse.  The Wolf of Macedon is bred from Wolf and Kobalos with a breeding time of 1 day and 11 hours.  The Nightmare Horse is from a previous year and is a Fire Creature bred from Bird and Wolf with a breeding time of 2 days

Kelpie is the Creature for the Water World, bred from Octopus and Seahorse with a breeding time of 2 days and 8 hours.

How to Breed a Seasonal Creature without meeting Level Requirements
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

This option does require an investment in premium Cash (Diamonds) but one would hope not as many as if one were to purchase the seasonal Creature outright.

Some Seasonal Creatures, like the Lycan of Giza, do not require very high levels for the player as he is bred from Jackal and Human and neither Habitat requires a high level of Experience in the game.  In other cases, however, as in the case of the Halloween Underground Creatures this year in the form of Djinni and the Egyptian Bat, both of whom are bred from Ha, you need to be at Level 45 in order to unlock the Ha Habitat.

How then can you hope to obtain either of these Creatures if your Level is lower unless you spend 750 Diamonds for the Egyptian Bat or 1100 Diamonds for Djinni?  Well, there is a way...  but only if you have unlocked the habitat for the OTHER half of the breeding equation.

Djinni is bred from Ha and Scorpion.  The Egyptian Bat is bred from Ha and Bennu.  If you are willing to spend a few hundred Diamonds, you can purchase the least expensive Creature that has Ha as half of the equation and then try to breed these Creatures.  You will have a better chance of success if the Creature is Ha and Scorpion or Ha and Bennu but even if it is Ha with a Creature that is not part of the Djinni or Egyptian Bat equations, you may be able to obtain the Halloween Creatures.

An example for this particular exercise would be Mathayus priced at 450 Diamonds.  He is Scorpion and Ha, like Djinni.  Buy him, place him in the Scorpion Habitat and then pair him with a Scorpion to try to obtain Djinni... or having placed him in the Scorpion Habitat, you then can pair him with Bennu to try to obtain the Egyptian Bat.  The problem with the latter pair is that it could create a Creature that is Bennu and Scorpion rather than Bennu and Ha.

Note that Frismos gives a grace period to farmers for seasonal Creatures.  In other words, you should have to the end of the week to be able to breed one.  Results always are random, however, within the group created by the same pairing.

Denwen, new Seasonal Creature in Mystic Pyramid Shuffle




A new creature appeared today in the Mystic Pyramid.  For those who have gone through the entire sequence, it will be avaialbe in the Shuffle game immediately.  For those who still have other creatures to win, it will appear in the last chamber.

It is Denwen, who inhabits the Vizier habitat when obtained.   Denwen will vanish in a puff of black smoke while bats circle the area, then reappear.  Quite a draamatic addition to Egypt!

Please note that a comprehensive breeding list for Egypt and one for Creatures of Olympus are found in the tabs above every post on this site, including this one.

Comprehensive Breeding Lists for Age of Pyramids and Creatures of Olympus

Visitors to this site have missed the actual Breeding Lists for Age of Pyramids and Creatures of Olympus, probably because they are not familiar with sites hosted by Google.  The comprehensive Breeding Lists for both games are to be found in tabs that appear ABOVE every post.  Look above this post and you will see both game lists.  Much of the information was logged originally by players of these games and I am indebted in particular to Julie Tobako, aka Aeriawyn.  There is an excellent global forum in Age of Pyramids where players exchange information and you usually can find some one who has succeeded in breeding a new Creature.  There is no such forum in Olympus, however, making a Breeding List much more significant.  The only reason my site may be preferable to the Wikias is because I refuse to allow advertising on my sites.  This allows any user to access my information quickly and easily, whatever the age of his/her computer or tablet.
