Unlike typical collectible quests, the Ravens in DTI's Halloween event present several unique challenges:
Before you begin your Raven hunt, ensure you're properly prepared:
The first Raven is arguably the most straightforward to locate, but it still presents its own unique challenges. This Raven can be found in the leftmost room of the Backstage area, which you'll naturally encounter after completing the initial cutscene in the center room.
After the cutscene ends, head to the room on your far left. This room is distinct from others due to its slightly darker lighting and the presence of stage equipment stored along the walls. You'll recognize it by the atmospheric Halloween decorations and the general backstage ambiance.
Once inside, look for a small opening on the left wall. It's easy to miss if you're not paying close attention – it's partially concealed behind a prop curtain and is approximately waist-high. The opening is designed to blend with the wall texture, making it a challenge for unobservant players.
Pro Tip: Walk along the left wall and interact with any curtains you see – one of them will move aside, revealing the entrance. Take your time to examine the wall carefully, as rushing can cause you to miss this crucial entry point.
Beyond the opening, you'll find a simple but tricky obstacle course (obby). Here's what to expect:
Advanced Strategy: The obstacle course can be frustrating if you fall. I recommend taking it slowly rather than rushing – the platforms are stable, but the gaps are wider than they appear. If you're having trouble, try adjusting your camera angle to get a better perspective on the jumping distances. Jump from the very edge of each platform rather than the middle for better success rates.
At the end of the obstacle course, you'll find the first Raven perched on a small pedestal. Approach it and interact to collect. You'll know it's the correct Raven by its blue eyes (decoy Ravens have red eyes).
Problem: I can't find the small opening in the wall.
Problem: I keep falling off the obstacle course.
Problem: The Raven disappears when I approach it.
The second Raven offers a bit more variety in its spawning behavior, making it both easier and potentially more confusing than the first. This Raven can appear in one of two locations near the main stage, adding an element of randomness to your search.
Unlike the first Raven, this one has two possible spawn locations:
The spawn appears to be random for each player, so you'll need to check both locations to find which one has the Raven in your instance. I've found that the Raven tends to spawn in the right side room approximately 70% of the time, so check there first. However, always verify both locations to be thorough.
If you're on the main stage area, make your way down to the floor level using the stairs or ramps at either end. Be careful not to rush, as the Halloween decorations can sometimes obscure your view of the pathways.
From floor level, look to the right side of the stage structure. You'll see a small, unassuming door that leads to a storage room. This room is characterized by:
Once inside, scan the room thoroughly. The Raven is typically perched on a high shelf or on top of a prop box. It may blend in with the shadows, so use your in-game light source if available. Remember to look for the blue eyes to confirm it's the correct Raven.
If the Raven isn't in the right side room, it will definitely be in the left side room:
Return to the main stage area and approach from the left side this time. The path may be slightly different due to the asymmetric stage design.
Similar to the right side, there's a door leading to a storage room. This room is slightly larger and contains different props, including what appears to be old costume pieces and theatrical equipment.
In this location, the Raven is often found on the floor or on a lower shelf, making it slightly easier to spot but potentially hidden among the props. Take your time to examine all surfaces and corners of the room.
The Raven's exact position within the room can vary slightly, so do a complete 360° scan before moving on. Use your camera to look at different angles and heights, as the Raven may be positioned in unexpected places. Don't forget to check behind props and under furniture, as the spawn locations can be quite creative.
Problem: I've checked both rooms but can't find the Raven.
Problem: The Raven appears but I can't interact with it.
Problem: I see a Raven but it has red eyes.
The third and final Raven presents the most significant challenge, requiring you to solve a puzzle involving several statues on an upper balcony. This location tests both your problem-solving skills and your attention to detail.
Look for a set of stairs leading upward from the main Backstage area. These stairs are often partially concealed by props and are located near the center of the area. They may be decorated with Halloween-themed elements, so pay attention to any stair-like structures amidst the decorations.
Ascend the stairs carefully – they can be narrow and sometimes have missing sections. The balcony area opens up to reveal a corridor with multiple statues. Take a moment to observe the area before proceeding with the puzzle.
The puzzle involves several statues positioned throughout the balcony corridor. Your objective is to make all statues face forward (toward the player/center of the room). This puzzle requires patience and attention to detail, as the statues must be positioned precisely.
Before interacting with any statues, take a moment to observe the entire balcony. Note how many statues there are and their current orientations. Typically, there are 5-7 statues arranged around the perimeter of the balcony area.
Walk around the corridor and interact with each statue. The interaction will cause them to rotate. Your goal is to have all statues facing the same direction – specifically, toward the center of the room where you first entered.
After positioning all statues, step back to the center of the balcony. If you've positioned them correctly, you should see all statues facing toward you from various angles around the room.
Once all statues are correctly positioned, the third Raven will spawn in the hands of the central statue (usually the largest or most ornate one). Approach this statue and interact to collect the final Raven.
I've discovered that the statues have a specific order in which they need to be turned. While the exact sequence can vary, starting with the statues farthest from the entrance and working your way toward the center seems to have the highest success rate. If the Raven doesn't spawn after positioning all statues, try adjusting one or two statues slightly.
Problem: The Raven isn't spawning after positioning all statues.
Problem: I can't reach some statues.
Problem: The statues keep resetting when I leave the area.
After collecting all three Ravens, you need to return them to their designated locations to progress in the quest. This redemption process is straightforward but crucial for advancing the storyline.
After collecting each Raven, make your way back to the central area where you first started the quest. This is typically where you'll find the cages or designated spots for placing the Ravens.
There are typically three cages arranged in a row. You'll need to place each Raven in its designated cage:
After placing each Raven, you should see a confirmation that it has been secured correctly. Once all three Ravens are in place, the quest will progress, and you'll gain access to the library area.
Problem: The cages won't accept my Ravens.
Problem: I placed all Ravens but nothing happened.
Based on extensive testing and community feedback, here are some additional insights:
Most players complete the Raven collection in 20-40 minutes. Raven Location 1 usually takes 5-10 minutes, Raven Location 2 takes 5-15 minutes due to spawn variations, and Raven Location 3 with the statue puzzle typically takes 10-15 minutes.
If you're stuck, try these solutions: check both possible spawn locations for Raven 2, ensure you're looking for blue-eyed Ravens (not red-eyed decoys), and for the statue puzzle, make sure all statues face exactly toward the center.
Yes, the quest can be completed solo, but it may take longer. Playing with friends can make it easier and more fun, as you can split up to search different areas.
The Ravens do not respawn once collected in your current session. However, if you leave the game and return, you may need to restart the quest from the beginning.
Completing the Raven collection is part of the larger Lina Storyline quest. Rewards include exclusive Halloween items, badges, and progression to the library area where additional content awaits.
Red-eyed Ravens are decoys that will speak when approached but cannot be collected for the quest. Only blue-eyed Ravens count toward your quest progress.
Currently, there are no specific items or power-ups designed to help locate Ravens. The quest is designed to test your exploration and puzzle-solving skills.
Ensure all statues are facing exactly toward the center of the room. Sometimes statues that appear correct may be slightly off. Try adjusting each statue slightly and verify they're all pointing to the same central point.
There's no official time limit, but some players report that quest progress may reset if you take too long or disconnect from the server. It's best to complete the quest in one session if possible.
Once completed, the Raven quest typically cannot be replayed in the same server instance. However, you may be able to start a new game or join a different server to experience it again.
Based on official announcements and patch notes, the Halloween quest was designed to be challenging but fair, with multiple difficulty levels to accommodate both new and experienced players.
