Halloween
A guide to haunted door locations required for the Halloween Huntin’, Trick of Treat bags opened, and Emissary of the Mad King achievements as part of the GW2 Halloween event.
Haunted Doors allow you to complete two Halloween related achievements in one go and also reward you with candy corns in the process. The candy corns can be consumed for your monthly achievements or used to power your Candy Powered Matter Meter for the Shadow of the Mad King scavenger hunt.
1.1 Halloween Huntin’ achievement
For the Halloween Huntin’ achievement, you have to chase down haunted door locations scattered around across multiple zones ) and kill monsters that they spawn. You will need to kill 150 monsters that spawn out of these doors to complete this achievement.Some haunted doors are a bit buggy and spawn monsters that disappear a second or two after spawning. Just move on if that is the case for you.
The best doors are those that spawn with an event requiring you to defeat multiple waves of plastic spiders or a veteran skeleton. These ones (especially plastic spiders) adds a lot to the Halloween Huntin’ achievement and rewards you with karma and coins at the same time.
1.2 Trick of Treat Bags opened achievement
Some haunted doors may not spawn monsters and instead drop a Trick or Treat bag for you. Monsters that spawn out of the Haunted doors also have a chance to drop Trick or Treat Bags. These bags will counts towards your Trick of Treat bags opened achievement.
The following scenarios can occur when opening haunted doors
Haunted Doors can be found in three zones: (Kessex Hills, Queensdale, Gendarran Fields).
2.1 Gendarran Fields
Brigantine Waypoint – 5-6 doors within viewing distance, short travel time between doors. Probably one of the best Haunted door farming spot!
Lionbridge Waypoint – Doors north, south, and east of the waypoint. Does require a bit more traveling.
2.2 Queensdale
Orchard Waypoint – Multiple Haunted doors west, east, south in the Shaemoor Fields area.

2.3 Kessex Hills
Overlord Waypoint on the west- multiple haunted doors to the south and east on the shore.

The plural form of corn is corn, not corns.
Xeepo
there is no plural form for corn, actually
Christopher Dexter
When referring to corn in the plural, you say “Ear’s/Cob’s/(etc.)’s of Corn,” not “Corns.” But when talking about the sweets, the individual pieces are called “Candy Corn,” making the plural form “Candy Corns”

Are these doors still spawning in the open world this year (2015)?\ I checked all the Queensdale locations on the map and found nothing.\ The only place I have seen the doors is in the Labyrinth.
