Hey. There's a 3rd small mission that you can take from the female Santa Soldier after you complete Villain with Gun and Villain with Staff. It only shows up on the list after you have completed the first two. It's Villain with Sword. About the same difficulty. The mission objective is to beat Adelina, who spawns skeleton warriors which you have to defeat because it gives her immunity. She also spawns the other two villains. Reward was 3 Coins.
ReplyDeleteAlso for the quest for delivering presents, there are more possible children than those 3. I've also found Gabriel near the Grenmah Arcade works and the girl standing in line for Andre works as well.
You are right. I just saw the 3rd hidden mission from the Japan's event article. I will update it later when I try the mission myself. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteAdded links to Japan's event.
sGE is also having the same event. anyway the info here will help a lot, the rewards are the same, and most likely the rules and monsters will also be the same.
