The Hightowers: Similar to the Hightowers in the Hightower map.Note: If you're having trouble with finding the locations listed here, you can scroll down to the Helpful overview section to see their exact position marked on the map. The team that manages to make it to Skull Island and lower the gate around the book wins the match, even if they lost the Payload race. Instead, killed players turn into maneuverable ghosts. The team that successfully pushed their cart to the end receive a noticeable Overheal buff as both teams are to fight over winning a prize upon Skull Island an Unfilled Fancy Spellbook.Īt this point, the game turns into a short Arena match, with no respawns. On first arrival, all players appear on separate sides of a small area surrounded by lava (along with a short dance-off). While the initial push to the end works like a regular Payload race on Hightower, once a team has pushed their corpse to the end, the screen flashes white as all players are transported to what is believed to be Hell. Players who survived the bridge crossing may pick up the Rare Magic Spell at the Cliff House and be returned instantly to their own spawn with an Overheal and a brief speed boost.Īt the start of the second Witching Hour and every second hour after that, the Green Skeleton King and 5 Skeletons appear and begin chasing the nearest players. Clockworks clunk loudly within the tower, increasing in rate to warn players of the end of the Witching Hour.ĭuring each witching hour, many Magic Spells spawn all over the open areas of the map and two Bridges open over the Lava pit to the Cliff House. Clocktower bells ring announcing the Witching Hour. Every 2 minutes and 25 seconds, the Witching Hour runs for 40 seconds. It occurs every time the minute hand on the Clocktower reaches 12 and lasts while the minute hand steps backwards around back to 12 again. The Witching Hour is a timed-event feature introduced in Helltower. Note: This map was originally released with Haunted Halloween Gifts spawning on the map during Halloween Events this feature was replaced with Soul Gargoyles in Scream Fortress 2015. During Halloween Events, picking up a Soul Gargoyle scores the player 10 additional collected souls. Only the player for which the Soul Gargoyle has spawned sees the notifications or the Pickup. The first notification of the Soul Gargoyle is vocally announced to the player by Merasmus, and repeated notifications may appear until the player grabs the Pickup or it disappears. Soul Gargoyles spawn on the map for each player individually during game play. Players that survive and reach the book receive an Unfilled Fancy Spellbook, if they do not already possess one in their backpack, which must be filled with Spellbook Pages in order to become usable. Pressing primary-fire or using a voice command as a ghost causes the player to yell "BOO", which can be used to annoy living players but serves little other purpose. Any player killed in Hell becomes a Ghost and can pursue the living players however, ghosts have no way to deal any damage. In Hell, the teams spawn on opposite sides of a ruined tower and must make their way to the spellbook on Skull Island while avoiding enemy fire and spells and falling into the lava.
Once either brother is pushed to the checkpoint, all players are sent to Hell. At the beginning of the round each team's employer requests or demands that the team send their corpse (the other team's employer) to Hell. The objective is to push a cart of gravel containing the corpse of the opposing team's employer (Blutarch for RED, Redmond for BLU) to the lift at the high towers before the other team, all while the brothers' spirits shout general insults ( announcements) at the players. Occasionally, the Soul Gargoyle spawns for randomly selected players on the server to find and pick up.
Players who own a Spell Book may equip it and be able to pick up and cast the many Magic Spells that appear on this map. It is the Halloween-themed version of Hightower. Helltower is a Payload Race map added in the Scream Fortress 2013 Update. Helltower has multiple variations, including Payload Race.
