Brief context:
In 2023, ghost sightings skyrocketed across the dream world prompting a mission into the Quartier Fantôme- the ghost district! This is the region in the dream world where human souls descend to upon death and a lot of them were let loose! It turns out that our notorious fugitive, Francis, tried to assemble an army of ghosts, but failed. On a team with Almoral, Finnegan, Eliazar and Kodia, we tried to help him bring all the spirits back home, but there was a twist...
Before starting: This quest is only available during the 2023 and 2024 Halloween parties! It may run outside of the season, so keep an eye out for when it does.
Step 1: When you arrive, be sure to talk to Finnegan to get a summary of why you're there. Once finished, go through the large glowing door behind Finn and Eliazar.
Step 2: Once inside, go up and talk to Almoral. He will provide additional context. Once finished, jump into the box portal that's on the right.

Step 4: You'll arrive at the Graveyard, but wait! Ghosts! Not to worry, they are friendly! Talk to the spirit whose name is Rigor. He'll explain he's with his sister, Morticia, looking for help. They will be accompanying you all on this mission.
Step 5: Once finished, head into the glowing tombstone that takes you down to the Quartier Fantôme. Note: This will teleport you to an external map to the next area.
Step 6: You'll arrive to the Quartier Fantôme and land in a swamp. Ahead of you, there are four tunnels. The number of pumpkins at each part tell you what tunnel to go into. Since there are two pumpkins here, go into the second tunnel hole. Note: If you make a mistake, you will appear in a part alongside Almoral.
Step 7: When you reach Kodia, head into the third tunnel.
Step 8: When you reach Finn and Eli, head into the first tunnel.
Step 9: When you reach Rigor and Morticia, head into the fourth tunnel.
Step 10: You'll now be in the residential area of the Quartier Fantôme, but hold on... it's Francis! Talk to Francis and he'll explain what went wrong with his plan and what to do next. Once finished, head to the glowing tunnel entrance by Rigor and Morticia.
Step 11: You'll now be in the main area of the Quartier Fantôme. Talk to Francis again for a recap and then head to the residential area again. Rigor will be next to this entrance.
Step 12: Head up to the purple fountain and click/tap on the water. You'll receive a Purple Liquid Bucket item in your inventory. Head back to the main area.
Step 13: Equip the Purple Liquid Bucket and head over to the forest area. Kodia will be next to this entrance. Be sure to have the item equipped as you approach the entrance.
Step 14: Upon reaching the forest area, walk ahead and take a left turn. Keep following the path until you reach a pink fountain. Head up to the pink fountain and click/tap on the water. You'll receive a Pink Liquid Bucket item in your inventory. Head back to the main area.
Step 15: Equip the Pink Liquid Bucket and head over to the park area. Finn and Eli will be standing next to this entrance. Be sure to have the item equipped as you approach the entrance.

Step 17: Equip the Blue Liquid Bucket and head back to the residential area. Make a right turn and approach the blue lights by another tunnel. Use the bucket to enter the other side of the residential area.
Step 18: Head up to the red fountain and click/tap on the water. You'll receive a Red Liquid Bucket item in your inventory. Head back to the main area. Note: You may have to re-equip the Blue Liquid Bucket to exit this part of the residential area.
Step 19: Head back to the forest area and take the right path this time. You'll even reach a gate at the end of it. Make sure to equip the Red Liquid Bucket to move past it. Note: You may have to re-equip the Purple Liquid Bucket to re-enter the forest area.
Step 20: Head up to the green fountain and click/tap on the water. You'll receive a Green Liquid Bucket item in your inventory. Head back to the main area. Note: You may have to re-equip the Red Liquid Bucket to exit out of the green fountain area.
Step 21: Head over to the cemetery entrance where Almoral is standing next to. Be sure to equip the Green Liquid Bucket upon approaching this tunnel.
Step 22: Once you reach the cemetery, collect one last bucket of colored water. You'll get the Orange Liquid Bucket and use it on the gate up ahead.
Step 23: Talk to Francis once again and it's time to use the buckets you've collected on the machine! Head to the gate behind him to continue. Note: This will teleport you to an external single-player map portion of the quest.
Step 24: In this area, you'll reach the machine Francis used to summon the spirits he let loose. You're going to need to boot up the machine manually. Take notice of the underlined words on the board next to the machine. When you think you have the command code, type it in the Roblox chat. If correct, the machine will light up successfully. Move on to the next part by passing the gate up ahead.
Step 25: Oh no! Francis tricked everyone and he got away! Bummer. It seems Almoral may have a plan up his sleeve though. Head back out to the cemetery by going through the gate.
Step 26: Upon reaching the cemetery, talk to Rigor. Almoral will then explain that he can use his necromancer powers to help bring all the spirits back home!
Step 27: Once back in the main area, talk to the gang once again. You'll notice that there are spirits roaming the streets now! You bid your farewells to Rigor and Morticia as the mission is declared a success. Head back to Almoral's mansion by walking into the portal at the end of the street. Note: This will teleport you to an external multi-player map.
Step 28: Once back in Almoral's mansion, talk to the gang. While the mission was declared a success, Finn reveals it was also a plan to get Francis' DNA! Finn explains how he managed to snatch some of Francis' DNA and explains this was really the reason he tagged along a part from bringing all the spirits back home. Once done, Almoral is waiting for you outside. Head back out through the large glowing door.
Step 29: Head down to the gate entrance and talk to Almoral. What a way to spend your Halloween! Almoral will give you some information of miscellaenous topics and bid you farewell.

Step 30: Congratuations on completing Operation: Resurrection! To head back to the main game, walk into the glowing orange portal that takes you back to Biz Mart.
Notes:
This quest is exclusive to the 2023 Halloween Party. However, it made an appearance during the 2024 Anniversary and Halloween parties.
This particular event that Francis caused did not actually affect the dream world in a negative way, unlike most of the other times.
While Finnegan has the power to arrest criminals because he is a 'chief' in the DPF, he is unable to do that in the Quartier Fantôme as the DPF has no jurisdiction in this region. This explains why he did not arrest Francis then and there.
The quest is significant because it allowed the DPF to finally obtain DNA for Francis and put it in their database.
The main area of the Quartier Fantôme is inspired by New Orlean's French Quarter neighborhood.
The cemetery area of the Quartier Fantôme and at Almoral's mansion are inspired by Mexico's 'Day of the Dead' celebrations.
Lucid was originally going to appear in the forest area of the Quartier Fantôme watching from a distance, but this idea was scrapped at the last minute.
This quest was delayed by about four days because a Roblox update messed with specific mechanics vital to the storyline and ended up breaking them. Because of this, the plot was slightly changed to incorporate new mechanics.
SPOILER: The command code to run at the machine area is: " run machine backup.exe "
The 'life after death' badge allows access to the Quartier Fantôme outside of the Halloween season. It can be accessed through Almoral's mansion.
The 'Bat Artifact' badge allows access to Almoral's mansion at any point in the year. It can be accessed through the Campfire dimension in the secret Backrooms area.
