There is no seasonal shape between Easter and Halloween. This time of year is called The Harrowing, and we try to avoid speaking of it.

But they were all deceived, for another egg was forged.

If you never invite help from online players, you never get invaded by them. I’ve been playing it online (with messages and bloodstains) for 100+ hours, and the only “invaders” I’ve dealt with are the scripted NPC ones the game includes occasionally. This will also let you leave helpful messages, which will give you…

Revisiting this after the game’s release, what gave me pause is that the Ranger powerup is introduced one stage before the shopping mall level, so barring an early trip to the hub village, you’re likely to bring a Kirby with a gun to a mall, where a lot of enemies are pointedly non-aggressive.
