That's not true. You can fight the pumpkin without completing the Colosseum. What you need to do is buy one egg and give it to the Arbiter in the main room. That will flag you to use the locked door in the hallway past Diemos. That door leads to a room with the Mad, Mad Cow, the Pumpkin King, and Thunder Chicken. Give your blanket to the statue and you'll be teleported into the boss fight.
Everyone in your group will need his own blanket, which indeed are no longer available. You are NOT permanently flagged by turning in the blanket and the quest is on a 3 month timer. You could try killing him solo, but you'll need more than a magic D rare. He spawns tentacles that have a nasty missile attack.

Very correct. I believe you are only flagged for 24 hours as well.
Yertle---- Bow/Life/Melee Spec with War Trained! Best Template Ever!!!


bring 3-4 friends... they all need blankets.


i think 24 hours is all you get. and unlike mad cow, you don't get the item back. so you get 1 shot per blue blanket. make it count.

So much easier to solo than to have a group. And forget about needing rares.
As an archer, when you're solo, the tentacles don't come out of the ground as long as you stay in the same spot that you portaled into. When the little pumpkins spawn, immediately kill them before resuming your attack on the king. They're the killers, not the King himself. Do that a dozen or so times and you've got it in the bag.

but i still think it's much easier with a group... the tentacles can either be killed or ignored (they run out of mana and just sit there after a while) and Yertle... i believe they respawn no matter what. so kill them all!
