Here’s how to summon a Wolf Mephisto Pumpkin from Diablo IV for Halloween

Calling everyone Diablo IV Adventurers and Halloween devotees! If you’re still thinking about a pumpkin masterpiece to show your wickedness to your neighbors, then why not create a Mephisto pumpkin? It’s a perfect combination of the eerie feel of Diablo IV: Vessel of Hate and the decorative joy of Halloween. Follow these instructions to construct a devilishly spooky centerpiece that would make any hellhound proud.

Materials you need

Before you descend into this hole of creativity, gather your demon summoning materials:

• A pumpkin: Harvested from the Fields of Mortal Souls or the local grocery store, whichever is closer.
• Acrylic paints and brushes: To apply these devilish details.
• Air dry clay: Because even the Lord of Hate needs a little structure.
• Faux fur patch: For that unruly beast look, far scarier than your unkempt morning hair.
• Superglue: Crucial for sticking almost anything. Who knew that crafting could also serve as a supernatural sticking test?
• Alcohol wipes: To sanctify the pumpkin from its mortal filth.

Step-by-step instructions

Step 1: Prepare

Disinfect your pumpkin with alcohol wipes. You never know what hellish remnants it harbors. A clean surface ensures that the clay and faux fur stick like a soul to a Faust bargain.

Step 2: Shapes

Press the Air Clay onto your sacrificial gourd, shaping the bony structures of the snout and skull that will peek out from beneath the injured skin. Keep an eye on your creation while the clay dries. Note that the clay will sag and bend when wet. So if you don’t want your Mephistopheles to turn into a doomed “blob fish,” it’s best to support your work-in-progress while it dries. Size can’t be rushed – make sure the clay has enough time to dry completely.

Pro tip: This is also a good time to use a marking tool (such as a toothpick) to precisely mark where your demonic symbols will be.

Step 3: Add Fur

Once your clay is completely dry, use superglue to attach some texture with faux fur patches. To make ears that scream “Hellhound” (or “Oh, look at that cute puppy”), glue two patches of fur together. Your pumpkin should start to resemble a lord of evil living inside a wolf!

Step 4: Painting

Time to paint! As the saying goes, the devil is in the details. So now you need your acrylic paints to add layers of terror. Paint demonic symbols, shadow those bone holes, and forge those hollow, soul-consuming black eyes. You may even want to spill some red paint to imitate a fine splatter of malevolent blood.

Optional Step 5: Additional Effects

For the brave and daring, you can carve small holes into the bone and eye area instead of painting them, adding even more devilish dimension. Place a candle inside to unleash flickering shadows worthy of a haunted crypt.
