Samhain is the Autumn event that falls between Beltane (Summer) and Yule (Winter). This event introduces the arrival of the Riders of Epona, and the Horsemen of Oblivion.
There are 4 Horsemen of Oblivion bosses this event. Each encounter is the same, but with more difficulty as the boss level gets higher. They come in 5* and 6* difficulties. The 5* Horsemen drop one item, and the 6* Horsement drop 3 items. See the map in the hat quest section below to see boss locations.

Osan Marach and his Horsemen of Oblivion used to be members of the Riders of Epona but were ticked by an evil sprite into giving their souls in return of everlasting life. However they quickly learned of the treachery and their souls were taken to Yoch Darach where they were conerted to become leaders of Donn's hoarde in Samhain.SEE THE MAP BELOW FOR EXACT SPAWN LOCATIONS!
