What's going on with Defeat Montymort?

It's going to be funny on here after the event finishes if EA gives Montymort to all players for free.

This is the closest I've come to not finishing an event in time. I finally got the Count yesterday and I hope to get Montymort tonight sometime. This was terrible. I wouldn't have minded coming close to the end to finish if the event was fun, but it wasn't. It was boring. The endless defeating of the Montymort was sooooo boring. They have to come up with a new game mechanic. The sending the same handful of characters to "fight" for 4hrs over and over again isn't fun. At least with the superhero villains, there was a chance you could lose a battle, you had to take a minute and strategize what order to send your opponents in. But this was just dull. Endless monorail was the only reason I remembered to even log in.

I think I would have preferred a return of the wheel... or dare I say it? Baskets, eggs, and bunnies. At least it wasn't dull.

If you have finished vestige part 5 and have him thats it, you have him. His unlock quest can be done at any time. You could even save it for next year if that tickles you.
BUT it sounds like you are still on vestige part 4. You might still have time tomorrow, after the end time, to finish up. The "take down" server update usually doesn't happen right away. That's just a guess though. It might even be possible to turn off automatic updates on your device and keep working on Montymort for a few days past the end date.

So, I failed. I failed hard.
Please someone tell me why this Montymort thing was the way it was? Wasn't it a crazy out-of-proportion quest? If you got the prizes, you got 4 full playable characters just by collecting toads (Unicorn, Greystache, Slithers, Dracula). And they make you work this hard for the 5th one? What is the point?
I have been doing this for long days, and I am still on 1/3 (a miracle, really). There's two rounds of battles in each part, each can be multiple days long, especially if you have no premium beasts, and then there's a recovery session for Montymort? Not to mention the "warm-up" rounds in the beginning of the quest, when they had to defeat him while he was not at full health. Why make it this hard and long? Why so many rounds? It just makes this unfair, boring, and too damn long. I am very dissapointed.

Also, I finished the prizes almost a week ago, I collected thousands of toads and not a single free donut came. Thanks...
I don't think a working person with an actual job can play more than I do. How on Earth does EA build this logic?

EA, you messed this up.

Well it's gone past the finish time and I'm able to carry on fighting for now, but will it stop when the enchanters finish the current battle, or will it let me carry on further.... I'm at 2/3 with about 1hr and two more rounds of enchanting to go... so if it let's me continue, I'm not updating, but when do they force updates...hmmm...

I think you will be able to finish. There's always a bit more time left after the event ends, and you're really close.
I have no chance, I am doing it for goblin gold because I want another academy courtyard :)

I got the montymort a couple of hours ago rushed the last heart for 2ds.

I act 3 I only lost half a day due to EA update issues. There was only a couple of times I let having a life take priority and even play in the small hours a couple of times.

I think they made getting the montymort too hard.

This was a strategy to get people to spend real money. It wasn't a mistake or miscalculation.

I just got him!!! Yeahhhh

But the counter isn't working

I have now defeated him 4 times 2 times with the kids and 2 times with the monsters and the counter is still saying 0/3 so don't think it is working will see if it completes after the 3ed time round if not it will just have to sit there till the take down.
