The Elder Scrolls Online: Take Part In Tamriel’s First Ever Halloween Event
Surprisingly, since The Elder Scrolls Online was released in 2014, the good citizens of Tamriel have never had a holiday event. ZeniMax changes things up this year with The Witches Festival, a Halloween event that will run from the 13th of Frost Fall (that’s October 13th in normal speak) until the 1st of Sun’s Dusk (November 1st). Here’s how players can take part in the festivities:
“To join in the frightening festivities, visit the Crown Store to get your free Crow Caller, then blow into this baneful birdcall to have “The Witchmother's Bargain" quest bestowed upon you. Complete the quest to receive the Witchmother's Whistle and use it to summon The Witchmother's Cauldron. This bubbling bowl of toil and trouble will polymorph you, and anyone in your group, into the terrifying visage of an Undead creature. The polymorph will last for two hours, but you'll be able to use it as many times as you like until the first day of Sun's Dusk (November 1st).
While the Undead polymorph is active, killing boss monsters will give you the chance to loot Plunder Skulls. Opening a Plunder Skull will reveal special Witches Festival goodies, including masks (equipped in your hat slot), special holiday Provisioning recipes, the Hollowjack crafting motif, and more!”
Once the Halloween event is over, the Witchmother’s Whistle will lose its power but can still be kept as a souvenir of Tamriel’s first-ever holiday event. Hopefully, they’re cooking up something just as cool for Christmas.
In case you’ve missed it, the One Tamriel update just went live last week. Watch the update trailer below or check out The Elder Scrolls Online official site for the full announcement.
