October is the month associated with the dark and magical things that inhabit the corners of our imaginations. The thoughts of the macabre and fantastical populate our minds for the evening that is all hallows eve.
Many a MMORPG have jumped on board to associate the month of October in game with their own spin on Halloween in game. The Elder Scrolls Online is no different with the Witches Festival, this seasonal update will include a menagerie of features to tickle your interest.
During this seasonal in-game event, players will be able to turn themselves and any member of their group into the Undead, gain a 100% XP boost, unlock event achievements, and have an increased chance to score spooky loot, including the Hollowjack motif, exclusive masks and more.
How to Join the Witches Festival
To join in the frightening festivities, players can visit the Crown Store to get their free Crow Caller, then blow into this baneful birdcall to have “The Witchmother’s Bargain” quest bestowed upon them. Completing the quest provides the Witchmother’s Whistle which can be used to summon The Witchmother‘s Cauldron. This bubbling bowl of toil and trouble will polymorph players, and anyone in their group, into the terrifying visage of an Undead creature. The polymorph will last for two hours, but players will be able to use it as many times as they like until the first day of Sun’s Dusk (November 1st).
While the Undead polymorph is active, killing boss monsters will provide the chance to loot Plunder Skulls. Opening a Plunder Skull will reveal special Witches Festival goodies, including masks (equipped in the hat slot), special holiday Provisioning recipes, the Hollowjack crafting motif, and more.
