Just in time for Halloween comes The Elder Scrolls Online’s brand new holiday event, The Witches Festival, which will run until the end of the month. Tamriel is the centre of the festivities where anyone can gather in secret locations throughout the host land. Tasks will be assigned to the adventurers with exciting loot and achievements for motivation.
The event is entirely free to join. All you have to do is go into the Crown Store, purchase the free Crow Caller. Use the item and an old witch will appear in a cloud of crows. After speaking with her, The Witchmother’s Bargain quest will be assigned to you. Achieve this, and you will gain the Witchmother’s Whistle - use it to summon The Witchmother’s Cauldron. Just like Polyjuice, this potion will polymorph you and your group into the Undead. The potion lasts two hours, but its uses are infinite until the event ends, so you have nothing to worry about.
While apparently Undead, the event focuses on defeating boss monsters for loot, some of which is exclusive to the event. These items include masks, special Halloween Provisioning recipes, and the Hollowjack crafting motif. Yet more is unlisted, so go find out what the rest are on your adventures!
Keep in mind that just like Cinderella’s ball, the event will end and so will the polymorph that allows you to fight the monsters. All you will have left is the Witchmother’s Whistle and whatever loot you managed to gather.
