The Witches Festival is returning to Tamriel this month! So, we’ve put together a brief guide on what to expect from the event.
The Witches Festival is a unique holiday in Tamriel that very much coincides with real-world Halloween. It canonically takes place on the 13th day of Frost Fall—the same date as Mephala’s summoning day. During this time, citizens are encouraged to face their fears, dress up in outrageous costumes, and hand out themed treats to children passing by. It’s not uncommon to find a barn door mysteriously left open or someone’s prized fountain filled with obnoxious color overnight.

In the Elder Scrolls Online (ESO), the developers have taken much of the same sentiment to heart. Instead of taking place on a single October day, however, they’ve designed the festival to run for the last couple weeks of the month—from Oct. 21 to Nov. 2. During this time, players can pick up the free “Witchmother’s Bargain” quest to gain access to a holiday buff and spectral appearance.
The following items will be collectible for the duration of the festival:
Players can earn each of these by slaughtering world bosses and retrieving the “Plunder Skull” holiday cache. This year, however, there’s a twist. The first time a player slays a specific boss during the festival, they will receive a “Dremora Plunder Skull” which may contain:
Additionally, a new quest has been added this year. Plucking the Crow tasks players with collecting 50 Cursed Feathers from their kills for Witchmother Taerma. Once collected a turned in, the Witchmother will turn them into an effigy that transports players to a secret realm with a brand new boss to fight.
Prepare for your first steps into the #Deadlands today!
The Deadlands Prologue is available now to all ESO players. To get started, head to the in-game Crown Store, and grab the free quest starter titled “An Apocalyptic Situation.”

There are 26 tickets to be earned in total this year which players can trade for the following items:
