ZeniMax Online Studios has officially announced “Battle for the Writhing Wall,” a massive, one-time community-driven event in The Elder Scrolls Online, inviting players to unite and bring down the ominous Writhing Wall.

This limited-time event for The Elder Scrolls Online is part of the ongoing “Seasons of the Worm Cult” saga and offers a unique opportunity to shape the game world while unlocking exclusive rewards.

The Elder Scrolls Online – A Server-Wide War Begins

Kicking off on October 13, 2025, the event challenges players across all platforms and regions to collaborate in a three-phase battle against the sinister Worm Cult. The goal is to tear down the Writhing Wall and gain access to Eastern Solstice, a previously locked region brimming with new quests, lore, and loot.

Players can join the fray by visiting Skordo the Knife at either the Stirk Fellowship Camp or the Sunport Rampart Camp. Daily quests from NPCs like Orinde Glenuvon, Quartermaster Nurwalne, and General Zasimba will fuel the war effort, with each completed task pushing the server closer to victory.

Three Phases of Conflict

The event unfolds in three escalating stages:

• Phase 1: Supply and Defense – All players can contribute by completing daily quests and fending off cultist incursions across Tamriel.
• Phase 2: The Assault Begins – The battle intensifies with more frequent and challenging encounters, including the appearance of the world boss Ghishzor.
• Phase 3: Fall of the Writhing Wall – Once unlocked, players with the 2025 Content Pass can storm the Writhing Fortress. Completing it unlocks Eastern Solstice and concludes the event one week later.

Exclusive Rewards and Golden Pursuits

Participants can earn Writhing Reward Coffers, which may contain rare collectibles like the Wormwrithe Bear-Lizard mount, Wormwrithe Haj-Mota pet, and the Caltrops, Bone Skill Style. Completing the Writhing Fortress also grants the coveted “Wall Breaker” title.

Additionally, the Golden Pursuits campaign runs alongside the event, offering even more incentives for those who rise to the challenge.
