ESO's Battle for the Writhing Wall Community Event: The Complete Guide

Writhing Wall Event has started on October 13, 2025, and finishes when your megaserver breaches the wall

The Battle for the Writhing Wall is a massive, server-wide community event in The Elder Scrolls Online. Starting October 13, 2025, your actions directly contribute to its progression, culminating in the permanent unlocking of the new Eastern Solstice zone for your entire megaserver! This guide explains how to participate, progress through each phase, and earn unique rewards.  

Keep in mind that this is not a typical in-game festival. The Writhing Wall event does not grant Event Tickets or feature an Impresario or other Event Merchants. Instead, it's a unique, lore-focused effort where the community works together to push back the encroaching Worm Cult.  

What is the Writhing Wall Event?

The Writhing Wall is a, live event that's part of the Seasons of the Worm Cult storyline. It continues until the community breaches the wall, permanently opening up the Eastern Solstice zone. You can check your server's progress at any time in the Group & Activity Finder.  

Do you need the ESO 2025 Content Pass to participate?

No! While the 2025 Content Pass is required to access most of the Solstice zone and complete achievements, base game players can still participate and earn Writhing reward coffers. Your contributions on Stirk Island directly help the war effort and count toward your server's progress.

Writhing Wall Event Phases 1-3 explained simply

Rewards from Achievements

Phase 1: Setting Up & Supplying Your Camps

In Phase 1 you can take part in the intro quest, Prince Azah's story quest, four types of war effort supply and defense quests and Siege Camp World Events

Writhing Wall Event Daily Quests and Siege camps

During the Battle for the Writhing Wall Phase 1, you'll focus on completing four types of daily quests to aid the war effort. While the three main daily quest givers can be found in both Solstice and Stirk, General Zasimba is exclusively located at the Solstice Fellowship Camp.

Each daily quest you complete rewards you with a Writhing Reward Coffer. You can complete these dailies multiple times per day on each of your characters.

  1. Quartermaster Nurwalnes Daily Quest: Assist the Quartermaster by killing various enemies to gather essential supplies, such as: fats, furs, sap, and essences.
  2. Orinde Glenuvon's Daily Quest: Help Orinde by killing Worm Cult members and looting Vitrified Souls from their bodies.

Quick Tips for Collection daily Quests

General Tips to Speed Up Writhing Wall Dailies

  • Ignore Misleading Map Markers: The blue circles basically mark over-farmed areas. Quest items drop from the correct enemy types anywhere in the specified zones. Find a quiet area with high mob density instead.
  • Group Up for Faster Drops: Form a small group. Resources for collection quests are shared among group members.
  • Share the quests: You can share the quest you have with your group members, Vitrified Souls quest being the only exception (Vitrified souls still shares progress though)

Completing the Vitrified Souls Quest (Orinde Glenuvon)

  • Combine with Siege Camp quest (Content Pass): You can gather the 15 souls needed by simply destroying the Siege Camps.
  • Farm Coldharbour: Kill Daedra anywhere in the Coldharbour zone.
  • Dungeons & Public Dungeons: The best way to avoid competition is to enter an instance. The Village of the Lost Public Dungeon and Vaults of Madness Dungeons are packed with Daedra.
  • Vitrified Souls drop in any zone and Dark Anchors from the following creatures: Clannfear, Coldharbour Watchers, Coldharbour Flame Atronachs, Harvesters, Xivkyn, Xivilai, Grievous Twilight, Coldharbour Scamps, Dremora, Coldharbour Voidmothers, Coldharbour Shades, Shackled Titans, Death Hounds, Daedroth, Winged Twilights, Ogrim, Armored Ogrim, and Worm Cultists  

Completing the Gathering Supplies Quest (Quartermaster Nurwalne)

  • Skip the quest: Since this quest shares a Golden Coffer with the Vitrified Souls quest, you can skip it all together if you want.
  • Farm in other Locations: Items drop from the specific monster type anywhere in the appointed zones, not just inside the circled areas (including Delves and Public Dungeons).
  • Creature Fat drops from Guar, Kagouti, Trolls, and Alit in any Ebonheart Pact zone.
  • Lightweight Furs drop from furred creatures in any Aldmeri Dominion zone (includes senches, wolves, bats, and mammoths).
  • Undead Essences drop from undead creatures in any Daggerfall Covenant zone (includes skeletons, zombies, vampires, liches, and bloodfiends).
  • Golden Sap drops from plant and water creatures in all zones (includes Lurchers, Spriggans, Spriggan Beasts, Nereids, and Stranglers).  

Worm Cult Invasion in Tamriel

Worm Cult Members have temporarily invaded existing delves and public dungeons around Tamriel, marked by a blue glow on the map icon. Killing them advances your servers progression.

This also means you can not kill the regular bosses in these delves until the Writhing Wall Event Concludes. However, Antiquity leads that drop from delve bosses, will drop from the Worm Cult Field Marshals.

Phase 2: The Assault Begins

Six additional Crafting Daily quests will become available from Armorer Reistaff in Western Solstice and Stirk. Siege Camps will increase in difficulty and multiple will be active at the same time. A new World Boss Ghishzor appears.

A New Maldrith World Boss Emerges: Ghishzor

In Phase 2 of the Writhing Wall Event, a new world boss called Ghishzor will appear on the Solstice map. Killing the boss advances your megaservers progress bar. This boss is only available for players that own the 2025 Content Pass

Phase 3: The Assault on the Writhing Fortress

This stronghold of the Worm Cult is designed to test your teamwork and coordination. You need to work with other players to defeat daedric enemies and destroy the Soul Tower that powers the barrier blocking your access to the Eastern Solstice zone.

You will share progress on the Fortress instance with other players, allowing you to either start from the beginning or join an ongoing fight. While the Writhing Fortress can be completed multiple times, the associated quest can only be done once per character.

The Writhing Fortress is available for one week (7 days) after it has been cleared for the first time on your megaserver.

How to Start the Writhing Fortress Assault

Once your server has progressed through the first two phases, the final assault on the Writhing Fortress begins. To join the fight:

  • Travel to Solstice Rampart Camp: This camp is located just outside Sunport in the Solstice zone.
  • Speak with Skordo the Knife: He will provide you with the quest for this phase, "Crossing the Wall." 
  • Enter the Portal: A blue portal will appear at the base of the Writhing Wall, which is your entry point to the fortress instance.

ESO Writhing Fortress: Challenges & How to Beat Them

This instance is designed for multiple players, and attempting it solo is nearly impossible. While a small, coordinated group of four players can make progress, a group of 12 or more will make the experience significantly easier and faster.

Magical Barriers & How to Break Them

Throughout the fortress, your path will be blocked by powerful magical barriers. These must be destroyed to advance deeper into the Worm Cult's stronghold. 

  • How to Destroy Barriers: Bring down these barriers using siege weapons.
  • Siege Weapon Mechanics: Before you can fire a ballista, you need to repair it. Look for barrels of spare parts scattered nearby or pick the parts from dead Daedra (green circle on the ground). Interact with the barrels and then use the parts on the broken ballista to get it ready for use.
  • Destroying Crystal Pylons: Aim the ballista at the pylon and shoot. You don't need to hit the actual crystal, hitting any part of the structure works.

Writhing Fortress Bosses & Mechanics

An overview of the Writhing Fortress in ESO, covering its core bosses and their main mechanics. 

Western Boss Fight: The Harvester Guuffetarez 

  • The Mechanic: Guuffetarez is protected by colored wards that must be destroyed using corresponding siege weapons. 
  • Pickup spare Ballista parts from nearby barrels to repair the siege weapons.
  • Use on of two types of Ballistas: Use a Coldfire Ballista against the blue wards and Fire Ballista against the orange wards.

Eastern Boss Fight: Gauztuul The Terror

Gauztuul The Terror is a giant Bone Colossus. 

Final Boss Fight: The Titan Zysax

The final encounter is a battle against The Titan Zysax. 

  • The Mechanic: You will need to use grapple points to move between platforms (look at them and press E), repair and use siege all while damaging the boss and killing other daedric enemies.
  • Protective Shield: You need to find and heavy attack "Protective Resonance orbs" to gain a protective shield against the glowy azureplasm on the ground. 

The Aftermath

Defeating The Titan Zysax gives you access to the Monolith room that has the Soul Spire Core. The core absorbs souls flowing into the spire and is the origin of the Writhing Wall itself.

When you destroy the Soul Spire Core, the Writhing Wall will be permanently breached for your megaserver. This grants all players on that server access to the Eastern Solstice zone through a hole in the wall.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from other players
When does the Battle for the Writhing Wall start in ESO?
The Battle for the Writhing Wall starts on 13 Oct 2025
What is the Writhing Wall Event in ESO?
 The Battle for the Writhing Wall is a large-scale, server-wide community event in The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO). It is a major part of the "Seasons of the Worm Cult" storyline, connecting Part 1 (Update 47) and Part 2 (Update 48).

Players on each megaserver must collaborate to complete tasks, defeat the Worm Cult, and ultimately destroy a massive, soul-forged barrier. The primary community goal is to permanently unlock the Eastern Solstice zone for everyone on that server. 
How do I participate in the Writhing Wall Event?
All players, including those with the base game, can participate. To begin, claim the free introductory quest, "Support the Fellowship," from the in-game Crown Store. Once you have the quest, speak to Skordo the Knife. He can be found on Stirk island (for base game players) or in the Solstice zone itself (for those with the 2025 Content Pass). 
Do I need the Solstice chapter or 2025 Content Pass to participate in the event?
No, you do not need to own the content pass to participate. All players, including those with just the base game, can contribute to the war effort.

Base game players can complete quests on Stirk island or fight the Worm Cult in certain delves and public dungeons; all their contributions will count towards the server's progress. 
What are the different phases of the Writhing Wall event?
The event is divided into three phases, with new activities becoming available as the community progresses:
  • Phase 1: Focuses on completing repeatable daily quests to gather supplies and strengthen the Stirk Fellowship camps.
  • Phase 2: Introduces a new World Boss, Ghishzor, located in the Solstice zone. Players with the 2025 Content Pass can help defeat this enemy.
  • Phase 3: The final stage, a large-scale assault on the Worm Cult's fortress, the Writhing Fortress. The community must unite to fight powerful enemies and destroy the Soul Tower that powers the wall.
You can track your server's progress in the Group & Activity Finder.
What activities can I do to help break the wall?
You can help progress the event by completing four repeatable daily quests for the Stirk Fellowship, which can be done multiple times a day on each character: 
  • Orinde Glenuvon: Kill Worm Cult members and collect Vitrified Souls.
  • Quartermaster Nurwalne: Gather supplies like fats and furs from various enemies.
  • Armorer Reistaff: Craft armour and weapons at the camp.
  • General Zasimba: (Solstice zone only) Clear out Worm Cult Siege Camp Incursions.
  • Kill the World Boss Ghishzor in Solstice
What rewards can I get from the Writhing Wall event?
You can get a variety of rewards from the Writhing Wall event, including: 
Does this event give Event Tickets?
No, this is not a typical seasonal or in-game festival. It is a unique, lore-focused community effort that does not grant Event Tickets and does not feature Event Merchants like the Impresario. 
What happens after the Writhing Wall is destroyed?
Once the community destroys the Soul Tower, the wall is permanently breached, granting all players on that megaserver access to the Eastern Solstice zone

For players still progressing through the main story, the wall will remain visible until they complete the relevant questline to ensure lore consistency. 
What is the Writhing Fortress?
The Writhing Fortress is the final, climactic part of the event. It's a unique, large-scale instance, similar to a public dungeon, designed for groups of more than 12 players.

The main objective is to destroy magical barriers using siege weapons and ultimately destroy the Soul Tower powering the Writhing Wall. It is nearly impossible to complete solo. 
Is participation in the live event mandatory to access Eastern Solstice?
No, participation in the live event is not mandatory. After the event concludes, players who complete the Western Solstice questline will find the wall already breached, allowing them to freely enter Eastern Solstice and continue the main quest.
