Battle the Worm Cult together with your server to advance the war effort and unbar the way to a new region in a special one-time event. [h2][/h2][h2]Save Solstice[/h2]
The Battle for the Writhing Wall event
begins October 13 at 10AM EDT and continues until the Writhing Wall is destroyed. Band together with your fellow players to progress the event for your server and ultimately bring down the wall on your platform and region!
The full scope of the event is part of the Seasons of the Worm Cult saga unfolding on Solstice for
2025 Content Pass owners, but all players can participate in the fight against the Worm Cult and help foil their schemes.
[h2]Join the Fight![/h2]
Once the event kicks off on October 13, visit Skordo the Knife at the
Stirk Fellowship Camp or the
Sunport Rampart Camp to sign up and do your part in the war against the Worm Cult.
You can reach the Stirk Fellowship Camp by taking the boat to Stirk from the docks of Vulkhel Guard, Daggerfall, or Davon’s Watch, while the Sunport Rampart Camp is located near the Rampart Camp Wayshrine on Solstice, to the southeast of Sunport. You can also grab the introductory quest, titled “Support the Fellowship,” from the in-game Crown Store to help point the way.
Prepare for battle! The Battle for the Writhing Wall event must progress through three unique themed stages before you can bring down the wall and enter Eastern Solstice. To progress through the first two phases, you must complete daily quests acquired from either the
Stirk Fellowship Camp or
Sunport Rampart Camp (2025 Content Pass required). Each time you complete one of these daily quests for your server, you help progress the phase.
General Zasimba is found only in the Solstice zone and offers quests to defend the Fellowship’s Siege Camps. Note that Siege Camp quests will remain available after the Battle for the Writhing Wall concludes. These quests can be acquired and completed only by players with access to the 2025 Content Pass.
You can find
Orinde Glenuvon on the islands of Stirk or
Solstice, and she requires Vitrified Souls from Daedra native to Coldharbour in all phases.
Quartermaster Nurwalne is present on Stirk as well as Solstice, offering quests to gather supplies for the war effort from various regions of Tamriel. These quests are available in all phases.
Armorer Reistaff offers opportunities for crafters to help supply the Stirk Fellowship on either Stirk or Solstice. These quests are available in all phases, with additional quests available in Phase 2.
Skordo wants you! [h2]Stages of the Conflict[/h2]
As you complete daily quests and defeat cultists and Daedra from Coldharbour, you help your server progress through the event. You can see your server’s current phase and progress on the
Battle for the Writhing Wall event page or within your in-game Activity Finder.
Phase 1: Supply and Defense Help the Stirk Fellowship gather resources for the conflict to come. Phase 1 daily quests sees both sides engage in skirmishes over Siege Camps, and planar incursions begin to affect locations across Tamriel. ALL
ESO players can help progress this phase, but only 2025 Content Pass owners can acquire quests on Solstice.
During this phase, the Worm Cult takes over various Delves and Public Dungeons throughout Tamriel, staging them as their invasion sites and marking them on the map. These areas have additional monsters that are more difficult to defeat than the normal inhabitants and are the focus of Orinde Glenuvon's daily quests.
Prepare for war in Phase 1 Phase 2: The Assault Begins It's time to take the fight to the Worm Cult! Continue to strengthen the war efforts, maintain siege camp defense, and expect vicious counterattacks as Fellowship forces prepare their decisive strike against the wall. ALL
ESO players can help progress this phase, but only 2025 Content Pass owners can acquire quests on Solstice.
After Phase 2 begins, Siege Camp incursions occur more frequently and are more difficult to complete. Additionally, the Daedra Ghishzor, a powerful Maldrith, appears as a world boss on Solstice.
The battle ignites in Phase 2 Phase 3: Fall of the Writhing Wall The Writhing Wall is exposed, and it’s time to break through and clear the Writhing Fortress public instance. Unlike the other phases, which last a variable length of time depending on player successes and mobilization, the third phase lasts
one week from when the Writhing Fortress is first completed on a given server, bringing the event to a close after that period. This is your chance to bring down the Writhing Wall for good (and to earn a unique title!), so be ready to dive in when it becomes available. Only players with access to the 2025 Content Pass can attempt and complete this phase.
Enter the Writhing Fortress in Phase 3 Upon the first completion of the Writhing Fortress dungeon,
Eastern Solstice is unlocked for all 2025 Content Pass owners on the server. Access to Eastern Solstice allows you to explore the second half of this mysterious island and complete the Seasons of the Worm Cult Part 2 storyline.
