'The Elder Scrolls Online' News: 'Witches Festival' to Start Oct. 20, XP Boosts and Halloween-Themed Items Will Be Available
New home will also be made available to players while 'The Witches Festival' is active
This time of the year features all kinds of games coming out with Halloween-themed festivities, and "The Elder Scrolls Online" is no exception.
For those who will be spending the Halloween season in Tamriel, they will be able to take part in the event known as "The Witches Festival."
The festival will start on Oct. 20, and once it goes live, players may need to do a few things in order to really get into the swing of things.

Detailed in a recent post on the game's official website, players will first need to go to the Crown Store and get the Crow Caller item. They will then have to finish "The Witchmother's Bargain" quest to acquire the Witchmother's Whistle and use that to summon the Witchmother's Cauldron.
Once the Witchmother's Cauldron has been summoned, players can use it to gain a 100 percent XP boost that will last for two hours. They can also polymorph their characters into their undead forms.
Notably, if "Elder Scrolls Online" players took part in the festival last year and already have the Witchmother's Whistle, they can then just skip the first steps and proceed to summoning the cauldron right away.
Aside from the XP boost and the polymorph option, players will also be able to acquire several Halloween-themed items during "The Witches Festival."
Different masks and recipes perfect for the scariest of days are going to be up for grabs, and there is also a Zombie Horse mount that will be added to the Crown Store.
The home known as the Exorcised Coven Cottage will be made available to players too via the Crown Store, and if they were able to claim some specific achievements, they will be allowed to purchase this place of residence using in-game gold. Players will only be allowed to acquire the Exorcised Coven Cottage while the event is live.
"The Witches Festival" will remain active inside "The Elder Scrolls Online" until Nov. 1.
