The Elder Scrolls Online: Battle for the Writhing Wall is now available for players across PC, Mac, Xbox and PlayStation consoles.

This year’s Seasons of the Worm Cult saga—a continuation of ESO’s original story—brought players to Solstice, where the Writhing Wall has prevented access to the eastern half of the island and the Worm Cult’s stronghold. The Battle for the Writhing Wall will require players to work together to gather supplies, assault the wall, and break through to defeat the Worm Cult.

In a first-ever for ESO, each of the game’s megaservers will progress through the event at their own pace, so the race is on to see which players will be the first to unlock the new region. You can follow each server’s progress on the ESO website.

The Battle for the Writhing Wall event has three unique phases, each unlocking additional challenges and rewards. Phase 1 and Phase 2 will prepare players to breach the wall by obtaining key items and defeating a range of enemies and World Bosses. All ESO players can help progress these phases, but only 2025 Content Pass owners can acquire quests on Solstice.

Phase 3 will see players invade the Writhing Fortress and unlock the new region. Unlike the other phases, which last a variable length of time depending on player successes and mobilisation, 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 the only chance for players to bring down the Writhing Wall for good (and to earn a unique Title)! Only 2025 Content Pass owners can complete this phase and access Eastern Solstice.
