I have summoned one of the fabled witchmothers, who are rumored to appear only during the Witches Festival! Legends say these strange being can be bargained with for power…

Walk-through

1. Open the crown store and obtain your free Crow Caller.
2. Use the Crow Caller to summon Witchmother Olyve to begin The Witchmother’s Bargain quest.
   1. Collect Pumpkin
      1. Available from Grocer for 150g
      2. Found laying around
      3. Found in some food containers
   2. Collect Some Guts
      1. Small animals like squirrels, foxes, guar, chickens, snakes, frogs, etc.
   3. Collect an Essence of Death
      1. Named in any Delve
   4. Find the Witchmother Olyve in her brewery.
      Pull up the quest and bring up your map to see location.
      1. Aldmeri Dominion
         Go to Auridon’s Greenwater Wayshrine (Southwest of Firsthold) in Northwest Auridon. The brewery is a short distance to the the northwest of the wayshrine.
      2. Daggerfall Covenant
         Go to Glenumbra’s Crosswych Wayshrine (northern Glenumbra) and head West. The brewery is just northeast of Cath Bedraud and east of Par Molag crafting centre.
      3. Ebonheart Pact
         Go to Stonefalls by the southern dolmen. Fastest way is to travel to the Serk Quarantine Wayshrine in north Deshaan and travel North and East.
   5. Complete the quest to obtain your Witchmother’s Whistle.
3. Use the whistle to get experience bonus and obtain Plunder Skulls. Renew as needed.

Tip:  Find a delve with few campers. Ideally, a delve used in a daily quest. The usual delve boss timer is 5 minutes but will spawn when a daily quester appears in the room: will likely only get gold off mobs. Skulls can also be found on any named, Dolmens, World Bosses, etc.

Tip: Best location is in a public dungeon with multiple nameds in same room. Wait at least 3 minutes between boss kills (eg. in a public dungeon) to maximize your skull drops.

Tip: Can gather skulls in Cyrodiil but you have leave Cyrodiil to activate the buff.
