Sounds like that world boss isn't finished being made part of the game. I wonder if Ghishnor will ever be one of the world bosses assigned by the Solstice world boss daily quest giver, or if it will stay unfinished?

Ah, right. I forgot it will show up in East Solstice again (hope that's not a spoiler). There's probably daily questgiver dialogue on it, which is still deactivated now, as long as the Wall is still blocking access to the other side.

Still, I wonder why they (re)used it as an event world boss now, since it makes no sense, and without any lore text on that it's just confusing and doesn't add much to the whole thing. It's just there and does nothing, basically.

There is a book on the table next to the daily quest giver for WB quests in Solstice. If you read the book, it cryptically mentions the boss but there is no actual quest. If you accept the WB daily, the book will disappear until you turn in and complete the WB daily quest.

I read that book now and it really doesn't say much at all:
"Blood of my blood, If you read this, Ghishzor comes to collect. Douse the ritual fires and send him back to Coldharbour by any means, before it is too late."
It makes it even more cryptic. Who wrote it? Whom is it meant for? Why does it show up next to the daily quest people who seem to know nothing about it?

Ghishzor does have a spot in Eastern Solstice and is likely to move there after the event, so it is a safe bet that one of her quests will direct there once this ridiculous wall event is over.

I helped kill it once, but because my dps is bad got exactly nothing for the effort so won't be doing that again. If there is a chest that is supposed to spawn, I didn't see it anywhere.

I was gonna mention lonely papa, but I kept thinking the lonely giant which is a pd boss. Beat me to it.

The most loneliness WB IMHO is Glemyos Wildhorn. I hate him.

Ok hear me out there's a boss in Alik'r I've killed twice in 10+ years. I never see anyone even near the area when I ride past, his name is Lonely Papa lol he's a giant. I feel bad for the poor guy

For me , that's not a spoiler but a reassurement.

I would love to fight this boss at last once to get the achievement, but in spite of spending almost all of my gametime on Solstace have not encountered him even once, nor seen any mention of him in zonechat.

He's just standing West of the main camp at the coast. He's there most of the time because most people don't see any reason to find him, or at least not more than once, which most people already seem to have done on day 1 after he appeared. I've heard that people who want to fight him now have a hard time because they don't find anyone who's still interested in that.

Thanks for letting me know! For some reason, I was under the impression Ghishzor was to be a wandering worldboss, or would spawn at semi-random places like the Elsweyr dragons. Searched all along the wall and around the camps for him. I had no idea he was just standing there, at the wrong side of the battle-lines.

I checked it out immediately, and was lucky enough to find 2 other players who had just startd the fight. We managed to take him down with the 3 of us.

Every time I ride by this WB nobody is fighting him.

Why?

• Takes too long to kill
• 1 shot mechanics
• Garbage rewards

I completed it once for the achievement and will never waste my time on it again.

So your complaint is it's more difficult than usual a WB? The issue isn't the boss, it's the players wanting ez-mode.

Ez-mode or not, why put effort into it more than once if all you get is a piece of blue gear?

I found and read the new book someone mentioned by the WB quest-giver (who I hadn't visted in a long while, so I didn't know it was there), and last night I stumbled upon the new WB while searching for a random mini-incursion so I can finish off the red carmine Soul Trap skill style. I was able to survive it for several minutes fighting solo, although I was barely putting a dent in it. Then another player showed up to help, and we fought it together for several more minutes, still barely putting a dent in it. Then the other player got one-shot, and I was back to fighting it solo, which lasted maybe another minute at most before I was also one-shot.

As far as the talk about rewards, I think focusing on rewards is the wrong way to play a game. I think players should be able to engage with challenging content just for the fun of it. Playing for rewards rather than for fun is never going to keep players playing, because once they obtain all of the potential rewards (which are just pixels on a screen, anyway) then they won't have any more incentive to engage with the content. And if they think the potential rewards "just aren't good enough" in the first place, then they won't even engage with the content long enough to get all of the potential rewards.

Game; noun: an activity that one engages in for amusement or fun.

Heaven forbid.

It will be. I’ve already gotten the quest for it even though we cannot get into Eastern Solstice yet. And I believe the side parts are you have to douse ritual fires 🔥. I didn’t purposely abandon it, and I haven’t been back on that character yet so I don’t know if when they fixed this the quest disappeared or if I still have it, but I’ll have to check next time I login.

Edited to add:

I still have the quest, even though I can’t do it yet:

GHISHZOR'S RITUAL
Level 50
Repeatable

The College of Rituals has learned that a powerful Daedra is determined to complete an ancient ritual in eastern Solstice. I agreed to extinguish the ritual fires and defeat the maldrith known as Ghishzor.

I can find Ghishzor at the ritual site of Zyv-Elehk in eastern Solstice. I need to reach the site, defeat the Daedra, and extinguish the ritual fires.

Wouldn't it be nice if WB's scaled to the number of players in the fight?

Depends on how much the scaling progresses. In Guild Wars 2, "Champions" — slightly different from ESO's World Bosses — scales with the number of players or, at least, they used to (been while I don't play it).

Problem is, especially when new bosses are introduced and A LOT o players get together (not necessarily grouped), the fight gets ridiculously tough or lengthy. I remember one in particular, atop of a flying ship hovering a beach iirc, that's a freak of nature in terms of regeneration because of such mechanic — almost like Walks-Like-Thunder in Murkmire.

I mean that's the event as a whole, right?
Like we have all these invaded delves and public dungeons in the base game and absolutely no reason to go and interact with them as part of the event they're part of.

They drop furniture, and that's it. Not even sure why the Worm Cult would invade some random Dwemer ruin somewhere, but whatever.

Like we have four dailies for the event and absolutely none of them involve the invaded content. What was even the point of making the change if they weren't going to use it for the event and drive players to go and see it?

On the contrary, the quest-giver for gathering vitrified souls to charge the Meridian lens mentions that there are invasions all across Tamriel, and marks known locations-- the invaded delves and public dungeons-- on your map for you. The reason this was done was for players who don't have access to Solstice.
