World of Warcraft recently updated the Hallow's End event, which means there are a few more achievements to unlock. While you don’t need to complete them all to get the meta-reward, What a Long, Strange Trip It’s Been, some are necessary for that, and the title of “The Hallowed”. If you want to know what you have to do, we’ve got you covered.

Thankfully, the achievements for Hallow's End in World of Warcraft aren’t especially complex. They will, however, require you to put some pretty decent work in when it comes to collecting the Candy Buckets, finding masks, and transforming them into other forms. Here’s everything you need to know about getting these rewards in the current limited-time holiday event.


All Hallow's End achievements in World of Warcraft

Hallow's End is a limited-time holiday in World of Warcraft, lasting from October 18, 2023, until November 1, 2023. It’s one holiday that was recently reworked, which means there is at least one new achievement to add to your collection.

New achievements:

  • A Cleansing Fire: Defeat the Headless Horseman.
  • Kickin’ it with the Wick: Defeat the Headless Horseman while cursed by all four wicker men.

One World of Warcraft achievement has also been replaced. Bring me the head of. . . Oh wait has been moved to the Legacy Achievements section and replaced with Don’t Lose Your Head, Man. This trophy requires you to defeat any version of the Headless Horseman. Players who beat him in previous years will have this instead and will still need A Cleansing Fire.

Perhaps the most frustrating thing about these achievements in World of Warcraft’s Hallow's End is getting the various transformations and masks. If you gather all the candy buckets, that does increase your chances. We have a guide for every location of the various candy buckets in the game, which you can find here.
