Every October, New World: Aeternum transforms into a haunting spectacle with the return of the Nightveil Hallow event. Players can fight eerie bosses, collect limited-time rewards, and even don spooky Nightveil costumes that let them become legendary characters for a short time.

If you’re wondering how to unlock these costumes and what rewards await during this year’s Halloween celebration, here’s a full guide to help you make the most of Nightveil Hallow 2025.

What Is Nightveil Hallow in New World?

Nightveil Hallow is New World’s annual Halloween-themed event featuring exclusive activities, bosses, and cosmetics. The event usually runs from late October to early November (e.g., October 22 – November 5 in previous years).

During this limited-time event, players will encounter:

• Salvatore the Mad, the mysterious NPC found beside glowing Nightveil Cauldrons in major settlements.

• Baalphazu, the Level 66 event world boss who spreads chaos across Aeternum.

• Trick-or-treat baskets hidden in towns for extra goodies.

• Nightveil Tokens, the event’s main currency used to buy special items and decorations.
  

How to Start the Nightveil Event

To join the event:

1. Find a Nightveil Cauldron — these appear in settlements across Aeternum.

2. Talk to Salvatore the Mad, who will introduce you to the event and the threat of Baalphazu.

3. Accept the event questline and begin hunting the monstrous boss to collect event materials like Ichor and Nightveil Tokens.

You’ll need to defeat Baalphazu multiple times to earn costumes, tokens, and rewards — but it’s well worth it.

How to Get Nightveil Costumes

The Nightveil costumes are one of the most popular parts of this event. They allow you to temporarily transform into some of Aeternum’s most iconic figures.

Here’s how they work:

All Nightveil Costumes

You can earn several unique costume transformations during the event, including:

• Captain Thorpe Costume – Channel the vengeful spirit of the corrupted captain.

• Adiana Costume – Become the guardian of the forests and ancient magic.

• Anubian Reaver / Horus Costume – A regal desert-themed look inspired by the Ennead.

• Lost Monarch Costume – Rule the night as a spectral sovereign.

Each costume is purely cosmetic and can’t be used outside the event. However, they’re an excellent way to show off during the festivities or pose for spooky screenshots.

How to Defeat Baalphazu

Baalphazu is no ordinary boss — this towering demon commands dark energy and can easily overwhelm unprepared players.

Tips for success:

• Form a large group — public event bosses are best tackled in 10+ player parties.

• Use AoE weapons like the Fire Staff, Great Axe, or Ice Gauntlet to deal with adds.

• Stay mobile — Baalphazu uses ground attacks and dark energy bursts.

• Focus on dodging rather than blocking; stamina drains fast during his enraged phase.

Defeating him rewards Ichor, Nightveil Caches, and a chance for costumes and tokens.

Nightveil Tokens and Rewards

After defeating Baalphazu, bring your Ichor back to any Nightveil Cauldron and toss it in. You’ll receive Nightveil Tokens, which can be spent at Salvatore’s shop.

Here’s what you can buy:

• Weapon and Armor Patterns with themed appearances

• Exclusive housing decorations

• Consumables and emotes

• Cosmetic skins (for armor and weapons)

💡 Pro tip: Collect and open Nightveil Treat Baskets in towns for extra tokens and candy consumables with fun effects.

Event Duration & Schedule (2025)

While the 2025 schedule hasn’t been officially confirmed, previous years ran from October 22 to November 5, so you can expect similar timing.

Keep an eye on New World’s official website or the in-game event banner for the exact dates.

Final Tips for Nightveil Hallow

• Log in daily to maximize costume drops (3 per day limit).

• Trade Nightveil Tokens before the event ends — they expire afterward.

• Team up with others for faster boss farming.

• Don’t forget to explore settlements for hidden treats — they often contain rare candies or tokens.

Conclusion

The Nightveil Hallow event is one of the most exciting seasonal celebrations in New World. Whether you’re chasing every Nightveil costume, collecting tokens, or decorating your home with spooky flair, this event offers plenty of fun for veterans and new players alike.
