One of New World's exciting seasonal events, Wrath of the Elves, is returning in 2025. This limited-time event combines challenging open-world combat, great rewards, exclusive cosmetics, and unique PvE encounters. This guide will give you everything you need to dominate the 2025 Wrath of the Elves event!
What Is Fury of the Spriggan?
Fury of the Spriggan is a dynamic seasonal event in New World: Aeternum that features powerful nature-infused world bosses—Spriggan Constructs—that spawn across various zones in the game. These mighty foes emerge from corrupted groves, and defeating them offers significant loot and exclusive event rewards.
This event draws players into cooperative, large-scale boss fights in the open world, encouraging group play and community coordination.
Spriggan Spawn Locations (2025 Update)
In the updated Aeternum map system, Spriggan bosses now appear in several key regions—often rotated weekly. These areas have been visually corrupted by overgrowth and vines and can be spotted easily by players on the overworld map through special icons.
Confirmed 2025 spawn regions include:
Brightwood
Weaver's Fen
Mourningdale
Edengrove
Brimstone Sands
Each of these zones now features improved environment scaling and visual FX to match the seasonal theme. Upon approaching the spawn area, players will encounter roots erupting from the ground and ambient nature-based corruption.
Note: Spriggan bosses spawn on a rotating timer (approximately every 2-3 hours). You can check their timer in the in-game Events tab or via town boards.
Spriggan Boss Mechanics
The Spriggans are colossal plant-based entities infused with nature magic and elemental powers. In 2025, these world bosses have received mechanical reworks to scale with the Aeternum power progression system.
Key Mechanics:
Root Slam - A high-damage AoE smash that roots players in place.
Thorn Barrage - Sprays poisonous thorns in a cone-shaped AoE. Applies DoT.
Seedlings of Wrath - Mini-Spriggans spawn periodically to overwhelm the raid group.
Nature Overload (NEW) - At 50% health, the Spriggan enters a berserk mode, gaining elemental buffs and extra resistances for 30 seconds.
Enrage Timer (NEW) - If not defeated in under 10 minutes, the Spriggan gains permanent buffs and starts wiping out players.
Players must manage healing, dodge timing, ranged DPS roles, and crowd control to keep adds in check. Running a proper tank-healer-DPS comp is now crucial for these fights, especially in high-population servers.
Recommended Builds and Gear
To excel during Fury of the Spriggan, it's important to tailor your builds for AoE, mobility, and corruption resistance.
Top Weapon Picks:
Great Axe + War Hammer: High cleave and CC
Fire Staff + Void Gauntlet: Strong ranged AoE with healing utility
Bow + Spear: Kite adds and apply debuffs
Sword + Life Staff (Tank/Healer hybrid): Essential for managing boss aggro and healing
Armor Tips:
Stack Corruption Resistance and Nature Absorption gems
Equip heavy armor for tanks, medium for melee DPS, and light for ranged and healers
Use event-themed gear with the "Spriggan Slayer" perk if acquired
Consumables like Corruption Tinctures, Infused Health Potions, and Nature Damage Coatings will dramatically increase your survivability and DPS.

Best Strategy for Efficient Farming
Form a 10-20 player group ahead of the spawn time.
Use the event map to rotate across regions and tag every Spriggan spawn within a day.
Focus on boss mechanics, avoid standing in AoE, and save cooldowns for Nature Overload phase.
Participate daily to maximize Verdant Token acquisition for store cosmetics.
For solo players or those not in a company, don't worry—these bosses are open-world, and groups form organically around each spawn. Use global chat and Discord communities to coordinate.
