A closer look at the founder @Alcast
Alcast is the founder of Alcasthq.com and a long-time The Elder Scrolls Online player. He has been deeply involved in the ESO endgame scene, with some of the most difficult achievements including:
- World First Godslayer – Sunspire Trial
- World First Gryphon Heart – Cloudrest Trial
- World First Tick Tock Tormentor – Halls of Fabrication
- World First God of the Gauntlet – Blackrose Prison
These are some of the most challenging achievements in ESO, and even today, only a small number of guilds have managed to complete them. Alcast was the Leader and Guild Master of Hodor, one of the top raiding guilds, which disbanded after securing the Godslayer title due to a lack of further competition.
Since then, Alcast stepped back from competitive raiding to focus more on helping the broader ESO community. With more time to invest in content creation, his goal has been to share high-quality, proven guides for players of all skill levels—from beginners to veterans.
