I want to share my experience with the “Omen’s Veil” encounter, because my opinion of this fight completely changed after I discovered a different approach to it, one that differs from what most people show on YouTube.
At first, I approached it in the most obvious way: I tried to activate all three windows at once and power through the fight. I got completely wiped out. I tried a couple more times, and the result was the same.
After that, I went on YouTube to see how other players were getting through this battle. Mostly, I saw powerful AoE builds that powered through the fight, clearing the screen. I went back, tried to squeeze more power out of my build, and gave it another try. It still didn’t work.
At that point, I started to believe that ‘Omen’s Veil’ was simply an AoE check, and, to be honest, I was quite disappointed by that.
Then, after a few more attempts, an idea popped into my mind: what if the solution isn’t to try and fight all three active windows at once? What if I brought the first window to the point where the Omen became vulnerable, left that Omen alive, did the same with the second window, then activate the third, kill the already vulnerable Omens, and then finish off the last window?
So, I started trying exactly that.
And when it finally worked, it felt much better than if I’d simply crushed the fight using a mindless AoE-clearing build.
At that moment, it stopped feeling like a silly AoE gate and started to feel like a genuine puzzle.
That is precisely why I want to thank you, the EHG team. If this approach was designed as an intentional alternative, then you have given me something far more interesting than just a measure of raw power. You’ve given me a challenge that rewards the ability to think, the skill to adapt, and a proper understanding of the mechanics, rather than simply testing how well my build fits the meta.
I really appreciate that.
I would genuinely love to see more encounters like this in the game - encounters that test a player’s ingenuity, rather than simply the “correctness” of their build.
