History of Omen of the Witness

Overview

Omen of the Witness is a high-damage boss encounter in Requiem, the fourth story mission of The Final Shape. It uses several Light and Dark powers.

Encounter

The Omen spawns after you kill the Resonant Warder in the second area of Step Two. Save your big abilities for it, and use a Linear Fusion weapon on the Warder instead. The fight starts when you shoot the Darkness Splinter, and it runs in three waves. Hold it in place with Stasis, pop a Super such as Silence and Squall while it is held, then finish it from range with a Scout Rifle such as Hung Jury.

Completion

Note the glyph the Warder dropped and stand in the matching Darkness pool in front of the wall. The wall opens to the next zone.

Reported roles

Reported roles differ between sources. Destinypedia's Requiem entry lists the Omen only as an enemy unit and names the Pillar of Stillness as the mission boss.
