Omen | Elden Ring Wiki

These are some of the worst enemies Fromsoft has ever made

Submit

Braggart's Roar works well with them. Alternately, get 101 poise to avoid being interrupted too often.

Submit

Adula's worked best for me. Still hate em.

Submit

Rejection incantation is a good thing against them.

Submit

You can stop their grab attack with war cry

Submit

INT build who prefers to stay away from Omens in sewers can try Night Maiden's Mist, high FP cost but works great if you could lure them over together.

Or just Unseen Form and walk around.

Submit

They look like Infested Barbarians from Dark Souls.

Submit

Rat meat must be really tasty in the sewers of the Lands Between because every single omen in this game except Morgott and Mohg are fat as Hell.

Submit

Mohg-like enemies!

Submit

The Omen in the sewers are very high-level. Super tanky with a variety of attacks in a confined area. But they also are big chunks where your attacks generally don’t miss so you can get a very good sense of your build, including consecutive hits effects. As a result, this is the best place to test builds because there are three of them and if you die, which is to be expected, you can easily recover your runes. If you find a build that generally beats them, it will be probably be amazing in the real world. Just don’t get discouraged with a build until you test it in the real world.

Submit

Did you know that Omens except for Morgott have 3 fingers?
This is because 3 fingers is seen as a bad omen in elden ring.

From the Four Toed Fowl Foot description: “In the Lands Between, having three digits is seen as a bad omen.”

Morgott has 4 fingers however because he rejects his omen nature.

Submit

Omens seem to have a connection with phantoms. Omens (and the Omen Set) can summon spirits like the Wraith Calling Bell. Morgot can posses people like that time in the Altus Plateau. Both he and Mohg made illusions in our first encounter of them (Stormvale and the Subterranean shunning-grounds respectively) Morgott summon yellow objects to fight with and ghostly throne in his second cutscene, which look like the shading of the phantom tree, Godfrey's Golden Shade, and when we're summoned with the white cipher ring.

Submit

Nice telegraphed attacks with long delays, Morgott Jr.

Would be a shame if I had a buckler equipped

And a Misericorde

Haha

Submit

Things to use against them:

Wraith Calling Bell
Lion’s Claw
Giant Hunt
Prayerful Strike
Taker’s Flames
Bewitching Branch
Nebula
Ghostflame Ignition
Moonlight Greatsword
Mists of Slumber
Sleep status
Frost status
Bleed status
Parrying
Guard Countering

Submit

Greatbow stunlocks these at range, blasts them off their feet. By the time they get up, you have another arrow ready. Though if they are close enough to start an attack animation they can sometimes poise through it.

Submit

these guys deserved to be shunned

Submit

To everyone complaining about how difficult they can be.
Spam Wave of Gold from the Sacred Relic Sword. It knocks them back, and can be spammed enough to kill them, even if you run out of stamina. Spam til out of stamina/FP and then run away until recovered, then spam again.

Submit

Sacred blade + holy scorpion charm on the great stars is great for these guys

Submit

Sorry but how can you deal with these things with dex build. Just how? They have 8 consecutive attack and the ones in the city has holy breath after the frekin 8 attack combo. They have more health and poise than bosses in the city. I just dont understand this shitty design. This is not fair or fun. This is just bullshit.

Submit

Add that they can be put to sleep and responses to shadow baited

Submit

I just defeated the three ogres in the sewer... It only took me all my flasks and my mental health (:

Submit

I'm convinced FromSoft can no longer design fair enemies. These guys have the entire kit and their only weakness is spamming jumping attacks over and over. In order of most annoying, they have high health, high damage, fast swings, a gap-closer, two different grab attacks, a six swing combo, a ranged attack, and can dodge projectiles.

Submit

these enemies are literally impossible to fight and anyone who says otherwise is lying, just skip them; there is no gap in their attack patterns that you can use to attack them even with a fast weapon like a dagger

Submit

These things are so god damned annoying. Infinite combos that deal ABSURD chunks of damage with even their "light" attacks. The only hope of beating them without wanting to rip your teeth out is ranged cheese or stunlock.

Submit

I enjoy fighting them by dodging parrying early game, but the ones at the sewers do a lot more damage and can combo kill you if you make a mistake.



Even the Crucible Knight at Deeproot didn't have so much damage output and allowed me to make a few more mistakes and survive.



They kinda force you to play more passive by being a turtle or stun lock them with colossals, which is not as satisfying as dodging and parrying.

Submit

never ending combos and boss-level health bars, better just run past them

Submit

big mommas like father like son

Submit

mass produced gundyr without halberd

Submit

Who gave the Blighttown Barbarians cocaine and steroids?

Submit

Tanky, hard hitting bastards. I prefer parrying them, but a cheesy AoW works just as well. Someone recommended Lion's Claw, and I agree, it's good against them.

Submit

It's kinda sad the way the sleeping ones twitch and whimper in their sleep.

Submit

My second playthrough with the Meteoric Ore Blade after my first playthrough where i used greatswords and colossal swords really made me understand why people hate these big crackhead ogre douchebags, the way they can poise through lighter weapons outside of charged heavy attacks and jump attacks, combined with how ridiculously fast and aggressive they are for how tanky and damaging they are, like they just don't ****ing stop attacking to the point that it feels like it's hard to get more than one hit on them without them comboing you or smacking a huge chunk of your health away instantly, these chonky heavy looking ogres have no right having agility and speed comparable to a master shinobi on top of being really tanky and damaging and ridiculously aggressive, just screw these phat phucks, they are extremely annoying without a heavy weapon that can consistently stagger them.

Submit

me in first playthrough with double greatswords: i don't see why everyone complains about these guys, they're easy to stunlock

me in second playthrough with single curved sword: mommy help me

Submit

They only have 4 fingers and 4 toes, where'd they go?

Submit

Three doses of ancient death rancor followed up by a jumping attack with a colossal weapon like the Royal Greatsword will make quick work of these tough bastards...

Submit

And for what holy reason are they resistant to holy damage?

Submit

I'm a prophet and also a confirmed chicken. In SubT, I figured out those big brutes do not climb ladders. Stealth to the ladder of the wooden platform to the right of the grace room and quickly climb. You'll aggro the nearest one, and he'll be at your heels, so don't daddle. From up there, I blast the omenkiller with the fire eye zapper spell or black fire. You can lure the furthest ones from the platform using the little angry spirit bell (the range of that thing is phenomenal), and also zap them away. It's a little long, but perfect for a scaredy cat like me! I bet this works with bows too.

Submit

idk i think they're fun to fight

Submit

The strategy I’ve come up with these guys for a strength build is to come up on them, get the sneak attack if you can, if not no big deal.
1) Lion’s Claw, pancakes them.
2) Back up a few steps while waiting about three seconds, then Lion’s Claw again. This should break their stance and leave them open to the critical.
3) When they fall, three seconds wait again but *make sure your lock-on is clicked again, the critical usually clears it* and then
4) Lion’s Claw one more time for the finish.

If timed correctly, they never even get a move off.

Submit

These dudes are tankier than fire prelates for some ungodly reason.

Submit

The sewer ones are proly stronger than most minibosses.

Submit

Anyone else trip on that one hooded omen that has fias mist, what's his deal

Submit

INT builds can use Wing of Astel WA on them. You get a riposte every 2 hits. You can also chain the WA continuously until they're dead after the first poisebreak, does good damage.

Submit

The sewer variants of these dudes would not be anywhere near as much of a pain if it wasn't for the fact that they can just activate super armor at will and ignore attacks that would normally ragdoll them on, and if there weren't so many of them so close together, 1on1 they are not that bad if you're aggressive since they are not too hard to stagger, but multiple at once are a massive pain to deal with, especially with their random super armor, atleast you can run past most of these things.

Submit

The comically exaggerated WWE choke slam these guys do when they grab someone are weirdly funny provided your not on the receiving end of it.

Submit

They can deal eachother damage, like Trolls, big dogs, etc.

Submit

I wish we had their cloak and armor as well as the commoners armor that has the shroud on it

Submit

I used to be like you... I hated these guys almost as much as the Creeper hands... But I got myself a couple colossal weapons: Giant's Crusher & Golem's Halberd both +20ish. Power stance them, run up on them & jump attack them with L1/LB. It breaks poise 95% of the time. Followed by either a Lion's Claw AoW or another jumping L1 will give you a riposte... don't. Waste of time.

Just jump attack 3 times then 1 or 2 regular L1s once they're knocked down & they're dead. A fun little farm of 7 if you've got both gates open in the Subterranean Shunning-Grounds.

Submit

To anyone on a high-strength build or not confident with parries, here’s my recommendation as someone who farms them for runes for fun lol.

Guard counters with a decently heavy weapon will put them in riposte very easily, just make sure your stability/Boost is decent, 60-70. 2 counters with my Giant Crusher immediately puts them into Riposte, though results will vary depending on your weapon’s stamina damage and the drain from blocking attacks. Jump heavies are a nice fill in if you have the speed or as a wakeup.

If you have the option for ailments, it should help somewhat if you utilise lighter weapons.

Finally, if you can stagger or backstab the full-horned boys out of the AoE comfortably (a jump heavy does it for me), do so. The Omen Bairn attack they do boosts attack and resistance so the fight’ll only get harder, not to mention the addition of Holy Chip Damage.

Stay safe and happy Omen Slaying.

Submit

easiest parry ever. Love the chubbies

Submit

I think this needs to mention the death fire, or whatever its called, the fully horned omen can use against the player. they have a few different options, they sort of explode causing a close range AoE, they can buff their weapons with it, they have a breath attack that casts a wide stream of fire towards the player and they have an attack similar to one of the rancor spells where fiery skulls home in on you.

Submit

The dudes in SubT Shunning Gs seem to have 5933 HP, tested with Night Mist

Submit

Apparently, using those guys in Subterranean Shunning Grounds as training dummies/test subjects for my new weapons/builds/incants was not the best idea...

Submit

Aspect of the Crucible spells (horn, tails) absolutely destroy these guys. You can fling them around like footballs. Cleared the Leyndell underground of these guys with ease.

Submit

It's interesting how these guys have really Holy resistance. Could it have something to do with their ties to the primordial Crucible?

Submit

I hate how it feels like they have 5 bajillion health for no reason at all.

Submit

These ****ers and their random hyper armor...

Submit

trash enemy

Submit

I blame the winged knights from DS3 for starting this trend of fat enemies gracefully performing 5-hit combos.

Submit

most annoying enemy for no reason at all other then to be annoying, tons of health for no reason and also every encounter decided when you need to fight them there has to be at least 3 of them.

Submit

I hate these. They fight almost exactly like Champion Gundyr (same speed too), except they have no excuse for that since they're obese diseased ogres that are spammed all over Cliffbottom Catacombs because the game apparently thinks they're regular trash mobs.

Submit

Flame of Redmanes will poise break them in two hits. Might not be ideal but something to possibly consider

Submit

bloodhound's finesse follow-up attack will easily stagger these guys if you're frustrated by fighting them

Submit

bloodhound's finesse follow-up attack will easily stagger these guys if you're frustrated fighting them

Submit

These guys, misbegottens and living jars are the minorities in elden ring

Submit

Unseen Form works pretty well on these guys if you don't feel like fighting.

I'd bet Mimic veil would be good too but don't take my word.

Submit

Unless you’re using colossal weapons or bleed these guys are a ****ing pain in the balls

Submit

In Leyndell sewers there's a section with 3 omen in succession guarding a ladder.
First, ensure the are behind you is clear of slugs. Continue until you locate a metal fence with a missing gate which you can walk through. Lure each omen here so they get stuck behind the fence. You can now safely use whatever ranged option you have. Storm Blade ash recommended for non-casters.
There's no shame in cheesing a very cheesy enemy.

Submit

Ground Slam and Golden Slam ash will drop an omen flat, giving you a moment to recoup.
Storm Blade ash is very effective for anyone without other ranged means. Fire in pairs to make use of the quicker animation on the second fire, but no more in case their poise breaks. When it does, do your worst.
They are generally easy to stagger - jumping heavies recommended.
Safe melee tactic: get near enough to trigger their combo attack. Dodge back and keep sprinting in a circle to remain just outside of their melee range - this will trigger their holy breath attack. Jump over this and perform a jumping heavy. This staggers them. Dodge back and repeat. Be patient & don't get greedy.

Submit

I'm a little confused as to why something born of a curse is resistant to holy damage.

Submit

H

Submit

PS. These guys are almost completely deaf and if Sub. Shunning grounds is a chore for you, you can run past behind them. They wont notice you if they dont see you and you dont break any scenery items.

Submit

For my fellow sorcerers and spellblades.

I found that the Nebula ash of war for the Bastard's Stars and the Wing of Astel as well as the Wing of Astel's strong attack are very effective on Omen and deal really good stagger damage. Both night and flame stance attacks for the SoNaF are also good choices, Night Comet in particular can easily knock an Omen on his ass. LuciferFallen mentioned that the spell "Carian Piercer" when fully charged is another good option. Aetavicus suggested a single cast of Gavel of Haima and then quickly switching to Carian Slicer for DPS while the Omen is down.

Submit

These guys got an attack animation where they just grab you by the neck, fling you over their shoulder and then forcibly slam you on the ground. For some reason I fond it very funny.

Submit

Ok, who made the ogre page redirect to this page?

Submit

Collosal weapons can guard break with 2 charged heavy attacks if you can sneak behind them. Charge up another before they get up from the guard break and you can be done with them quickly.

Submit

I got so frustrated with these guys. I was looking for answers on how I can take them down with ease. Then I realized that I had the best anti-omen weapon in my inventory.

It was called the Great Omenkiller Cleaver.

Submit

If you're fighting multiple Omens, you can make them hit each other. Not only does it make them much easier to fight,but it's also hilarious

Submit

You can parry their punch lul

Submit

The Omens in the sewers are incredibly hard to use sleep on, they are very agrresive on their attacks and when using St. Trina's sword they can literally power through the the whole "sleep" effect with their animations, just stick to a bleed weapon if you are intending on taking on these guys

Submit

Use sleep on them and they will never be a threat again 10/10

Submit

these guys are so tanky and there's just so many of them in the sewers. It feels like I spend hours killing them when I can't run by them

Submit

The omen in stormveil is the only Omen to have his horn cut off and somehow survived to adulthood

Submit

while these guys are really annoying at first, if you practice parries against them and memorize the timing, they become a cinch. their attacks are very telegraphed, apart from the small little punch or kick they'll do

Submit

Bleeding them during their grab-tell doesn't interrupt it - the tell animation is interrupted, but resumes when the bleed animation stops.

Also, they're vulnerable to being run over. Shield Crash, Charge Forth both stagger them with a knockdown finish. War Cry's shout can knock them out of the air, too, somehow, and staggers them reliably.

Submit

They are extremely tough in the Leyndell underground. Like tougher than some bosses. Does anyone know a good strat or cheese to deal with them since there are so many? I'm probably just underleveled for that area. Right now I'm level 83 doing STR melee with greatsword and shield.

Submit

Do they resist Death?

Submit

Their running grab attack is kind of dumb. Even if you roll to dodge, they will keep running at you to do it until either they catch you in-between rolls or you outpace it.

Submit

I think it is just me but i am pretty sure the Omens full of horns are much tankier and have higher poise compared to the ones with less (also the horn ones use yellow projectiles). That's why i had a bit more trouble with the ones near the first sewer grace since none are the "weak" version. They can still be staggered with right weapons and skills either way

Submit

F these guys and F the sewers. And F those 8 armed revenants. This **** is ludicrous.

Submit

Dual wield any weapon, doesn't have to be heavy weapons and use jump + L1 to interrupt most of their attacks. Combine this with Flame of the Redmanes and you should be able to break their stance quickly. I was farming them for their weapons and this was pretty much the most consistent and quick way to dispatch them, as long as you are only fighting one. The only attack you should really watch out for is their version of Wrath of Gold which shoots out fireballs - basically as soon you see them start to glow you want to bonk them to stop the attack. When it's the regular fire breath you want to dodge INTO them because you will iframe through most, if not the entirety, of the attack.

Submit

Between these brutes and Mohg, I'm having a really hard time feeling bad for the omen. Mostly I feel bad that Morgott has to suffer the same sort of punishments rightfully reserved for the others of his kin.

Submit

Ive resorted to spamming the Blasphemous Blade's weapon art since it knocks em down

Submit

Worst designed enemy in the game since it's technically common. Any field enemy SHOULD have one or multiple openings for retaliatory strikes. FromSoft broke this one by giving it infinite stamina and attack chain. There's literally no opportunity to hit one of these guys without a nimble weapon. Backstabs if you're lucky and they dont jump off to the side. It's worse than Crucible Knight with less HP

Submit

Remember the DS1 fat club guy from Blightown? This is him now, feeling old yet?

Submit

Fromsoft should reduce the HP of these guys in the sewer area of the lower Lyndall.

Submit

Weak to bleed. I chain stun them powerstancing double seppukku nagakibas, proccing bleed almost every hit. They can't even hit.

Submit

Curved sword and above + glintstone pebble. completely rekts them

Submit

Jump heavy attacks basically interrupt them during most of their attacks even without heavy weapons. They even lead into a poise break for a reposte.

Submit

Switched to my Morning star and had a way easier time killing these ones. Went from five guard counters to only two to stagger them and the crit damage went way up.

Submit
