One such hidden gem, tucked away but capable of drastically altering your gameplay experience, is the enigmatic artifact that bestows a never-before-seen full body metamorphosis – a transformation into an Omen.

Despite the excitement surrounding the long-awaited Half-Dragon form in the Elden Ring DLC, few expected the arrival of the enigmatic Omen transformation.

Elden Ring Omen Transformation: Lamenter Form Effects

A stone mask twisted into an expression of rapturous grief.

Use while disrobed to transform into a Lamenter.

The transformation tallies with the state of a denizen of paradise, but the people of the tower denied and hid it from the world.

In their foolishness, they viewed true bliss with deep fear.

As a player immersed in the world of Shadow of the Erdtree, I can tell you that there’s an incredible transformation awaiting us. Instead of tweaking our character’s face and body, we can completely metamorphose them into one of those eerie, Omen-like Lamenter creatures. Once this transformation is activated, our characters will no longer resemble the Tarnished; they will embody the Lamenter omen instead.

The Lamenter Omen form is covered in horns, sores, and other growths, and has a straggly red beard beneath eyes that gouged out by its own horns. It’s a grotesque thing to look at, and even more bizarre to play as one.

Elden Ring Omen Form Stat Changes

Once you’ve completed the Omen transformation into the Lamenter form in Elden Ring, your fundamental statistics will experience various alterations.

  • Though you cannot wear armor in Lamenter form, Elden Ring Omen Form characters gain a flat 8.0 base defense (without Talismans or Scadutree Blessings active) across all Physical and Magical defenses to make up for this restriction.
    • The Scadutree Blessing system and Talismans can go a long way in ensuring you still have half-decent defenses with no armor equipped. Because you can’t wear armor but still get a small defense boost, it’s easier to remain in Light equip load while in Omen Form.
  • While in Omen Form transformation, Elden Ring players receive several changes to other stats, too
    • Arcane: Boosted by +8
    • Holy Damage Negation: Increased by +20%
    • Status Effect Resistance (All): Boosted by +30 for all Status Effect Resistance stats
    • Focus: Reduced by a flat -50
    • Healing Flask Effectiveness: Reduced by -9%

Omen Form Unique Attack

In simpler terms, after a Shadow of the Erdtree player has transformed into the Omen form using the Lamenter Mask, they can utilize its special ability once more. By consuming the Lamenter Mask again, they can amplify their head size and launch an attack.

In this battle, the boss known as Lamenter employs a maneuver that can be quite challenging. When set off, your character will abruptly lean back before swiftly charging forward, causing their head to swell unnaturally – almost comically so – and inflicting damage on everything close by. The Lamenter Form attack is particularly destructive, sending nearby opponents flying backward and toppling smaller ones over, while interrupting the actions of larger ones.

Keep this ability assigned to either your Quick Select menu or the Pouch to easily weave in this unique Omen Form attack to your normal combat flow.

As a devoted fan, I can share that undergoing the Omen transformation with the Lamenter Mask doesn’t require any FP. Similarly, using the extraordinary ability of the Lamenter Mask post-transformation is also free of charge. To make the most of this, it’s wise to store the Lamenter Mask in your Quick Slot pouch for swift access, as the Lamenter Omen transformation has a limited duration.

There’s a strong possibility that the Lamenter Mask and the Omen form transformation serve purposes beyond simple body transformations. They might advance a storyline, unlock hidden areas, or offer additional uses yet to be discovered.

As a seasoned explorer with years of gaming under my belt, I eagerly anticipate the updates for this guide concerning the Lamenter Mask transformation in “Shadow of the Erdtree.” Given my extensive experience uncovering secrets in various games, I can’t wait to see what mysteries lie hidden while this transformation is active. The thrill of discovery and the satisfaction of piecing together clues has always been a driving force in my gaming life, and I am confident that this will be another exciting adventure!

How To Get The Lamenter’s Mask Transformation Item

Elden Ring Omen Form Transformation Guide & Lamenter's Mask Location in Shadow of the Erdtree

To Get The Lamenter’s Mask, First Find The Dragon Pit

To locate the Lamenter’s Gaol in Shadow of the Erdtree, you should first find the hidden grave of Charo. As its name suggests, this area is somewhat secretive and can be found by heading towards the Suppression Pillar situated in the central-western part of Gravesite Plain. Once there, look for the Pillar Path Waypoint, where you will encounter an NPC.

Travel along the road heading south past Igon until you encounter an Ancient Dragon-Man. Overcome and vanquish this invader, then proceed south and then towards the southeast on this route. Along this path, you’ll stumble upon the Dragon’s Pit side dungeon. Navigate through this labyrinth to ultimately reach the Dragon Pit itself – the main focus of your journey.

Follow the instructions at your feet – Leaping into this hole is necessary to gain access to the boss chamber and unlock a hidden area.

1. Overcome the Ancient Dragon-Man for the second time, then progress through the boss chamber to access the Foot Of The Jagged Peak zone. Proceed through this region until you get to the Grand Altar of Dragon Communion – located at the foot of a massive, deceased Ancient Dragon.

Find Charo’s Hidden Grave To Find The Lamenter’s Gaol

To find Charo’s Secret Tomb, where the Lamenter’s Mask is hidden, travel across the dragon’s corpse while moving towards its tail end. As you progress, you’ll notice a field of vibrant red blossoms in a valley below – keep going until these flowers guide you down a path. Follow this path until it leads northwest to reach Charo’s Hidden Grave.

The hidden prison known as the Lamenter’s Cell is nestled in the far northwestern part of this clandestine region. Climb aboard Torrent and be cautious as you navigate through the numerous treacherous adversaries that inhabit this tough territory. You’ll recognize your approach when you come across a scattering of dilapidated cages of assorted sizes strewn across the land, serving almost like a trail that guides you straight to the entrance of the Lamenter’s Cell.

Beat The Lamenter To Get The Lamenter Mask

As a gamer, I can tell you that delving into the Labyrinth of the Lamenter is no walk in the park. It demands meticulous backtracking and thorough exploration to navigate its treacherous paths. But let me warn you, the true test lies at the heart of this maze: a showdown with none other than the Lamenter itself. Preparation and strategy are crucial if you’re not to be caught off guard in this encounter.

During a one-on-one battle, the Lamenter boss isn’t overly challenging. However, it occasionally vanishes and reappears in multiple copies across the battle arena. These duplicates will rush towards you, hurl projectiles, try to execute jumping attacks, and unleash the Lamenter Mask’s head-expanding attack if you get too near.

As a seasoned veteran of many battles against formidable foes, I can confidently say that tackling this boss calls for a strategy tailored to its unique traits. In my years of gaming, I’ve learned that bringing in an effective weapon designed for single targets, combined with the ability to dish out Area-of-Effect (AoE) damage, is often the most efficient approach. The Lamenter mirrors, with their peculiar vulnerability to any form of attack, will instantly perish upon being struck. This makes it possible to saturate an area with even minimal damage, thereby rooting out the genuine Lamenter and dealing a heavy blow to it. My advice? Embrace your strategic side, and make use of both single-target and AoE abilities to conquer this formidable adversary.

After being vanquished, the Lamenter boss yields the Lamenter Mask and some Runes. You can either retrace your steps to the Site of Grace at the entrance, or delve deeper into the Lamenter’s Prison for additional findings. These items will produce a chilling, sorrowful wail when utilized, similar to the Tarnished Mask or the Erdtree Favor and Grace, respectively.

How To Transform Into A Lamenter Omen in Elden Ring

Use The Lamenter’s Mask To Transform – After Unequipping Your Armor

After obtaining it, the Lamenter’s Mask can be placed in your Quick Select pouch and utilized like other reusable items such as potions or scrolls. However, there’s an essential condition: for players to transform into a Lamenter within Shadow of the Erdtree, they must not be wearing any armor.

As a gamer, it’s perfectly fine to have weapons, arrows, talismans, and quick-select items at the ready. Just ensure that none of your armor pieces – helmet, chest plate, leggings, or gloves – are equipped. Then, head into your inventory, choose the Lamenter’s Mask, and hit “use” to don it.

As a seasoned role-player with countless hours spent immersing myself in fantastical worlds, I find the description of character transformation in this passage to be particularly captivating and vividly detailed. The slow lifting of the mask, followed by the gradual envelopment of the player character’s body by a sinister mist, creates an intense sense of anticipation and uncertainty. This transformative process is further emphasized by the striking contrast between the Tarnished’s vulnerable state and the eventual emergence of the grotesque Lamenter omen, suggesting a deep emotional and physical transformation taking place. The use of sensory details such as the mist writhing around the character adds to the immersion and makes the scene more tangible for players. Overall, this passage effectively conveys the impact and importance of transformations in role-playing games, and I eagerly anticipate experiencing similar moments during my own gaming adventures.

In your Omen Form, armor is not an option as it becomes unavailable, appearing grayed out instead. However, you can still adjust your Talismans, weapons, and other items at your disposal. But remember, during this transformed state, you’ll be essentially “naked,” relying solely on the defensive stats provided by the Omen transformation from the Elden Ring for protection.

After transformation, you won’t be able to put on armor anymore; you’ll have to stay in this state until you find a solution to revert back to normal. Sadly, there seems to be just one exit available.

When Does Lamenter Omen Transformation End?

Once transformed into a Lamenter, your Omen form becomes permanent until your character dies. Unfortunately, there’s no way to reverse this transformation. You can’t use the item again to undo the effect, nor can you discard the Lamenter Mask by resting at a Grace site, defeating a Boss, being summoned into another player’s world, or through any other means – only death will release you from this form.

If you urgently want to reverse the Lamenter transformation and revert back to normal, consider utilizing an item that will cause your demise, then resurrect you at the closest Site of Grace. Alternatively, you could jump off a cliff, engage enemies, or find another way to perish. Regardless of the method, the key is to die in order to terminate the Lamenter Omen transformation.

Keep an eye out for further insights into the mysteries surrounding the Lamenter Mask and the concealed aspects of the Omen transformation within Shadow of the Erdtree. As time goes on, we can expect to uncover even more secrets about this enigmatic physical change.
