In their foolishness, they viewed true bliss with deep fear.
The Lamenter formShadow of the Erdtreeplayers can get completely transforms your character’s appearance into that of one of these Omen-like Lamenter creatures. Your face and body customizations have no bearing on this new Omen form – in fact, your entire character model essentially becomes that of a Lamenter omen instead of a Tarnished.
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’sa grotesque thing to look at, and even more bizarre to play as one.
Elden Ring Omen Form Stat Changes
After you undergo Omen transformation and gain the Lamenter form,Elden Ringplayers will undergo several changes to their base stats.
Omen Form Unique Attack
The secondary bonus of the Lamenter Omen transformation form isthe Lamenter Mask’s unique active ability.Once already transformedinto an Omen,Shadow of the Erdtreeplayers canactivate the Lamenter Mask consumable again to attack by enlarging their head.
This is a move the Lamenter boss uses in its fight. When activated, your character will rear back and quickly lurch forward, enlargening their head to comical degree and damaging everything in the nearby area. The Lamenter Form attackdeals a lot of damageand blasts any nearby enemies backward, knocking over small enemies, and interrupting 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.
It does not cost any FP to undergo Omen transformation, and it does not cost any FP to use the Lamenter Mask’s unique post-transformation ability. Consider equipping the Lamenter Mask to your Quick Slot pouch for easy access, as the Lamenter Omen transformation won’t last forever.
It is likely that the Lamenter Mask, and the Omen form transformation, have other hidden effects – it may be used to progress a questline, gain access to a secret area, or have some other use besides just being a body transformation item.
This guide will be updated as we discover what to do with the Lamenter Mask transformation, and what secrets can only be uncovered while thisShadow of the Erdtreetransformation is active.
How To Get The Lamenter’s Mask Transformation Item
To Get The Lamenter’s Mask, First Find The Dragon Pit
To get theLamenter’s Mask, you mustfind the Lamenter’s Gaol location in Northwest Charo’s Hidden Grave. Charo’s Hidden Grave, as the name implies, is a relatively secret area inShadow of the Erdtree. To get here, head to the Suppression Pillarfound in the central-west Gravesite Plain, specifically to the Pillar Path Waypoint where you will meet the NPCIgon.
Ride past Igon heading south until you are invaded by an Ancient Dragon-Man. Defeat the invader, then continue south then southeast on this path to discover the Dragon’s Pit side dungeon. Make your way through this dungeon to eventually find the titular Dragon Pit itself.
Trust the messages on the ground – you must jump into this pit to enter the boss room, which leads to a secret area.
Defeat the Ancient Dragon-Man again, then continue through the boss room to enter the Foot Of The Jagged Peak zone. Continue through this area until you reach the Grand Altar of Dragon Communion – at the base of a gigantic, dead Ancient Dragon.
Find Charo’s Hidden Grave To Find The Lamenter’s Gaol
To get to Charo’s Hidden Grave, where the Lamenter’s Mask location is,ride over the dragon’s body as you head toward its foot. You will see a field of red flowers in a plain below – continue to ride until you see the flowers lead down a path leading northwest.Enter this path to reach Charo’s Hidden Grave.
TheLamenter’s Gaol is located in the deep northwest of this secret zone, so mount up on Torrent and take care to avoid themyriad difficult enemies in this challenging area. You will knowyou are close when you see a bunch of wrecked cagesof various sizes dotting the landscape, which conveniently form a kind of path that leads right to the Lamenter’s Gaol entrance.
Beat The Lamenter To Get The Lamenter Mask
The Lamenter’s Gaol is a difficult dungeon to get through, and requires a lot of backtracking and exploration to get through. But at the very end of the Lamenter’s Gaol, you will face off against the Lamenter itself, which can be challenging if unprepared.
The Lamenter boss fight isnot too bad in a one-on-one, but it willperiodically disappear and re-appear with multiple mirror versions of itselfspread throughout the boss room. These mirror versions will charge at you, throw projectiles, attempt to make jumping attacks, and use the Lamenter Mask head-enlargening attack if you get too close.
The easiest way to deal with this boss is to bring in a weapon that is effective against a single enemy, and a way togenerate AoE damage. TheLamenter mirrors will die instantly upon being hitby anything, so if you can blanket an area in even a small amount of damage, you can easilyroot out the real Lamenter and wail on it.
Once defeated, the Lamenter boss drops the Lamenter Mask and a bunch of Runes. Head back to the Site of Grace at the entrance – or explore the Lamenter’s Gaol more thoroughly to get thePrattling Pate “Lamentation”, which will emit an eerie, mournful weep when used, in a similar way as thePrattling Pate “You’re Beautiful"orPrattling Pate “Let’s Get to It”.
How To Transform Into A Lamenter Omen in Elden Ring
Use The Lamenter’s Mask To Transform – After Unequipping Your Armor
Once acquired, the Lamenter’s Mask can be used and slotted into your Quick Select pouch just like any other reusable consumable, like theOmen Bairnor theBlasphemous Claw. It does have one important restriction, though – totransform into a Lamenter,Shadow of the Erdtreeplayers cannot have any armor equipped.
It’s OK to have weapons, arrows, Talismans, and quick select items equipped. As long as the four Armor slots that make upyour Head, Body, Legs, and Hand armorare empty,go into your inventory, select the Lamenter’s Mask, and select “use”.
Your character will raise the mask to their own face slowly, and upon placing it upon their flesh, it will appear to take over their whole body. The player character doubles over as a black mist wreathes their cowered form, and after a few seconds, they will transform from a barely-clothed Tarnished into a horn-ridden, sore-covered, disturbing Lamenter omen.
When in Omen Form, you of course cannot wear armor, and your equipment slots are in fact greyed out. It’s still perfectly possible to swap around Talismans, Weapons, and other equipped items, but you must remain “naked” and rely on theElden RingOmen transformation stats as your only base defense.
You cannot equip Armor after transforming – you’re stuck like this until you can figure out how to get back to normal, and unfortunately, there’s only one way out.
When Does Lamenter Omen Transformation End?
After turning into a Lamenter,you essentially retain your new Omen form until you die. There is nothing else that you can do to rid yourself of this form – you can’t use the item again to cancel the effect, and you can’t get rid of the Lamenter Mask transformation by resting at a Grace, defeating a Boss, being summoned into another player’s world, or via any other method than simply dying.
If you are desperate tochange it back and return to normalto unequip the Lamenter transformation, consider using theMemory of Graceitem, which will kill and respawn you at the nearest Site of Grace. You can also jump off a cliff, run into enemies, or do something else to die. No matter what, you must die to end the Lamenter Omen transformation.
