Smothering Tendrils, generally known as just "tendrils" are boss-like foes in Veil. Defeating the six tendrils and the Stygians that spawn when the tendrils die marks the end of Veil.

Abilities

Torment Slash

This is a unique skill that is different from the Torment Slashes from Torment Claws. It deals 200 damage twice in a line in front of the tendril. The slash's damage is earth damage. Tendrils do not have any other skills.

Hard Mode Stats

Health: 920

Armor: idk

Level: 26

Range: Ranged

Attack Damage Type: idk

Behavior

Generally speaking they will use Torment Slash on recharge whenever someone goes in range of them. However, sometimes they will cancel Torment Slash. If they spawn with a wand they can autoattack after a slash, the autoattack looks exactly the same as someone using a wand (they will always drop a wand if they behave this way). When the tendril dies, a group of mixed Stygians spawn near the tendril's corpse. The two tendrils closest to Gloom trench do not spawn Stygian Fiends when they die, while the other four tendrils do. The two tendrils closest to City are the only ones to spawn Stygian Hungers. 6 in total, 4 in the Northwest, 2 in the Southwest.

Counters

  • Pain Inverter is the most efficient way of killing these tendrils.
  • Wastrel's Demise is also extremely powerful - use this skill right when the tendrils spawn and reapply after every slash.
  • Overload + Shatter - cast Overload during the slash animation and shatter it.
  • Make sure that you don't get stuck by the Stygians that spawn when the tendrils die.
