Below Nidhoggur's old nest, the Veil keeps a brood of its own. Clear the tunnels, cut down the tree that feeds on the Veil, and face the Shadow of the Serpent.
It works like Echoes of Glast Heim: the party leader forms the run at the Veil Muster, members enter there, monsters grow with the party, the fallen are raised after 60 seconds (except before the final boss), and every boss leaves a Veil Spoils chest.
The four stages
- Upper tunnels: Nest Draco,Nest Pinguicula,Nest Aqua Elemental.
- Deep tunnels: Nest Red Ferus,Nest Green Ferus,Nest Gold Acidus,Nest Blue Acidus.
- West cavern: Nest Rata,Nest Duneyrr and the mid-bossElder Nest Tree. At half health it calls the nest's creatures to its roots.
- East cavern: Shadow of the Serpent.
- At half health it calls the brood.
- At 20 % health it enrages (35 % with the Enraged affix).
- Every 30 seconds it spits venom at a random player: 2.5 seconds later a pool bursts where they stood, for 30 % of max HP to everyone within 3 cells. Step out of it, and keep apart so one pool never catches several of you. It never kills on its own.
