Ophinneb the Skin-Veiled

"Ophinneb is alone among the Voidwound demons in her fascination with humanity. She wears and sheds lives like clothing--but to what end? Upon her arrival in Sanctuary, she laired in a long-forgotten fortress; over the years it accumulated decoration, and opulence. Does she aspire to be something else, or is she merely a hunter hiding in human skin?"

- Character description^(src)

Ophinneb the Skin-Veiled was a member of the Voidwound.

Ophinneb was vain, and alone among the Voidwound, she was fascinated by humans. To this end, she wore human skin around herself like a veil,^[1] and her crown was likewise fashioned.^[2]

Biography[]

Ophinneb DIHB — Ophinneb the Skin-Veiled

Like all the Voidwound, Ophinneb was reshaped by the primordial ages she spent in the Black Abyss.^[3]

Ophinneb — along with the rest of the Voidwound, arrived on Sanctuary at the five corners of Sharval Wilds. She made a lair in a long forgotten fortress.^[3] Ophinneb spent years in the fortress, and it accumulated both decoration and opulence.^[1]

When one of the Witch Circles of Sharval tried to treat with the Voidwound, she demanded the homes and families of the sacrifices she was to be given. A pact failed to be made. Later, Ophinneb and the other Voidwound (save Catarag) were tricked by the Untameable Wilds circle. The Voidwound were goaded into possessing the Witches, but this was a trap, as the Witches used themselves as vessels to carry their demonic hosts to the Voidwound Cage. While it cost the circle dearly, Ophinneb and the other Voidwound were successfully imprisoned.^[3]

Years later, the wards around their prison was damaged by the Cult of Terror, which allowed the Voidwound to awaken within their prison. Ophinneb relished the chance to be able to clothe herself once again with the lives of mortals.^[4] Ophinneb was later killed by the Shard-seeker, and her Skin-Veil Crown was sealed within the Helliquary.

In-game[]

Ophinneb is the first Voidwound Helliquary boss in Diablo Immortal, introduced as part of the Terror's Tide update. Felling Ophinneb alone or with a party unlocks Hell difficulty VI.

Combat[]

Ophinneb favours the use of blood magic to create constructs; especially bats. She also uses a whip as a weapon. Unlike most bosses, most of her attacks are fast and have short warning animations. Her attacks are;

Phase 1[]

"Face me! Do not look away."

Ophinneb Entrance — Ophinneb meets the player

Basic Attack: A single lash with her whip.
Scarlet Bats: This is her signature move; she conjures a flock of bats out of blood magic which pursue the player to drink their blood.
Rabid Bats: The scarlet bats can group together to form a semi amorphous cloud of bats that deal high damage. They can't be killed and must be evaded until they run out of stamina and dissolve back to scarlet bats.
Bat Nova: Ophinneb whips the ground and creates a dense cloud of scarlet bats that fly out in all directions.
Blood Spears: Ophinneb winds her whip above her head, then lashes to her front; sending out three spears of energy
Eruption: Ophinneb raises her hand up, and causes blood to erupt beneath the player. The eruptions occur 6 at a time, and the warning circles appear one after the other, adjusting to the player's new position.

Phase 2[]

'"I wear the flesh of slaughter."

Ophinneb Cloak — Ophinneb cloaks herself with Rabid Bats

At three and a half health bars, Ophinneb temporarily cloaks herself with Rabid Bats. Her attacks slightly change, but many of her previous attacks still remain.

Rabid Bats: Ophinneb now directly conjures rabid bats. After running out of stamina, they still dissolve into scarlet bats.
Whiplash: Ophinneb lashes her whip five times, with each lash sending out three scything waves of blood magic.
Blood Rush: Ophinneb turns into a cloud of blood vapor. In this form she can dash around at high speed, damaging the player if she passes through them. She also leaves bloody trails in her path that explode when they dry.

Phase 3[]

"Share in my prey"

Ophinneb Flight — Ophinneb levitates herself

At half of her overall health (2 health bars remaining), Ophinneb levitates herself,

Summon Minion: Ophinneb summons multiple Ashen Servitors to attack the player.
Blood Meteor: Ophinneb calls down meteors of blood in groups of 6. They have a short delay and can be evaded by moving out of the warning circles.

Phase 4[]

"Now you see."

After defeating all the Ashen Servitors, Ophinneb wears her Skin-Veiled Crown and transforms to her true form. The animation of most of her moves slightly changes.

Basic Attack: Ophinneb slashes at the player with one of her walking legs.
Clones: Ophinneb divides into 3 weaker versions of herself. In addition to her basic attack, each clone can use Blood Spears and Shockwave.
Blast Wave: Ophinneb releases a shockwave in all directions around herself.
Teleport: Ophinneb crumbles into a ball of fire, and appears at another location.
