Ominous Portent is a challenge that is available during Overwatch 2's Halloween Terror event, and it instructs players to witness all seven Banshee moments in a single run of Wrath of the Bride. Fans that complete this task will earn the Tarot Reading voice line for Kiriko, and they will also be one step closer to unlocking the Jack-O'-Lantern weapon charm. This guide is here to help players claim those rewards by providing details on how to tackle the Ominous Portent challenge in Overwatch 2.

Overwatch 2: Ominous Portent Challenge

The first step toward completing Ominous Portent is to access Overwatch 2's Junkerstein's Revenge: Wrath of the Bride co-op game mode. This mode can be found within the Arcade, and it is recommended that fans select Story difficulty while working on challenges. Once a player finds a round of Wrath of the Bride, they should select their Hero and prepare to start.

Upon loading into the map, Overwatch 2 players should open chat and ask that their group avoid collecting the key when they are instructed to "find the key and unlock the rampart's gate." This instruction comes quite early during Wrath of the Bride, and fans will see flashes of Banshee Moira in the area immediately preceding the gate. These flashes are the Banshee moments referenced by the challenge description, and group members should simply run around in the area, avoiding the key, until they receive indication that they have completed Ominous Portent.

To note, a single player need not witness all seven of the Banshee moments in order to trigger the completion of Ominous Portent. Indeed, every teammate's Banshee sightings will count toward the requisite amount, and it is thus recommended that a group split up to make the search more expedient. Teams that take this approach should finish this Overwatch 2 Halloween event challenge in just a minute or two, and they can then get back to advancing through Wrath of the Bride.

While some fans may struggle to find a team that is willing to temporarily delay the collection of the rampart gate key, players that are persistent in queuing for Wrath of the Bride will ultimately join a cooperative group. These players should make sure that they address the other Wrath of the Bride-focused challenges, such as Lantern Lit, Photozomb, and Witch's Brew, during their multiple Ominous Portent attempts. Trying out different Overwatch 2 Heroes can also keep things interesting if a player is forced to queue for the game mode multiple times.

Overwatch 2 is free-to-play for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
