Venomess is a Wayfinder Hero in Wayfinder. Wayfinders in Wayfinder refer to the game's playable characters. Each Wayfinder is unique in terms of gameplay, combat tactics, abilities, and equipment, making each one distinct from the others, as well as providing players with a variety of different playstyles. This page covers information for the playable character Venomess in Wayfinder.

• Venomess was officially announced during PAX East 2023. However, her details are yet to be fully unveiled. This page covers speculative info based on trailers and other media for now. More will be revealed after the closed beta on May 10, 2023!

Nothing like a mere wall will stop The Venomess from reaching her mark and completing her mission.

Wayfinder Venomess Information

Venomess is the 6th playable Wayfinder officially revealed via an animated teaser trailer during PAX East 2023. 

The trailer shows Venomess infiltrating a temple/monastery of sorts, accompanied by a holoprojection of a companion named Tox. At the top of the temple, they spot marks along the walls and ground made by Eldren blades, as Tox exclaims "She's here!". The "she" referred to is revealed to be Niss, with whom Venomess appears to have some history. The trailer ends with Venomess shooting Niss, who just narrowly dodged the shot by moving her neck as she stares at a glowing object, possibly tied to the Gloom.

In the same trailer, Venomess is seen using the Nightshade Sniper Rifle, which is also confirmed to be her Signature Weapon based on Founder's Pack promotional images released during the event. This suggests that she will excel in ranged combat. She is also seen carrying a tank on her back filled with a purple chemical which also seem to course through her gauntlets. This detail along with her name suggests her skill set will involve the use of toxic chemicals and poison. Venomess is then seen expertly traversing the high walls of the temple, using a combination of acrobatics and some sort of propulsion technology afforded by her equipment, evident in the purple fume trails she leaves behind while in motion. This suggests she may have access to some mobility-enhancing and/or traversal skills.

Not much else has been revealed about Venomess, but she is set to release alongside the game's first season entitled "Gloom Break", available when the game goes into Early Access in Summer 2023. The closed beta scheduled for May 10, 2023 may also see her make an appearance, so more details may be revealed then.

Backstory

Before the Fall, the name Venomess was feared among the Imperial ranks. Those unfortunate enough to have put the face to the name, seldom survived. Venomess is a spy and assassin from a nation of monsters, born of cold and poisonous blood. In her time, she’s broken into so-called impenetrable vaults, stolen secrets from the Avar Throne itself, and brought down more Archon Commanders and master spellsmiths with her toxins than entire regiments by compare. Ven was born in the Maze. Her closest friends are goblins and battle-beasts, and though she looks human, appearances, like most things when it comes to Ven, can be deceiving. A brilliant alchemist and inventor, Venomess has always preferred stalking prey in the shadows to mixing salves in a workshop. Most of all, Ven craves a challenge—and the Gloom is the greatest challenge of all.

Venomess believes the Avar Imperium was an oppressive, warmongering regime and devoted her life to toppling it. Now the Empire has finally fallen, consumed by the Gloom… But all she hoped to protect in the Maze has been lost as well. Ven may not care for Wingrave or the other Imperial soldiers among the Seekers, but she recognizes that her cold war is over. In the wake of the Gloomfall, survival is the only thing that matters—and Venomess intends to survive. No matter the cost.
