33 Pursuit Beyond the Veil is the second quest of the Veiled Witch sub-chapter in Chapter 9: The Sage of the Desert. Kliff tracks the Veiled Witch through the darkest regions of the Serpent Marsh, where the boundary between the physical world and The Abyss has worn dangerously thin. The environment itself becomes hostile, with Abyss rifts opening periodically and spawning enemies that must be dealt with while maintaining pursuit.

1717 At three points during the chase, Abyss rifts tear open and spawn waves of shadow enemies. These are mandatory combat encounters. The enemies are not individually strong, but they appear in groups of four to six. Use area-of-effect attacks and Force Palm to manage the groups quickly. After clearing each wave, the rift closes and you can continue the pursuit.

Make sure all enemies are down before starting the seal.
