You can use witching hour to skip the firewall and abomination grand encounters (works in singleplayer, but it probably only works in multiplayer if everyone does it).

What you have to do is change the time on your device to be 3:00 AM (or close to 3:00 AM). Witching hour will always attack in about a minute or so when the time on your device hits 3:00 AM, so all you have to do is time it right.

After witching hour kills you, you can wait out the dialogue and take the free revive, which spawns you at the end of the grand encounter.

I might not be the first to find this, but I figured it's worth sharing.

correction: it only works in multiplayer if everyone else is dead (so it's basically useless unless everyone does it). why i just put that there without testing idk

reviving isnt allowed so this unfortunately wouldnt rly work here

i respect it tho

odd, i don't really see a point in restricting non-paid revives when the game counts it as legitimate (excluding certain badges of course)

i don't think my silly little comment will cause a rule change but incase it does i updated the forum since i found out the trick works with abomination too

can't update the title unfortunately
