Find all solutions to the equation, $$(\omega^2+1)^4=\omega$$ In complex numbers!


I tried the substitution $\omega=z^4$ but wasn't helpful...and the equation becomes more complicated by this way!

If you take the fourth root of each side: $$\begin{align} &\omega^2+1=\omega^{\frac{1}{4}} \\ \iff &z^8+1=z \\ \iff &z^8-z+1=0 \\ \iff &(z^2-z+1)(z^6+z^5-z^3-z^2+1) =0 \end{align}$$ Hope this helps.
