Nightmare Dofus

The Nightmare Dofus

“If the night is dark, it's so that nothing can distract us from our nightmares”: those are the words of young Kilvan, before falling asleep against his stuffed chtiger. The Nightmare Dofus was born of that night, which hides all the fears and all the mysteries of the eternight: blue fears, red embers and golden glyphs blend together there, in the cradle of good and evil.

Available from level 180, it is an endgame Dofus: its Initiative helps you play early, and its passive, with a Bontarian effect and a Brakmarian effect, suits the character who takes unbewitching and hindering, or who pushes and gets pushed.

The effects and the passive

• 1000 Initiative

1,000 Initiative at all times, unconditionally.

The Nightmare Eternal passive combines two effects. Bontarian Shield: when you are unbewitched or hindered, you gain a shield equal to 100% of your level for 1 turn, i.e. 200 points at level 200. Brakmarian Power: when you deal or take push damage, you gain 100 Power for 1 turn.

If both trigger in the same turn, the Eye of Nightmare activates: the damage you deal and the damage you take increase by 10% for 1 turn. Each effect triggers only once per turn.

How to get the Nightmare Dofus

The Nightmare Dofus is earned by completing the Eliocalypse: Reminiscence achievement, which groups 4 level 200 quests. Two start from Draconiros, in front of the Dofus receptacle at [21,-33] ; the others start with Kabaal, on the Atoll of the Possessed at [43,-57], and from Maimane, in the Destroyers' Nightmare at [2,4].

Before the first quest, you must be level 180 and have finished The Beginning of the End, the last quest of the “Destroyed” achievement. The real list is much longer: the series assumes you have done almost all the Eliocalypse quests, and The Weight of Its Gaze, The Wokening and Death and Renewal are required along the way.

The order of the achievement is a little misleading: Maimane's Totems is done in the middle of A Tormented Heritage, as soon as you have to craft the Rune of Harmony, because it gives the Totem of Balance needed for that crafting.

The 4 quests of the Eliocalypse: Reminiscence achievement

Tips

Prepare Strength and Wisdom before you start

In Dance of Dissonance, Julith the Butcher asks for 800 Strength or more, and the Grimacing King for exactly 0 Wisdom. If you have scrolled Wisdom, touch the Prismatic Pyramids in the Bonta Palace: the Momentary Dissonance curse removes 100 Wisdom from you for 2 fights.

Level up to miner level 10 before the third quest

The Virtues of Harmony can only be crafted in the miners' workshop in Terrdala, and cooperative crafting is impossible: you must be a level 10 miner yourself.

Prepare for the Fears fight

In Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Descendre, you fight the eight Fears solo. Prepare resistances, decent vitality and about 4,000 Initiative. If you are defeated, use the Spiritual Ambergris in front of Kabaal's dungeon to return to the ship.
