The 26 quest steps

1. 1Talk to Draconiros

   Dialogue[21,-33] · Draconiros

   The quest starts right after the previous one, in front of the Dofus receptacle. The Mother of the Destroyers is waiting for you: the plan is to weaken her influence through her Nightmare. Draconiros cannot intervene himself and first sends you to help the Huppermages, whose Rok Island is in danger of collapsing.

   

2. 2Go to Rok Island

   Movement[-4,-2]

   Use the Huppermage platform to get to Rok Island.

3. 3Talk to Rimanda

   Dialogue[38,-21] · Rimanda

   The island's prismatic pyramids have fallen into dissonance. According to Rimanda, a bad dream is fueling the conflict between Bonta and Brakmar; Huppermages have already joined the nightmare, and a passage is said to be open in the Atoll of the Possessed.

   

4. 4Enter the nightmare

   Movement[43,-59]

   On the Atoll of the Possessed, click the Ch'Tyx Statue to enter the Destroyers' Nightmare area. Discovering the Dissonance Ritual map is one of the objectives.

   Access is blocked until you have performed the Dissonance Ritual: you need to start and complete the quest The Weight of Its Gaze.

   

5. 5Talk to Hogion

   Dialogue[0,3] · Hogion

   All the creatures in the area strengthen the nightmare, victims and tormentors alike, and attacking the spirit is pointless. Tell the Huppermage that the nightmare comes from the breaking of the Dofus' harmony, and that you know the spirit's name, which must not be spoken: a rune bearing that name could control it.

   Dialogue

   1. “Greet the Huppermage and talk about your meeting with Rimanda”

6. 6Write the name on the tablet

   [0,3] · Futhark the Runimancer

   Futhark the Runimancer hands you a tablet: write the spirit's name on it in your mind, with your hand resting on it. The name becomes a rune, but the rune remains incomplete: you need to know the nightmare's spirit better.

   • Incomplete Runereceived

7. 7Gather the items to wake the Twelvians

   Items

   Four steps let you get to know the adversary better, in any order you like. The first is to wake the sleeping Twelvians, on the maps where there is a Nightmare's Influence. First go back to the Twelve world to gather six items.

   • [-25,36] buy 1 Signed Brakmar Gobbowl Ball for 2,000 kamas, in the room to the left of the Brakmar arena
   • [-32,-59] buy 1 Signed Bonta Gobbowl Ball for 2,000 kamas, in the room to the left of the Bonta arena
   • [-29,-59] at the Bagrutte tavern, order a Legendary Whitebeerd Beer from Bagrutta Stonestomach for the Traumatised Stubbyob, 10,000 kamas

   Dialogue

   1. “Agree to pay 10,000 kamas for a mug of this legendary brew”

   You may need to meet the Traumatised Stubbyob first before you can order the beer. Also plan for 1 Rasputin Cake (level 30 Farmer: 10 Scurvion Seed, 5 Piece of Pippin Blop, 1 Bowl from the Brakmar or Bonta grocery, 3 Cherry), 1 Frosteez Bread or Tahde Bread, and 1 Drinking Water or Mimilk.

   • 14,000 kamasto pay
   • Signed Brakmar Gobbowl Ballreceived
   • Signed Bonta Gobbowl Ballreceived
   • Legendary Whitebeerd Beerreceived

8. 8Wake the gobbowlers

   Dialogue[4,3]

   Brakmarian and Bontarian Prisoners are playing gobbowl; in each team, one is asleep. Pinch each prisoner: if he answers Ouch, he is awake, if he doesn't react, he is asleep. Give him his team's gobbowl ball: on the Brakmar side, the Brakmarian Prisoner in the center left; on the Bonta side, the Bontarian Prisoner on the far right. The Nightmare's Influence must disappear from the map.

   Dialogue

   1. “Pinch the prisoner”
   2. “Give him a gobbowl ball signed by the Brakmar team”
   3. “Give him a gobbowl ball signed by the Bonta team”

   Don't pick the wrong prisoner, otherwise you have to buy a gobbowl ball again. Their position seems fixed, but check anyway.

   • 1 × Signed Brakmar Gobbowl Ballto give
   • 1 × Signed Bonta Gobbowl Ballto give

9. 9Wake the Traumatised Stubbyob

   [3,3] · Traumatised Stubbyob

   Find the secret passage behind the statue of the Brakmarian dictator: stand on the cell behind the statue's crotch. In the banquet hall of the Whitebeerd clan, give the Legendary Whitebeerd Beer to the Traumatised Stubbyob. Talk to the ghost King of Kings, who wonders why he took dessert four times, then show the Stubbyob the Rasputin Cake.

   • 1 × Legendary Whitebeerd Beerto give
   • 1 × Rasputin Caketo hand over

10. 10Listen to the two Srams

    Dialogue[3,3] · Brakmarian Poisoner

    Two Srams appear. The Brakmarian Poisoner reveals that Brakmar poisoned the Whitebeerd clan, which refused to pick a side in the Crimson Dawn war. The Corrupt Bontarian believes nothing would have happened if he had sided with Bonta. Talk to the Traumatised Stubbyob again: he remembers everything and disappears, along with the map's influence.

11. 11Wake the war orphans

    [2,4]

    Give 1 Drinking Water or 1 Mimilk to the Thirsty Orphan, then 1 Frosteez Bread or 1 Tahde Bread to the Hungry Orphan. The map's influence disappears.

    • 1 × Drinking Waterto hand over
    • 1 × Frosteez Breadto give

12. 12Defeat the Demolisher Trool

    Combat[2,2] · Demolisher Trool

    Two Trools are demolishing the stone bridge. Talk to a Demolisher Trool: a solo fight starts.

    Dialogue

    1. “Step in to protect the work”

    • Demolisher Troolfight · level 200 · 6,600 HP · 10 AP · 6 MP

13. 13Defeat the Builder Crackler

    Combat[2,2] · Builder Crackler

    The Builder Crackler has taken the Trools' place and is trying to rebuild the bridge. Talk to it: a solo fight starts. After the victory, the influence disappears. Once all four awakenings are done, the step Wake up the Twelvians caught in the conflict between the two cities is completed.

    Dialogue

    1. “Put a stop to the works”

    • Builder Cracklerfight · level 200 · 11,000 HP · 12 AP · 5 MP

14. 14Collect 30 Nightmare Web

    Items

    To fight the Destroyers haunting the place, defeat 30 monsters of the Destroyers' Nightmare: the Nightmare Web drops at a base rate of 100%. Then double-click the webs in your quest inventory to complete the step.

    First start Soaring Demongraphy, which requires 15 monsters of each kind, and Nightmare on Elm Boulevard up to the Demon Blood step: their fights take place in the same area.

    • Nightmare Webreceived

15. 15Sense the spirit of the Great Krackal

    Dialogue[1,3] · Great Krackal

    Click the skeleton in its rocking chair to make the spirit of the Great Krackal appear, then talk to it. The beast tries to intimidate you, but you catch a glimpse of Medoroziam's influence before it disappears.

    Dialogue

    1. “Try to sense the true nature of the beast”

    It would take a certain number of vitality points to make the Great Krackal disappear; this is not confirmed.

16. 16Sense the spirit of Julith the Butcher

    Dialogue[1,1] · Julith the Butcher

    Click the pile of bones on the ground: Julith the Butcher appears. Talk to her to feel the power of the nightmare in her voice.

    Dialogue

    1. “Try to sense the true nature of the legendary Huppermage”

    You need 800 Strength or more before talking to her, otherwise she draws a sword.

17. 17Prepare for the Grimacing King

    Movement[-37,-61] · Prismatic Pyramids

    You need exactly 0 Wisdom to talk to the Grimacing King. If you have scroll points in Wisdom, go all the way to the back of the Bonta Palace, to the top of the small tower. Stand on a cell adjacent to the Prismatic Pyramids and touch them: the curse Momentary Dissonance removes 100 Wisdom and 20% Critical for 2 fights.

    Dialogue

    1. “Touch the pyramids”

18. 18Sense the spirit of the Grimacing King

    Dialogue[0,1] · Grimacing King

    In the nightmare, find the secret passage behind the statue of the king of Bonta: stand on the cell behind his left knee. Click the throne of madness to make the Grimacing King appear. Remove all equipment that gives Wisdom, then talk to him: he no longer trusts anyone. Once you have met the three spirits, the step is completed.

    Dialogue

    1. “Try to sense the true nature of this sinister sovereign”

19. 19Let the dead rest in peace

    Combat[3,1] · Wimpy Dead

    The Wimpy Dead is about to go through a machine that turns people into chafers. Talk to him: a fight in 3 waves starts, which can be done with other players. Winning completes the step.

    Dialogue

    1. “Try to stem the proliferation of chafers”

    At 41 HP, each chafer becomes an invulnerable Bonheap, which can only die from push damage. If it plays again in this form, it turns back into a chafer with 800 Bonus Damage.

    • Corpse in Pantsfight · level 200 · 4,400 HP · 7 AP · 5 MP

20. 20Complete the rune

    Once the four steps are complete, double-click the Incomplete Rune in your quest inventory. The rune is now complete, and a call can be felt in the distance: you obtain a Demonic Nightmare Rune.

    • Demonic Nightmare Runereceived

21. 21Defeat The Eternal Conflict

    Combat[1,0] · Aurora Horror

    Talk to the Horror of the Dawn, who invites you to enter the Battle of the Crimson Dawn dungeon. Reach the boss and defeat The Eternal Conflict.

    Before entering, start A Rolling Pin Gathers No Moss: its toy drops only from the Demolochs in the dungeon, at a base rate of 10%.

    • The Eternal Conflictfight · level 220 · 20,000 to 31,000 HP · 20 AP · 4 MP

22. 22Challenge the Destroyers' Nightmare

    Combat[1,0] · Destroyers' Nightmare

    Don't leave the dungeon right away: talk to the Destroyers' Nightmare. It makes you feel the emotions of Hyrkul, left for dead by Ulgrude and then turned into a lich by a black dragon's fire. Brandish the rune: it reduces it to dust with a swipe of its claw. It forms a whole with other souls on which it feeds, and you notice a source of power at the bottom of this river of emotions.

    Dialogue

    1. “Try to find out more about him and this place”
    2. “Brandish the rune as a talisman and command it to obey you”

23. 23Find the way to the source of power

    Movement[4,0]

    Click the giant maw visible in the crevice. It is impossible to go down there safely: only those who feed the infernal spirit can. You have to steal offerings from the nourishing demons.

24. 24Collect 12 Visceral Fear

    Combat

    Each Nourishing Demon fought gives one Visceral Fear. Talk to a Nourishing Demon to start the fight, which can be done with other players.

    • [4,1] fight against 2 Nourishing Demon
    • [2,1] fight against 3 Nourishing Demon
    • [0,2] fight against 1 Nourishing Demon
    • [1,4] fight against 4 Nourishing Demon

    Dialogue

    1. “Attack the demons”

    There are fewer than 12 demons in the area: you need to redo some fights. They respawn about every 10 minutes and are shared by all characters on the server.

    • Nourishing Demonfight · level 200 · 8,800 HP · 18 AP · 8 MP
    • Visceral Fearreceived

25. 25Feed the nightmare

    [4,0]

    Click the maw again to feed the nightmare, and go down toward the source of power, which strangely resembles a Dofus. Click on it: it is impossible to move, protected by symbols reminiscent of Kabaal's mark.

    • 12 × Visceral Fearto give

26. 26Confront Kabaal

    Dialogue[43,-57] · Kabaal

    On the Atoll of the Possessed, ask Na'Hama to take you before Kabaal, then talk to him. This Dofus was not laid by a dragon: it is his work, one of his greatest achievements. Make him understand that, if you cannot master it, you will be forced to destroy it. The quest ends.

    Dialogue

    1. “Demand to be taken before Kabaal”
    2. “Take him at his word and say you have decided to ignore some rules”
