Dragonwilds:Nightmare Crucible: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 11:01, 16 September 2026

The Nightmare Crucible is a combat activity found within the Dragonwilds:Umbral Sands region of Ashenfall. It is meant to act akin to Template:RSL's Template:RSL and Template:OSL's Template:OSL in where the Dragonwilds:player fights against all of the toughest enemies Ashenfall has to offer thus far.

To unlock a Nightmare Crucible, the player must use a corresponding item, called an Engram, whose title matches the Crucible of interest. An Engram only provides a single attempt to a given Crucible: - Single player: win or lose, the crucible will re-lock once the player enters it once. - Multiplayer: The crucible will only remain open as long as at least one player remains in it.

If the player dies while inside a Crucible, their Dragonwilds:gravestone will appear outside the crucible entrance.

The interior of Nightmare Crucibles are wide open, flat areas with almost no obstacles, save for the small Reward Pedestal in the center, and no safe spots for Dragonwilds:ranged or Dragonwilds:magic users. There is enough space to run around the arena in a circle and fight enemies from afar, but there is nowhere to hide. It is sometimes possible, depending on the player's positioning, to attract the attention of only a subset of the enemies in a given Crucible at a time.

Rewards

Enemies in Nightmare Crucibles do not drop anything upon defeat.

Upon killing all monsters in the Nightmare Crucible, one Dragonwilds:ascension core is rewarded by interacting with the reward pedestal. In multiplayer sessions, additional players do not receive additional ascension cores. In general, one engram corresponds to one ascension core, assuming the crucible is cleared.

Note: Currently there is a bug where if Dragonwilds:Buddy, summoned from the Pharaoh's Sceptre special attack, is alive, the challenge is not counted as completed. Player must wait for Buddy to despawn for the challenge to complete.

You can despawn Buddy by casting your special with the pharaoh's sceptre
