How to Unlock Nightmare Crownless in WuWa

Nightmare Crownless stands out as one of the new Nightmare versions of Overlord-class Echoes in Wuthering Waves. This formidable echo enhances your gameplay with bonus Havoc DMG and Basic Attack DMG, making it a prime choice for select characters.

To encounter Nightmare Crownless, you'll need to farm it from its designated overworld spawn point. However, before you can challenge this formidable spear wielder, you must first complete the Ruins Where Shadows Roam quest, followed by an additional step. Here’s how to unlock Nightmare Crownless.

Ruins Where Shadows Roam Quest Guide

The Ruins Where Shadows Roam quest is unique within Wuthering Waves. Instead of being initiated by an NPC or an interactable object, you'll find it in the Exploration Progress menu for the Penitent's End region in Rinascita. Access this by opening your map and selecting the compass icon located on the upper-left side, adjacent to your current location's name.

This quest is closely linked with the optional Quest of Faith, which requires you to defeat four enemies in designated areas of Penitent's End. Start by heading to the Resonance Beacon across the broken bridge in Wailing Ascent. Interact with the prompt near the circular arena by the beacon to initiate a battle against a Questless Knight, reminiscent of those in the Silver Moon? Crimson Moon? quest.

To vanquish these knights, you must lure them close to a lit Macabre Torch within the arena. These torches can be reignited by enticing Fae Ignis enemies to strike them. Exercise caution and avoid using powerful skills near the torches, as they might extinguish them.

How to Unlock Nightmare Crownless in WuWa

After successfully completing both Ruins Where Shadows Roam and Quest of Faith, your next task is to locate all four Dream Patrols within Penitent's End. While completing these challenges isn't mandatory for unlocking Nightmare Crownless, doing so will reward you with additional resources and Monnaie in WuWa. Refer to the image above for the locations of these Dream Patrols. Once you've found all the patrols, Nightmare Crownless will appear on your map, located in the ruins north of Penitent's End.

Keep in mind that Nightmare Echoes require Enhanced Absorption charges, which boost the drop rate of Echoes. You're allocated only 15 of these charges weekly, so use them wisely if you're aiming to enhance multiple characters.
