Nightmare Crucible

The wiki is still filling in this guide, so it may be short or missing steps. You can add what you know there.

The Nightmare Crucible is a combat activity found within the Umbral Sands region of Ashenfall. It is meant to act akin to RuneScape's Dominion Tower and Old School RuneScape's Nightmare Zone in where the 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 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 ranged or 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.

Bug:

Within the Nightmare Crucible of Helplessness, if the player is against the outer wall, there is a possibility of the Green Dragon spawning outside of render distance. If this happens, the Nightmare Crucible will complete without the Green Dragon being slain provided the Green Dragon never renders.
