Dreamer/Nightmare

  • Location: Ward 17

The Dreamer/Nightmare is the final boss of the base Remnant From The Ashes game. You can find this boss in Ward 17. There are two phases to this one, and you will want to target the chest on Nightmare and the Head on Dreamer.

A good strategy is melting the Dreamer as soon as possible with a strong single-shot weapon like the Hunting Rifle or Sniper. In phase two, you’ll periodically be teleported into The Abyss.

Killing enemies in The Abyss will grant you damage stacks, but the longer you’re in there the more damage you take. Kill 5-10 enemies and go into the portal to escape, and then cast a buffed up Hive Swarm to melt him.

  • Normal kill: Killing Dreamer/Nightmare rewards you with Dreamer’s Mana which can be turned into Repulsor. You’ll also get Orb of Undoing and Mind’s Eye trait.

Killing Ixillis will grant you Guardian Heart no matter which way you kill him.

  1. Normal kill – Focusing one Ixillis down before the other grants you Hivestone, which can be turned into Hive Cannon.
  2. Alternate kill – Defeating both Ixillis XV and Ixillis XVI at the same time or in rapid succession will grant you Guardian Tentacle. This item can be turned into Guardian Axe.

His attacks are very slow and easy to telegraph, but they will hit you like a truck. He also spawns adds throughout the fight but ends up killing them himself if you just kite them around.

  1. Normal kill – Killing The Unclean one in the normal way will award you with the Unclean Heart which can be turned into The Devestator.
  2. Alternate kill – Sneak into the room and interact with one of the jars on the ground. Hiding in there activates the alternate fight sequence. This method rewards you with Hammerhead’s Ore which can be turned into the Butcher’s Flail.

  1. Normal kill – Killing The Ravager normally will rewards you with Tentacle Pod which can be turned into Curse of The Jungle God pistol.
  2. Alternate kill – Playing the lullaby causes this boss to go passive and not fight you. You can then talk to him and he will give you Stalker’s Claw which can be turned into Scar of The Jungle God.
