The event takes place in three of four areas of The Castellum, each corresponding to an entrance to a part of the ship. The event will begin in front of either The Royal Pools, The Royal Gardens, or the Gauntlet and will make their way to one of the other two locations, progressively getting more difficult, before ending in a boss battle that always takes place in front of the entrance to [[Emperor Calus]]'s Throne Room. Each Nightmare Containment consists of three tiers with four phases each. | |||
