The Nightmare of the Fanatic appears as the final boss of the first and second Sever missions: Shame and Reconciliation. The encounters in both of them function identically to each other. | |||
After traversing the Underbelly of the Derelict Leviathan, the player will reach the Gauntlet, where Crow and the Nightmare of Uldren are waiting. You must then interact with the [[Nightmare Harvester]] to begin the Severance Ritual. Before beginning the encounter, the player may place a Rally Banner for them—and their [[Fireteam]] if they have one—to fully replenish their ammo and ability energy, if they need to do so. Once the ritual has begone, the Nightmare of Uldren will briefly torment Crow before the boss arrives the fight commences. It possesses the same abilities as it did in the previous battles. After you have dealt a small amount of damage to it, the Nightmare will teleport away, retreating into the Gauntlet's outer circle. A resonant Darkness portal will then appear for you to chase after it. | |||
After the player has entered the obstacle course, the boss will begin to make use of its "Wrath of the Scorn" ability, whilst summoning Nightmares and Scorn reinforcements to slow the player down as it attempts to run away from them. It will stop to fight when it comes to a wall half way through, and you will have brief opportunity to attack it before it teleports around it and continues to flee. It is important to pick up Unstable Essence that drop from dead Nightmares in order to maximize your damage output. Once the boss has reached the end of the obstacle course, you will have another short chance to drain its health as much as you can before it becomes immune and you are teleported back to the inner arena of the Gauntlet. Upon returning, multiple Scorn will spawn to and begin charging you. A [[Scythe]] will manifest at the Nightmare Harvester after the first wave of enemies is defeated, allowing you to deal with the rest more easily. Once they have all been eliminate, the portal to the outer area will reappear, allowing the player to go back to chasing the boss. You will have to repeat this process as many times as it takes to kill the Nightmare, but it will most likely only take two or three runs. Once the boss has been neutralized, the mission will be complete and you watch the final interaction between Crow an his Nightmare. The player may also open the chest to gain powerful gear if they have Bound Presence in their inventory. | |||
