Gameplay

Nightmare Acolytes appear in activities featuring Nightmares and Hive. They often manifest in groups, in support of more powerful Nightmares, like the Nightmare of Phogoth, the Untamed^[1] or in Lost Sectors as guards for the final boss^[2], or escorting VIP Nightmares^[3]. While they can be dangerous if ignored, defeating them rewards the players with an Unstable Essence, which they can use to increase the damage they deal to other Nightmares.
