Nightmare Acolytes are Nightmares that appear throught the Sol System.

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.
