Unlock the Secrets of Wuthering Waves: Unveiling the Crownless Nightmare

Accessing Nightmare Crownless in Honkai: Star Rail's Wuthering Waves

Nightmare Crownless, a formidable Nightmare-tier Echo in Honkai: Star Rail's Wuthering Waves, boasts enhanced Havoc and Basic Attack DMG, making it a coveted asset for specific characters. Unlike standard Echoes, acquiring Nightmare Crownless requires completing the "Ruins Where Shadows Roam" quest and an additional step.

Obtaining Nightmare Crownless: A Step-by-Step Guide

This guide details the process of unlocking Nightmare Crownless.

1. Unlocking "Ruins Where Shadows Roam":

This quest isn't initiated through an NPC or world interaction. Instead, locate it within the Exploration Progress menu for the Penitent's End region in Rinascita. Access this menu via the compass icon in the upper-left corner of your map.

2. Completing "Ruins Where Shadows Roam" and "Quest of Faith":

"Ruins Where Shadows Roam" is intrinsically linked to "Quest of Faith," an optional quest. To begin "Quest of Faith," proceed to the Resonance Beacon across the broken bridge in Wailing Ascent. Interact with the prompt near the circular arena adjacent to the beacon. This triggers a battle against a Questless Knight.

Defeating these knights requires strategic positioning. Lure them near lit Macabre Torches within the arena. Reignite extinguished torches by using Fae Ignis enemies. Avoid using high-damage skills near the torches to prevent accidental extinguishment.

3. Locating the Dream Patrols:

Once "Ruins Where Shadows Roam" and "Quest of Faith" are completed, locate all four Dream Patrols in Penitent's End. While completing these patrols isn't mandatory for unlocking Nightmare Crownless, doing so provides additional resources and Monnaie. Refer to the image below for their locations.

After finding all four patrols, Nightmare Crownless will appear on your map within the ruins north of Penitent's End.

4. Utilizing Enhanced Absorption Charges:

Remember that Nightmare Echoes utilize Enhanced Absorption charges, significantly boosting drop rates. Players receive a limited number (15) of these charges weekly. Conserve them if you're developing multiple characters.

By following these steps, you can successfully unlock and farm Nightmare Crownless in Honkai: Star Rail's Wuthering Waves.
