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

Nightmare Crownless, a potent Nightmare version of the Overlord-class Echo in Honkai: Star Rail's Wuthering Waves, boasts enhanced Havoc and Basic Attack DMG. This guide details how to unlock it. Unlike standard Echoes, acquiring Nightmare Crownless requires completing a specific quest and an additional step.

Obtaining Nightmare Crownless: A Step-by-Step Guide

1. Unlocking Ruins Where Shadows Roam:

This quest isn't initiated through an NPC. 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. This optional quest involves defeating four enemies in designated Penitent's End areas. Begin by interacting with the prompt near the circular arena adjacent to the Resonance Beacon (located across the broken bridge in Wailing Ascent). This triggers a battle against a Questless Knight.

Defeating these knights requires strategic positioning. Lure them near lit Macabre Torches within the arena. These torches can be re-lit by maneuvering Fae Ignis enemies to strike them. Avoid using powerful skills near the torches to prevent accidental extinguishment.

3. Locating Dream Patrols:

Once Ruins Where Shadows Roam and Quest of Faith are complete, locate all four Dream Patrols in Penitent's End. While completing these patrols isn't mandatory to unlock Nightmare Crownless, they provide additional resources and Monnaie. Their locations are shown in the image below.

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

4. Resource Management:

Remember that Nightmare Echoes utilize Enhanced Absorption charges, boosting Echo drop rates. The weekly limit is 15 charges, so allocate them strategically if you're developing multiple characters.

This comprehensive guide ensures you can efficiently acquire Nightmare Crownless and harness its power in Honkai: Star Rail.
