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

Nightmare Crownless, a formidable 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.

Obtaining Nightmare Crownless: A Step-by-Step Guide

Unlocking Nightmare Crownless requires completing the "Ruins Where Shadows Roam" quest and an additional step.

1. Completing "Ruins Where Shadows Roam"

Unlike typical quests, "Ruins Where Shadows Roam" isn't initiated by an NPC. Instead:

  • Access your map.
  • Locate the compass icon (top-left).
  • Navigate to the Penitent's End region's Exploration Progress menu. The quest will be listed there.

2. Completing "Quest of Faith" (Optional, but Recommended)

"Quest of Faith" is an optional quest, but completing it is strongly recommended for increased resource acquisition. This quest involves defeating four enemies in specific Penitent's End locations. Begin by interacting with the prompt near the circular arena by the Resonance Beacon (across the broken bridge in Wailing Ascent). This initiates a battle against a Questless Knight.

Defeating the Knights requires strategic positioning: lure them near lit Macabre Torches. These torches can be re-lit by using Fae Ignis enemies. Avoid using powerful attacks near the torches to prevent extinguishing them.

3. Locating the Dream Patrols

After completing "Ruins Where Shadows Roam" (and optionally, "Quest of Faith"), locate all four Dream Patrols within Penitent's End. Their locations are shown in the image above. While completing these patrols isn't mandatory for unlocking Nightmare Crownless, doing so provides additional resources and Monnaie.

Once all four Dream Patrols are found, 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, which significantly boost drop rates. Players are limited to 15 charges per week, so plan your farming strategy accordingly.

This comprehensive guide ensures you'll successfully unlock and farm Nightmare Crownless in Honkai: Star Rail's Wuthering Waves.
