Nightmare Echoes are enhanced versions of standard Echoes in Wuthering Waves, significantly impacting Resonator usage. Superior to their regular counterparts, acquiring them is crucial for maximizing character potential. This guide details what Nightmare Echoes are and how to obtain them.
Nightmare Echoes are alternate variants of 4-cost (Overlord-class) Echoes. They boast unique active skills and a percentage-based elemental damage boost, making them inherently more valuable than standard Echoes. This passive elemental damage bonus allows for a 441111 Echo composition, replacing a 3-cost Echo. Importantly, they retain the Sonata/Set effects of their regular counterparts, minimizing build adjustments.
Before embarking on your Nightmare Echo hunt, complete the "Dream Patrol I" quest in Rinascita. This tutorial quest is initiated by interacting with the White Cat in Ragunna City after finishing Act 2 Chapter 3 of the Rinascita main storyline.
"Dream Patrol I" unlocks access to Dream Patrols and reveals Nightmare Echo locations on your map. Their locations are:
| Nightmare Echo | Location |
|---|---|
| Feilian Beringal | Requiem Ravine |
| Thundering Mephis | Mistveil Bay |
| Tempest Mephis | Shores of Last Breath |
| Impermanence Heron | Twin Peaks |
| Inferno Rider | Averardo Vault - West |
| Mourning Aix | Averardo Vault - South |
| Crownless | Penitent's End |
Defeated Nightmare Echoes appear in the Echo Hunting section of your Guidebook. However, Nightmare Tempest Mephis and Nightmare Crownless require completing specific exploration quests:
Nightmare Tempest Mephis: "Where Wind Returns to Celestial Realms" – Locate and interact with a Lumiscale Construct in the ruins north of the Resonance Beacon south of Shores of Last Breath.
Nightmare Crownless: "Ruins Where Shadows Roam" – Access this quest via the Exploration Progress menu (Compass icon in the upper-left corner of your map screen) under Penitent's End.
Successfully defeating these challenging foes will add their powerful Nightmare Echoes to your collection, significantly enhancing your team's capabilities.
