Nightmare Crownless is a new Nightmare Overlord-class Echo in Wuthering Waves. Boasting increased Havoc and Basic Attack DMG, it's a valuable asset for specific character builds.

Like other Nightmare Echoes, Nightmare Crownless is obtained from its overworld location. However, unlocking access requires completing the "Ruins Where Shadows Roam" quest and an additional step. Follow these instructions to obtain this powerful Echo.

Ruins Where Shadows Roam Quest Guide

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

"Ruins Where Shadows Roam" is linked to the optional "Quest of Faith." This involves defeating four enemies in designated Penitent's End areas. Begin at the Resonance Beacon across the Wailing Ascent's broken bridge. Interact with the prompt near the circular arena beside the beacon to initiate a battle against a Questless Knight.

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

Unlocking Nightmare Crownless in Wuthering Waves

After completing "Ruins Where Shadows Roam" and "Quest of Faith," locate all four Dream Patrols in Penitent's End. While completion isn't mandatory for unlocking Nightmare Crownless, completing them yields additional resources and Monnaie. The image above shows their locations. Once located, Nightmare Crownless will appear on your map within the ruins north of Penitent's End.

Remember, Nightmare Echoes utilize Enhanced Absorption charges, significantly boosting drop rates. With a weekly limit of 15 charges, prioritize their use if you're developing multiple characters.
