  The Nightmare of Ashihama is an interesting boss with quite a few unique mechanics. First , the Nightmare is focused on attacking players with the strongest melee defense, so it may be logical for your group to choose a main tank. Nightmare is also able to attack with the three styles of combat using prayer. However, prayers of protection do lessen some of the damage.

  
  

   

  
  

  
  The Nightmare of Ashihama is a part of the Morytania expansion. It can provide fantastic rewards to those willing to face this mysterious danger...

  
  

   

  
  

  
  New Group Boss

  
  

  
  The creature commonly referred to as the nightmare is believed to have come from the distant island of Ashihama. The creature was afflicting the local inhabitants as well as the sirens for quite a while before finally, a brave leader who was a siren Shura was able to commit herself to gather other sirens and get rid of this terrible evil for good.

  
  

   

  
  

  
  The nightmare was able to escape and was lured toward Slepe, Morytania. While not native to the swamps of this area, the creature found the town that was which was suffering from the sleeper plague.

  
  

   

  
  

  
  Nightmare Loot

  
  

  
  Residents of Gielinor who will be brave enough to stand against the vile beast will not only gain the gratitude of Morytanians as well as new rewards. The mere act of gratitude will not protect you from the brutal blows of your adversaries. However, the armor of the Inquisitor will.

  
  

   

  
  

  
  The boss is known for dropping one of the highest priced OSRS items, so it's very popular among gold farmers and people looking to grab a piece from that prize, since it's possible to earn over 500dollars from the sale of runescape gold by just acquiring an expensive item , like this one.

  
  

   

  
  

  
  For Requirements: 70 Strength 30 Defence

  
  

   

  
  

  
  We can tell that this armor will not be the latest best-in-slot defense gear. Its defense bonus is on par with obsidian armor, or even better. But the crush bonus is quite powerful and the overall set of armor will fill a need for certain builds of characters. Additionally, combining the armor with the brand new Inquisitor's mace could produce devastating results in combat against monsters vulnerable to crush attacks.

  
  

   

  
  

  
  Requirements: 75 Attack

  
  

   

  
  

  
  The Inquisitor's Mace appears to be the crush twin brother of Ghrazi rapier. This makes it a top-of-the-line crush weapon. Since this mace is an all-hand weapon, you are able to use it as a defensive weapon with an off-hand slot.

  
  

   

  
  

  
  If you're reading this and are an expert in magic, there will be treats for you as well. You have not been forgotten. Along with brave knights, players who use magic will also get new magic weapons that have special attacks (there are a few of those currently available in game!)

  
  

   

  
  

  
  Requirements The requirements are: 65 Magic, 50 Hitpoints

  
  

   

  
  

  
  The staff of the nightmare can be further enhanced using one of the three orbs which can increase bonuses of the staff, and raise the necessary Magic levels to up to the level of 75. Three types of staves are:

  
  

   

  
  

  
  Harmonised nightmare staff

  
  

  
  Eldrich nightmare staff

  
  

  
  Volatile nightmare staff

  
  

  
  The rewards for the beta have changed throughout the beta.

  
  

   

  
  

  
  These figures are just to serve as a guideline of how the improved staves will function. This could be subject to further changes , and we'll start seeing the exact numbers after the Nightmare release, and perhaps in the future Jagex might decide to change bonuses as patches come out.

  
  

   

  
  

  
  The final reward from the Nightmare includes the siren's Tome.

  
  

   

  
  

  
  This item has been at the news for a while and controversy related to it. Intended as the best-in-slot off-hand item for wizards, it was quickly reduced in value. While it passed the poll even with all the controversy, on December 12th Jagex stated that they will not be adding Siren's Tome to the game at all.

  
  

   

  
  

  
  This means the Arcane Spirit Shield will remain the not-crowned king of the magic off-hand slot at least for now.

  
  

   

  
  

  
  The new features are exciting and we are eager to see how players use the new equipment and how it's going to affect the game. The changescan sometimes be a bit overwhelming. The only constant that remains constant is the requirement for OSRS gold.

  
  

   

  
  

  
  The items can be traded and if you're in a hurry to talk to the boss by yourself An influx of coins will allow you to remain competitive.

  
  

   

  
  

  
  Getting What You Are Getting

  
  

   

  
  

  
  From the techniques we've dissected, Nightmare has three phases. First is where she does the usual attacks. She also has a shield, which is necessary to eliminate to get to Phase 2. For Phase 2 and up to 3, you need to take down the pillars as well as the sleepwalkers.

  
  

   

  
  

  
  After you've defeated The Nightmare, aside from OSRS gold, you'll be receiving hefty rewards when you take out a certain amount damage to her. In the case of the MVP, the winner will be awarded an individual reward. In addition, anyone who made a significant contributions will be awarded the pet, jar, and scroll drops.

  
  

   

  
  

  
  The best odds of obtaining them are The Inquisitor's Armor as well as Mace, in addition to The Nightmare Staff, which you can put orbs (Harmonious Eldritch, Harmonious and Volatile) on to give it a specific bonus.

  
  

   

  
  

  
  This is all you need to know to put an end to The Nightmare. What are you sitting on? Visit Slepe and let that desire to take down the boss of raids!
