The '''Nightmare''' is an instanced boss fought alone or with other players. Break her shield, charge the four totems and deal with the creatures and hazards between stages.

== Access and preparation ==
Choose '''Nightmare''' in [[Teleports Menu|Sarim Hub]], then '''Disturb''' the Nightmare. Start a new instance or join a friend's instance by name. Cannon parts cannot be brought inside. Use the energy barrier and confirm to leave.

Bring food, Prayer restoration and a weapon for attacking both the boss and the totems.

== Fight ==
Attack the Nightmare until the shield-failure message appears. Switch to the four activated totems and attack them until all four are fully charged. Their attacks damage the Nightmare; return to her when the next shield stage begins. Kill the sleepwalkers during the transitions.

* Match '''Protect from Magic''' or '''Protect from Missiles''' to her ordinary attack. The matching prayer blocks that hit.
* Step off marked claw tiles before the delayed strike.
* When the curse message appears, check your active protection prayer: the curse changes it.
* Keep away from spores. Moving close to one turns run off, which can disrupt your next dodge.

== Drops ==
Deal at least '''100 damage to the Nightmare''' and remain in the room to qualify for personal loot. Each eligible player receives '''two base reward rolls''', one ash and 100,000–150,000 coins at their feet. Extra-roll effects can increase the number of rolls.

These are notable ordinary-mode rewards per reward roll; Lucklocked uses its reward conversion.
