Diablo Immortal: Ancient Nightmare Guide and Tips
Altars in the Ancient Nightmare event must be activated correctly. Activate altars when the Ancient Nightmare is within range of its light for a stun. This gives each player extra time to damage the shield. You don’t need to use cooldowns against the shield as higher damage won’t damage it faster. Use Zakarum Sigils, if you have them, for the second activation of the altar, and allow players without sigils to complete the first activation for free. If you choose to time it early, you will miss the opportunity to stun the boss. Most likely, other players will hate you for this mistake.
Activating each altar costs 1 Zakarum Mark. The Nightmare’s shield can be seen on the left side of the screen in the quest section.
The ranges of the altars are shown, as usual, by yellow circles on the ground, and the distance to the next altar and the direction to it is shown with a special marker.
Diablo Immortal: Ancient Nightmare Boss
The Ancient Nightmare boss is a Demon, as indicated by the corresponding icon to the right of his health bar. His title may vary; for example, he may be “Peeker” and “Hatred’s Fall.” The boss has two health bars and is easy to kill in a group. You only need to deal damage to him once to get the final reward.
By the way, after killing this boss for the first time in the event, you will get a red vessel for the Horadrim Sanctuary – Nilfur’s Precision, which can be inserted into the altar and strengthen your character. If you have this first vessel, you will start the Legacy of the Horadtim quest and unlock the altar to improve your stats.
The Ancient Nightmare event on Mount Zawain is well worth planning your schedule for. Try to catch several events with different difficulty levels.
The Diablo Immortal game is now in Open Beta for mobile via Android, iOS, and PC through Battle.net.
