Here is the way to spot the regular strikes

Here is the way to spot the regular strikes. Melee: The Nightmare will fling her arms behind her head and struck a nearby player facing here.So here is the deal: experienced players advocate keeping Protect from Magic up at all times in the fight and switching to Shield from Missiles the moment The Nightmare begins flinging a Ranged attack before switching back.

Why not Protect from Melee? Well, you can just back up as soon as it could hit in melee range, as you see it coming. You're also safe in the event the Nightmare is not facing you -- essentially, you can mitigate melee damage with solid positioning.Here's how to spot the special attacks and how to avoid them: Husks are basically tiny versions of The Nightmare that deal melee damage to the nearest player. These freeze the player, and spawn randomly.

The stadium is split into four quadrants, with only one being safe as indicated by flowers. If you're not standing in the secure quadrant, you will take damage over time and your strikes will cure The Nightmare instead of damage her.The Nightmare spawns black portals around the arena and will damage any player standing on these. The Nightmare summons Sleepwalkers who shuffle towards her. She'll deal damage with the number growing based on the amount of Sleepwalkers.

Your defense prayers shuffle to the right by one. The Nightmare occasionally chucks out a parasite in a random participant, and will grow over time and before exploding from the player, dealing damage and recovery The Nightmare until killed. You can weaken the parasite with a Sanfew Serum or the Balm of Relicym before it bursts out. The Nightmare teleports to one corner or the area then charges dealing damage to anyone caught in her path. Spores spawn if a player gets near it, exploding. It simplifies your own run and reduces your attack rate briefly.
