The Nightmare

You can kill The Nightmare to receive the inquisitor's armour set, the

Inquisitor's mace

, the

Nightmare staff

, and the 3 orbs that can be combined with the nightmare staff:

Harmonised orb

Eldritch orb

, and

Volatile orb

. Phosani's nightmare is also available to kill, see below.

While killing The Nightmare, your minion has a chance to die. This chance is affected by your kc and gear. Your chance of death has a maximum of 90%, and a minimum of 2%.

Type of Trip

You are able to send solo mass nightmare trips. The other party members are basically clones of your minion, so your boosts and penalties are mimicked to them. This also means that not all uniques will be in your name, as other members have the same chance at unique drops.

To start a solo Nightmare trip, use

/k name: Solo nightmare

To start a mass Nightmare trip, use

/k name: Mass nightmare

Boosts and Penalties

There are certain boosts and penalties given based on specific stats and gear. They are as follows:

Total KC

0-9 - 15% speed penalty - In masses, having less than 10kc gives a 20% damage reduction.

10-24 - 5% speed penalty

25-49 - 2% speed penalty

50-99 - 2% speed increase

100+ - 4% speed increase

Crush Attack Stat

Less than 65 crush attack - 5% speed penalty

Essentially, any weapon weaker than a

Zamorakian hasta

will incur this penalty.

In masses, your damage output will be halved if you have lower than 65 crush attack.

In masses, your damage output will be doubled if using an

Inquisitor's mace

Melee Strength Bonus

Less than 40% of maximum strength bonus (<82) - 6% speed penalty

Between 40-49% of maximum strength bonus (83-102) - 3% speed penalty

Between 50-59% of maximum strength bonus (103-123) - 2% speed penalty

The maximum melee strength bonus is 204. Anything above 123 will not incur these penalties.

Inquisitor Items Equipped

Solos: 2% boost per piece (10% boost if all 4 items are equipped)

Masses: 0.5% boost per piece (3% boost if all 4 items are equipped)

Having an

Elysian spirit shield

equipped in your melee setup will also reduce food usage by 17.5%. However, this is outweighed by the food reduction of using an

Elder maul

or a

Dragon defender

Phosani's Nightmare

Phosani's Nightmare is a more difficult, solo-only version of The Nightmare of Ashihama. It drops the same items as the normal Nightmare, as well as the

Parasitic egg

and the

Slepey tablet

. While unique items are rarer from Phosani's Nightmare than they are from the regular Nightmare, Phosani's Nightmare can be killed significantly faster, capping out at 2kc per trip (4kc if patreon).

To kill Phosani's Nightmare, use

/k name: Phosani's Nightmare

BiS Gear
