The Nightmare

You can kill The Nightmare to receive the Inquisitor's armour set, the Inquisitor's mace , the Nightmare staff , and the three 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 or fake mass Nightmare trips. The other party members are 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 fake 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 10 KC 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.
  • 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.
• 40–49% of maximum strength bonus (83–102): 3% speed penalty.
• 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 from the regular Nightmare, Phosani's Nightmare can be killed significantly faster, capping out at 2 KC per trip (4 KC if Patreon).

To kill Phosani's Nightmare, use /k name:Phosani's Nightmare.

Phosani's Nightmare requires at least 50 KC at normal Nightmare.

Boosts

For the staff boost, you can only have one. The bot will check for an equipped Tumeken's shadow first, followed by an equipped Sanguinesti staff , and if neither of those are met, the bank is checked for a Harmonised nightmare staff .

• 6% for Tumeken's shadow (must be equipped and charged in mage setup, uses 70 charges per kill)

• 15% for Slepey tablet (guaranteed at 100 KC)

You must use the tablet for the boost to apply: /use item:Slepey tablet

BiS Gear

Your melee gear will provide a boost up to 13.2%. This boost is based on each piece of BiS gear you have equipped, with each piece giving 1.2%. Equipping anything that is not BiS will not grant the 1.2% boost for that slot. Rada's blessing 4 is BiS for the ammo slot; all other blessings will not suffice.
