The Nightmare of Ashihama
I. Information
The Nightmare of Ashihama, often simply referred to as The Nightmare, is a large, otherworldly horror who feeds on the life force of sleeping people, giving her victims horrible nightmares until their life force is completely drained and expires.
Players can also fight Phosani's Nightmare, a much stronger version of the boss that can only be fought solo. Players must have at least 1 kill count at The Nightmare before they can fight Phosani's. More at Phosani's Nightmare can be found at the bottom of the guide.
50 combat is the only requirement to fight The Nightmare, however, higher stats and gear are recommended. 1 to 80 players can join to fight The Nightmare at a time, her stats and hitpoints scaling to the number of players in the room.
Once the fight has begun, no more players are able to enter the room until she has been defeated. All players that meet the minimum damage threshold will be eligible to receive loot but the player that deals the most damage (MVP) will receive a significant boost to their reward. The MVP is signified by receiving Big bones with their drop.
This fight is a dangerous death for hardcore ironmen. Dying here will result in losing hardcore status.
If a player dies during the fight, lost items will be kept by Shura. They can be reclaimed from Shura for a fee of 250,000 GP. Shura can be found near the entrance to the Nightmare's Dream Realm.
Note that if a player dies a second time anywhere without reclaiming their items from Shura anything she was holding will be permanently lost. (This excludes safe minigames such as the Fight Caves, Inferno, etc.)
