Shoutout to Birdman137 for taking on this Nightmare quest and making the ultimate sacrifice of doing the Nightmare Nin-in-Eilph scenario overview next. Your efforts are appreciated! -Durin's Father When Daan asked if anyone would be willing to help review the Nightmare quests for the Ringmaker cycle, I knew I wanted to help out. I’ve done … Continue reading Nightmare Trouble in Tharbad
It's time to crack the final cycle of Nightmare scenarios on the blog. Hopefully, I manage to finish the NM Ringmaker cycle before the end of the year, though I won't be keeping to a strict deadline. I hope to finish a scenario per month. That way, 2027 will allow me to tackle (NM) Hobbit … Continue reading Nightmare Fords of Isen
This quest is the perfect cross-section of the Dream-chaser cycle; it just misses some Uncharted locations. But aside from that, it has it all. Sailing, a boss-fight at sea, Corsair enemies stealing resources, and all culminating in a final showdown with Sahir for like the 7th time this cycle. But in the Nightmare mode, he … Continue reading Nightmare City of Corsairs
Well, the time of the fun and easy quests is over. And since nobody stepped up to do these hard quests for me, I suppose I will have to try and come up with strategies for a Nightmare quest I have never personally beaten. Raid on the Grey Havens is a tough quest that puts … Continue reading Nightmare Raid on the Grey Havens
It has been a while since my last Nightmare scenario analysis, hasn't it? I have used this time to work on the new book, and with the bulk of the text now finished, I can use the time I'd normally spend on that, on some more articles instead! We are in the process of going … Continue reading Nightmare Flight of the Stormcaller
I know this is not in sequence, but I had to jump (to) the shark! The Drowned Ruins is, for many players, a moment in the cycle where they can take a break, slowly build up their board state, and then rush through to the end. In the original version, nothing is stopping you from … Continue reading Nightmare The Drowned Ruins
Having completed the NM Angmar Awakened cycle, we will focus our efforts on the Dreamchaser cycle. With the first quest, Voyage Across Belegaer, it was always the intent of the designers to ease the players into the new mechanics, getting to learn how to work with Ship objectives/enemies and the Sailing keyword. For the Nightmare … Continue reading Nightmare Voyage Across Belegaer
When reading the flavour text of this scenario, you realize that this is probably the lowest point that your heroes will get to throughout the entire game. Having been starved and tortured for weeks in the cells under the mountain, they have nearly given up hope. And we're about to make it even harder for … Continue reading Nightmare Escape from Mount Gram
With winter creeping closer day by day, it is time to revisit one of the best quests from this cycle: The Wastes of Eriador. This quest is notorious for being quite difficult in its regular version, thanks to the Day/Night mechanic that limits your progress and brings out more enemies each other turn. But the … Continue reading Nightmare The Wastes of Eriador
To conclude the Lost Realm box, we change our enemies from Orcs to Undead. In the regular version of this quest, you are swarmed with ghosts and reanimated corpses, and I can inform you now that the Nightmare version of this quest does not change that a lot. So, with Halloween around the corner, be … Continue reading Nightmare Deadmen’s Dike
