Nightmare Dungeons

The classic dungeons again, harder, with Elite monsters. Open one with Nightmare Keys.

  • 85Base Level per member
  • 1+players

Introduction

A Nightmare Dungeon is a harder version of a classic Ragnarok dungeon, filled with Elite Monsters. It brings back the old dungeons, at a much higher difficulty.

  • 85 minimum Base Level for every party member
  • 5 ~ 50 Nightmare Keys to open one, depending on the difficulty
  • 24 h cooldown

How to get in?

  1. Get Nightmare Keys (see below).
  2. Go to the entrance of the dungeon: the Nightmare entrance is there.
  3. Open the instance: the party leader creates it. A party of 1 player is enough, and each member must be at least Base Level 85.

Getting Nightmare Keys

MvPs

Every MvP killed has a chance to drop keys (table below).

Field Mini-Bosses

Mini-Bosses of the Midgard North fields drop them at 1~5%, depending on the area.

Dungeon Mini-Bosses

Mini-Bosses of the Midgard North dungeons drop them at 10%.

Nightmare King

In Midgard City, he gives you Nightmare Keys for the items in the table below.
