Nightmare Hunts are Strike-like short missions introduced in Shadowkeep.

Overview

Nightmare Hunts are unlocked by completing the Shadowkeep campaign. All of them can be launched from the Moon map, but only three out of eight are available each week. There are four difficulty levels, which determine the recommended Power Level and strength of the enemies, and add Champions and modifiers.

In each Hunt players fight through several groups of enemies on their way to a boss. The boss goes immune when dropped to a certain health value, and most of the time the players have to kill the Nightmare adds to be able to damage the boss again. While Nightmare Hunts use a score system and announce rewards for the amount of defeated Champions, there are no special rewards.

By defeating the boss, each player receives an Essence quest, which can be completed to obtain a piece of gear. It is also possible to receive Nightmare Mods and Rare gear as a reward.

Difficulties

The difficulties are roughly the same as in Nightfall: the Ordeal:

  • Adept — Show them the meaning of strength.
    • Matchmaking: ON;
    • Recommended Power: 860;
    • Modifiers: 1;
  • Hero — Be the hero you were born to be.
    • Matchmaking: ON;
    • Recommended Power: 970;
    • Modifiers: 4;
