Ruins Where Shadows Roam Quest Guide

This isn't a typical quest; it's found within the Penitent's End region's Exploration Progress menu (accessed via the compass icon in the upper-left of your map). It's closely tied to the optional "Quest of Faith," which involves defeating four enemies in specific Penitent's End locations.

To start, locate the Resonance Beacon near the broken bridge in Wailing Ascent. Interact with the prompt near the circular arena beside the beacon to initiate a battle with a Questless Knight.

Defeating these knights requires strategic positioning. Lure them near lit Macabre Torches within the arena. These torches can be re-lit by drawing Fae Ignis enemies towards them. Avoid using high-damage skills near the torches to prevent accidental extinguishment.

Unlocking Nightmare Crownless

After completing "Ruins Where Shadows Roam" and "Quest of Faith," locate all four Dream Patrols in Penitent's End (see image above). While completing the Patrol challenges isn't mandatory for unlocking Nightmare Crownless, doing so provides additional resources and Monnaie. Once all patrols are found, Nightmare Crownless will appear on your map within the ruins north of Penitent's End.

Remember, Nightmare Echoes utilize Enhanced Absorption charges, boosting Echo drop rates. These charges are limited (15 per week), so plan your farming strategy accordingly if you're building multiple characters.
