Nightmare Scaraba Hole

Overview:
Nightmare mode is a new dungeon being implemented on Ragnarok Online. Basically, it is a harder version of an existing map having an approximately three times harder than the normal version. Skills and stats of monsters on these dungeons are far better than its normal counter part so this dungeon offers a more challenging environment.

How to get there:
Scaraba Hole is located under the Kamidal Mountain in El Dicastes. Adventurers must finished the access quest to Scaraba Hole before they can access the Nightmare version. When you have unlock the entrance to Scaraba Hole you can also access the Nightmare mode. Be sure to wear your Ring of Wise King when talking to anyone in the area.

Locate Curious Sapha at the middle part of Scaraba Hole lvl1. He will be telling you stories on how he ended up inside the Scaraba Hole. Purchase some Scaraba Perfune which will be needed as an entry item to the Nightmare version.

Locate Dirty Vigilante on the right of Curios Sapha. Talk to him and tell him that you will be entering the dungeon after spraying the perfume.

Congratulations! You are now inside Nightmare Scaraba Hole.

Nightmare Mode:
Welcome to the Nightmare version of Scaraba Hole. There are 3 of us who decided to explore this dungeon but unfortunately Neil has not yet performed the access quest so he was not able to join us.

Sankaku and I continued on the expedtion by walking inside the dungeon.trying to figure out what's special on this dungeon. We were able to battle familiar monsters inside the Scaraba Hole but indeed they are much stronger. Though the map is the same, even the ambiance is the same, you will surely feel that it is somehow different.

At first I'm thinking of letting Yahir do the tanking because I'm confident that his Magma Flow buff will somehow make our mob control easier but unfortunately for Yahir he cannot do it. The monsters are too powerful for him that he dies even before I can heal him with Potion Pitcher. So what happen is that Sankaku became the tanker while I become the mob control. Even as a tanker he should cast Dragon Breath to help me kill the monsters at a faster rate.

What makes the situation worst is that all of the monsters are casting Area Chaos! Even the eggs are casting this skill which makes our navigation very difficult. So we have to take down everything so that we won't have problems on being constantly in Chaos status.

In terms of damage strength, I'm being one shot by a Thunderstorm coming from a Scaraba. Their normal attacks are painful and even our tanker feels the damage. It really proves that this is a Nightmare version. Every hit they make are painful that we need to spam potions in order to survive. The ideal battle scenario for us is one monster at a time. Mobbing at least 2 or 3 monsters will guarantee our death unless we slam the potions button quick enough.

Because of the harsh environment, we were not able to visit all the corners of the dungeon. We also haven't seen the Nightmare version of Queen Scaraba which I think a more terrifying version. If you see yourself as a tough adventurer, I guess you have to challenge yourself or your party to face the MVP of this dungeon. As for us, we ended our adventre when we were killed for so many times. The dungeon is too much for us to handle.

More adventures to come!
