How to unlock the Night Terrors achievement in Devil May Cry HD - Definitive Guide

Plot

Against the Nightmare you will need Ifrit, pistols and a lot of runes.

The nightmare has two forms: slime and body. In the form of slime, he is invulnerable and can drag you into the Underworld to a mini-boss (sort of dark copies of previous bosses). If you are confident in your abilities, you can tackle the mini-bosses, as killing them will deal more damage to the Nightmare in a shorter time. It’s also easier to get runes on the slime with pistols (or a grenade launcher, but I didn’t get it often).

The body is summoned using a mechanism triggered by your weapon. In body form, you also won't be able to deal damage to Nightmare until his Cores come out. When the core appears, Nightmare will launch an attack based on your position.

1. Ice beam from the mouth. You must face the Nightmare. The easiest way to dodge the beam is to attack the Core on your back.

2. Spears from the sides. You should be on the side of Nightmare. Spears can be repelled. The “aura” in Ifrit’s jump works well here. The spears will stop hitting, and you will have a window for the Core in the back.

3. Rockets from the core. You should be behind Nightmare. Bursts of missiles will begin to appear from the Core behind. You can only dodge them, since knocking them down with an “aura” is difficult and useless.

4. Flying limb. Appears randomly. A limb flies out of Nightmare's back and begins to describe circles around his body. As with spears, you need to hit the limb so that it returns to the back, and work on the core on the back.

And now an interesting point with the Nightmare: Core COLOR. The core can be blue-green-red depending on the damage received over all 3 battles. When the Core doesn't take too much damage, it will break and turn green. This will only affect a couple of attacks. When the core takes a LOT of damage, it will turn red, thereby increasing Nightmare's defense. To prevent the Core from turning red until the 3rd battle, you need to hit it with Ifrit's standard combo, charging each blow. It is advisable to do all this in Demon Form. Inferno, and even more so Holy Water, cannot be used. If you still made both Cores blush, then get ready for a very long and painful battle.
