Small note in case you are worried. It pops after the second cutscene when the title card appears.

The Outer Cerebrum is the first stage of the game. The Nightmare is the Dark Hog you fight against a few times as you play through the introduction within this level. You'll come face to face with the Dark Hog a few times throughout the level:
 
First Encounter This encounter will be dialogue only.
Second Encounter After placing the blue battery in a socket to cross over a bridge, the Dark Hog will be blocking the way, forcing you to interact with him. For the first part of the fight, the Dark Hog stomps his feet and creates a shadow on the ground where clouds of darkness will appear. You need to avoid stepping on these shadows to keep from getting hit. Don't attack him, he doesn't take damage. After he does this a handful of times, he'll stop and create a shadow straight towards the bridge you just crossed over, then dash away. Just stay out of his way and you'll be fine. 
Third Encounter You will meet back up with the Dark Hog in a circular area with a light pole in the middle. When he starts to walk/run in the circle, you need to pick up a battery and place it in a socket, both of which are outside of the circle but not together. Use the button (also on the outside of the circle) to change the position of the lights above the battery and battery socket. When the battery is in the socket, a light will shine on the circle which will render the Dark Hog vulnerable to attacks when he touches it. After the first Battery, he will start to sprint around the circle every few seconds. Just wait for him to stop before continuing with the battery. After the second battery, he will start to chase you back through the level. As you run, use your r2.png+square.png attack to quickly handle the plants in the way, then just keep following the trail to the end.
Final Encounter The fourth and final fight will take place on a stage. There will be a spotlight that appears on the stage which removes the darkness. You need to stand in these lights and wait for the darkness to disappear before moving again. After a few spotlights, the Dark Hog will create more shadow lines on the ground again and bolt through them just as before. After a couple of rounds of this, the Dark Hog will start to clear the darkness on the sides of him as he attacks. Wait for the darkness to clear off the battery and battery socket, then, just as before, pick up the battery and put it in the socket to finish the fight.

When you finish the theatre stage section of the fight, a cutscene will play out pretty much explaining the gist of what you’ll be doing in the game. When the “Figment 2” splash screen appears after the cutscene, the trophy will unlock.
