Nightmare Nest Rewards

Common and Elite Nightmare Echoes

Obtain Common and Elite Nightmare Echoes

In contrast to Overlord and Calamity Nightmare echoes that have their own arena, Common and Elite Nightmare echoes drop in Nightmare Nests. These are special battle grounds that will provide echo drops.

36 Defeated Echoes Daily

Nightmare Nest Drop Nightmare Echoes

Unlike Tacet Fields, Nightmare Nests will close after defeating a total of 36 Nightmare Echoes. Do note that you won't get all 36 echoes, as it is still chance-based as if you're farming in the overworld.

Eat Sweet & Sour Pork to Maximize Drops

Wuthering Waves - Sweet & Sour PorkSweet & Sour Pork Rarity 5
Type Supply
Effect Increases Echo drop rate by 50%, lasting for 30m. Only effective for your own Resonators in Co-Op Mode.
One of the must-have dishes at the Huanglong New Year's feast. Because of its sour, sweet, and crispy taste, it is popular with children and is also known as "Kid's Delight" by the people. Perhaps the heartfelt smile of happiness on the children's faces when they taste the sweetness of this dish is more satisfactory the dish itself.

Since Nightmare Nests follow the same chance-based drop mechanic of overworld echoes, we suggest consuming a Sweet and Sour Pork to maximize the echo drops you can get. The recipe is obtained by reaching Level 4 in the Mt. Firmament Windchimer delivery task.

How to Get Sweet & Sour Pork

The Nest Will Close After Defeating 36 Echoes

Nightmare Nest Refresh Daily

As mentioned, the nightmare nest will close after defeating 36 nightmare echoes and will not refresh until the next day. Be sure to go back to this everyday to maximize the nightmare echoes you can get daily!

You also cannot spend any resources to speed up the timer as the nest will always refresh on daily reset.
