How to unlock all Nightmare Echoes in Wuthering Waves

Wuthering Waves has revisited some of the designs for its original boss, Echoes, and given them slight adjustments with Nightmare Echoes. Some of these Nightmare Echoes can be complete game-changers for your build. Here’s how you can unlock and find all Nightmare Echoes in Wuthering Waves.

How to unlock Nightmare Echoes

Before you can collect Nightmare Echoes, you must start the Dream Patrol I quest, which can be found in Ragunna City. You can start this quest by speaking to the Strange White Cat in Raguuna City. If you don’t speak to the Strange White Cat, the Nightmare Echo locations will not appear on your map.

What are Nightmare Echoes in Wuthering Waves

Nightmare Echoes are special corrupted versions of the boss echoes from Huanglong that seem to have taken on new forms in the Rinascita region. They differ slightly from their base counterparts in terms of appearance, and their abilities have been changed to more quick-swap-friendly movesets with shorter animations. Furthermore, all their main slot buff effects have been swapped in favor of passive buffs without activation conditions. Lastly, some also belong to the new Sonata sets introduced in Wuthering Waves Version 2.0.
