Twisted Nightmare: Capital
Twisted Nightmare: Capital
Developer Commentary
Twisted Nightmare, a large-scale combat content combining both PvE and PvP, returns with a fresh look, set in Seoul, the capital of Hwanghae Province.
A small rift has appeared in the Capital, gradually growing unstable as it absorbs the darkness,
and unsettling rumors of unsealed avatars of nightmare roaming the area have begun to spread.
Eventually, lightning struck relentlessly from the dark, cloudy sky, threatening to engulf everything on this land, while ominous auras of red and green slowly enshrouded every corner of the town, twisting the Capital.
Your journey to overcome the threats of bosses and other Adventurers to seal the realm of Twisted Nightmare: Capital begins.
Twisted Nightmare: Capital is divided into five levels based on CP,
and you will battle through groups of monsters in a battlefield that is significantly larger than before.
You can obtain Nightmare Fragments by defeating certain bosses amidst the groups of monsters.
Additionally, various effects will be applied depending on changes in the weather and surrounding environment.
Once all Nightmare Fragments in the Capital are revealed, the Nightmare will fully manifest, summoning the final boss, Bulgasal.
Defeating a Bamboo Legion Lieutenant, Sangoon, or Duoksini that appears while fighting Bulgasal
will spread their aura across the Capital and bring various changes.
Afterwards, defeat Bulgasal to complete Twisted Nightmare: Capital.
Relic Memory Imprint will be available as a major reward of Twisted Nightmare: Capital,
which you can equip for effects that assist your combat and make you even stronger.
In the future, we plan to introduce a Trace system that allows Adventurers who missed the content window
to still enjoy it whenever they are able, albeit for minimal rewards.
We hope you enjoy the combat and various strategies in the new Twisted Nightmare: Capital.
