This was nice to watch I'm currently in dmd mode trying to beat this guy and seeing someone doing it without taking damage is motivational. My biggest problem is that attack where the spinning thing flies around I can never dodge it in that small arena :|
Thanks! It's very hard to kill on DMD for sure. Personally I struggled a lot with his last phase in this fight. It's just so chaotic and tbh I still don't know what's the best way to deal with it. Good luck with your DMD run!
@@vicwraith6154 Use ifrit and jump when the bone starts spinning (get the upgrade that lets you do damage by simply jumping). It knocks it back and stuns Nightmare.
been doing my first run of this game this year, and ive been filtered by almost every boss in this game as i climbed uphill learning its mechanics.. this, fucking boss man, it is absolutely tearing me a new one, i cannot believe how much nonsense there is in this boss LOL no game released nowadays can bring me to a salty salt rage quite like DMC, amazing game. Ive been looking forward to getting to DMC3 because so many people claim its one of the best games ever made, and DMC is supposedly the most difficult one. Hearing that makes me feel less shit lol. Great gameplay, you devil may cry chad lol
Wow so Ebony & Ivory were Nightmare's nightmare all this time! But I have a problem. I've done DMD run with Super Dante costume but I was dealing really low damage. Fully charged Ifrit punch took less than 0.1% hp. 20 minutes fight lol (infinite devil trigger). Still don't know what's wrong.
Hardest boss in the game on DMD mode to kill if his core is red in the 3rd battle. Tried 50 times still can’t do it.:( Edit I believe it was a few days after this I killed it.
Ohh, thanks man, this is very helpful for me you know what? I'm stuck in here and really make me frustrate, after seeing this, i'm tried it and it works 😅 finally i can beat final nightmare in DMD without cost item or damage
What you do in the previous 2 fights can have an effect on this encounter. Here's some info on this from the wiki: "Note that Nightmare's cores are persistent during the three encounters for it, and the cores have three possible states (blue, green and red), with Nightmare's attacks becoming more aggressive and its cores gaining more damage resistance as previous cores are destroyed and their colors change. While on lower difficulties, this isn't much of a concern, on higher difficulties (particularly Dante Must Die!) it can be prudent to try to try and beat the first two Nightmare fights while destroying the cores as few times as possible, as fighting Nightmare 3 with both its cores in the red state makes the fight exceptionally harder. Cores are destroyed based on the number of hits they have received, rather than the amount of damage, so using Ifrit's charged punch-punch-kick-kick combo while DT'd is the best way to damage Nightmare's total health bar while delivering as few hits to its cores as possible. Also, entering Nightmare in its fluid form (and defeating the boss inside) will not only damage its healthbar without damaging its cores, it will also reset the counter for the number of hits each core has taken."
when the ball appears on the back of nightmare a lot times it will send glowy things at you is there a way to avoid that I noticed it didn't happen in your run
So does shooting the little spheres with E&I stop him from doing that homing missile attack from his back core? I recently fought him on hard and I could only safely attack the top core, and only when it used the big ice laser. The back core was too well protected by peojectiles.
Nah I only shoot the spheres to build up a little bit on DT. I remember struggling a lot with that homing missiles attack. I can't exactly remember what I did here to make him not do it. Not sure if it was my positioning or something else, but I know that you can shoot those missiles back at its core with your guns. Rolling Blaze with Ifrit works too if I'm not mistaken. I also remember there being a spot right in front of the core where the missiles would miss you. So basically, you wait for the core to open, wait for that small AoE to stop, then just as the missiles are about to fire, you walk towards the core and basically hug it. I remember that sometimes working.
Thanks for quick reply, great video btw. I'm about to start an all s rank DMD run. So it only works sometimes? This boss is interesting in that it's basically a puzzle, but in actual execution it's kind of a clusterfuck
@@achair7958 Thank you! And good luck with your run! Yeah, I remember not being able to get it consistently. Not sure if it's just random or if I was doing something wrong. And yeah this boss is very interesting, especially for an old game like this one.
old but you can actually manipulate what nightmare does for his core, if you only stay in front of him, he'll pretty much only do the ice laser and sometimes the pokey move.
You have to use charged ifrit punches (with Devil Trigger if possible). The more hits the core takes it will break and change its color and will become red eventually. Also getting sucked in by nightmare resets the orb color.
I have just read it. Every time you break one sphere of Nightmare, it gains damage resistance, this works even in the previous encounters, meaning that you broke too many spheres and now he's very strong
Why can't I pull off that damage? Even my charged attacks do way less damage than your . It takes me forever to chip away a single dent in the bosses health.
3:30 it shows that I'm on Dante Must Die. What you do in the previous 2 fights can have an effect on this encounter.

Impressive! Nightmare 3 destroyed me on my first DMD run, so this was a pleasure to watch
Thank you so much!
Yeah this one can be difficult to handle, especially that last phase which was very difficult for me to do without taking damage.

How are you taking so much damage off it so quickly? It takes less when use the same weapons.

@@achair7958how did it go
Wait, what did you do to preserve the blue state on the cores?
You have to use charged ifrit punches (with Devil Trigger if possible). The more hits the core takes it will break and change its color and will become red eventually. Also getting sucked in by nightmare resets the orb color.
@@Avolition617 I didn't know that getting eaten resets the hit counter. Thanks.
bro how do you give him so damage? its impossible to me to give him any damage idk why
I have just read it. Every time you break one sphere of Nightmare, it gains damage resistance, this works even in the previous encounters, meaning that you broke too many spheres and now he's very strong
@@antoniocartonio2666 and i still defeated him xd, but now im stuck in dmc 3 with a girl that uses bats
Bro I'm doing the exact same thing except I'm doing nowhere near as much damage
Why can't I pull off that damage?
Even my charged attacks do way less damage than your .
It takes me forever to chip away a single dent in the bosses health.
Is the weak point red?
I'm not sure this is even Dante must die mode... I tried to attack with same ifrit punch moves and barely dent that nightmare
3:30 it shows that I'm on Dante Must Die.
