Lost Castle 2 has recently been updated, introducing new difficulty levels with the update. These new difficulties are upgrades based on the original nightmare difficulty, specifically Nightmare 1, 2, and 3. Among these, Nightmare 3 in Lost Castle 2 is the most challenging, and many players have yet to pass this level. To help everyone through this difficulty, the following content will provide a guide for Nightmare 3, after which you'll know how to overcome this challenge.

When it comes to playing at Nightmare 3 difficulty, the first thing you need to do to clear the game is to choose a good playstyle. Here, I recommend playing as the Demon Bow or Plague style. The former has the most overpowered damage output, while the latter offers the most stable damage and the highest survivability. Using these two styles will make the game much easier compared to other styles. After choosing one of these styles, you can start the game. In the first stage, you'll immediately experience the difficulty of this map.

In the first stage, you'll encounter many mutated creatures, and you'll notice that the overall health and attack power of the monsters are significantly higher than before. Indeed, in this difficulty, the health and damage of the monsters have been greatly increased, several times more than before. Many of the monsters have also undergone mutations; for example, the Goblin Berserker in the first stage has mutated. In its mutated state, this monster's aggression and attack frequency are much higher than before. With the added difficulty, this monster now has the ability to instantly kill, so even a slight mistake could result in being defeated by it.
Therefore, from the first stage, you need to pay attention to the monsters' attacks and dodge them in time, rather than fighting as casually as in other difficulties. As you progress, you'll eventually face the boss at the end of the stage. The final bosses remain the same as before, regardless of the stage, but they have gained new skills in this mode.

For instance, the Forest Guardian in the first stage has a new skill where it slams the ground and sprays poison. This skill, combined with the increased stats, is very deadly. Therefore, when facing these bosses, you must be cautious and pay attention to their skill usage to avoid being caught off guard. It's recommended that whenever you see an unfamiliar skill, immediately distance yourself from the boss. This is a universal solution that works for any boss.
After completing the first stage, you'll move on to the second stage. Some players may notice that the second stage is different, as the map has changed from one to two, adding a desert map to the abandoned village. This might feel unfamiliar to some, but don't worry; the desert is much easier to navigate than the abandoned village. The boss configuration is almost the same, just with a different model. In the second stage, you only need to fully upgrade your armor to complete the stage.

After completing this stage, you'll reach the third stage, Crystal Mountain. The monsters here are already strong, and in this mode, they become even stronger. When facing these monsters, it's recommended to use a weapon that can gather enemies, such as the Void Staff, to control and attack them together. Using this strategy, you'll eventually reach the boss. The boss in this difficulty has changed, with the hardest one no longer being the dragon but the statue. The statue has a new full-screen attack skill, and you need to relearn the mechanics to defeat it.
After defeating it, you'll arrive at the outer city of the Demon King's castle. The outer city remains the same as before, but the monsters are much stronger. By the time you get here, your weapon level must be high, and your relics should be well-formed, or you won't be able to win. After completing this, you'll face the final boss inside the castle. Your equipment and playstyle must be fully formed to stand a chance. Without this, you won't be able to proceed. Therefore, you must farm relics and reinforce your equipment and weapons to increase their levels and improve their stats.

The above is the complete guide on how to tackle Nightmare 3 in Lost Castle 2. After reading the introduction above, you should now understand how to handle Nightmare 3. Once you know how to play, you can follow the advice given in the text to proceed.
