First Nightmare encounter. Outside of that fight I don't have much to say for this one. Was always kinda confused about the timed sequence before the boss or what makes the timer end early; I assume just wiping out all enemies before a new one spawns ends it?
As for the boss, it's not particularly hard, but if you're going for a flawless fight there's some smaller stuff that gets rather annoying. Around the last stretch of its health there's little goop that starts leaping out that will deal a tiny bit of damage to you, it's aggravating how many times I lost runs to that. Using Alastor in this fight was a huge mistake; the cores function on some kinda number of hits system, and using a faster weapon like Alastor will fuck with it and make you end up with a full red core Nightmare3 for that entire fight (the tankiest version of the fight). So yeah, make sure to always use Ifrit charged punches when it's open, unless you wanna deal with that. lol
