AION 2 Nightmare
Nightmare pits you solo against 21 bosses across 3 Layers — each boss scales through 10 challenge levels, from a suggested item level of 1,000 up to 4,200. Every clear pays out Phantasmal Fragments, with a bigger first-clear bonus that grows with the level. Pick a Layer and boss to see its rewards at each level.
