How to get the crafting recipes in Phase 3
The first step of the search chain will be in the Ashenvale Nightmare Incursion. Inside the dream, look for the Warsong Lumber Camp, then go south. Avoid the bridge and continue south until you get the perk called the Aura of Paralyzing Terror from the Nightmare Fusion (87.35; see the map above). When you get it, your chat will read “Drink your fear… drink your pain…” Exit the Emerald Nightmare and go to Ashenvale Field Captain Hannalah (map below).
When you talk to Hannahlah now, you'll have a new dialogue option. She will ask if you have recently entered the Emerald Nightmare and if you have seen anything strange there. You can answer “Yes, I have.” Exhaust yourself dialogue with her to win the a quest called An Fusion of Nightmares. This quest will lead you to an elf named Loganaar, the Druid Trainer NPC in Moonglade. Interact with him to complete Amalgamation of Nightmares and get the next step, named Italy.
NOTE: At the time of writing, Loganaar appears to be bugged. While Blizzard tried to fix him and make sure he shows up every time, he might not be there right away when you go to Moonglade. This can happen if others are At War with the Cenarion Circle, and they kill him. If he is missing, try another layer to find him.
Itharius can be found in the Swamp of Sorrows; he will be in a cave in the southwest of the map. Talk to him to turn in the Itharius quest and get the next step, called Down below. Enter the Sunken Temple, then enter the Cave of the Chosen to complete Going Under. Return it with Itharius, then he will task you with returning to Loganaar in Moonglade.
- Next to Loganaar, you will see a Shadow Figure.
- Talk to them twice to get the next quest in the chain: The Bad News.
- This will require you to go all the way to Booty Bay, which will be quite a hike. Look for the Wounded Gnome in the Salty Sailor Tavernand chat with him.
- He will send you to Jaguar Islewhich is located off the coast of Stranglethorn Vale, looking for the the world's smallest Murloc.
- Next to the Itty Bitty Murloc It is a mound of dirt you can interact with.
- Return to Moonglade to interact with the Shadow Figure. This will give you the quest Wake the Nightmare.
The last step of the quest is to finally get rid of the Nightmare in Ashenvale. You must equip the Void-Powered Vambraces you got from doing the quest steps above so that the Fear debuff prevents you from killing it. It will drop a Cloak of Nightmares, which must be turned into the Shadow Figure. She'll give you one Inert Cloak of Nightmares, which is one of the many reagents you need to make many of the Phase 3 crafting items. If you have 250 skill in the crafting profession, she will offer you the epic crafting patterns for those items you can craft..
How to beat the Nightmare Fusion
The Nightmare Amalgamation doesn't have any complicated mechanics, but that doesn't mean this boss won't be a big fight. It hits incredibly hard, so you'll need at least one healer with you and a tank that can take those hits without dying. This thing has 181,566 health, so you'll also need multiple DPS shots to help bring it down. I would suggest a group of six players for this battle. It will deal mostly Shadow damage, but it has Nature Entangle. Here's what it can do:
- Intertwining Roots: Nature
- Feast on Your Fear: Shadow
- Psychic Scream: Shadow
- Shadow Bolt Volley: Shadow
- Shadow Shock: Shadow
