After successfully defeating Nightmare of Skalos, you have obtained the Essence of Pride and now need to cleanse it.

To cleanse the Essence of Pride, you will need to hunt down Nightmare variants of enemies in other places aside from the Moon.

Nightmare kills on the Moon will not count, so you will need to head to other planets in search of worthy enemies.

Tips

• Nightmare enemies exist in several Lost Sectors and will easily be identified by their different appearance and the name Nightmare added to its usual name.
