Nightmare: Jade Starlight Forest
■ Nightmare: Jade Starlight Forest
Developer Commentary:
"Not long after the Dark Rift in Duvencrune closed, it reappeared again.
Adventurers who entered the Dark Rift expecting to see Tshira Ruins found themselves in the Jade Starlight Forest. Everything was frozen and only the frost remained.
Due to a raging blizzard, visibility is close to none. Erebjork, the Dreadwinter Guardian, had forgotten her mission and now guards the darkness fueled by despair and summons a harsh chill.
Even though it's a place where the severe cold envelops everything, news of discovering the Voidsent Eye and valuable loot has tantalized Adventurers to venture into the cold."
Nightmare: Jade Starlight Forest was developed as a zone to showcase the unique characteristics of the Mountain of Eternal Winter, much like Nightmare: Tshira was for Drieghan.
Precious loot like the Voidsent Eye and Radiant Jadeite Lanterns can be obtained by defeating monsters in the Jade Starlight Forest.
There are also chests to be discovered by destroying passing blizzards that appear in the Jade Starlight Forest. The violent monster Leebur may appear as the sound of chaos echoes throughout the forest. Erebjork, the Dreadwinter Guardian, may also reveal herself in the forest.
Survive the battles against foes encountered in the blinding blizzard and the monsters in the bone-chilling cold to experience the unique allure of Nightmare: Jade Starlight Forest.

■ Nightmare: Jade Starlight Forest
Developer Commentary:
We are adding a new difficulty level to Nightmare: Jade Starlight Forest.
In "Nightmare: Brisk Jade Starlight Forest," you can engage in combat with just about anyone but yourself. All other Adventurers and even guild members are enemies here.
Alone, you'll have to face unknown enemies that may appear at any given moment.
Also, a difference from the existing difficulty levels is that the Required CP and CP Limit are the same.
Adventurers who have completed Progression Plus 2 would have around 40,000 CP.
And since Nightmare: Brisk Jade Starlight Forest requires 40,000 CP to enter, with the same CP Limit,
you can experience the thrill of the Nightmare without worrying about being underprepared for battles with other Adventurers.
Lastly, to prevent high-CP Adventurers from decreasing their CP in the Frozen Jade Starlight Forest and entering lower levels, we have added the "Bound" effect.
When you select a difficulty and enter the "Nightmare: Jade Starlight Forest",
the Bound effect is applied, which limits your entry only to that specific difficulty level.
We hope you enjoy battling in solitude through the blizzard in the Brisk Jade Starlight Forest.
