To complete the Nightmare Nemeses challenge in Path of Exile, you must finish four of the five specific Nightmare maps with at least 175% Item Quantity. These maps represent enhanced, high-difficulty endgame content featuring "Nightmare" versions of major bosses.

Nightmare Nemeses(4)

Complete any four of the following Nightmare Maps while they have at least 175% Item Quantity.

  • Abomination Map. Boss: Nightmare of the Depraved Trinity - This boss is an uber version of The Depraved Trinity.
  • Citadel Map. Boss: Nightmare of Uhtred - This boss is an uber version of Uhtred, Covetous Traitor.
  • Fortress Map. Boss: Nightmare of the Unbreakable - This boss is an uber version of The Unbreakable.
  • Sanctuary Map. Boss: Nightmare of Lycia - This boss is an uber version of Lycia, Herald of the Scourge. She will also summon a miniboss based on Beidat, Archangel of Death (Nightmare of Beidat) to assist her during the fight.
  • Ziggurat Map. Boss: Nightmare of Catarina - This boss is an uber version of Catarina, Master of Undeath. At every 25% life lost, she will summon minibosses based on Kurgal, Ulaman, and Amanamu. Catarina will be invincible until the Abyssal Lich boss is defeated.

How to Reach 175% Item Quantity

Reaching this threshold requires heavy "juicing" and specific Atlas Passives:

1. Map Quality: Use Chisels to hit 20% quality.

2. Explicit Modifiers

Use an Orb of Alchemy and Chaos Orbs to roll high-value modifiers. Higher-tier maps inherently have larger quantity bonuses from their dangerous mods.

3. Atlas Passives

Allocate nodes that increase the Effect of Explicit Modifiers on your maps (e.g., Multiplying Modifiers, Map Modifier Effect). This is the most consistent way to push a ~110% quantity map over the 175% mark.

4. Map Device

Use the 8% Item Quantity crafting option if available, though this counts toward the total quantity within the map instance.

5. Scarabs

Certain Scarabs, such as Risk Scarabs, can further boost the difficulty and quantity of the map.
