Tips

• The Crimson Nightmare is weak to Force Palm — use it repeatedly for damage
• Jump beneath the boss and attack from below — the boss will be grounded and vulnerable
• Farm Crude Devil Mask from surrounding enemies to prevent confusion debuff
• Bring abundant healing items — the boss deals passive damage with Crimson Smog
• Use Grindstone buff at camp to boost weapon damage before the fight
• Clear surrounding mobs first — a cleaner arena makes the boss fight much easier
• After staggering the boss with Force Palm, unleash combos while it's vulnerable
