Nightmare Tempest Mephis stands out as a stellar choice for enhancing your 4-slot Echo setup for Electro characters in Wuthering Waves. Not only does it boost your stats, but it also has the potential to significantly enhance your damage rotations, making it a more powerful and visually striking option compared to its standard version.

While all Nightmare Echoes in Wuthering Waves offer similar bonuses, accessing Nightmare Tempest Mephis involves a few specific steps. Here's how you can unlock this formidable boss.

Where to Find Nightmare Tempest Mephis in Wuthering Waves

You'll encounter this boss in the expansive, circular arena located in the Shores of Last Breath within the Fagaceae Peninsula. However, to challenge Nightmare Tempest Mephis, you'll need to complete a couple of prerequisites.

First, you must complete the "Where Winds Return to Celestial Realms" quest in Wuthering Waves. This exploration quest takes place in the Shores of Last Breath and involves combat challenges. While it can be completed in one session, it does require some time. Completing this quest is crucial as it unlocks the path to Nightmare Tempest Mephis' arena.

Secondly, you need to locate all the Dream Patrols in the Shores of Last Breath. Simply discovering them and marking them on your map is sufficient; you don't need to complete the patrols. Once you've found all of them, a notification will inform you that Nightmare Tempest Mephis has appeared, allowing you to engage it at the location shown in the image above.

Should You Use Nightmare Tempest Mephis?

Whether you should use Nightmare Tempest Mephis depends on the stats of your Echo drops and the specific Wuthering Waves character you're building. When equipped in the main Echo slot, Nightmare Tempest Mephis provides a bonus to Electro DMG and can be part of either the Void Thunder or Empyrean Anthem Sonata sets. The Void Thunder set is ideal for all Electro damage dealers, whereas the Empyrean Anthem set is better suited for characters capable of Coordinated Attacks, such as Yinlin and Yuanwu.

Moreover, Nightmare Tempest Mephis features a unique transformation attack that differs from its regular counterpart, potentially offering improved rotations for certain characters or teams. Combined with its passive Electro DMG bonus, this makes Nightmare Echoes a compelling choice for many characters.

However, it's essential to prioritize Echoes with superior stats. If your Nightmare Tempest Mephis has lower stats than a regular version, you might achieve better overall performance by sticking with the standard variant.
