| | | The '''Nightmare of Dominus Ghaul''' is a [[Nightmare]] of [[Ghaul]] that appears in ''[[Shadowkeep]]''. Like all Nightmares, it is a manifestation of [[Young Wolf|the Guardian]]'s fears and trauma generated by the [[Darkness]], and is used by the Darkness to taunt the Guardian by reminding them how easily the [[Light]] was taken from them. |

| ==Biography==
| |
| ===Shadowkeep===
| |
| The Nightmare of Dominus Ghaul's appearance in Shadowkeep appears to have served as merely a functionary, as it does not speak or otherwise socially interact with the Guardian. It exists only as an obstacle to progression, whether that was the entrance to the Lunar Pyramid, or as the focus of a Nightmare Hunt instructed by Eris Morn.
| |
| | |
| ===Season of the Haunted===
| |
| In Season of the Haunted, the Nightmare of Dominus Ghaul takes on a speaking role, taunting Empress Caiatl over the current situation of the Cabal. As a beacon of the martial might of the Cabal, the Nightmare continually pressed Caiatl on her actions since his death, such as fleeing Torobatl, allying with the Guardians (which it sees as subservience), and more. It professed a strong belief that everything Ghaul had done to shape Caiatl as a warrior had gone to waste, with Caiatl struggling to surpass this opinion. Eventually, Caiatl looks past the domineering and suicidal course that the Nightmare contends the Cabal should continue upon and transforms the Nightmare of Dominus Ghaul into a Memory of Dominus Ghaul. Thus, everything it stands for became a reminder of how the Cabal shouldn't act in the future of its civilization.
| |
| | |
| The Memory left several psychic imprints across the Leviatan, which it used to converse with the Guardian. It then lent aid against [[Emperor Calus]], during the [[Catharsis|final confrontation]] with him in the [[Chantry of the Darkest Hour]]. Here, the Guardian and Empress Caiatl also fought a Fading Nightmare of Ghaul, which they ultimately defeated. The Memory of Ghaul then dissipated, alongside the other Memories.
| |
| | |
| ==Gameplay==
| |
| The Nightmare of Dominus Gaul fights much like its living counterpart, fought in the mission [[Chosen]]. He will briefly roam on the ground, firing his [[Projection Rifle]] and using his Quake on close targets, but will soon channel Light-imitating powers, lifting himself in the air, and either shoot burning Solar-empowered blades with Solar Slicer, charge a slowing dome of Void energy, or launch crackling lingering bursts of Arc.
| |
| | |
| It is briefly encountered at the end of the mission [[A Mysterious Disturbance]], where it will be immune to damage.
| |
| | |
| It is then fought inside the Lunar Pyramid, in a recreation of the final battle of the [[Red War]]. It will fight much like described above, and activate its immunity once below half health, requiring the player to kill [[Major]] Nightmare Cabal that appear in the arena in order to make him vulnerable again.
| |
| | |
| He is then encountered as the target of the [[Nightmare Hunt]]: Rage, where it confronts the fireteam in the [[Chamber of Night]]. Once brought down a third of its health, he will become immune and summon Major Nightmare Cabal. At the last third of its health, he will also summon several [[Psion]]s with powerful [[Solar]] [[Absorption Shield]]s, though only the Nightmare Cabal must be killed to make him vulnerable.
| |
| | |
| He is also fought in the [[Sever#Sever:_Rage_/_Sever:_Resolve|Sever - Rage]] and [[Sever#Sever:_Rage_/_Sever:_Resolve|Sever - Resolve]] missions, where it will be supported by many [[Loyalist]]s. The arena is small but offers plenty of cover, and the player will be able to acquire the [[Scythe]] every third of his health, making dealing with him and his troops easier.
| |
| | |
| Finally, the Nightmare is fought in the mission [[Catharsis]], as the Fading Nightmare of Ghaul, alongside the [[Nightmare of Kethiks, Grief Unforgiven|Fading Nightmare of Kethiks]] and several Loyalists and [[Scorn]]. It will be protected by its Nightmare Immunity, which can only be broken with the Scythe. If the other Nightmare still lives when he is killed, Calus will begin his attack, which can only be avoided by entering Caiatl's shield. If he is the last Nightmare standing, his death will bring the battle to an end.

| | The Guardians would confront the Nightmare of Dominus Ghaul after they managed to enter the Pyramid, forcing them to fight the Nightmare is a similar manner to how they fought the original Ghaul. Fortunately, the Guardian persevered against the Nightmare of the Dominus, allowing them to gain deeper access into the Pyramid. |

| | After their journey into the Pyramid, the structures energies continue to seep into the Solar System causing some of the stronger Nightmares to return. Among them, the Nightmare of Dominus Ghaul would return, representing the Essence of Rage. The Guardians would then conduct Nightmare Hunts to keep the Nightmares at bay. |
