The Nightmare Deja Vu quest is unlocked as part of Chapter 10’s main storyline. Since it’s a late-game quest, you pretty much have to do it all – solve puzzles, dish out your movement skills, and defeat the boss in a tough fight. Let’s take a look at how to proceed with this quest systematically.

How to access Nightmare Deja Vu in Throne and Liberty?

Once you reach Chapter 10 in the main quest line, you’ll be able to find the “Someone’s Journal” in the Grayclaw Forest. Finding this particular journal will allow you to begin the Nightmare Deja Vu by starting an investigation at Lycan’s Hall.

How to complete the Nightmare Deja Vu quest in Throne and Liberty

Proceed step by step as per the instructions mentioned here, and you will be able to finish the quest quickly.

Step 1: Talk to Clay

Head to the Lycan’s Hall in Wolf King Hill. You’ll find a structure on the ground that closely resembles a temple. Enter through the main entrance and head down the stairs to an altar. Here, you’ll find Clay, who will provide you with your next set of instructions.

Step 2: Solve the Moon puzzle

You’ll find two moons – blue and yellow. The objective is to combine them, but it’s easier said than done. Whenever you activate the center book, the pillars will only show you one of the two moons. Once you’ve exposed the moons, select the opposite one.

The next step involves repeating the puzzle once again by activating the center book. Make sure to sprint as soon as possible to reach the other moon. Solving the Moon puzzle will unlock the next step behind the moon altar. Here, you’ll find an unconscious man. Interact with him to go to the next step.

Step 3: Interact with Black Rift

The next step requires you to find a black rift in the Shadowed Crypt area. When you see it, interact with it to enter a dark dimension. After clearing a few waves of enemies, you’ll come back out of the dark dimension, where you’ll find Clay. He will ask you to go to his study, which is located in the Purelight Tower. Interact with him there and fight some enemies that spawn at this location.

Step 4: Speak with One-Eyed Hawk Henson

Travel towards the resistance group, and you’ll meet One-Eyed Hawk Henson. Once you’ve cleared the mobs found at this location, you can interact with Henson. In the end, Berge will appear, but this is not where you fight the boss.

Step 5: Survive Berge’s Gaze

While traveling towards Temple 1, you’ll have to survive Berge’s Gaze unless you want a Medusa-like action to take place and turn you into stone. Make sure to always move in shadows to stay out of sight. Make sure to look out for a red eye marker on top of your screen. Only move when the eye is closed. Whenever the eye is open, you must remain out of sight.

Step 6: Go to Temple 2

After morphing a few times into your wolf form and slaying a couple of enemies, you’ll come across a floating pillar. Wait till Berge is inactive, and jump from the edge to morph into an aerial unit. Once you come back down on the ground, rush to the Temple to interact with NPCs.

You’ll come across a similar stage once again as you try to reach Temple 2. Grapple to the floating pillar and travel to the furthest edge possible. Then, morph into a flying unit and use a boosted super-jump to grapple to the final pillar. Use an aerial morph, and you will reach the stairs of Temple 2.

Step 7: Defeat Herald Berge

Speak with Clay and dispose of the mobs. Interact with a black right (found in front of a statue) and travel to the arena. Here, you get to face off against Nightmare Herald Berge. Try to stay patient and focus on the strengths of your build.

Step 8: Go to Clay’s Study

At the end of the fight against Berge, Clay sacrifices himself to save you. Outside the rift, you’ll find Clay’s bag and a lonely Lunar-0. Interact with it after picking up the bag, and then interact with One-Eyed Hawk Henson. Go to Clay’s Study and place the bag at the marked location.

Step 9: Interact with Lunar-0

Finally, interact with Lunar-0. This will mark the end of Nightmare Deja Vu quest in Throne and Liberty. Make sure to watch the cutscene, which has a deep link with the core lore of the game.

Completing the quest is certainly worth your time and effort, as you can choose between three Special Resistance Armors, and one Special Resistance Garb. Make sure to read the stats and effects of all armors carefully before making your final decisions.
