How to Beat Nightmare: Kelpie in Wuthering Waves – Location, Strategy, Rewards & More

Nightmare: Kelpie is among the heavier world bosses that are included in Wuthering Waves, putting a twist on the players that want to get a high-level of Echoes and have an interesting fight. Recognized by its fast water-based attacks and its graceful murderous movements, Kelpie takes accuracy, patience, and a well-rounded team composition to deal with. This is where to find it, battle it and make the most of having won.

 

Boss Place: Mournful Waters Await

Kelpie is found in the Mournfell Canyon which is located in Septimont. In order to open it, players have to activate Mournfell Canyon Resonance Beacon. When this happens go to the depths of the canyon where you will find a large flooded arena that serves as the lair of the creature. Though the land seems to be water, the movement is still on foot, so it is possible to control the movements and dodging.

Battling Advice: Time, Ducking and Pressure

The offensive playing style of Kelpie is centered around hydro-based shockwaves, abrupt dive attacks, and random ranged slashes. The boss has a quick chain of attacks, and overcommitment is a deadly error.
Golden attack indicators have short parry opportunities- a successful parry adds a great amount of stagger. Avoid the visual indicators, such as circling ripples on the ground and glittering jets of water; they mark area-of-effect or delayed attacks.
Kelpie goes into a vulnerable state when staggered. It is your best opportunity to use ultimates and high damage combination attacks.

Optimal Team Makeups

The important thing against Kelpie is balance. The effective team set ups include:

• Carlotta (DPS), Zhezhi (Support), Shorekeeper (Healer)
• Aero Rover, Ciaccona, Cartethyia, Aero synergy
• Xiangli Yao, Yinlin, Shorekeeper elemental burst damage
• Changli, Brant, Shorekeeper of powerful control and sustain

Focus on Aero-type characters, since the mechanics of Kelpie are weak against wind-element combo attacks to make the most out of Echo set synergy.

Rewards Drops

Beating Kelpie rewards the players with the Nightmare: Kelpie Echo, a 4-Cost Overlord Echo. It is a part of the Windward Pilgrimage set, which enhances Aero damage (10% per 2-pieces). First time clears as well as 20 Astrite are rewarded. Nightmare bosses do not drop standard materials instead they offer powerful Echoes- which makes them a must-have in min-maxing.
Because of random stat generation, several runs might be required to get the best Echo settings, which in incentive to learn the fight mechanics well and be efficient at Echo farming.

Taming the Nightmare: Kelpie boss does not only require you to test your reaction speed and coordination but also drops high-end gear essential in endgame builds. Train hard, riposte and overcome the waves of Mournfell Canyon.
