Dreamseeker's Location
Appears in the 3rd Area, "Skull Square"
The Dreamseeker appears in the 3rd Area of the Hell Rift, Skull Square. In the 2nd Area of the Hell Rift, you can enter Skull Square and challenge the Dreamseeker once you have 1,500 SPLithium.
Rare Drops from Dreamseeker
Defeating the Dreamseeker lets you obtain Rare-rarity equipment. Even if you use an Escape Pod to leave Area 2 without defeating it, your Body Rank will still increase to 3. However, entering the Demon Gate Labyrinth without Rare Weapons will leave your Attack too low, making fights significantly harder. If possible, you should defeat the Dreamseeker before progressing.
How to Defeat Dreamseeker
Bait, Dodge, and Strike Strategy
| 1. Walk or Dodge to Evade | 2. Attack with One Combo → Return to 1 |
  |  |
Walk in front of the Dreamseeker while keeping a slight distance. When it initiates an attack, evade by moving or using a dodge. After its swing, punish with a quick Normal Attack. Once you land a single attack combo, back off by walking or dodging, then wait for the Dreamseeker's next move before repeating the pattern.
Break Exoskeleton for a 5s Window
| 1. Destroy the Exoskeleton | 2. 5-Second Attack Window |
 |  |
If you destroy the Exoskeleton, you'll have an attack opportunity for about 5 seconds. During this time, land 2-3 combos with Normal Attacks, or use a Deathblow if your Rage Gauge is full. If your own Health is low, you also have the option to recover Health with Skills or items.
Watch for Deathblows and Guard Breaks
The Dreamseeker has three highly dangerous attacks: a Hammer Deathblow that releases tornadoes in three directions, a Katana Deathblow that delivers two consecutive spinning slashes, and a Guard Break, a two-hit Katana and Hammer combo. Below is an example on how to avoid and counter each of these attacks.
How to Dodge Dreamseeker's Hammer Deathblow
When the Dreamseeker lowers its Hammer to its hip to charge, it’s preparing a Hammer Deathblow. Tornadoes will fire forward in three lanes, so dodge sideways to avoid them. If you can’t dodge in time, blocking with a Guard is recommended.
How to Dodge Dreamseeker's Katana Deathblow
When a black circle with an orange border appears on the Dreamseeker’s body, it signals the Katana Deathblow. This attack is a two-hit spinning slash combo. Dodge sideways or backward to avoid the first strike, then Dodge again to evade the second. You can also slip in a quick attack between the first and second hits if you time it correctly.
How to Dodge the Dreamseeker's Guard Breaks
When the Dreamseeker’s body glows red, it will use a Guard Break, first a Katana slash, then a Hammer slam. Dodge backward to create distance and avoid the Hammer strike, then punish during the opening that follows. You can cancel this attack with a well-timed hit, though it's risky
Dreamseeker Tips and Strategy
Body, Core, and Weapon Requirements
| Setup | Conditions |
| Body | Timothy, Mastery reset with none unlocked |
| Core | Inventory Weight +20, Rage Gauge +1 |
| Weapons | Wheel Blade Mk-II +1 with the "Normal Attack +3%" Perk |
The conditions above are the setup our strategy team used to successfully defeat the Dreamseeker. With proper preparation, you can beat it even when using Timothy and without unlocking any Mastery skills.
Wheel Blade is Recommended
The recommended weapon for the Dreamseeker fight is the Wheel Blade. Its long forward step makes it easy to land a two-hit combo after evading the Dreamseeker’s attacks. The Katana or Bat are also viable alternatives.
Get Dodge Count +1 via Core or Mastery
With Dodge Count +1, you can chain two Dodges, making it much easier to evade the Dreamseeker’s attacks. You can obtain this from a Core or by unlocking Dodge Count +1 in Mastery.
Rage Gauge +1 is also Recommended
Rage Gauge +1 is also recommended for the Dreamseeker fight. It lets you fire off consecutive Deathblows, dealing massive damage whenever the Dreamseeker exposes an opening.
