Nightmaretaker Walkthrough Repack Exclusive -

Nightmaretaker is a fan-made adult parody visual novel based on the characters and aesthetics of the popular indie puzzle game Helltaker. Unlike the original game's focus on block-sliding puzzles, Nightmaretaker is a narrative-driven experience centered on dialogue choices and unlocking adult-themed scenes with various demon girls. Gameplay & Walkthrough Strategy

The game primarily functions as a dating sim where your success depends on choosing the correct dialogue options to please each demoness.

Dialogue Trees: Each character has a specific "nightmare" or scenario. Choosing the wrong option often leads to an instant "Game Over," requiring you to restart the scene.

Character Interactions: Players interact with familiar faces like Pandemonica, Modeus, and Cerberus. The "walkthrough" involves learning the specific personality quirks of each girl—for example, being submissive to Pandemonica or matching Modeus’s intensity.

Difficulty: While not mechanically "brutal" like a soulslike, some reviews note that the trial-and-error nature of the choices can be frustrating without a guide. Review & Repack Insights nightmaretaker walkthrough repack

Aesthetic: The game faithfully recreates Vanripper’s signature art style and "sharply dressed demon girl" aesthetic.

Repack Availability: Repacks of this game often include the "Gallery Unlocker" or "Cheat Menu," which allows players to skip the dialogue puzzles and view all content immediately. These are commonly found on community-driven sites like Reddit's H-Gaming forums or adult game hubs.

Content Warning: This is an explicit parody and is intended for adult audiences only, featuring themes and imagery much more mature than the original Helltaker.

Here’s a proper write-up based on a walkthrough of The Nightmare Taker (Repack version), structured like a game guide or analytical playthrough.

Troubleshooting the Repack Version

Since you are using a repack, you may encounter specific issues. Here’s how to fix them:

Error: "RGSS3 Player has stopped working" : Run the game in Windows 7 Compatibility Mode. The repack sometimes disables this by default.
Missing audio: Go to the game folder Audio/BGM. The repack compresses these to MP3. Convert them to .OGG using a free converter (Audacity works).
Save file location: Unlike the Steam version, the repack saves are in Documents/My Games/NightmareTaker_Repack. Back this folder up before Chapter 4.

Ending A: "Awakening" (True Ending - Unlockable in Repack)

Requirements: Have the Silver Locket (found in the Prologue bathroom if you checked the toilet tank) and the Dried Rose (in the Doctor's desk).
Action: When the Final Dreamer asks "Do you want to stay?", refuse 3 times. Then use the locket.
Result: The main character wakes up in a real hospital. The nightmare ends. Credits roll with a new epilogue scene (exclusive to repack).

Shard locations (fixed in repack):

| Shard | Location | Hint | |-------|----------|------| | 1 | Abandoned crib | Rock it 3 times slowly. Fast rocking breaks it. | | 2 | Toy box maze | Follow the teddy bear with the missing eye. | | 3 | Music room | Play piano keys: C – D – E – C (no sharps/flats). | | 4 | Clown tunnel | Do NOT pick up the red balloon. Take the blue one instead. | | 5 | Mirror hall | Stand still for 15 seconds. The shard appears in your reflection’s hand. |

Chapter 5: The Nightmare Labyrinth (The Repack Difference)

This is a maze. In the original, it was literally pitch black. In the repack, there is a dim lantern light. Troubleshooting the Repack Version Since you are using

Walkthrough for the Maze:

Start at the crossroad with four statues.
Follow the crying sound. Ignore the whispers telling you to turn back.
Turn order: Right, Left, Straight, Right, Left.
You will find a Broken Doll. Do NOT pick it up unless you want the "Possessed" ending.
Instead, walk around the doll to the door behind it.

Chapter 3: The Sanguine Cathedral

Longest chapter – bring at least 4 Memory Shards.
Fake walls: Check every confessional booth; the second on the left has a hidden switch that opens the path to the Saint’s Halberd (best weapon for the next boss).
Boss – The Martyr King:
- Phase 1: Reflects melee damage. Use only ranged attacks (throwing knives or the Halberd’s special throw).
- Phase 2: Armor breaks. Now melee, but he gains a grab attack (tells: raises both arms). Dodge backward twice, not sideways.
- Repack note: This boss drops the Cursed Hourglass – use it immediately to reset your Malice bar to zero.

Phase 3 – Final Choice

You get three dialogue options:

“Wake him gently.” (True ending – unlocks New Game+)
“Destroy the throne.” (Neutral ending – credits roll)
“Become the new king.” (Nightmare ending – play as the king in a bonus level)

Part 5: Multiple Endings & Repack-Specific Secrets

The nightmaretaker walkthrough repack includes three endings. Your actions determine which one you get:

| Ending | Requirement | Reward (New Game+) | |--------|-------------|--------------------| | Oblivion (Bad) | Complete Chapter 4 without the True Mirror shards. | Unlocks “Endless Mode” (survival arena). | | Sacrifice (Neutral) | Give all Memory Shards to the Altar before final boss. | +50% HP permanent boost. | | Awakening (True Ending) | Collect all 12 lore notes (repack adds notes 7–12) AND beat the true final boss. | Unlocks the “Nightmaretaker’s Scythe” (all attacks steal 5% health). |

Secret boss – The Devil’s Advocate:
To fight this hidden encounter, in the repack, go to the main menu and input: Up, Down, Left, Right, R1, L1, Square, Triangle (controller) or U, D, L, R, E, Q, F, R (keyboard). You’ll hear a chime. Load your cleared save, and the boss door appears in the Prologue cell.
