Nightmare Captain Blood
In the World of Dreams

In the first release of the World of Dreams, in August 2018, the Royals at KingsIsle introduced Four new Nightmare Boss battles. These battles are intensely difficult and designed for top-level players and as team up opportunities. Captain Blood is one of these nightmare challenges.

Pirates first face off with Captain Blood in the Haunted Skyway on the isle of Miranda. During one of my favorite puppet shows, the Dead Man’s Hand, Pirates learn about Blood’s last request from his death bed, to play a hand of poker with Death. Having a gambling problem, Death agrees.

In the final hand, Blood raises the stakes and wagers his immortal soul. Death of course agrees, that’s when Blood cheats.

Introduced in August 2018, The World of Dreams is a place of Nightmares. Inside this dungeon are battle rooms where you will face off against the toughest of opponents. It’s not for the weak at heart! And these Nightmare Bosses, may seem familiar, but these are battles unlike anything you’ve faced before!

The World of Dreams begins at the Obsidian Door on the Scrimshaw Docks. Once you’ve docked, cross the bridge and run to the right of the ships toward the tavern. Keep going and head over to the Warehouses. At the end of the row of the buildings, you’ll find the Obsidian doorway and sigil. Continue reading →
