* Splinterbark Nightmare subdued
* Memory captured
*Return to Dactylis in Elysian Hold.

==Description==
Your target lies near the Oaken Assembly in Ardenweald on the Elder Strand. Take caution, for powerful drust forces lurk nearby.
Once your target is in sight, activate the beacon and protect the praetors that arrive as they work to subdue the beast. You will only be able to capture its memory once it has been fully incapacitated.
Make haste, and good luck. Follow the path.

==Progress==
Do not delay. Should the beast be made manifest, it will prove too powerful to capture.
==Completion==
The Nightmare's memory will prove a formidable opponent. May its physical form remain at rest.
==Notes==
The Splinterbark Nightmare and the place for beacon are surrounded by three Oakheart Drust-Taken.
After placing the beacon, Ardent Pacifiers start appearing and channeling magic into the Splinterbark Nightmare. As they do, Wracking Pains and Vile Wraiths appear. Finally, a Living Nightmare appears. After it is killed, the centurions fly away. At this point, use the Soul Mirror on the Splinterbark Nightmare.
