First taste of Smite Crawler blood solo...Mmmmm!!

The spawning points of nightmares are generally in the same place if they ever show up. Usually an indicator of a nightmare is a missing patrol member. I'm attaching a picture of very normal spawning locations of nightmares. Of course this is from my own experience, but I've never seen nightmares spawn anywhere else. The red arrow indicates the beginning of the smites. The red dots indicate possible nightmare spawns. They don't show up that often and if you really pay attention to the sounds, you can hear nightmares spawning. The blue arrow is my normal path, it avoids killing of all of the patrols. The breaks between blue arrows are camping spots. Black arrows indicate long pulls to killing spots. The green dot is sometimes used as a killing spot when the last few smites don't want to come down or if you can't get a clear pull on the last smites near the reapers of the ice wastes.

I'm sure it's possible to combine alot of these pulls into larger groups, but i find that keeping them in 6-8 smite groups is best for survibility. You're definitely going to need bonettis if you want to take anymore than that.

From the sounds of your posts, it sounds as if you're going down there solo. Go with an SS necro. It's much much faster. Thanks for the pic(saved it in my folder). I appapently was bitten by the first spawning point for the nightmares; I pulled a small group of smites from down by the second red dot along your path with a longbow up to the first red dot, so I figured I was safe. I didn't even see it coming. I completely changed my mind about soloing UW after I reached to smites. Sure, they seem easier to manage but they take forever to kill with just SoJ. I don't think I'll go into UW by myself for a while now.
