A Nightmare Soul (ナイトメアソウル)[1][2] is an item unique to Mega Man X6. It is a DNA-like energy source produced by the Nightmare that can increase X and Zero's Hunter Rank when collected.
In the Games
Mega Man X6
In Mega Man X6, the term Nightmare Soul is coined by Alia after X collects them from defeating Nightmare Viruses.[3] Doing so increases the player character's Hunter Rank, which allows them to equip more Parts. While the existence of Nightmare Souls is not directly explained in-game, Dynamo, who is trying to collect them to grow stronger too, calls them DNA Souls, implying some sort of connection.[4][5] There are four types of Nightmare Souls.
| Type | Sprite | Worth | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blue (Large) | .gif){kind=small} |
8 | Appears when a Nightmare Virus is destroyed. If left for too long, it degrades into a smaller version. |
| Blue (Small) | .gif){kind=small} |
4 | Appears when a Nightmare Virus is destroyed, but not collected fast enough. If left for too long, it revives the Nightmare Virus entirely. |
| Green | .gif){kind=small} |
200 | Appears when the player defeats one of the eight Nightmare Investigator bosses in under 90 seconds. Also can appear if they strike Dynamo with strong attacks such as his weakness, Meteor Rain/Ensuizan. |
| Red | .gif){kind=small} |
100 | Appears when the player defeats a Nightmare Investigator boss in over 90 seconds. |
