How to easily defeat Ivy’s Nightmare in Harry Potter Magic Awakened?

You will come across a main story mission in Harry Potter Magic Awakened wherein Ivy goes missing and you are tasked to find her. At this point, you will face off against Ivy’s Nightmare. The game recommends having Spellbook Level 27 and Echo Level 10.

You must make note of the following attacks that Ivy’s Nightmare can resort to during the fight:

• Her prime attack is a spell in the form of an orb that gets rid of your summoned allies and also impacts your health. If you have a low Spellbook or Echo level you can even die from this attack.
• She has the ability to summon snakes that slowly moves toward you and deal some damage.
• She can also use Incendio occasionally.

The best tactic to use against her is to have some robust spell cards in your deck. Since she can defeat your summons easily, it is best to find an opening first and then use them against her.

You can consider using the following spell cards against Ivy’s Nightmare:

• Acromantula Venom
• Sectumsempra
• Incendio
• Oppugno
• Atmospheric Charm
• Troll (to distract her attacks from you)
• Essence of Dittany (for healing)

If you are inclined to use spells it is wise to have Hermione Granger Echo as it reduces the MP cost of your spells. Ensure to have her as a companion card as well wherein she casts the exact same spell that you use.

If you cast Sectumsempra (or any other spell) while Hermione is summoned, she will also cast that spell. But before summoning her, try to use the Troll card as Ivy will most likely use her lethal attack to decimate your summons. You must use Hermione right after Ivy unleashes her attack on the Troll so that you get some time to cast spells in tandem with Hermione.

You are free to use any deck of your choice and even resort to other Echoes like Newt Scamander if you are inclined to use cards like Niffler, Matagot, Spiders, and Fwoopers. It is however best to try and use spells to deplete Ivy’s health.
