* The Apocrea of the 2013 Dark Harvest. They're [[RealityWarper reality-warping]], [[AbstractEater soul-eating]] [[MadeOfEvil beings of darkness]] with terrifying [[TheGrimReaper Grim Reaper]]-esque bodies, who can summon arms out of the ground to root you in place and fire an {{eye beam|s}} attack that takes off your health in seconds [[ThatOneAttack regardless of whether your shield is up]] (something other mobs can't do). They're encountered in graveyards that are far worse than the game's standard variety because of the fog combined with your radar going out, and when you're in said graveyards you'll occasionally get hit with an InterfaceScrew that comes without warning.

* Then the May 21th update came and changed many missions, as well as introducing one: [[spoiler: During this mission, the player finally meets Herex.]] This wouldn't be in the Nightmare Fuel tab, if it wasn't for the fact that Spark and Roar, a 7-3 rank mission, now has [[spoiler: four floors. The fourth has strange black pixelated particles that ressemble the Swarm and a note that says that the Iron Law is broken, the Crimson Order is false, cannot see the Truth, and cannot hear the Resonance that beats within Cradle, finishing with sentences that strongly imply that Herex has been fully corrupted by the Swarm.]]

*** However, the prize for the most Nightmare Fueling mission is the third and last one, [[spoiler: It Came From Below. A squad of the Recon Rangers has gone missing, and it's up to you to find them. The first floor is a Freeze-themed Candlestick Keep, which while quite unnerving, is otherwise normal. But then you reach the second floor... and while at first it looks like an average Cooling Chamber, near the exit, you find the Recon Rangers that had gone missing. The only one standing is shaking in fear and can only say ''Everyone's gone. It... it came from below.'' Then as you move forward, SWARM PARTICLES BEGIN APPEARING. And you have to press a Swarm Switch to advance, which causes Swarm enemies to start spawning. That's right; one of the knights biggest fear has come to pass: '''the Swarm has begun spreading outside of its seals in a big enough quantity that Swarm mooks have begun appearing outside of the deepest concentration'''. And the third floor is the Unknown Passage...]]

** This was made worse with the 2015 February 11 patch, which introduced three new missions:
*** The first one, Breaking in the Recruits, is at first very calm and relaxing, especially after going through the Firestorm Citadel, as you are training recruit knights to be prepared for the puzzles the Clockworks regularily throws at you. Then, roughly [[spoiler: halfway into the mission, the mission has to be called off because ''Ghostmane Gremlins'' are sent by Herex to eliminate you. Reread: He sends his elite mooks against '''RECRUITS''' who most likely have no idea how to deal with them.]]
*** The second mission however, Crimson Chaos, is mostly tame. You have to investigate a Crimson Order base that has gone silent.

* TheSwarm.

to:

* TheSwarm. Basically, it's a bunch of black particles that corrupt and infect anything they touch, including enemies. While traces of it can be found in Spark and Roar's last floor, most of the deadly substance is thankfully sealed away within the Shadow Lairs. Unfortunately, said Shadow Lairs are literally replicas of the boss levels, including the bosses themselves. Considering that the Swarm needs to infect something first to take its form, this implies something very dark... Thankfully, however, Knights are immune to it.

* Spookats seem absolutely adorable, able to compete with the snipes in a head-on cuteness competition... until they are provoked. Their creepy faces and, in deeper tiers, low-pitched and echoey howls, cause many new knights to be rightfully afraid of them.
* The backstory behind trojans also applies. They are apparently old knights whose souls crystallize during a long period of despair. This causes them to turn into statues eventually, and, when woken up, they will attack their fellow knights in a blind rage. This horror comes to a peak when [[spoiler:you have to hunt down a knight who is turning into one.]]

* The history of Almire is as terrifying as it is tragic. Vanaduke became so consumed with rage and despair at the thought of his kingdom falling to invaders that he made a trek into the mountains and prayed to a forgotten god for the power to drive the invaders out. He got what he wished. But soon after, he found his own power was tearing apart his kingdom through his very presence. Everyone within Almire died in a horrific, otherworldly inferno. And Vanaduke was left alone, attempting to atone for his actions by safeguarding the burning ruins from intruders.
