Exactly. I have made a screenshot after turning on the option about clearing the arena (damn it. it is to big to upload.)
I can’t find the last shard (even after running through the whole second part twice). It’s name is Zuwz. Could you just say in which area i should search again?
So the reason why the Ghosts (Heroes) did not spawn is indeed a bug. Pretty much the sum of your encounters (Worms 25 + Ghosts 60) is exactly the cost of the enemy (85). Just a minor mistake in the script that ignores such a combination, gonna fix that eventually. Don’t know about the Nemesis not spawning, I could not reproduce that, unfortunately.
As for the shard, don’t know which one that is, but you can check the end of this post, all their locations are listed there: [Mod] Nydiamar
EDIT: By the way, these Worms (Aetherial) are way too cheap, gotta up their price.
EDIT2: I take it back. This is not the reason, and the sum can be equal the cost.
EDIT3: I figured it out. I think Grim Dawn has some sort of limit on how many heroes, bosses and so on can spawn in an area — this means if I would spawn a bunch of heroes, and then again, and again, after a while I would stop being able to spawn any in. You can notice this inside the arena, where the first few encounters always got some heroes, while the ones later on have none or only very rarely one.
This is why the Ghosts (Heroes) encounter stops spawning after a while, it only consists of heroes, so it can’t spawn anything.
The same goes for the Nemesis encounter, I assume. It also did stop spawning anything, even after leaving the map and doing other stuff for a while and then coming back.
I honestly can not think of any solution right now. The only thing to make this special arena and mechanic function would be to limit the amount of tries to maybe three or four per game session, and then also decrease the entrance fee for picking up the loot.
At least we know now why this happens. First step to find a solution 
But honestly the “Pet Mini Game” is a cute idea but at least for me not the end of the world if this is restricted the way you have described it.
Conquering down my first Nemesis in the deserts. Btw: The negative meter of the hostile faction are working like in vanilla? I mean specially in case of more monster/hero spawns and the Nemesis System.

Not sure there is a limit, in my version of Grimmest I have tons of bosses and nemesis spawning, all in the same area too as far as I can tell (did not change the map, just spawn them from existing proxies, so not sure where in area begins and ends).
Maybe it is a matter of how you spawn them ? Grimmest does in a Lua script.
I did discover a few things when messing with respawns and extra spawns in Grim Harvest.
Since in GD you can have one instance of a hero spawn once per session, that entity is essentialy black listed from spawning again.
However this extends, to when you are spawning them from a script as well.
This line here: Proxy.Create(record, object:GetCoords().origin, true)
Grimmest might have every proxy spawned by a script and all naturall ones just being a trigger, so no natural spawns and you find multiple heroes.
Edit: Or it does it with character.create()
Hope this helps in some way
I gave this a try, and this is true, heroes only spawn once — is this common knowledge, how did I not notice this? EDIT: You can have multiple heroes of the same type, but only from one proxy. Then afterwards this hero gets blacklisted.
ignoreGameBalance also does not seem to do anything (for that matter).
it does
for i = 1, heroCount do local spawn = Character.Create( gd.grimmest.heroes[ faction ][ random( 1, table.getn( gd.grimmest.heroes[ faction ] ) ) ], avgPlayerLvl, nil ) if ( spawn ~= nil ) then spawn:SetCoords(coords) end end
I got it working by using Proxy.Create(record, object:GetCoords().origin, true). Honestly did not expect to ever fix this, but it was quite easy to rewrite everything, including the way I previously used the wave events.
Thanks for the help!
Patch 1.1
Changes from 1
Additional Changes from .1
(+) = Nydiamar & Nydiamar Dungeons
(–) = Nydiamar
Due to the no longer fixed amount of Hero-type creatures that can spawn, the balance might now be a bit scuffed (even more than before!).
(Reseted with Patch .1) Type this into the in-game console to receive 300 Currency of Sedaah for free: character.grantplayertoken CATCHING_FREE_COINS
EDIT .1:
Overall, the whole mechanic should now be easier and more rewarding (and especially more functional), which hopefully leads to some people using it more.

Praise to the Houck baby…
Okay after testing a little bit it seems to work. But now i have another issue with the Sedaah ruins.
Note: Started a new game and doing nothing then going to Sedaah Ruins.
After a couple of fights (4-6?) the dialog about clearing the arena doesn’t change. I have won the last and first fight and the nemesis have had spawnt and cleard my minions. After that it has died as intended but the dialogue doesn’t change. I even teleport through the portal to the Edge Area and back but that doing nothing.
Is this maybe, because the clearing in this scenario does mean to loot the ground? Maybe no more place for new loot
Edit: Okay could not be the loot, because i’m not able to enter the arena by paying the fee. There is no option to do that at the intended lecter to the left (just before the gate). It is showing the new 50k fee, but no option to pay it (and i have 152k in my inventory, checked that, too)
Looks like I gotta test this more. Frustrating stuff.
EDIT1: I think I found the cause, some old line from before. I will test it tomorrow.
EDIT2: I have updated the patch above:
Let it run on the side for a while, here is the result:
I was able to enter and loot all that stuff too, so the arena should finally be fixed.
Feedback to 1.1.
Yup everything is working for me, too. I have used over 1000 Tokens in 2 runs. I fought at least at Tier 1 against nearly all encounters.

First, thanks for the mod, it’s been great so far.
I found a bug with the wizard’ Hydra.
The lvl12 resist debuff doesn’t work with the lightning one. (Both missing in spell tooltip, and not applying the debuff).
The regular fire hydra has the debuff working correctly, but it seems the direct hit part of the spell only hits once total, instead of per hydra, if they shoot at the same target. Tho if each hydra aims at different targets, they correctly shoot 3 times total.
read the transmuters description
My bad, i overlooked the transmuters.
What about the fire hydras doing a third of dmg if they aim at the same target ?
Edit: just re-tested it, it’s the way dmg is displayed that is wrong. It only shows the burn dot, but not the fire hits.
No, you’re right. Fire damage doesn’t stack at the same target, it will be increased in a future patch.
I have updated the Diablo 3 classes to 3.8.
I almost automated the whole patching process, that’s why I can release this so quickly. I only tested Ultimate, but every version should work.
So finished the main campaign yesterday with my Demon Hunter Wizard (Level 80, and without God events and blessings). Imo the very good quality is transported till the end. I love the joke with the crate entertainment (and finally a place tro farm scrap. Thx Van_Houck )
Another good idea is the list after finishing the campaign, which is clarifying what you don’t have finished so far.
My only little critic is, that the amazing music titles of the first half are in the end “only” good and imo the vanilla music is still used to often (but that is only my impression, maybe because of the dungeons i have played in the end).
If i get it right, i should play till level 100 in nydiamar and then i should switch to Dungeons, do i?
Edit: 2 more points mentioned as Feedback
The game is telling you that a quest is finished, even if enemys are still around (and the quest is about killing all enemys). Imo the problem are the splitting crystals. The quest follower seems to ignore the crystals after the first split. You are able to copy that behaviour in the final fight (same thing at the sixth devotion dungeon).
There is an exploit possible by using the shortcut and run into the final area “A Dream? (The End)” after the first time. The three chests are spawning above the already opended ones again.
Edit 3: Question about the riddle in the depraved Ruins.
I was quite confident to get the solution but after stepping at the tile, which has a 0 chance to be next one nothing happens beside the normal “you stepped on the wrong tile” event.
Imo the tile to the far right in the second line is at one moment a tile which has a 0 chance. What am i missing? The 2 Skillpoints are a too juicy reward to skip them (specially after i get kicked out by the “enemy” with one hit in the secret rift ^^)
Edit 4: The Rogue Dungeon Where the time goes
Weard behaviour. After running into the most far corner to the east/south i waited until the 6 MInutes are gone. Then the message appear that i’m able to use the exit. But the moment i got in range of the teleporter the ghosts swarming me. After killing a few waves (maybe again 6 Minutes, dunno), in between the teleporter was still locked, the message about leaving the area appears again. Now the porter was unlocked but the ghosts spawning every 2 seconds only to die instantly. But they dropping items and components like i have killed them (but giving no XP at least). Seems not the behaviour as intended
Edit 5: I can’t get a nightmare anymore. 16 out of 16 the normal A Dream is coming. I even enabled the option to always have a dream (6 runs). Weard.
Great to hear that you got through the mod! Impressed that you got through it without Blessings, considering that some stuff is scaled up to multiple players such as damage and enemies having a few additional levels compared to vanilla!
About buggy quests. The proxy of the crystals is part of a wave event, so when they get killed that proxy is marked as being done — and therefore the event too. There is no way for the game to know that these spawned enemies from the crystals are still related to the event. Luckily nothing game-breaking.
Exploit. Noted it, is trivial to fix, thanks for telling. The chests you get the second time are quite worthless, though. You get the good ones only once.
Path Puzzle.
So the hint has nothing to do with the partial solution (must be assumed or else there would have been multiple “0% tiles”) and goes as follows:
Important here is “the next correct tile” part. Of course when you get to the second row, suddenly all tiles below are “0% tiles”, so you need to assume that the secret tile can never be one that could have been correct before.
Now here is the solution I made a while ago.
The grey path with the question mark does not make any sense — you could just go directly to the correct tile on the left, and therefore the tile below can never be right.
I’m aware of this and was just hoping that people would not run into the corners (and then even stay there)! The fix for this is completely trivial which annoys me that I forgot about that.
Give it another try should you do the secret above, and then stay close to the exit (and don’t pause the game there). One of my favorite areas when it works.
I just gave the latest patched version a try, and for me it is still working fine, with and without the option enabled. I honestly have no idea how this can not work. Did you ever get the Nightmare with this character before?
Yeah, I think Level 100 is even required — but your character should be really good before doing the switch. Nydiamar Dungeon is, especially after the last update, very difficult and over-tuned, but that’s the whole point of it. Just keep on it, use the Blessings, and optimize your character — and then you can fully enjoy the madness.
