Neverness To Everness is one of the rare gacha games where the side activities are just as fun and engaging as the main story — maybe even more. This is partly because the game offers a variety of gameplay modes, including management tasks and anomaly commissions.
Ride Assault is one of the anomaly commissions available in the Bridge Crossings area. You can easily mark its location on your map, but you won’t be able to start this quest until you reach the spot at the right time. Keep in mind, you should be prepared for a fight before entering.
How to Start the Ride Assault Commission
To begin the Ride Assault quest, open your map and select the anomaly commissions in the bottom right corner. Find Ride Assault under the Bridge Crossings area. Once there, click the track button to mark the location on your map. Before heading out, make sure it’s nighttime — you can change the time in the game’s main menu using the Time System. Also, you need to be in a four-wheeler; attempting this with a bike didn’t work for us.
Once those conditions are set, go to the marked circle on the tracking screen and stay on the road. When you arrive at the location, all nearby vehicles will disappear, and an inferno rider will spawn just before quickly entering a nearby tunnel. The rider is fast, but you don’t need to keep up with its speed. Keep following it along the road it takes, and eventually, it will lead you into a fiery tunnel that guides you to the battlefield against the Headless Rider. Defeat the rider and contain it to finish the commission and earn the arc.
Tips to Defeat the Headless Rider
The battle against the Headless Rider is fairly straightforward. Here are some tips to help you succeed:
- The rider moves around a lot, but instead of trying to follow every move, wait at your spot and let the rider come to you with its attacks. Dodge these attacks and strike back before it leaves.
- Keep an eye on the enemy and watch for its attack cues. Some attacks need to be dodged, while others can be parried.
- The rider can create pools of fire on the ground that explode after a few seconds. Avoid standing in these areas to prevent being knocked up and taking damage.
- Some attacks have a delay, meaning they hit about a second after the red glow appears. Be prepared to dodge with this timing in mind.
- Characters like Jiuyuan are effective during this fight thanks to their long-range skills. Daffodill can also help by quickly removing its break bar.
