Nightmare settings and prerequisite

The Act 3 selection state keeps Act 4 locked until Frosty Fudge Pass is completed. The later Act 4 detail screen reads Nightmare, ten waves, ten lives and cleared. A shorter wave count than Act 3 does not make it easier; no same-team difficulty comparison was performed.

Rewards and title condition

The captured state says first clear claimed and replay 50 Gems. It does not preserve the original Act 4 reward toast or clear time. The Titles menu separately requires Candy Kingdom Act 4 for Candy Defender; check that title’s status after clearing.

The story description says Ricardio and Goliad return repeatedly. It does not supply a boss skill pattern, damage threshold or a proven team. A stage description is not enough to prescribe a guaranteed clear.

Act 4 is not all five acts

The world progress after this capture is Candy Kingdom 4/5. A later image reaches 5/5 before Ice Kingdom begins. Do not treat clearing Act 4 as proof that the fifth act or its evolution-material route has also been completed. Continue with the world progression reference and Ice Kingdom stage details.
