Fighting The Beastie
Mt. Nomad is an incredibly difficult challenge, one that is close to impossible to accomplish in the starter ship (Ligeia-class Steamer). Ships with higher Hull and both Deck and Forward weapon slots are recommended, such as the Corvette, Frigate, and Dreadnought; maintain distance as much as possible so it can't ram you.

For a relatively straightforward fight, you need high Iron (100+) and Mirrors (70+) as well as weapons with base damage of 18 and up. Being hit with a Forward weapon with a Stagger value will slow down its attack on you. Having A Lump of Blue Scintillack is highly helpful as well, as it will greatly increase your rate of attack via its special ability to instantly fill your firing solutions (the blue scintillack itself requires a 20 second charge).

Rewards
Once defeated Mt. Nomad is not truly dead, it merely retreats underwater for a few minutes to recover, when you go to loot the corpse you are given the options to run or attempt to gather some loot, which requires a Veils challenge, if you succeed you will gain 1 Iron as well as 1 Captivating Treasure (You can get Mt Nomad's Heart too!), failure does not exclude you from the haul (barring the Iron gain if it's already 150 or more), but will cost you some crew to collect the prize.

''A ship cannot destroy a mountain. All you have won is life and time while it sinks and heals. But for now, Mt Nomad is silent. And here - the wreck of another, half-consumed ship slides from within. Quickly!''
