If they kill Nimue with Excalibur the darkness is destroyed, she said herself that she is all dark ones, so it could work! Regardless of what Nimue is truly after, Merlin said that she was needed. Emma made it virtually impossible to destroy the darkness, when she multiplied it by turning Hook into a Dark One. The only way to Nimue to become physical, was to use Gold's blood. The only way to get to Gold, was to enact the Dark Curse.... which Merlin conveniently brewed.
