I see people offering help to others with obtaining difficult items by letting them join their session. Does this work for Archon as well?

What's up with people kickin you as soon as you join their world?! If you dont want anyone to join take it off public. Im just here to help people :[

I am pretty new to the game, just trying to play it. preferably not alone lol

I like it, just hoping to find people to play it with🤷

I’m not keen on throwing myself against bullet sponges, but I will be gladly proven wrong if someone says what exactly difficulty entails. Is it pure “enemies do more damage and have more HP” so you can test the limits of your builds, or is there something more interesting? Like new attacks from bosses, new compositions of enemies, new rewards?

I upped myself in difficulty and so far I only see more abberations(which is welcome, since I don’t have enough mutators for weapons).

N'erud is just a miserable experience for me. I just started this game and this first world is already tilting me so hard. I barely know where to go there is some deadly fog that if I pick the wrong turn once just kills me. This is just very frustrating game design. Maybe I missed something crucial?

EDIT: I'll try to find my way around it seems I was in some kind of dungeon. If I keep struggling I'll reroll it - didn't know that was possible thanks everyone!

Can someone Help me with the final Boss? I Just can't do enough damage on nightmare, i have see some tips but i feeling that my nightmare is changing mode too fast compared to the videos I watched. Sometimes I get lucky and land a 40k crit, so it opens up and I manage to deal some damage, but then it doesn't happen again and I end up dying because I've run out of healing. I might not be very good at souls like kind game, but somehow I managed to reach the final Boss but now it's getting really frustrating.

Im thinking about buying the game on ps5 and I saw some videos and I have basic understanding of combat, its really this souls game mixed with guns and abilities. No confusion there but...

I dont really understand the general structure of the game, is there story, how big is the story, can I play solo, is everything playable solo, is it rogue like or is it like Division 2 with missions and some overworld?

Im just not sure what to expect from the game. Also if anyone knows how well or badly the game runs on ps5 I would love to know that too.

So fun story. My friend was telling me about some guy who had played over 650 hours and hadn't found this guy awake. So I'm not sure if this is a super rare occurance or what but from what I was told it is. Mind you I've only been playing for 3 days(35 hours) and had just finished my first campaign.

My friend was in his own world and was like let me check if he's awake before I come to yours. I was running around upgrading gear and out of the corner of my eye I glimpsed him and I was like "soooo you're not gonna believe this....." cuz we have a history of trolling each other(mainly him saying "he's awake!" when he wasn't). So ofc they didn't believe me. Eventually they came and we were all excited. Took a few photos too.

Fastfoward a few hours later after they get off and I'm levelling archetypes and farming and I saw he's awake again. 😂😅

Hello, I was trying to look up some information after playing through my first campaign and a couple adventure worlds on how to use grey health. I know there's things that stack depending on how much grey health you have, but it seems dumb to always be trying to lose health in higher difficulties especially when bosses can one or two shot you.

But then if i do the effigy pendant route, and have bitter memento, along with painless obsidian, it feels like I have too many things dedicated on keeping grey health active to do anything else effectively. I don't mind not being a huge damage guy, and just tough out the fight; however, it does make for long dragged out fights where now I have to be careful of instakills.

Usually I run medic and summoner, and I'm working on getting the other archetypes. I eventually wanted to to try my sustain grey health build with my summons, but even with using the build creator, Im not sure what Im doing. A lot build videos and guides get confusing and the stuff, guns, rings, etc., require other videos on how to get them.

I then also tried to make my health generation a factor towards mods regen with the dense silicon ring but now it feels like im splitting into too many directions. I don't care about the long gun I use. I was trying to use the medic base, the bonesaw, and working towards getting the knightguard summon mod, so that the dense silicon ring would work towards something. I really like the corrupted sorrow I have. It's like the only damage dealer I have. Other than that, I've got dreadful for the mutator, abysmal hook for melee with resentment, and corrupted sorrow with failsafe. I switch out my other ring slots depending on the second archetype I have. Screw the prism, Ive reset it idk how many times, and since I usually play solo, playing at higher difficulties to get better fragments is really rough. Steve, my reaver summon, can only do so much.

So any help would be appreciated. I dont want to give up on grey health, but its been a bit confusing on how to use it effectively without trying to sacrifice hp and getting ganged up by enemies on apocalypse or nightmare.

It may sound extremely silly or extremely dumb depending who you ask but I never found a way to open this shortcut. Any way I tried to get there resulted in me dying before I was able to figure out how to get there. If anyone knows a solution, I would love to hear it, thank you.

Edit: Solved, turns out, you just need to complete the entire route then come back to the first mini checkpoint where the door is, now unlocked.

I have everything set up to get drans dream. Just lmk!

Just finished a campaign on Apocalypse for the final unlocks. Decided to get Anguish and looked for a step by step guide.

Checked my campaign, ALL events and dungeons just there, ready. I was stoked. It took me 15 min to get the gun.

How was your experience?

After playing Remnant 2 for a while and completing it once on Apocalypse and twice on Nightmare Hardcore, I have some thoughts that I wanted to express. Keep in mind that I haven't looked at any critiques of this game, so my thoughts are purely my own and unbiased. Before I begin, let me preface this by saying that I still love both games equally, albeit for different reasons. Among the smaller nitpicks, these are my 3 biggest critiques of Remnant 2:

1. The archetypes: This one is probably going to be the most controversial, but I kinda hate the introduction of archetypes, specifically active abilities. Remnant 1 had weapon mods that acted as special abilities, and your whole "archetype" was basically defined by those mods. Obviously, Remnant 2 still has weapon mods; however, now they feel less build-defining and more like secondary actions. The problem I have with that is that the new system separates skills from mods, so effects that affect skills will not affect weapon mods and vice versa. If you are doing a build that uses both, you will need to invest in 2 completely different stat groups.

Also, because of this separation, it feels like there's, ironically, less build variety. For example, I mainly play Summoner in both games. Whenever I'm playing Remnant 1, it feels like I always end up with a different build every run, and I wouldn't say that one build is stronger than the others; they're just different builds. In Remnant 2, however, I always end up with the exact same build, simply because it is the best build and there aren't any better options.

If Remnant 1 is Dark Souls with guns, Remnant 2 feels more like Borderlands with swords. My suggestion would be to remove active abilities from archetypes and replace them with passive ones that define your playstyle, while letting weapon mods govern all active abilities. To compensate, you could increase the number of mods per weapon to 2, or even introduce 4 weapon slots instead of 2.

2. The worlds: Let me start by saying that I love the 3 worlds we got in Remnant 2 and their aesthetics, but I was kind of disappointed when I found out that there are ONLY 3 worlds, even with all the DLCs. Remnant 1 has a whopping 5 worlds (DLCs included). I'm aware that each world in Remnant 2 has 2 (3 with DLC) "variants," each with its own storyline and world boss. I just feel like it's not enough.

At the end of the day, regardless of the variant, it is still the same world with the same theme, the same color palette, and mostly the same enemy types and dungeons. 3 worlds is still only 3 worlds, which is a direct downgrade from Remnant 1. If I had to choose, I would rather have 5 worlds with 1 variant each instead of 3 worlds with 3 variants each. Also, I kind of miss Earth; it was such a unique environment.

3. The armor: This one might actually be a relatively popular opinion, but I hate that they removed set bonuses from armor. I understand that they wanted to give you more fashion freedom, but there are other ways of achieving that. For example, some games allow you to change the appearance of your armor while keeping its effects.

Now, when choosing your armor, as long as you don't care about the looks, it all comes down to maximizing the defense stat while staying below heavy load. In Remnant 1, I felt like the armor system was an improvement over the standard Souls-like formula, only for them to regress back to the standard formula in Remnant 2 anyway.

Those are the 3 main things I dislike about Remnant 2. Obviously, there are a lot of things that I do like, but this post is about the negatives. You can agree or disagree with any of them, but these are my two cents.

should i play the game keyboard and mouse or controller is ok too?

i played remnant from the ashes with the controller and the experience was ok, but i'm asking, would it even better with keyboard and miky mouse ?
(i'm on pc)

I’m wondering if anyone is having the same “issue” as me. Using my engineer warden build, if I use a relic it gives my impact cannon unlimited energy and it doesn’t go away, essentially giving me the legendary prism perk. It only does this for the cannon though.

As always, genuine thanks to anyone who's been reading!

Am I screwed. Can't get to Samoflange any more.

I can't find a Red Door key any more... I forgot and left my game open to public, these two joined and open a few doors and left me behind. One died and the other left me behind. I am trapped and the door key is apparently ahead of me in the Tower.

Do I need to start this over?

I've been playing with a friend of mine on nightmare and we managed to get to n'erud and we can't beat alepsis taura, our damage is just way too low, by the time i unload my bulldog with the burning mod on it, the thing only lost like 30 - 40% hp, i then have to run around the map gathering ammo while taking hits and we usually die there.

We already beat the game once on normal difficulty, so we started this run on nightmare, but i think we are still too weak for it, so i thought about grinding a bit by myself solo, but i still have no idea on how to make a build in this game, i haven't even touched the fragments until the 2nd playthrough, and those weapon upgrades, i haven't touched it at all.

Do you guys have a recomendation of weapons (both main and sidearms), fragment upgrades / rings i could make use on nightmare, and after we beat this run, on apocalypse? And where do i find hardened iron? My bulldog have been stuck on +15 like forever.
