Remnant 2's One True King boss fight makes up for Annihilation's sins

My appointment with the One True King of Losomn has been a long time coming. I've encountered all manner of would-be royalty in Remnant 2's main campaign, from red-robed princes to imposter kings - but pervasive whispers of the one king to rule them all break through the rabble, and it turns out that news of his death has been greatly exaggerated.

How to unlock the Remnant 2 Ritualist Scythe

How do you unlock the Remnant 2 Ritualist Scythe? The Forgotten Commune is likely the first side dungeon you explore in The Awakened King DLC, so the odds are high that you've picked up a quest item or two while defeating the optional bosses that lurk within. The Scythe Blade and Scythe Hilt seem like a natural fit - in fact, their item descriptions even hint that "if you can reunite them, you'll have a brutal new weapon to add to your collection." But how do you actually do that?

Well, it's more straightforward than you might think - you don't even have to return to Ward 13. When reunited in the action-adventure game, these two quest items form the best melee weapon for the Remnant 2 Ritualist thanks to its unique Remnant 2 mod, which allows you to inflict more damage to enemies suffering from negative status effects. So, if you want to expand your Remnant 2 arsenal with weapons unique to the Remnant 2 Awakened King DLC, here's how to unlock the Ritualist Scythe.

How to unlock the Remnant 2 Ritualist archetype

How do you unlock the Remnant 2 Ritualist? If you've exhausted the base game class selection in Gunfire Games' world-hopping sequel, the odds are high that you've got your eye on the Ritualist. This occult archetype eschews raw firepower in favor of stacking harmful status effects upon foes, inflicting terror, and even draining their own health pool for more damage. If all of the above appeals to you, then unlocking it should be your first priority.

The Ritualist is a Remnant 2 archetype exclusive to the Remnant 2 Awakened King DLC, so that's one obvious barrier to access. Thankfully, the steps to unlock it once you purchase the DLC are fairly straightforward; unlike the Remnant 2 Archon, it requires no special conditions or datamining. Instead, you just have to reach the archetype engram material's secret location in the action-adventure game, and we've scoured the length of the Forlorn Coast to find it. Here's how to unlock the Remnant 2 Ritualist archetype.
