- Estimated achievement difficulty: 6/10
- Offline: 50 [1000

- Online: 0 [0

- Approximate amount of time to 1000

- Minimum number of playthroughs needed: 1 full playthrough, lots of partial playthroughs through Adventure mode.
- Missable achievements: Technically none, as Adventure mode allows you to reroll and replay chapters.
- Does difficulty affect achievements: No
- Unobtainable/glitched achievements: There are a lot of issues with co-op players at the moment. If you’re playing solo, or the host, the counters seem to work with no issues. If you’re a co-op player though, you might get into a bit of trouble. Hopefully there’s a patch coming soon. If not, just play solo.
Intro
The original Remnant game (Remnant: From the Ashes) was the very definition of a cult game. A game that was slow to get going, but via word of mouth, it grew to reach a pretty impressive audience. It was a game that whoever played it, loved it. Remnant 2, then, is the much more accomplished sequel from Gunfire Games. Meaning, in short, it’s bloody great!
In a nutshell, Remnant 2 is effectively Dark Souls with guns. It’s a game with procedurally generated worlds, some really creative missions and secrets, and a really satisfying action-RPG shooter loop. You’ll go from region to region shooting enemies galore, gearing up for the satisfying boss fights. It sounds great, looks pretty decent and is surprisingly deep, what’s not to love?
Walkthrough
Right, so we’ve gushed over it, now let’s get into the nitty gritty. First things first, and this is incredibly important: Remnant 2, like the original, has procedurally generated worlds. That means what we see, and where we encountered things, might not be exactly the same for you - in fact, it might be completely different. That’s great for replayability! Fantastic news! But it makes writing a guide very tricky. However, we’ve tried to include all possible outcomes for as much as we can.
We should mention in further detail too the issues that the game is having with achievements and co-op. But the rule quite simply is: play alone and you’ll have no issues; be the host and you shouldn’t have any issues; play as a guest in someone else’s game and you might come unstuck… well, until it’s patched, that is. So, our advice for now: play alone, or host someone who has already completed the game if you need assistance. If I’m being honest too, I played co-op for a bit with an underleveled friend and it made some of the boss fights harder, which is worth bearing in mind too.
Now that’s out the way, let’s run into how you should play it.
Step 1 - Play the Game You Way
The first step is quite simple: play the game, do your path through to the final boss, defeat the final boss, enjoy yourself. You should, however, keep an eye on a few things and on our few breakout guides:
- Melee weapon locations for Edgelord (10G) and Cutting Edge (20G) - Remnant 2 melee weapons locations guide.
- Gun locations for Strapped (10G) and The Trigger (20G) - Remnant 2 long gun and handgun weapons locations guide.
- Aberration locations for Am I Seeing This? (20G) and Ghost in the Machine (40G) - Remnant 2 Aberrations locations guide.
- Relic locations for The Collector (30G) - Remnant 2 relic locations guide.
- Also, speak to Mudtooth at various junctures to get Tall Tales (10G) too.
While playing through the game naturally you should unlock multiple Archetypes (for Shhh...It's a Secret (10G), Duality (20G) and Top Performer (30G). You should also encounter a number of Traits to unlock too.
You’ll probably start upgrading your weapons (No One Should Have All That Power (40G)), crafting a boss weapon and upgrading it (The Ultimate Weapon (30G)) and upgrading your relic (Make Some Room (10G)).
Just keep playing, getting as much Scrap as you can (to go towards Scrap Hoarder (30G) ) and working your way through the game.
Once you’ve completed a world you’ll unlock Adventure mode, but I’d leave that until you complete the game once.
If I can offer a handy tip though, to make the boss fights that much easier, just remember that the game assigns the worlds and areas a level based upon your current equipped gear. So, if you save the weapon upgrades (by hoarding the various iterations of Iron) until you come to a boss you’re struggling against, or even better, a World Boss (especially the Nightweaver (Dark Designs (30G)) and the final boss (Forever is a Long Time Coming (50G))), you’ll be able to overlevel yourself against said boss. This was a strategy that helped me out from beginning to end.
Also, don’t forget to unlock that second Archetype (Duality (20G)) as soon as you can.
I will say, before you get cracking though, take a look at the structure in step 2 for the missable stuff, because if you roll the Tal’Ratha storyline first, it might save you a bit of time to choose to get devoured at the beginning of the encounter, so you can get Was This Supposed To Happen? (20G), which is rewarded for getting a World Boss’ alternate reward.
Step 2 - Use Adventure Mode to Access New Content
The next step once you’ve beaten the final boss is to go back to the areas in Adventure mode and complete what you haven’t done already… which will be a lot.
Let’s run you through the achievements (per world) you should get across multiple playthroughs - including bosses per area, and area specific achievements:
Losomn
- Losomn has two potential storylines: The Nightweaver storyline (Dark Designs (30G)) and the One True King storyline (Traitor (30G) ). If you start in Morrow Parish, that’s the Nightweaver storyline. If you start in the Beatific Palace, you’re on the One True King storyline.
- Make sure you actually speak to Nimue in Nimue’s Retreat to get Blue Goddess (10G).
- If you’re on the Nightweaver storyline, don’t forget to get an item from the Nightweaver’s Web for The Web (20G).
- Once you have the Biome Portal Key, seek out the portal that takes you back to Ward 13 to get Leto’s Stash for The Agenda (10G).
- Yaesha also has two potential storylines: the Ravager storyline (Chaos (30G)) and the Corruptor storyline involving Many Faces (The God Gambit (30G)). If you start in The Red Throne, you’re on the Many Faces storyline. If you start in the Forbidden Grove, you’ve started the Ravager storyline.
- Look out for the Flautist if you get the Withering Weald spawn to get the Familiar Face (10G) - the Flautist may appear in other variations too, so keep an eye out for blue character icon on your map when in this world.
- Speak to Meidra in either The Far Woods/The Forbidden Growth in Yaesha (after defeating Legion, and travelling through The Twisted Chantry) and get an alignment reading for Equal Measures (10G).
- Look out for the two Blood Moon Room locations for Red Room (10G): either the Imperial Gardens or the Cathedral of Omen.
- Keep an eye out for the Blood Moon Altar for Bad Moon Rising (10G). We found the altar in the Far Woods (on the Many Faces storyline), after we defeated the Mother Mind in the Nameless Nest, and reemerged back into the Far Woods.
- If you’re on the Ravager storyline, don’t forget to play the secret song on the water harp for Carnage in C-Minor (10G).
- Also, if you’re on the Ravager storyline, choose to kill the Doe at the beginning of the Ravager fight to get Only Human (10G) too.
- Again, N’Erud also has 2 main storylines: the Tal’Ratha storyline (Madman's Paradise (30G)) and the Guardian/Seeker storyline (Power Surge (30G)). If you start in the Forgotten Prison, you’re on the Tal’Ratha storyline. If you start in Seeker’s Rest, you’re on the Seeker/Guardian storyline.
- Look out for the Ascension Spire. When you find it, head inside and speak to the Custodian for Not a Janitor (10G).
If you haven’t done so already, visit Wallace to make your secret Archetype Engram for Shhh...It's a Secret (10G).
At this point though, aside from mopping up some more Aberrations, or getting weapons you may have missed, you should be all done.
Remember, if you’re going after a specific storyline or item, or world state, keep rerolling in Adventure mode until you get the world state you want.

Quite how long this takes you is a little luck based, to be honest. Especially if you need a specific side mission or world state to get a weapon or item you’ve missed. However, the game makes it easy to keep rolling, so all it will take is some patience.
While the achievements in the game itself aren’t too hard, we’ve given it a nice solid 6 in terms of difficulty because the game can be hard - it is a Soulslike, after all. That said, it’s an enjoyable game, and because you don’t see all the content or fight all the bosses in your first runthrough (you can’t, it’s impossible), retrying areas to see new storylines actually doesn’t get old one bit.
If you stick to the assistance in this guide though, and in this Road Map, you’ll be absolutely fine. And remember, until they’ve sorted out the achievement tracking issues, I’d stick to playing it solo.
And on that note… good luck out there!
