Remnant 2 | Annihilation final boss fight | Easy guide

[@danowarhealy6890]

One of the worse bosses in souls history due to the fact everg attack basically takes up the whole screen

[@gusomajic]

Yeah the last phase can be absolutely crazy some times! You barely get a chance to breath with all the dodging needed. Have you completed it?

[@gusomajic]

Definitely the toughest boss from the game!

[@GothicDragonX]

Man, I just got done with this boss after 20+ attempts on the first phase. Always died on the 2nd phase as it was way too chaotic, but eventually got it. There are too many things on screen, and the glitching/distortion between both realms is annoying. At least in the second phase, its regular attacks didn't deal too much damage, just random damage from multiple artifacts on screen x_x

[@gusomajic]

I totally agree! The 2nd phase is bloody crazy, so much clutter on the screen. The sound indicators were the biggest help for me. What did you find the biggest help for you?

[@richardfisher8460]

Once you learn to dodge just after any swish sound, and dodge straight when in 2nd phase transitions between the 2 arenas hes much easier. Turn the music off to hewr the swishes, also make sure to pick up red ammo whenever you can before 2nd phase

[@gusomajic]

I 100% agree Richard! Once you hear the loud attack noises it makes it so much easier

[@mamauu975]

I am stuck at the boss with Handler/hunter and a Hunting Bow. My dog is absolutely useless and it is kind of depressing too see how much better the engineer turret is. And without all your tankiness (from lifesteal / void cloak etc.) I just die really fast in phase 2 ...

[@gusomajic]

I’ll help you through it :) I highly recommend going and collecting the Leto mark 2 armour from the labyrinth and buying the bright steel ring from reggie in ward 13. It’ll give you way more survivability. Have you tried finding the engineer archetype in Nerud yet?

[@jhonadaneureta8909]

My dog just watches me die 😢 some games with summon let the summon pick up stuff like ammo that would've been at least what they've allowed

@@YourFaveFireMan no I haven’t, but I’ve heard that was REALLY difficult! Would you say it had the hardest boss fights?

[@jhonadaneureta8909]

This is why I hate games with classes vs rune based ones like elden ring, it makes it impossible to respec the build. I had to fight this boss multiple times with my dog just watching me die. At least they could've made the pet not so useless against not grounded bosses like at least damn pick up some ammo

Yeah it is a shame how some classes aren’t as effective against certain enemies. But the dog collecting ammo would be a great addition!

[@gusomajic]

@@dannycolwell8028 I’m happy to help :) With the summoner make sure you have 2 summons on the field and use the “soul guard” ring if you have it. It’ll reduce your damage a lot. Also use the soul link ring if you have it and they will help your health regenerate

[@Bloodtoxx]

Burden of the Mariner's "Increased skill cooldown" means it'll take longer for your skills to cooldown, not shorter. All of the burden rings have a drawback. The Gift of the Unbound amulet removes the negative effects of burden rings, but with an increasing penalty per effect removed.

[@gusomajic]

Correct! :)

@@Bloodtoxx I appreciate the help with the error! :)

[@mysteryneophyte]

how many new players do you think have so many archetypes unlocked that they can just randomly pull up whichever ones you recommend dude end of the ones that are unlocked I wonder if they are all upgraded well enough to be usable in this fight

[@gusomajic]

I get what you’re saying. The most important thing is to have the music turned off so you can hear the dodge indicating noises. Plus if you have access to the medic and challenger than use them as they have perks that give you massive healing and 2nd chances when close to death

[@sparrowhawk6748]

80% of this boss fight is the movie "Dodgeball" the rest is running adventure mode until you get good loot.

[@gusomajic]

Just remember if you can dodge a wrench you can dodge a ball…..

[@StarBoundFables]

This boss, & the buildup fights + Root Earth exploration, was epic 😄 I made a few attempts last night, & after watching this vid, I got it on my 3rd. Putting Engi (level 4) as main class really helped. I was only level 12 power level before trying. Rocked: Blackmaw + Enigma. Survival difficulty. Thanks again, you rock! 🙏🏽

You’re welcome and congratulations! It’s a tough challenge 🎉🎉

[@jasonhounsell3297]

Ok this is my first play through and I’m doing on nightmare, and get second half down to about 50% - taking a break and seeing how others are doing it…. Just have all the end game loot from many play throughs and classes you need to level and watch videos to get… dude, people watching these kinds videos are like me, I don’t have half the gear you do if any, I don’t have engineer, the bow, any of the rings except fae sigil. I mean I’ll complete it, I can no hit the first part now, but remember your audience.

[@gusomajic]

Very true mate, do you have the medic and challenger classes? They are great in combination for their second chances they give you if you die

[@MisterD90x]

came back after a year, progress through to this boss, got to phase two... and i just feel sick with all the swapping and glitchy stuff, makes me want to throw up, two attempts got to 1/2 phsse 2 and i cant. after watching your fight youre spending a fair amount of time in each dimention, i was getting maybe 5-10 seconds before swapping each time

[@stegelder2783]

turn the music volume off alone won me this fight on apocalypse much appreciated

[@gusomajic]

You’re welcome! :)

[@vetev]

Turning off the music really won this fight. Unfortunately all other tips were useless for me. I don't have the archetypes/amulets/rings/weapons mentioned in the video. Giving more general advice would be more helpful for people doing their first playthrough.

[@gusomajic]

The music volume is the best general tip, it’s like lowering the difficulty haha

[@tylerrrrrrrrr6846]

I have the challenger and Hunter any tips?

[@gusomajic]

I would use juggernaut skill with the challenger for the extra survivability and I would use the hunters shroud. Let me know if you want more tips :)

[@mrbat879]

This is great and all but this is my first play through and hav emo idea how to get most of this stuff. 4:09

[@gusomajic]

We can make it work for most archetypes :) What archetypes do you have unlocked?

[@SemperSalam]

Damn how short is this game? Can’t believe this if the final boss.

[@gusomajic]

If you just do the main story stuff and go straight to the final boss it won’t be very long. The main length of the game comes from re rolling in adventure mode to collect all of the items. As well as doing the campaign again but on apocalypse difficulty to unlock the items locked behind that difficulty :)

[@nonfickshun]

If you're turning off the soundtrack, you're doing it wrong. Annihilation theme is life.

[@gusomajic]

It is a shame to miss out on the soundtrack! But hopefully once people beat it for the first time they can return with great builds and they can have the soundtrack pumping at full sound 🔥🔥🔥

[@the3vilpepper218]

If you could literally lock on to the thing, so the camera stays with him at all times. This hoss would be done on my 1st attempt. The camera is the biggest issue with this fight for sure

[@gusomajic]

Yeah it’s definitely tricky to keep track of the boss when he jumps around everywhere. Did you manage to complete it?

[@the3vilpepper218]

@gusomajic alone no😂just as I'm giving up, 2 players join me and absolutely smashed him. Does he always have to be fought every time I do a campaign? Generally, I don't like the fight lol, worst souls type boss imo

[@gusomajic]

@@the3vilpepper218 hahah that would have a been a nice relief! 😂 Yeah you need to fight it as the final boss in every play through, but once you get better gear from each play through it makes the final boss much easier to defeat.

[@angelovalencia2547]

I'm currently playing on APOC, where one mistake means death.

[@gusomajic]

Yeah apocalypse is no joke! I used a healing tank build for apoc

[@donnydarko9658]

So you basically tell us to get two new classes and adjust our build entirely to the boss so we can beat it ... Great guide -.-

[@gusomajic]

The main universal tips are to turn your music volume off so you can hear when to dodge. Then use classes that give extra healing or protection to survive any mistakes you may make. For example using the challenger and the medic is a great combo to use in this fight

[@Lancer78x]

This is all good, and good explanation but I'm not sure your build is doable on my first playthrough.. I am only level 7 main and 4 on 2nd archetype and struggling a little at Veteran, although walked through game up until this point with no challenges..

[@gusomajic]

Yeah the game scales really hard on this final fight. What you could do and I would recommend it, Is start an adventure re roll on any world you like and grind out your archetypes to get them to level 10. Then you can load up your story and start back at the final fight. You’ll be so much stronger. Do you understand how to use the adventure and story system?

[@Lancer78x]

@@gusomajic Yea, I heard that killing the 3 elite at red throne was the fastest way to level. I got sage ring, but that is the only xp boost item I can get atm I think. So having 2 level 10s is that big of difference?

[@gusomajic]

@@Lancer78x yeah having 2 archetypes at level 10 will be a massive difference. It will give you full access to all of their perks, the perks add big buffs!

Why on earth would this help me, i play as a handler coupled with the alchemist on survivor, and i think the fight sucks.

[@gusomajic]

There is some helpful information that helps for all archetypes. Have you turned off the music so you can hear the loud dodging indicators? Also using the shielded heart as your relic will give you much more survivability :) Also to help you should try equipping the healing weapon mod on your weapon so you can get important healing regularly. Let me know how you go with this and good luck!

[@oropher1234]

@@gusomajic meh, i think i just decided to not play this game ever again, i got to the second phase without getting hit, and for no reason the boss is suddenly a massive HP trunk with attacks that are basically not evadable for as long as you need to get his HP down. Now my dog can revive me once, but thats it. There is no way i am going to do all kinds of effort to still get the job done, i came this far with what i had without much trouble, this shouldn't be borderline impossible.

[@ashkaye545]

I used the engineer main and summoner sub and within 5 tries smashed him/her/them on Apocalypse 👍 One tip I have is to turn your game music really low and every time you hear that ‘shwing’ noise dodge half a second later. With the summons and turret out you can concentrate on surviving while they do most of the DPS. For me personally I found the Labyrinth boss so much harder 😅 that was more of a challenge then fight but man did that twist my melon!

[@gusomajic]

Great work! I haven’t really played much with the summoner/engineer combo yet. Is that what you used for most of apocalypse? Very interesting that you found labyrinth harder! So many people say the same thing. I found a fairly easy way to defeat the labyrinth

[@GamingonFiction]

I’m sorry, but this is not for newer players, regardless of the difficulty level you used. Requiring such a specific build that is not going to be available to anyone on there first play through that didn’t already have them unlocked and leveled up makes this not much help.

[@gusomajic]

I created this video on my first play through and got all of these items needed before facing the final boss. The biggest tip for any new player is to have your music volume turned off or really low, it’ll help so much and allow you to hear the dodge noise indicators.

[@GamingonFiction]

@@gusomajic can I ask if you did adventure mode or much grinding? I’m not anywhere near as equipped and I’m at the the final of my first play through. I have done zero adventure mode or grinding and am playing solo. And I’ve adjusted the sound as recommended, it’s the unreasonable amount of bullshit the second phase throws at you. I’m not a souls master(though I play most of them usually through NG+), but it feels pretty bad spending hours getting nowhere. Thank you for the feedback!!

[@gusomajic]

@@GamingonFiction yeah I played solo but I did some adventure mode to help level up my archetypes. I totally understand your frustration, it’s very full on when you first try it out. Do you have access to the medic archetype? The shielded skill ability is great to help with survivability. And if you don’t have the engineer or invader then I would pair it with the challenger and use the 2nd skill that adds extra damage reduction through the bulwark. Have the challenger as your prime archetype so you get access to its primary perk being the 2nd life. That should be a big help :)

[@paxpw4017]

I figured out how to beat the boss hitless and it makes annihilation look like a joke, I’ll tell you what I learned 😊 Go into the fight and not hurt the boss, see how long you survive, learn it’s attacks as it’s attacks don’t change until second phase, once you don’t have a skill issue anymore and make annihilation look like an idiot, you can try getting her into second phase, Second phase: stand in the middle and at the VERRY back of the arena, 😅Doing this you notice 2 things, you can only take damage from the sword and those beams of glitches she sends at you (which are easy to dodge, just back dash the sword) and you’ll start to slowly get the death bebuff thing. If you want to do hitless don’t let that get to high but if you don’t care just stay there and you kinda win cause it doesn’t really do anything, When annihilation jumps and puts the smoke clouds DODGE FORWARD! annihilation with verry rarely explode the entire battlefield with the undogeable red lightning things and there will be a place to safely go, just dodge the sword and position yourself properly and close to the back of the arena. Tip 1: destroying all the orbs during that bs second phase part stuns annihilation for a good amount of time. Tip 2 roll into the shockwave attack, you know which one. Tip 3 the orbs you shoot appear In groups of six and are group up in 2s by a small lighting tether. Shooting 1 orb destroys the other. You only need to destroy 3 Tip 4 back dash the sword slam in the middle during second phase hacked place. Tip 5: during second phase when annihilation hits the middle or side of the arena if there is not lighting circle things she will swing immediately, if lightning circle things appear wait a bit until they stop appearing then get ready to dodge. This is my favorite boss fight in any video game. It has no bs moves only timings and secrets people looking for a challenge can find
