The Ultimate Guide to Unlocking the Powerful Invader Archetype in Remnant 2

Players can discover numerous secrets in Gunfire Games' Remnant 2, including special items and additional character classes. Alongside the starting four classes, the gaming community has uncovered extra Archetypes that can complement existing classes or be used as a primary loadout for replaying the story.

One of these secret classes is the Invader Archetype, which offers a variety of skills that benefit players who prefer a mobile and evasive playstyle. Considering the game's mechanics, which heavily emphasize dodging for defense, this Archetype allows players to greatly enhance their damage avoidance. Here is all the information players need to unlock the Invader Archetype.

How To Unlock The Invader Archetype

To unlock the Invader character, players must obtain the Dreamcatcher melee weapon from Morrow Parish in Losomn. Once equipped, players need to progress through a significant portion of the Remnant 2 main storyline until they reach Root Earth, specifically the Corrupted Harbor.

At the Corrupted Harbor, players must navigate through the ship and descend into the basement area. Eventually, they will come across a spacious area with a pod resembling a dead tree stump at its center. Inside this pod lies the Escalation Protocol Amulet, a powerful item that enhances various classes. However, for the Invader Archetype, players should store this amulet and refocus their attention on the pod. By utilizing the Dreamcatcher, players can extract an item known as Walker's Dream from the pod, which serves as a teleportation device to another area.

How to Get the Wooden Shiv Engram

The Walker's Dream is a consumable item that can only be used once. Players need to equip and use it to be transported to a different area where they will face a boss called Bane. While Bane itself is not a major threat, similar to the Root Nexus on Yaesha, its power lies in its ability to summon allies for the fight. Once Bane is defeated, players can obtain the Wooden Shiv, a special item for the Invader Archetype. It's important to note that if players fail to defeat Bane, they can obtain another Walker's Dream by using the Dreamcatcher on the pod again.

With the Wooden Shiv in their possession, players should return to Ward 13 and visit Wallace. They can then convert the special item into the Archetypal Engram, which for the Invader is the Root Blade. After completing the transaction, the Invader will become available as a new primary Archetype or as a boosting secondary Archetype.
