Ultimate Guide to Conquering the Ravager: Unleash Unmatched Skills for Victory!

Yaesha's jungle world is currently plagued by the devastating Root infection, worsened by the presence of the former Pan god of death. In Remnant 2, the Ravager reappears as a mutated version of the six-limbed wolf that players fought in Remnant: From The Ashes.

Despite its grotesque transformation, the Ravager remains one of the most challenging bosses in Remnant 2. To defeat this vile creature and complete the Ravager quest, here are some expert tips and alternative kill methods.

How to Beat the Corrupted Ravager

Dodging the Ravager's Lunge Attacks

The Corrupted Ravager quest in Remnant 2 takes place in the world of Yaesha and serves as one of the main storylines. Players will come across this quest after successfully solving the Water Harp puzzle and raising the bridge to the beast's lair. Upon entering the Ravager's Lair, there will be a dialogue with the beast, after which players must make the decision whether to spare or kill the Red Doe. Opting for the latter will entail a fierce battle against the formidable Corrupted Ravager. It is essential to remain alert during the fight, as there are crucial moments that can greatly influence the outcome, determining victory or defeat.

While they may appear predictable, even a single mistake can have devastating consequences for players facing the Corrupted Ravager. With swift strides, it charges towards their character, ready to unleash a ruthless assault using its sharp claws. This formidable attack has the potential to deplete a significant portion of the player's health, underlining the importance of precise timing when executing evasive maneuvers to dodge the impending strike.

Moreover, when engaged in close-quarters combat with the Ravager, players should be aware that it will launch two consecutive swipes. Failing to anticipate the initial attack can be particularly disheartening. Taking the effort to comprehend the beast's cues and identifying the opportune moment to utilize evasive techniques is crucial in order to minimize damage inflicted upon oneself.

The Ravager's Vulnerable Spots

The Ravager's appearance in Remnant: From The Ashes has undergone a significant transformation due to the influence of the Root. A prominent change is the emergence of a red pulsating growth on the creature's back, which happens to be its weakest spot, making it the prime target for all offensive maneuvers.

The Role of the Stone Pillars

Right from the beginning of the battle, it is crucial for players to direct all their offensive abilities towards the growth located on the Ravager's back. The reason being, with each strike, there is a significant likelihood of inflicting critical damage to this creature. To eliminate the boss effectively, players should ensure that both their long-range and handguns are equipped with high-capacity, rapid-fire weapons. This will prevent any shortage of ammunition, which can greatly impede victory, especially when relying solely on melee attacks.

The battle arena where the Ravager fight takes place is filled with large stone pillars. These pillars can prove useful to players if strategically utilized. By avoiding standing behind certain pillars, players can prevent the Ravager from knocking them down while it charges towards them.

The stone pillars offer significant defense against two powerful offensive moves of the Ravager - its energy pulse and vortex ability. They act as a barrier against these attacks. However, if the energy pulse hits a pillar, it will destroy it, interrupting the skill's momentum towards the player.

The Ravager's Vortex Ability

The vortex ability is the most devastating attack in the Ravager's arsenal. It creates a cyclone that pulls the player towards the creature and its razor-sharp claws. If caught in this attack, players are likely to perish, unless they possess an Archetype that can self-revive, which can be frustrating. Additionally, repeatedly using dodging techniques to evade the Ravager will rapidly deplete stamina, making this strategy viable only for a limited duration.

The optimal approach for avoiding the deadly cyclone involves maintaining a substantial distance, which serves the dual purpose of anticipating lunging assaults and targeting the vulnerable areas of the cyclone from a safe distance. This approach proves advantageous for two reasons: firstly, players who maintain a sufficient distance will encounter less difficulty in evading the cyclone's area of effect, and secondly, it provides ample time for the players' characters to retreat behind fortifying stone pillars. These pillars serve as the most secure sanctuaries during such attacks, effectively obstructing the connection between the Ravager and its adversary.

Alternative Kills in the Ravager Boss Fight

The Ravager storyline has two main outcomes, depending on whether the player chooses to kill the Ravager or the Doe. However, for those seeking a deeper exploration of the quest, there are two alternative kills that yield different rewards. Players with merciless intent can purposefully withhold revival for the Doe and initiate the battle by attacking the Ravager, resulting in two alternative outcomes.

Killing the Doe Mid-Fight

Remaining on the sidelines of the battlefield, the Doe watches as the player engages in a fierce battle with the Ravager. However, if enough damage is inflicted upon the deity, it will opt to utilize its fallen adversary to its advantage, restoring its health in the process. In such a circumstance, players will be presented with the choice of eliminating the Doe before the Ravager can exploit its energy, effectively preventing it from healing.

Letting the Ravager Eat the Doe

Players who opt to eliminate both the Doe and Ravager will receive a valuable reward known as the Ravager's Maw. This item can then be brought to McCabe, who possesses the skill to transform it into the formidable Feral Judgment weapon. As a melee weapon, it takes the shape of sharp claws that can be further strengthened by continuously inflicting close combat strikes, resulting in heightened potency.

Rewritten

On the flip side of this same situation, players who allow the Ravager to recover its strength by sacrificing the Doe will receive different rewards. This presents a more challenging task, as players will essentially face the beast one and a half times. However, the weapon obtained from this accomplishment is incredibly powerful.

Players who give the Ravager an advantage in the battle but still emerge victorious will be rewarded with the Crimson Membrane. This item can be brought to McCabe in Ward 13, in exchange for the formidable Merciless long gun. This weapon unleashes a penetrating blast that inflicts significant damage, with an additional 25% chance of dealing critical damage to enemies.

Remnant 2 is now available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
