The Ritualist archetype in Remnant 2 is a powerful status-effect focused class introduced in the Awakened King DLC. With a blend of synergies that spread, amplify, and detonate status effects, the Ritualist is an exceptional choice for players who love controlling the battlefield with poison, fire, and other ailments. In this guide, we’ll walk you through unlocking the Ritualist quickly and efficiently, explain its perks, and share tips for mastering this dark and deadly class.
Step 1: Start the Awakened King Adventure
To begin, head to the World Crystal in Ward 13 and roll an Adventure Mode instance for the new Awakened King DLC. Choose the easiest difficulty to speed up the process; this entire unlock can take as little as 20-30 minutes if done right.
Step 2: Progress Through the Forla Coast
Make your way through the Forla Coast area, dealing with mobs and a boss along the way. This path is linear, so just focus on clearing enemies quickly to progress. Your goal is to reach the Sunken Haun area.
Step 3: Defeat the Sunken Witch Boss
In the Sunken Haun, you’ll encounter the Sunken Witch boss. Dodge precisely, as the arena is small and leaves little room for error. Once defeated, move forward into the Drowned Ren.
Step 4: Reach the Drowned Ren and Obtain the Ragged Puppet
Progress through the Drowned Ren until you reach an area with multiple boats on a river. Clear all enemies here, as falling into the water results in instant death. After clearing the area, follow the boat path and enter the sewer-like tunnel.
At the end of the path, you’ll encounter a witch NPC performing a ritual. Defeat her and loot the Ragged Puppet item pinned to a wooden pillar nearby.
Step 5: Unlock the Ritualist Archetype at Wallace
Return to Ward 13 and speak to Wallace. Trade the Ragged Puppet and 5 Luminite Crystals to unlock the Ritualist archetype.
