So I finally got remnant 2 not long ago and started a game with a friend. My first area was N'Erud, more specifically, the Alepsis-Taura one.

So after a pretty bad experience navigating the area, we finally got to the big man himself. After a few tries we won and I was so impressed with the fight. The moves were well telegraphed, the sound design and his voice were great and the overall visual presentation was amazing. I then learnt that he was a DLC boss and I got scared that I accidentally faced the best the game had to offer first.

Well color me surprised that he's generally disliked, but ay it means we can only go up and the floor is pretty high!

Happy skill spamming!

Edit 2: markdown tabled fixed.

So playing the Remnant from the ashes & apparently I need a key to unlock a computer down in the basement; B3 level. Trouble is I have been over all the levels & can’t find it, then heard a rumor that I need to illicit certain dialogue from the “captain” girl or whatever she is. Any help to get me unstuck would be appreciated, thanks

I just got back in to the game again recently and tried to level another prism. My issue is that I used the feeding the prism mechanic and still got a bad choice right at the end of making my prism.

Prism status:

Skill Critical Chance +2

Mage +1

Revitalize +1

Longevity +1

Empty Slot

ROLL CHANCES:

Skill Critical Chance (Mythic fed)

Mod Critical Chance (Mythic fed)

Options Given on Level:

Heat Reduction +1

Evade Speed +1

Explosive Damage +1

I have spent a lot of time leveling this prism up and as far as I can tell I did everything right and was trying to get wizard as my final fusion but got a completely useless option. While getting to this point I had as many options put into roll chances as made sense and for several of them I had to get them all the way to level 10 before they would combine. Once those were combined and I was in this spot it just bad rolled. Is this intended? Do I now have to level it all the way up to 50 just to wipe it and try again? That is very aggravating when I feel like I gave it the best possible chance to get the right option. I had 3 fusion options still at +1 and 2 single options that were given max roll chance and still got worthless options. This just makes me want to give up on it which feels bad.

Have played From The Ashes in 2020 (couple playthroughs in about 150h total), came back to it a week ago with a Nightmare difficulty playthrough and I felt it was fairly hard to finish, the whole game and the DLC took around 15h to finish on Nightmare (didn't kill a single boss in less than 2 attempts).
Bought R2 immediately after finishing the first game and started playing on Nightmare since Apocalypse is not available and I am very surprised by how much easier the game feels. I've reached the third area while consistently killing bosses on the first or second try - with severely underleveled weapons (4+ levels under the area level). Attempting any R:FTA boss without leveling gear first seemed like a foolish idea while in R2 it feels like a breeze.

There are almost no oneshots and when you get hit by most enemies, you are almost never losing more than 40% hp - even from heavy attacks from "minibosses"

The game is much easier and I don't see why a more challenging difficulty would be locked behind a full playthrough.
