Remnant 2: How to Unlock Invader Archetype

• Step #1: Go to Losomn and have a starting point in Morrow Parish.

If you don’t have it as a main quest, go to World Settings and create a new Adventure Mode in Losomn. Keep rerolling until you get it. Progress the questline until get to the Morrow Sanatorium.

• Step #2: Collect the 3 Stone-Carved Dolls.

The first Stone-Carved Doll is located in a room on the right side of the foyer entrance. It can be found behind the bookcase under the coffee table.

The second one is located at the far end of the front garden. On the ground, opposite the shed.

The third doll is locked somewhere on the third floor of the Sanatorium. We need the Third Floor Key to get it. Initiate the fight with the Ripsaw miniboss inside the shed. Finish the battle to secure the Asylum Third Floor Key safely.

The third Stone-carved Doll is located behind the dresser at the back of the third-floor ward. If you enter the area for the first time, you’ll be facing some winged enemies.

• Step 3: Secure the Prison Cell Key.

Head to the middle room on the third floor. The one with the two windows. Go through one of the frames and you’ll get to the balcony. You’ll find the Prison Cell Key on the floor.

• Step 4: Unlock the cell door.

After you’ve collected all the Stone-carved Dolls and presented them to Dr. Morrow, a new option will appear. This will allow you to open the door to the cell. In a strange twist, the good doctor is nowhere to be seen inside. Instead, a Nightweaver Stone Doll will be there in her place. Pick it up for the next step.

• Step 5: Gain access to the Tormented Asylum.

Follow the questline until you have the Soulkey Tribute in your possession. Use it on the glowing cacoon in the basement of the Sanatorium. This will teleport you to the Tormented Asylum.

• Step 6: Offer the Nightweaver Stone Doll to the cobweb inside the cell.

Once inside the Tormented Asylum, go to the first cell on the left and offer the Doll to the cobweb. You have now unlocked the Dreamcatcher Melee Weapon.

Now, that’s first part of the quest done. The next steps will require you to progress the main story until you gain access to Root Earth.

• Step 7: Go to the hidden area within the Corrupted Harbor.

This next part requires you to go deep into Root Earth. You’ll be facing a couple of bosses on the way to the harbor. But that’s to be expected of the last world in the base game.

From the checkpoint at the entrance of the ship, go down to the engine room and look for the side door on the right side of the room. This will get you to the hidden valley.

The valley contains a sleeping Root monster, a few mobs, and a lesser Cancer enemy. Clear the mobs so you won’t be disturbed when you do this next step.

• Step 8: Attack the Root monster with the Dreamcatcher.

Press the Attack button with the Dreamcatcher equipped and an animation will show you getting something from the dreamer. Pick up the Walker’s Dream item. Equip it and use the item to enter the Twilight Valley.

• Step 9: Defeat “Bane”

Your Wanderer will be transported to the Twilight Valley. It is a pocket dimension that mirrors the hidden valley in the Corrupted Harbor.

Hint: You don’t need to go to the middle of the area to start the encounter. In fact, you should avoid doing as to not draw the attention of the powerful Root hiding at the far end of the valley.

Bane is more or less similar to the tripod walkers in the waking world. It does have Displacer so you may want to stay away if you don’t want to get stun locked when it puts its foot down. The mobs will be an issue too. Deal with them first before going for the boss. Stay close to the entrance as possible until the boss is defeated.

• Step 10: Bring the Wooden Shive to Wallace in Ward 13.

Talk to Wallace and he will craft you the Serrated Root Blade engram. This will unlock the Invader Archetype.

Invader Archetype Details

The Invader is known for its assassin-like play style. Using your active Skills will leave behind a Decoy that draws the agro of nearby enemies. At later levels, you will be able to deal more damage to enemies that aren’t paying attention to you. Though you won’t be getting crits and weakspot bonuses like the Hunter, the Invader is a master of evasion and controlling the flow of battle. They can pick and choose when to strike enemies and that pair well with backstab builds.
