Remnant 2: The Forgotten Kingdom | How to unlock the Invoker Archetype

In Remnant 2: The Forgotten Kingdom, the second of three planned DLCs for Remnant 2, we return to the world of Yaesha, where a vengeful demigod called Lydusa has been split in two. The benevolent half is trapped, while the malevolent half has unleashed an army of stone monsters on the forest. Aided by a gentle but determined Pan named Walt, the Traveller must stop Lydusa’s reign of terror and uncover the truth about Walt’s lost tribe. Not only does the DLC introduce new areas, enemies, armour and items, it also features a new Archetype. Read on to learn how to unlock the Invoker Archetype in Remnant 2: The Forgotten Kingdom.

Remnant 2: The Forgotten Kingdom | How to find the Invoker Archetype

First of all, this one isn’t easy, and requires a certain amount of luck and pixel-hunting to find. To begin with you’ll need to play through the Glittering Grotto portion of the new campaign, through the rectangular story path door and through to the other side. There’s a huge statue in the centre of the area with circular staircase in the middle. When you reach a point that you can pull a lever and lower the statue, before taking a nearby lift down, you’ll be able to find the Archetype – only it’s not so simple.

Now you need to head down the spiral staircase and through the lower door, before descending several ladders and following the wall until you find a short corridor. As you enter it you’ll trigger unavoidable trap switches on the floor, and find yourself facing a square room filled with quicksand, across which arrow traps launch deadly projectiles. Opposite you, on the far side, is a corpse on which you can find the Invoker “Disciple” amrour set, but that’s not the target here.

When you step in the room you must shimmy between the traps, but standing still for too long will cause you to sink into the sand and die. However, if you look around you’ll see two points in opposite corners where the sand is coming in. Head to the far side on the right and you’ll see two columns of sand falling in, with a few rocks laid out almost like jaws. You’ll also notice that if you stand there, you’re safe and the arrows won’t hit you and the sand won’t drag you down as quickly. You will sink, but slower. Now you have to stand here, still, for several minutes (we counted almost 5), as you slowly sink into the sand. After enough time, an event will trigger and you’ll be sucked under.

When you wake, you’ll be below the trap room, opposite an altar. On the altar is the Old Flute, which you can take. Now head to to Wallace in Ward 13 to transform it into the Spirit Flute engram, which unlocks the Invoker Archetype.
