Despite having only four starting character class options (or five, for those who pre-ordered)Remnant 2found ways to keep players on their toes by including a number of secret Archetypes that require some exploring through the game’s many worlds. Of those secret classes, the Archon established itself as the most difficult characters to find, but arguably the most powerful in the game
Players eager to get their hands on this powerful Archetype as a new main character ora potent secondary to boost an existing loadoutdo not need to look any further. Here’s howRemnant 2gamers can earn this secret special character variant.
Requirements For The Archon Archetype
The Archon Archetype was not designed to be stumbled upon organically. It requires a very specific character loadout, down to particular relics, rings, and Archetype skills. Additionally, acquiring this Archetype cannot be done until playersunlock two other secret Archetypes,the Explorerand the Invader.

Players will need to becomecorrupted, which is a requirement to enter the Labyrinth’s Corrupted Biome Portal to the Backrooms. Players will first need to replicate Ford’s loadout, from armor set to amulet and everything in between. This is the required loadout to get access to the portal:

How To Get The Archon Archetype
Once players have equipped their character with all the necessary gear, they will need to go to the Corrupted Biome Portal by going through the shifting portal in the Labyrinth, inthe same location where the materials for the Enigma handguncan be found. Players will be able to access this once their character is corrupted, which will be evident by the red corruption field surrounding them. Using a Biome Portal Key, players can access the yellow Backrooms, where the material to create the Archon Engram is hidden.
Once players have entered the bright yellow maze of hallways, they will have 90 seconds to locate the item before being kicked out of the room. If the item isn’t found in time, there is an infinite number of opportunities to return to the room, so there is no need to panic. For a direct route to the Strange Box that is required, players should travel through the room in this sequence:right, right, second left, right, left, left, right, left, right.They will reach a dead end and find the material there.
It is worth noting that the room also contains two very powerful items:the Gunfire Security Lanyard, which enables an automatic magazine to reload over time; andthe Bisected Ring, which grants the player infinite stamina. The best way to find these items is to use the Explorer’s Fortune Hunter Archetype Skill, which will identify valuable items through walls and indicate their location on the mini-map.
Once the Strange Box has been found,visit Wallace and trade it along with 1,000 Scrap and 10 Lumenite Crystals. Once the transaction is completed, players will receive theHexahedronand unlock the Archon Archetype.
