Remnant 2 Annihilation Strategy Writeup
The Best Tips forAnnihilation:
- Boss hasa weak spot that is easy to hit, therefore prioritize attacking it
- Enigmais a great choice todestroy homing balls during both phases.
First Phase
At the beginning, it flies around the battlefield, uses its massive sword-like weapon to deal damage. Annihilation also affects the battlefield, using many AOE attacks and creating energy beams that persist on the field, dealing damage if players come into contact with them
Annihilation has a lot ofattacks and flies constantly around the battlefield. Beware of its Impalement attack because it may entangle you, leavingplayers unable to move for a few seconds, until you manage to free yourself.
Note that energy beams will constantly drop onto the ground, forcing players to be aware of their surroundings and moving around as much as possible.
After you manage to deplete its health bar, Annihilation will enter its second phase, by "opening" his head and revealing what controls it.
Second Phase
During the second phase, Annihilation will recover all its health and even the battlefield will change into a futuristic landscape, with red neon colors.
Annihilation will stay on the same place during parts of the fight, moving little from its position at the far end of the screen, just to perform attacks. After taking enough damage, the battlefield will switch between the one on the first phase and the latter one, granting Annihilationan even wider moveset.
On the futuristic scenario, if you walk towards Annihilation you will fall to your death.
Six tendrilswill appear on the ground, three on one side and three on the other one. They will be in vertical position, but may branch in a horizontal position to limit your movement. Always be mindful of this to avoid ending trapped.
When you manage to deplete Annihilation's health bar for a second time, a cutscene will trigger in which Clementineand The Keeper evaluate the situation.
Third Phase
After the cutscene, you will notice that Annihilation hasn't got a health bar, and will summon minions to attack you. It will remain in the middle of the battlefield, and the phase will end after either a set time or you/a party member take fatal damage. Using a Liquid Escape immediately ends this phase, reaching the end of the campaign.
