Summary

  • The Losomn area in Remnant 2 offers players a choice between fighting Faelin or Faerin as the final boss.
  • Both bosses offer different rewards, with those from Faelin best suited for ranged builds, while the spoils from defeating Faerin are more advantageous for melee users.
  • Both choices have essentially equal value and won't affect the main storyline.

The Remnant 2 bosses Faelin and Faerin present players with an interesting choice, but it can be difficult to know which one is the most advantageous to pick. Like its predecessor, Remnant 2 uses procedural generation to make every experience unique, but there are still story and gameplay elements that remain consistent. One key area is Losomn, which might be unlocked at different points in different playthroughs, but always represents a merging of two different worlds that creates a chaotic and imbalanced result. Players can triumph in Losomn by fighting either of two final bosses for the area, each of which grants different boons.

After finding mask pieces necessary to proceed, Remnant 2 players can enter either the Beatific or Malefic Gallery in Losomn. Faelin awaits in the Beatific Gallery, while a fight with Faerin looms in the Malefic Gallery. Luckily, players can back out of engaging with either foe if they change their mind about which to face, making it possible to make an informed decision about how to proceed. The challenge presented by each boss and the effects of the fight on the storyline are identical, but the rewards earned by beating Faelin or Faerin can be utilized to optimize different builds.

Fighting Faelin In Remnant 2 Leads To Ranged Rewards

Players who defeat Faelin in Remnant 2 will receive the Imposter's Heart and Faerin's Sigil, both of which can be put toward upgrading ranged capabilities. The Imposter's Heart is a key crafting material for the Deceit, a split-barreled rifle that delivers heavy-hitting charged shots. Although regular attacks can't score Weak Spot hits, a powerful Mod can make all attacks briefly register as Weak Spot. Faerin's Sigil is a ring that can provide advantages with any equipped range weapon, generating 10% additional Mod Power with Critical and Weak Spot hits. While the Imposter's Heart is dropped immediately upon beating Faelin, Faerin's Sigil is received when players return to Faerin to report their success.

Fighting Faerin In Remnant 2 Enhances Melee Capabilities

Although the gunplay of Remnant 2 is a major draw that sets it apart from other great Soulslike games, it's also possible to optimize strong melee builds. Players interested in this avenue should fight Faerin instead of Faelin in order to receive the Melded Hilt and Faelin's Sigil. The Melded Hilt is necessary to craft the Godsplitter, a blade with a mod that can register Weak Spot hits with enhanced damage from Charge Attacks. Faelin's Sigil, awarded by Faelin following the defeat of Faerin, generates 10% additional mod power with melee damage.

The rewards offered for defeating either Faelin or Faerin are of essentially equal value, with the main deciding factor coming from the build that players are emphasizing. Two excellent weapons and solidly beneficial rings enhance the potential for ranged and melee damage respectively, enhancing players' ability to deal Weak Spot damage and generate Mod Power with the chosen method of combat. Players worried about effects on the main storyline can take comfort in knowing that neither path will affect the overall narrative, making the decision between Faelin and Faerin in Remnant 2 a choice with no wrong options.
