Remnant 2 The Awakened King DLC Weapons

Location: You will need to go to every World.
Requirements: Find the Dran’s Dream.

This weapon has a shocking requirement before you can begin the process to unlock it.

You will need to re roll the main Campaign then play through to Root Earth in order to acquire Anguish after the, The Awakened King DLC has released. You won’t be able to acquire Anguish if you have completed the Campaign before the DLC has released which for me is an outrageous requirement even if you do keep all of your gear on a re roll.

Start your campaign on Losomn at the Morrow Parish starting point as you need access to The Tormented Asylum which is where you fight the Nightweaver World boss.

Anguish is a very tricky weapon to get as if you die, you will then have to restart a very long process and it doesn’t matter how you die, be it in combat or by falling off the edge of the map for example.

On that basis, I recommend having either the Challenger and or Handler Archetypes equipped as both of these Archetypes can revive you. Also, go in with the strongest armour and your best, max level weapons, mods and mutators.

You also need to ensure you have gone far enough through the campaign to have Root Earth opened up which is done by firstly completing your first World, where you can then go through the Labyrinth. Take out at least 1 World boss on each of the other 2 Worlds where you will then be sent to Root Earth where the campaign reaches its conclusion (you can continue the game after you take down the final boss, Annihilation).

Load up the DLC through Adventure Mode then go through either the Cotton’s Kiln, Sunken Haunt or Derelict Lighthouse biomes, which, given the procedurally generated nature of Remnant 2 could appear on a given run or you may have to re roll several times.

The tricky part is you need to find an area in any of the burning biomes which can then have access to the Manor area where the gates will be open, inside of which will be an NPC who grabs you and tells you to wake up placing you in the Ethereal Manor biome.

This then begins the path you can take to find and hunt down Anguish.

From here, go in your inventory and use Liquid Death which will kill you (trust me, you’re supposed to do this). Which will then transport you to a new blood filled biome: Consecrated Throne.

Collect the Crimson Dreamstone ring from the throne then use the mini checkpoint to warp back to Ward 13, head past the firing range and down the ramp towards the NPC standing at the fire barrel who you need to interact with who will disappear.

From here, go back to the World Stone and re roll Adventure Mode until you have the, The Red Throne as your starting point then go through the first part of the biome taking the first right dealing with the Empress guard as you go.

Follow the pathway round and interact with the Dran who is in the final room 3 times to make him disappear.

Go back to Ward 13 and switch your game mode to Campaign then travel to the Labyrinth, Fractured Ingress checkpoint.

Head up the stairs to the left of the checkpoint then go around the walkway where you will again, find and speak to the Dran 6 times who will then leave in a flash of light.

Next up, you need to go to N’Erud in Tal Ratha’s story so if you haven’t got the Forgotten Prison starting point in campaign, jump over to Adventure Mode, then, from the Forgotten Prison starting point, head all the way through the World to the Forgotten Prison where you will find the Dran against the open, wrecked capsules, speak with him 6 times where you will yet again disappear.

You’re nearly done so stick with the process.

Head back to Campaign if you left it to go to N’Erud then through the Ashen Wasteland to the mini checkpoint past the trainyard to find yet another Dran leaning against the chain link fence. Speak with him to make him yet again, disappear.

If you have the Nightweaver as the World boss in Losomn during the campaign you are in luck. If not, you will need to roll Morrow Parish as the Losomn starting point in Adventure Mode then go all the way through to The Tormented Asylum which is the final biome in this run (check out the Nightweaver boss guide for information on how to get there if you’re unsure).

Go down the stairs then take a left following the path around to the right to find the Dran leaning against the wall. Speak with the Dran to make him disappear yet again except this time you will receive the Dran’s Dream item.

Open your inventory and quick slot Dran’s Dream then use it to be transported to a new biome: Forgotten Null which looks a lot calmer than most other places in the game.

Ignore the Dran and collect the Occult Vessel from the right of the Dran on the rocks which you can then take back to McCabe in Ward 13 along with 7 Lumenite Crystal and 1,000 Scrap where you can finally craft Anguish which I must say, isn’t worth all the effort in terms of neither damage or abilities.

You have done all of that for a shotgun, machine gun and rifle combination which doesn’t excel at being any of the aforementioned weapon types so it’s sadly one for the collectors… If it weren’t for the fact it’s one of the best guns in the game.
