The firstRemnant 2DLC is here withThe Awakened King, adding a new area and Archetype to the popular Soulslike Action RPG. Seeing as this is the first DLC, it can be a little confusing figuring out how exactly to access the DLC content. This is how to start theRemnant 2: The Awakened KingDLC right away!
Accessing theRemnant 2: The Awakened King DLC‘One Shot’
With a bit of insight, developer Gunfire Games assumed players who picked upThe Awakened King DLCwould want to jump right into the new content. The first time any player jumps intoRemnant 2withThe Awakened KingDLC active, they are hard-coded to get an ideal roll of the new area for the first time. Even though the new Dran Coastal Town area ofThe Awakened Kingis the focus of the DLC, future rolls of the Losomn world can generate maps that utilize areas and dungeons from both the base game and the DLC.
If you look at the map at the top of this post, you will see that the map has all the new zones in it. That is being this is the map from my first time playing the DLC, which rolled the One Shot world. Nothing is required on the part of the player to roll the One Shot world. In fact, all you have to do is go to the Ward 13 Crystal and choose Losomn. The game will automatically create the optimal map.
In my opinion, this makes it extremely easy to complete most of the content from the DLC. That is, to kill the new bosses,unlock the Ritualist Archetype, and gather all the new gear for it. All the locations should be static and readily available for you the first time. However, in the future when you reroll Losomn in Adventure Mode, you may not get all the areas.
You now know how to start theRemnant 2: The Awakened King DLCso revisit Losomn and cleanse the chaotic madness of the Forlorn Coast!
