Remnant 2 boasts numerous zones filled with tough enemies and bosses, including the final boss. Fear not, as we present valuable tips to conquer the Nightweaver, drawn from our Remnant 2 review.
How to Defeat the Nightweaver Boss in Remnant 2
To triumph over the Nightweaver in Remnant 2, follow these essential steps:
Step 1: Collect the Three Stone-Carved Dolls
These quest items are essential for reaching the Nightweaver’s realm and starting the encounter.
Step 2: Acquire the Nightweaver Stone Doll and Dreamcatcher
Throughout your journey, you can find a unique weapon that will aid you during the battle.
Step 3: Memorize Her Abilities for Phase 1
Familiarize yourself with the boss’s abilities during the first phase, ensuring you make efficient use of your Relic charges and consumables.
Step 4: Watch Out for Her Grab Attacks During Phase 2
Stay alert during the second phase, as the cramped corridors and interiors can be hazardous.
Step 5: Attempt the Alternate Kill Method by Destroying Her Heart
By destroying her heart while she’s summoning Beetle Bombers in the first phase, you can obtain a different reward and alter the fight.
The Nightweaver’s Role in Losomn Region
The Nightweaver boss plays a significant part in two main quests in the Losomn region: “Strange Web” and “The Nightweaver.” If you arrive in Morrow Parish and hear someone mention the Nightweaver as you approach the Asylum’s gates, you are on the right path.
Collecting the Stone-Carved Dolls
Upon reaching the Morrow Sanitorium Asylum, you must gather three Stone-carved Dolls from specific locations:
- Behind a shelf in the second-floor study.
- Along the side of the front yard next to some rubble.
- Behind some white curtains in the large room on the third floor.
Obtaining the Nightweaver Stone Doll and Dreamcatcher
After collecting the dolls, head to the basement and offer them to the woman you encounter. This will unlock the Asylum safe. Additionally, you’ll acquire the Nightweaver Stone Doll. Journey to the Shattered Gallery dungeon to battle Magister Dullain, who drops the Soulkey Tribute quest item. Return to the basement and place the Soulkey Tribute in the web-filled growth, completing the “Strange Web” main quest and transporting you to a shadow realm. Use the Nightweaver Stone Doll in the nearby cell to acquire the Dreamcatcher, a powerful melee weapon.
Nightweaver Phase 1: Strategies and Abilities
In the shadow realm, proceed past the woman’s cell and head upstairs to face the Nightweaver. During the first phase, the boss utilizes the following abilities:
- Ice Crystals: Creates multiple ice crystals that home in on your location.
- Shadow Rain: Releases globules that fly outward in an arc.
- Claw Swipe and Dive Bomb: Executes quick successive moves, including clawing at the ground and crashing down.
- Beetle Bomber Summon: Summons Beetle Bombers that explode on contact.
Successfully managing the first phase involves understanding her attack patterns, using consumables wisely, and taking advantage of her summoning animations.
Nightweaver Phase 2: A Deadlier Challenge
After depleting the Nightweaver’s HP in the first phase, quickly grab ammo packs on the ground, as you’ll be teleported to the Asylum’s interior. The second phase intensifies the challenge due to the narrow corridors in Morrow Sanatorium. Here’s what to watch out for:
- Melee Swipes: The Nightweaver uses slow forward lunges, two slow swipes, and a single turning swipe, followed by homing Ice Crystals.
- Wall-Eeeek!: The boss periodically disappears from view, and when this happens, avoid going near the walls, as she’ll grab and slice your character repeatedly.
- Beetle Bomber Summon: If the Nightweaver disappears, she may reappear on the ceiling, summoning Beetle Bombers.
During this phase, careful observation of her attack patterns and avoiding the Lifesteal Rend attack are crucial to success.
The Rewards of Victory
Defeating the Nightweaver grants you the Cursed Dream Silks, a valuable material for crafting the Nightfall. This powerful long gun features infinite ammo, 10% lifesteal, 35% fire rate, and full-automatic fire, making it one of the best weapons in the game.
The Alternate Kill Method
For a unique challenge, consider the alternate kill method. Destroy the Nightweaver’s heart while she’s summoning Beetle Bombers during the first phase. Be cautious, as this prevents you from killing any Beetle Bombers. However, success rewards you with the Nightweaver’s Finger, which can be used to craft the Nightshade, a melee weapon boasting impressive features.
With the Nightweaver defeated, your journey in Remnant 2 continues. Face even more bosses, acquire the best weapons, amulets, and rings, and enjoy the adventure that lies ahead. For additional guidance, check out our comprehensive Remnant 2 walkthrough article.
