Remnant 2 Abomination Boss Guide

How do you take down a giant rolling ball who can take you out in a couple of attacks in Remnant 2?

Abomination is one of the early bosses you will face in Remnant 2. You will occasionally see a glimpse of the boss throughout different locations, but as you reach N’Erud, you will encounter this Aberration in your first face-off. Remnant 2 Abomination boss is located in N’erud at the Putrid Domain. As you enter the area, you need to go through several enemies such as the Possessed, Robot Grunts, and especially N’erud Zombies.

Once you have cleared the area, you can head to the main hallway and go to the fogged wall ahead. Go through the wall to face the Abomination boss. It’s important to note that this boss is different from the abomination quest (in Yaesha) that asks you to choose between the empress or the abomination.

FYI

At the time of writing, I couldn’t find an alternate Kill method for Abomination in Remnant 2, but that could change in the future. For the time being, we have the normal kill method and the rewards you will get for it.

How to defeat Abomination in Remnant 2

As soon as the boss fight starts, the first thing you will notice is its health bar and how little damage it is taking with your bullets. You should not worry as we will help you take this boss quickly.

The entire arena works in favor of Abomination as it consists of several sewerages attached to walls, which the boss can use to quickly escape your attacks.

As the fight starts, Abomination will use two types of attacks: Possession attack and Slam. Using Possession, Abomination will teleport in the air as it starts using telekinetic energy to throw a projectile in your direction.

You can take cover behind the large pillar at the center of the area to prevent from dealing any damage from this attack. The second attack on the list is Slam.

Using this attack, Abomination leaps in the air to perform a high jump before crashing down upon you and damaging you in the process. To avoid dealing with any damage from this attack, make sure that you run in a different direction.

This is because it takes a few seconds before the boss can land on top of you to cause any damage. As you drain half of the boss’s health, it summons a few minions to attack you.

However, using a ranged weapon such as a rifle can help you kill all of them with a few headshots. I recommend that you deal with the minions fast, as if left unchecked, they can be a real pain. Moreover, killing them will also get you ammo, so that’s another reason for getting rid of them soon. Throughout the fight, your main strategies should be avoiding the boss’s attacks and using a rifle to break the armor on its body.

The main weakness of the Abomination boss is its core in Remnant 2. However, to expose the core (weak spot), you will need first to break its armor to expose its central core. Targeting the exposed core will do the most damage to the Abomination. The boss is also vulnerable to fire damage, so using fire bullets is quite effective against it. You could use mods like Firestorm to your advantage, but if you don’t have any, you can still manage to defeat this boss.

TIP

In the Abomination boss arena in Remnant 2, some explosives are on the ground. Try to hit these explosives when the boss is near them to deal extra damage, which will also help you expose its weak points. Remember that Abomination can also cause explosions from these explosives, so don’t get near them once the boss is closer to you.

During the boss fight, Abomination might heal itself, which can get annoying. The boss has the Empathy trait that makes enemies heal themselves if you use your healing relic. So if you keep your health in check and avoid using health relic, there a good chance that it won’t use its healing ability.
