The Dark Conduit is another dungeon in Remnant 2 that you will come across while exploring the world of N’erud. It contains storage areas and crafts used to resupply the planet before hostiles took it over. There are several events and activities to complete here, including two mini-bosses.
Do note that the Dark Conduit has a lot of procedurally generated events. I will list all of them, but you will only encounter some during your playthrough.
Remnant 2 Dark Conduit location
The Dark Conduit dungeon is in an unmarked and unnamed lair that can only be found by exploring the World of N’erud.
What you need to be looking out for is an elevator entrance on the Barren Lands. It will take you down into a lair with a robot inside a spaceship and a console in front of it.
Remember to interact with the console at the end of your exploration. Roam around the lair until you find a passage that takes you into the dungeon
Due to the randomness of the maps in Remnant 2, it is tough to pinpoint the location. Here are a few tips for you to use to access the Dark Conduit dungeon.
- You must look out in the areas of N’Erud where you’ve found the supply pods. It could be in several areas, such as the Abyssal Rift, Eon Vault, and Timeless Horizon.
- The elevator is more likely to be visible if you start at Seeker’s Rest checkpoint.
- If all fails, defeat the final boss, Sha’Hala, and reroll the game in Adventure mode.
How to complete the Dark Conduit in Remnant 2
Compared to any other dungeon, the Dark Conduit is easier to complete as it requires you to follow the red-highlighted map areas. You just need to find a way to switch on the terminal’s power at the lair’s start by completing the Loose Fuse event.
As you progress your way to find the Loose Fuse event, you’ll encounter some side quests and boss fights that will let you secure bonus loot items such as secret weapons, rings, and relics.
Remember that the map’s whole state will vary for every player; some will find all the events in this guide, and some might experience them in other areas such as the Hatchery, The Putrid Domain, or The Vault of the Formless. Sometimes, you may spot a Purple Orb in the Remnant 2 Dark Conduit dungeon.
There are some interactable orbs, but these are different from them. This orb is an immortal enemy that you can’t damage. You can’t even block it, so the only way to advance without taking damage is to run away and focus on completing the dungeon.
Find the Loose Fuse to get Crystal Heart Crystal
The Loose Fuse is in the middle of the Dark Conduit dungeon in Remnant 2. You will find a large column next to a locked red door. The column will have two fuses, one of which needs to be fully inserted.
Interact with it to fix the loose fuse, unlocking the red door. Head through to get your hands on the Crystal Heart relic.
How to open Dark Conduit Locked Door
As you progress into the Dark Conduit, you will encounter a locked door associated with a puzzle. To Solve Dark Conduit Locked Door Puzzle, follow the steps given below:
- Travel to a room with the crates on the left side and reveal the hidden vent by destroying the crates.
- Head inside the vent and take the “Overhead Exit” after taking the first right.
- You will then find yourself in the hallway, where you must pick up the Rerouting Cable.
- From there, you need to make your way to the other side of the hallway, where there is a small hole in the ground. Examine the hole, and you will find the Electric Barrel inside.
- Shoot the barrel with any Melee weapon to open the locked door.
Inside the locked door, you will find “Blackout Ring,” which will increase your weapon damage by 20% and your reload speed.
Complete the Stasis Pod Chamber
The Stasis Pod Chamber can spawn in both the Dark Conduit and the Vault of the Formless in Remnant 2. This is a straightforward event to complete.
Make your way to the end of the large room with the Stasis Pod towers until a broken platform blocks your path. Then, wait for the giant robot arm to move into position. When the arm starts moving the platform, jump on it and then jump to your right again on another platform.
If you are still alive, you will find the Atom Splitter, one of the best melee weapons in Remnant 2. If you miss the jump, you will spawn at the nearest checkpoint so that you can try again.
Defeat WD 109 in the Robot Hanger
You have stumbled into the Robot Hanger if you see a large storage area with robots and robot parts. There will also be two locked robot doors here, one of which has the Excess Coil ring.
If you go ahead and defeat the WD 109 mini-boss, you will not be able to get the ring. You will only get the Transpose mutator.
You need to lure WD 109 towards the door and ensure it attacks the door to open it. Stand before the door and evade at the last minute so the boss’s attack lands on the locked door. That is how you can open the door for the Excess Coil ring.
Defeat the Progeny
Another boss many players will encounter in the Dark Conduit Dungeon is an insect-like creature, Progeny.
Hidden inside a chamber with a heavily secured door requires the player to find the Aerary Glyph item that unlocks the door and begins the battle.
A few robots accompany the boss itself. Defeating it will reward you with scraps, ammunition, and the Disengage mutator.
Survive the Flooded Room
Your parkour skills will be tested in the Flooded Room event in Remnant 2. As the name suggests, you must climb out of a flooding room or drown in the rising waters.
You need to start the Flooded Room event by interacting with the control panel before you. Be ready because you will only have a limited time to get all the items inside the room.
There are three items scattered around the flooding room. It is possible to get all three in a single run:
- Subterfuge Link ring
- Generating Band ring
- Insulation Driver amulet
However, there is one bug related to the flooded room that you need to know about. The water level will first seem to be rising slowly, but suddenly, you will end up dying. Many players report this bug, and to avoid it, act quickly and exit the flooded room without looking at the water level.
Activate the Supply Ship
After fixing the fuse and exploring the Dark Conuit dungeon in Remnant 2, head back to the start of the lair, where the supply ship is present. You’ll see a terminal glowing in front of the supply ship that has been activated by inserting the fuse back into its place.
Interact with it after you’ve found all of the 5 supply pods located in Abyssal Rift, Eon Vault, and Timeless Horizon. The ship will be launched into the air, collecting all 5 pods the player interacted with and returning with the following secret weapon and loot.
- Star Shot handgun
- Galvanised Resupply Band
- Resupply Engine
