How to defeat Defiler in Remnant 2
After you discover the location you will find a being stuck in the Defiler’s roots.

However, the plan didn’t work out for long and now it is up to you to defeat the Defiler.
Root Nexus Fight
Target the red mutated area stretched across which the game will identify as the Root Nexus. This will begin the boss fight in earnest. Use your ranged weapons to bring the Root Nexus down.
Once you bring its health down to 70 percent you will hear the screeching of the large hellish bats with tendrils. This will be your cue to focus on these creatures and to take them out quickly. Once they’re down, get back to attacking the Root Nexus.
Once you bring down the Root Nexus heath to 50 percent, you will have to deal with the big brute that comes your way. This mutated entity will be carrying a giant sword. Dodge its blows and return the favor in kind. Then focus back on the Root Nexus until its health reaches the last quarter.
Now it will summon some bats and ghouls. The gist is the same again. Take these enemies down and then back to finishing off the Root Nexus. Once the health bar is drained, the boss fight will jump into the second phase where the Defiler will reveal itself in Remnant 2.
The Defiler Fight
The Defiler is a vicious opponent and a highly mobile opponent. As such, you need to keep your distance from him and avoid his attacks at all costs. The boss health meter will reset and now the second phase of this fight will commence. You will have to deploy the same strategy that you used while dealing with the Root Nexus in Remnant 2.
