The Huntress is an optional boss in Remnant 2 and can be found riding her giant goat across Losomn. The Huntress boss wields a long spear, swinging it around viscously. Reaching her can be quite confusing, however, the rewards she drops are worth the effort.
Like most bosses in the game, the Huntress also has an alternate kill. We have put together this comprehensive guide to help you in the battle against The Huntress. In this guide, we’ll be going over her location, attack patterns, and more.
Huntress Location in Remnant 2
Similar to several other optional bosses in Remnant 2, her location isn’t set owing to the game’s RNG mechanics. She can spawn in one of three different locations depending on your progression.
Being a Dran, the Huntress can only be found in the streets of Losomn and the Dran-infested areas. She won’t spawn in the Fae Palace section.
You will find her in Losomn sleeping under an Archway while resting against her goat-like creature in either of the three sections of the world;
- Brocwithe Quarter
- Forsaken Quarter
- Ironborough
How to defeat The Huntress in Remnant 2
There are some key aspects about The Huntress you should know to make the fight a lot smoother. The Huntress has a couple of tricks up her sleeve you need to watch out for.
For the most part, the attack pattern is going to consist of melee attacks where she will ride her mount and charge toward you while swiping and slashing her spear. The best way to avoid that is by keeping a distance so that you have ample time to react when she starts charging at you.
These goat-mounted charges include simple swipe, horn attack, and triple swipe as well. There is a special case where she will do a fake triple swipe but will change halfway through the attack and will start charging at you to do the horn attack.
Close-quarter melee fighting with Huntress in Remnant 2 is ill-advised. She uses her spear to deliver sweep attacks. These attacks come in the form of 2, 3, and sometimes 4 hits. The 4th hit is always a slam attack while the third is an uppercut. These attacks can only be avoided by dodging backward multiple times.
Use the walls in the area to get away from her and deal some damage from a distance.
For the magical aspect of things, she will summon three spectral crows which will fly towards you and will deal damage upon contact. Shoot them down before they reach you because they can be lethal. The only respite you get during the fight in Remnant 2 is when Huntress turns into a couple of ravens. These enemies are slow and can be killed to drop precious ammo and consumables.
Lastly, there is the Cyclone Slash. The Huntress will spin around, creating a powerful gust of wind that will come at you, full force. Keep your eyes open and as soon as she starts spinning, jump to either side to dodge.
The best way to make sure that she goes down and never gets back up is by keeping a distance and learning the attack pattern over the course of the battle. Dodge as many attacks as possible and shoot the weak spots: Goat’s Head and The Huntress’ Head in Remnant 2.
Exploit these weaknesses to make sure you come out as victor. Also, if you can, stay within areas where you have room to move around and see her attacks coming from a mile away.
In certain scenarios, the Huntress may run away after you get her down to about a quarter of her health. This isn’t a bug and you simply need to explore the area to locate her and finish the job.
For killing the Huntress, you will receive the following rewards;
- Scrap
- x3 Lumenite Crystal
- Tome of Knowledge
- Venerated Spearhead
How to perform the Huntress Alternate Kill in Remnant 2
Like most bosses in the game, The Huntress has an alt kill where she drops a different stack of unique rewards. For this, you need to have the Dreamcatcher in your possession, which is a melee weapon.
You can get your hands on it by delivering the Nightweaver Stone Doll to a cobweb in the jail cell of Tormented Asylum.
Once you have it, attack the sleeping Huntress with the Dream Catcher and you will receive a consumable, Huntress’s Dream. Use it to unlock and travel to Briella’s Reverie.
If you find that she’s not sleeping, preventing you from performing the alt kill, you will need to damage her once, after which you’ll find her sleeping elsewhere.
There you will find the goat-riding bloodthirsty huntress standing on top of a building. Once you shoot her, she will engage in battle. You will receive the following reward for taking her down in this scenario:
- Scrap
- x3 Lumenite Crystal
- Tome of Knowledge
- Sacred Hunt Feather
