How to get the Game Master’s Pride ring?
This ring can only be obtained during co-op while solving the Postulant’s Parlor Puzzle in Remnant 2. You need to have a friend who will get the ring for you. Two doors are blocking the way to the ring. The first door is opened by putting your piece on the bottom left corner of the game board.
After the first door is opened, your co-op player will move towards the second door. You’ll want to move your middle piece to the bottom right for the second move.
After your move, the opponent will move his middle-left piece to the top-left. This is your move to place your bottom-right piece in the middle position.
