Remnant 2 features several missable items that many players often make the mistake of not picking up. The Tormented Heart is one of them. The bonuses provided by the Tormented Heart are so good that it’s almost a shame to miss this one when you get the chance to acquire it.
This is where we come in as in this guide. We’ll review the rather complicated process of acquiring the Tormented Heart in Remnant 2. Additionally, we’ll also cover its effects and how it compares to the Tranquil Heart.
Remnant 2 The Tormented Heart location
To get your hands on the Tormented Heart in Remnant 2, you must be lucky enough to roll the Sanatorium as you enter Losomn. This is because the crafting item – required for the Tormented Heart can only be found at this location.
However, if you manage to roll the Palace Courtyard Instead– or roll the Forgotten Prison in N’Erud – you won’t be able to get the associated quest and hence be incapable of acquiring the Tormented Heart.
That said, if you are lucky enough to roll the Sanatorium with the Seeker’s Quest, that’s good – but if not, then you have to reroll the campaign until you start from the Seeker’s Rest.
Roll the Campaign until you start from the Seeker’s Rest in N’Erud
From Seeker’s Rest, you must follow through with all the missions until you reach the Timeless Horizon. Now you have to find the Override Pin in this location.
First, take a right from your position and then use the lift to go up. Then, move forward and take another right by the stairs to come across another lift. Take it and find another one that will take you to the Override Pin location.
Note that you reach the Sentinel’s Keep a little bit further through the game, at which point you can use the Override Pin to summon a boss – the Spectral Guardian.
Since you need the Override Pin to obtain the Tormented Heart, it is necessary not to use it on the machine that summons the boss. You can interact with the glowing mechanism as an alternative way to start the fight.
Roll the Losomn Marrow Parish run
Obtaining the Override Pin completes the first step to getting the Tormented Heart in Remnant 2. The next step, however, needs pure luck and can undo everything you’ve worked for.
After progressing further through the campaign, you can reach the Losomn area. Now, you must make sure that you start the Losomn area with the Marrow Parish run – or specifically, with the Sanatorium.
Otherwise, you won’t be able to obtain the Tormented Heart and will have to reroll your campaign and start all over again.
If you manage to land the Marrow Parish run, your first objective is to head over to the Tormented Asylum.
Inside this location, there is a small cell with blue webs. If you interact with this web and place the Override Pin here, you will get the Tormented Heart in exchange. Tormented Heart can help you get the Tranquil Heart in Remnant 2. All you have to do for this is give the Tormented Heart to Nimue.
How to use the Tormented Heart
The Tormented Heart is a unique Relic that gives users an innate boost to Use Speed. Moreover, it also deals a huge amount of Explosive damage to nearby enemies upon use while also dealing some of a quarter of it as Lifesteal.
Since this Relic gives such a useful set of bonuses, it can be used comfortably with most builds in the game. Some of these builds include the Medic/Handler and DPS Build.
Tormented Heart vs Tranquil Heart
The Tranquil Heart passively heals you for 2.3 of your health every second, giving you much-needed leeway during and outside combat. When this Heart is used, all health regeneration increases for 15 seconds. Like the Tormented Heart, the Tranquil Heart works best with Medic builds.
