Zania’s Malice is a ring filled with corrupted power in Remnant 2. It has a protruding horn, and a dull amber glow gives this ring a demonic appearance. The ring is constructed to scrape the wearer’s skin as a painful reminder of its presence.
Zania’s Malice cannot be crafted; it has to be picked up. To obtain this ring have to travel to Ashen Wasteland, located on Root Earth. This guide will discuss the location to find this ring, its unique properties/effects, and the best builds you can use it in.
Remnant 2 Zania’s Malice ring location
Reach the second checkpoint in the Ashen Wasteland, which resides in the Root World. This checkpoint is before the rail yard, where you fight a horde of root creatures.
From this checkpoint, take the divergent path. This path will take you to a room that is on a lower level. In that room, there is a path that leads further down. Don’t take that patch. It’s hard to notice due to the dull lighting, but a hole in the wall across the room exists.
You can reach this hole easily by walking along the border. After entering the hole by crouching and walking, you will notice the purple glow of the ring lying on the ground.
