Mastering the Fight: Defeating the Sunken Witch Boss in Remnant 2’s Awakened King DLC

Navigate the Sunken Haunt and emerge victorious—strategies and tips to conquer the formidable Sunken Witch in Remnant 2’s latest DLC, The Awakened King.

In the depths of Remnant 2’s new DLC, The Awakened King, lies the daunting Sunken Witch—a boss encounter tucked within the enigmatic Sunken Haunt. While not the toughest adversary in Remnant 2, the Sunken Witch’s ferocity and unique attacks present a challenge, demanding players to navigate its deadly assaults amidst a tight, constrained space.

Sunken Witch Location in Remnant 2:

Located in the Sunken Haunt, players progress through the Forlorn Coast, passing the Dire Fiend mini-boss. Beyond this lies the Sunken Haunt, leading to an underground tunnel entrance near a checkpoint. Recognizable by a square section at the map’s bottom, this area houses the Sunken Witch. Stepping through the entrance triggers a cutscene, initiating the boss fight.

Defeating the Sunken Witch in Remnant 2:

To triumph over this enhanced version of the Lesser Sunken Witches, players must navigate the confined space while evading the Witch’s devastating attacks. Utilize high-damage abilities, focus on precision shots to the Witch’s head, and maintain distance to optimize damage while dodging its assaults.

Boss Battle Tips and Strategies:

1. Equipment Selection: Opt for high-damage DPS abilities to whittle down the Witch’s health. Avoid explosive or fire mods with area-of-effect effects that might harm you within the tight corridor.
2. Dodge-Rolling: Use dodge-rolling to evade the Witch’s spinning swipe and smash attacks. Timing is critical to gain distance or maneuver within the confined space.
3. Managing Charge Attacks: Dodge the Witch’s charging lunges after its spinning swipe. Maintain distance to counterattack from a safer range.
4. Demonic Dogs Phase: Expect a phase where the Witch summons demonic creatures. Dispatch these swiftly with powerful melee weapons like the Atom Smasher.
5. Anticipating Ground Pound: After dealing with the dogs, prepare for the Witch’s ground pound attack upon reentry. Stay vigilant and aim to strike as soon as the Witch lands.

Boss Battle Rewards:

Victory against the Sunken Witch rewards players with the craftable weapon mod, Hex Wreath, crucial for crafting Creeping Mist—an invaluable asset deploying a mist for 20 seconds, dealing Status Effect Damage and enhancing Critical Hit probabilities.

Remnant 2: The Awakened King DLC is available on multiple platforms including PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
