Remnant 2 The Forgotten Kingdom DLC adds a new campaign to the Yaesha biome, filled with new bosses, new puzzles, new loot, and the Infested Abyss. In this guide, I'll tell you everything you need to know about this difficult section.
Infected Abyss Dungeon Walkthrough – All Rewards / Remnant 2 Forgotten Kingdom
If you’re playing One Shot Mode in Remnant 2 The Forgotten Kingdom, you can access the Infested Abyss directly from the first zone you load. From the Glittering Grotto, head up the cliff to where you meet Walt the merchant. Just before you go up the steep slope with flying enemies, look to the right. There’s a path that leads to the Kuri Kuri Egg, and another less obvious path that leads to a waterfall. Take the path that leads to the waterfall and jump through. Behind the waterfall is another room that leads to the Infested Abyss. If you’ve already cleared The Forgotten King DLC and rerolled your Adventure Mode, you’ll need to reroll Yaesha in Adventure Mode until you get the DLC area with the Infested Abyss again. It took me about five rerolls, but I finally got the zone.
When you first enter the Infested Abyss, it doesn’t seem that bad. There are a few enemies, a few predictable paths and secrets, but generally nothing you haven’t seen before. The “fun” starts when you reach the first mini-checkpoint, which is next to a hole surrounded by roots. From there, you’ll have to defeat three gauntlets and an optional boss.
Drop down into the hole by landing on the giant roots. When you reach the floor, a poisonous red mist will slowly eat away at your health. As bad as it seems, it is very doable to stay in the mist, especially if you have alternative medicine. Don't worry, you can clear the mist later.
