Remnant 2 is filled with tense action and brutal boss fights. The first DLC offering, The Awakened King, is no different, as you'll have to put an end to a mad lord. Our guide discusses how to beat the One True King in Remnant 2. We also talk about weapon rewards, such as the Monarch for the normal kill and the Wrathbringer for the alternate kill. Lastly, please be reminded that this article contains spoilers.

To beat the One True King in Remnant 2's The Awakened King DLC, you need to be mindful of his vicious melee strikes, deadly flame breath, and self-healing mechanic. However, before we discuss the encounter itself, we urge you to check our Nimue decisions/rewards guide. That's because you're given several options on how to deal with the goddess Nimue and the mad monarch himself. Your decisions regarding Nimue, as well as when you fight the boss, lead to specific rewards.

Take note that the normal kill method rewards you with the Monarch weapon. The alternate kill method, meanwhile, requires a couple of unique items, though you'll receive the Wrathbringer weapon for your efforts.

The Remnant 2 One True King boss transports you to a separate throne room once the fight begins. This foe has several devastating abilities:

Thankfully, the boss' attacks are easily telegraphed. There are also pillars in the throne room that will block some of the hits, though it's usually better to judge roll out of the way. He can also get temporarily stunned if you deal enough damage to break his mallet weapon. Likewise, make sure you're able to eliminate all the summoned mobs to prevent the boss from restoring too much of his HP.
