What is an Engram in Remnant 2?
Engrams are brand-new items introduced with Remnant 2 and while some can be found by doing unique prerequisites, others are found by just purchasing them from vendors in Ward 13.
The engrams are one of the things needed to obtain new Archetypes, although, they are not just unlocked by having them.
How to Craft A Secondary Archetype Engram
Once you have the engram you wish to use, players must then have it crafted by an NPC in Ward 13 named Wallace. He is located on the second level of the crane positioned at the docks of the ward.
Besides the engram itself, players must have ten Lumenite Crystals and 1,000 scrap in order to fulfill the order. So make sure you are prepped with all three items and you will have a secondary Archetype of your choosing.
Where to Find Engrams for Each Remnant 2 Archetype
Ward 13 – Base Archetype Engrams
The base archetype can also be switched out by purchasing an engram from a merchant at Ward 13. The engrams are as follows:
- Medic Pin: Purchasable from Dr. Norah at her station in Ward 13 – Unlocks the Medic.
- Broken Whistle: Can be bought from Mudtooth in Ward 13 – Unlocks the Handler class.
- Rusty Medal: Bought from Brabus at the firing range in Ward 13 – Unlocks the Hunter.
- Old Metal Tool: Purchased from Reggie (beside Mudtooth) in Ward 13 – Unlocks the Challenger.
- Worn Cylinder: After completing your second world in the campaign mode, listen to 20 of Mudtooth’s stories – Unlocks the Gunslinger archetype.
Hidden Archetype Engrams
Hidden throughout the different worlds of Remnant 2 are engrams that, when their prerequisites are completed, can be used to unlock the following archetypes:
Losomn
Philosopher’s Stone: The engram can be earned from the world of Losomn, in the Dran overland areas of Ironborough, Brocwithe Quarter, Morrow Parish, or Lemark District.
Once there, players must approach any sewer drain on the map’s edge until they are grabbed by a creature called the Manticora.
After being teleported to the White Manticora boss fight and defeating it, the Philosopher’s Stone will be available. Crafting this with Wallace will unlock the Alchemist.
Root Earth
Broken Compass
Easily obtained by completing an entire playthrough of the campaign mode. The engram should be on the final location of Root Earth, in the Blackened Citadel. Unlocks the Explorer.
Wooden Shiv
Players will need to travel to the Corrupted Harbor in Root Earth, and locate the Blue Sparkle Stone. Then, you must use the Dreamcatcher weapon on the Blue Sparkle Stone to get a consumable item called the “Walker’s Dream”. Using the item will spawn a boss called Bane.
Defeating the boss will reward you with the Wooden Shiv, and unlock the Invader archetype when you return to Wallace.
N’Erud
Alien Device
The engram can be found on the outer reaches of either open world area of N’Erud rolls, the areas are called The Eon Vault, Abyssal Rift, Phantom Wasteland, or Timeless Horizon.
However, it may be hard to find, so it is encouraged to use the “Fortune Hunter” skill from the Explorer Archetype. Finding the device and taking it to get crafted allows the Engineer class to become available to equip.
Yaesha
Faded Grimoire
The Faded Grimoire can be found by purchasing it from the Bloodmoon Alter in Yaesha’s Forbidden Grove area for 15 Bloodmoon Essence.
The altar is a grey-looking pedestal that is indicated as blue on the game’s map. Players can obtain essences by killing floating root wisps during a Bloodmoon (red moon) in any of the open-world segments of Yaesha.
Once the grimoire is purchased and crafted, the Summoner class will be available.
