The Stonewarden in Remnant 2 is probably the second toughest fight in The Forgotten Kingdom DLC. If you are struggling to defeat it, we’re here to help. Here’s how to defeat The Stonewarden in Remnant 2‘s newest DLC.
Before you fight The Stonewarden in Remnant 2 DLC
Before you fight Stonewarden in Remnant 2 The Forgotten Kingdom, make sure you have the right equipment:
We’re recommending a fast-healing Relic because The Stonewarden rarely gives you more than a second to recuperate. If you use a slow-healing relic like the Dragon Heart, you might not even get a chance to heal once because of how often The Stonewarden attacks. If you do use the Dragon Heart, however, wait for this boss to finish its attacks before healing. Some attacks take longer for the boss to recover from, giving you just enough time to pull off a heal.
I used Sorrow as my gun because, even though it can only hold five bullets, it reloads automatically and can even heal you slightly.
You should equip medium or light armor because you need to dodge roll all the time. Heavy armor, like the new Disciple armor, makes your dodges slow and clumsy, which we don’t recommend when fighting The Stonewarden.
To sum up, The Stonewarden attacks fast, frequently, and hits hard. You won’t get much chance to heal or reload, so use anything to speed those things up.
How to defeat The Stonewarden in Remnant 2 DLC
The Stonewarden has two phases.
Phase one
During the first phase, The Stonewarden only launch-attacks at you. Most of these are one-hit attacks, but it can also do a spear swing, which can be a three-hit chain attack. The good news is you can dodge all these by simply rolling around outside or into the attacks. The invincibility window for dodge rolls is truly amazing in Remnant 2. All that said, you can still get hit quite easily because The Stonewarden launches another attack as soon as it finishes one.
I suggest you fire your Handgun at The Stonewarden after every dodge. The Stonewarden’s weak spots are its stomach (the glowing part) and gauntlet, but don’t stress over hitting those too much. Keep dodging and firing at it until you lower about 50 percent of its health.
Phase two
When you lower The Stonewarden’s health to around 50 percent, it flies up and lowers the entire arena. Once the arena has dropped, notice the statues on each side of the room. The Stonewarden will fly towards one side and control the statues. Immediately head to the opposite side and get ready to face two sets of statues. They will start moving towards the other side. If you get hit by one of the statues, you take significant damage. Even worse, the second set of statues stops somewhere in the middle of the arena, and they explode after a second, so make sure you don’t stand near them.
Try to avoid being hit by the statues when they move toward you, and definitely don’t stand near them when they stop moving so you won’t get caught in an explosion.
After you survive the statue onslaught, keep fighting The Stonewarden the same way as in phase one. If you take your time, the Stonewarden can do another statue onslaught, so just repeat the process if that happens. Otherwise, kill The Stonewarden and claim the Pallid Loadstone crafting material as your reward.
