The Ritualist is a character archetype that was introduced during the launch ofRemnant 2: Awakened King. It stands out from the rest of the class options by focusing primarily on inflicting negative status effects that can melt enemies down with very little input from players.
OwningRemnant 2’s Awakened KingDLC isn’t enough to unlock the Ritualist. As per the game’s tradition, players will need to find a hidden item and bring it back to Ward 13 before they can play with all the new powers the Ritualist has to offer. Here’s where to find said item.

To unlock the Ritualist archetype, players must find the Ragged Poppet item in the Drowned Wen,a subsection of the Forlorn Coast mapfound only in the DLC. Players need to explore the Forlorn Coast until they reach the canal with lined-up boats as shown above.
Hop aboard one of the boats and jump from platform to platform. Follow the path in the video above and head inside the hole in the wall. Continue down the tunnel to find an elite enemy performing a ritual on a pig-dog. Eliminate them both, then grab the Ragged Poppet that’s nailed to one of the wooden posts.
Teleport back toWard 13and bring the Ragged Poppet toWallaceto turn it into theCursed Effigy, an equippable engram that grants players the powers of the Ritualist archetype. verify to bring some extra Lumenite Crystals in order to purchase the engram.
The Ritualist focuses heavily on negative status effects. Offense-wise, it can apply and spread conditions while gaining increased damage and other benefits when fighting debuffed enemies. It’s Prime Perk, Vile, inflicts theInfectedstatus on any target hit with another negative effect, greatly increasing the damage they take from Status Effects.
With the right build, Ritualists can inflict three or more status effects in a single weapon hit. Even without status-inflicting weapons, they can still spread DoTs by using their Miasma skill, which appliesBleeding, Burning, Overloaded, and Corrodedto everything within a certain radius. Ritualists can then detonate any enemy afflicted with a negative status withEruption,which deals more damage per unique status effect on a target.
Ritualists start with a unique armor set as well as the new Ritualist Scythe and Sparkfire Shotgun. The latter is especially useful for this archetype since it inflicts Burning with every shot.
