Remnant 2 features many distinct locations that you might not even find in just one playthrough of the game. Kaeula’s Rest is one such location in the Yaesha realm that requires you to defeat Kaeula’s Shadow in Remnant 2. He is a corrupted demi-god that spreads Root in its wake and can be a powerful boss to deal with.
In this guide, we will take a look at how you can complete Kaeula’s Rest by finding the ring left behind by it and then defeat Kaelula’s Shadow at the end of it.
How to complete Kaeula’s Rest to challenge Kaeula’s Shadow in Remnant 2
To defeat Kaeula’s Shadow in Remnant 2, you will first need to go through the entirety of Kaeula’s Rest location, which can be found in the Yaesha realm. Due to the randomly generated layouts in Remnant 2, there is a chance you will not get this area in your playthrough. If so, you will have to restart the Yaesha realm to change its layout.
In order to start this boss fight, explore Yaesha until you get to Kaeula’s Rest location. Upon reaching this area, you will find the Kaeula’s Tear ring ready to be picked up. However, once you loot this ring, a cutscene will play where Kaeula’s Shadow will come out from behind the statue and drag you into the depths of the pond, where you will face it in a boss fight.
How to beat Kaeula’s Shadow in Remnant 2
Kaeula’s Shadow can be a tough boss to deal with, as he has multiple phases and cunning moves to keep you on your toes. The fight takes place in an area known as the Temple of Water, which is like a circular area filled with puddles. This area can be annoying when trying to defeat Kaeula’s Shadow as you can fall in the water constantly.
The trick here is to not fall in the water as it will slow you down. You can do this by staying in the areas covered in red moss. This is the main tactic of this boss fight.
As for Kaeula’s Shadow, the fight is split into two distinct phases, one in which Kaeula’s Shadow fights the player using his giant sword and the other where it goes away and you fight its tentacles instead. These phases are not tied to its health bar but, instead, just happen every so often and repeat until the boss is killed.
Here are the general tips and strategies you need to follow to defeat Kaeula’s Shadow in Remnant 2:
- The general approach to this boss fight is to keep a decent amount of distance and use ranged weapons for the most part. Kaeula’s Shadow will use its dig move to close the gap, so make sure you regain the distance before engaging again.
- Kaeula’s Shadow has a lot of ranged attacks. Learn its pattern and dodge these attacks, but if you can find cover using the pillars around the map, use them as it can save stamina for more crucial moments.
- Kaeula’s Shadow is known to be weak against fire damage — use this to your advantage and deal as much fire damage as possible. The Hot-Shot weapon mod you can get from McCabe at Ward 13 in Remnant 2 works well against this boss.
- Remember that you have picked up the Tear of Kaeula ring before the fight. If you happen to fail an attempt, you can equip this ring to get two extra Relic charges before attempting to defeat Kaeula’s Shadow again.
- When Kaeula’s Shadow uses his sword combo attack, make sure you dodge backward and do so multiple times as he will swing his sword at least twice.
- During the tentacle phase, just try and survive its attack and shoot at them when you get an opening. Start from your nearest tentacle until all of them are gone, which will trigger Kaeula’s Shadow to come back out again.
That is all you need to know on how to complete Kaeula’s Rest and defeat Kaeula’s Shadow in Remnant 2. Always make sure you constantly stay on the red moss in this boss fight or none of the above tips will matter once you are slow and weak.
