After spending muchRemnant 2’sstory campaign hunting down all three mysterious objects for Clementine and the Keeper, players will eventually find themselves squaring off against the avatar of the Root—a hulking, wooden dragon aptly named Annihilation. This monstrosity is the pinnacle of the game’s challenges, and it can be very tough to beat the first time around.

Annihilation is as deadly as it is intimidating. Its attacks are frantic, and many players may have trouble keeping up with its pace. Even on the lowest ofRemnant 2’sdifficulties, this boss is still hard to beat. However, once players nail a few important parts of this boss' moveset down, then fighting it will become significantly easier.
Remnant 2: How to Beat Annihilation
Understanding any boss' movesetis the key to beating them, and the same applies to this one. Annihilation may attack frantically, but its moves are actually very well-telegraphed. Repeat the fight enough times and players will eventually get the boss' attack timings down—the important thing here is to memorize its moves consciously instead of panicking. For reference’s sake, here are the boss' attacks:
Description
Sword Stab
Annihilation slams its sword before stabbing it downward. This often chains up to three times total, with the final hit spawning energy orbs that seek players if not shot down.
Ground Slam
Annihilation slams the ground with its hand, causing waves of energy to cascade toward the player.
Sword Rush
The boss rears back and attempts to impale the player with its sword.
Sword Swipe
Annihilation moves to one side of the arena and prepares to sweep the floor with its sword. This is usually accompanied by a barrage of lightning and followed-up by Tentacle Slam.
Tentacle Slam
The tentacles in the boss arena will slam toward an indicated direction. If annihilation slams its own tentacle, it will create a Blight cloud on the player’s location.
Glitch
Annihilation swaps between its first and second forms, throwing the player off-guard.
Like most other bosses, this one mixes its attacks up to keep players guessing all the time. However, Annihilation has long wind-up animations that make each incoming attack obvious. So long as players learn the timing of each attack, they should have no problem dodging.
