Remnant 2: Vault of the Formless Secrets
Before detailing the Vault of the Formless secrets, it is important to emphasize that there is only achancethat they will appear in a roll of the dungeon. Players should thus not expect to encounter every one of these secrets in a single Vault of the Formless, and it may take several re-rolls to see them all. It is also worth noting that the vast majority of these secrets can appear in otherN’Erud dungeons, and fans should keep them in mind as they continue to explore.
Ventilation Shaft Next to House Lythla Glyph
There will occasionally be acontainerto the left of the House Lythla Glyph, and breaking it will giveRemnant 2playersaccess to a ventilation shaft that leads to a room with theMetal Driverring (Killing Blows increase Reload Speed by 5% for 7s. Stacks 3.).
Claw Platform
Players will occasionally encounter a room within the Vault of the Formless in which alarge clawinteracts with arotating device, similar to the dungeon’s final room. This claw will ultimately extract aplatformfrom the rotating device, and fans should jump onto it, wait for the claw to rise, and then jump to abroken walkwayto access a room with theAtom Splittermelee weapon inRemnant 2.
Aerary Glyph Door
There is a chance for another glyph door to appear in the Vault of the Formless, and it is opened with the Aerary Glyph. Players will find this Quest Item on a corpse as they work through the dungeon, and theProgenymini-boss andCrisis Ringare in the room beyond the door.
Locked Glass Doors & W.D. 109
While working through the Vault of the Formless, players may encounter a locked glass door that has apurple itembehind it. To open that door, fans should continue moving forward until they encounter theW.D. 109mini-boss. Fans that bring thisRemnant 2bossto the locked door will find that it opens, and the purple item inside is theExcess Coilring (Activating a Skill grants a Shield for 25% of Max Health. Cannot stack with itself. Lasts 10s.)
Ventilation Shaft Near Locked Red Door
Fans may come across a locked red door that is adjacent to a room with apurple itemin it. If that occurs, players should look nearby for asmall room that is filled with containers, and they shouldbreakthose containers to reveal aventilation shaft.
Players that pass through that shaft will eventually reach theRerouting Cablering, and they should be on the lookout for ahole on the right sideas they draw near to the exit. Through that hole,Soulslikefans will see abroken cable, and they shouldshoot the containerbetween the two sections to open the red door and gain access to theBlackout Ringthat is beyond it.
Flooded Room
While not exactly a “secret,” it is possible for the Flooded Room event to occur in the Vault of the Formless. This event centers around draining a large vertical room and collectingthree items(detailed below) from within it before it refills with water. Notably, fans will only haveone chance per Flooded Room eventto grab the items, and Movement Speed-granting Traits, consumables, and gear can make things significantly easier.
Purple Orbs
This is also not technically a “secret,” though players that encounter the purple orbs in the Vault of the Formless may have questions about them. Quite simply, these balls are seemingly intended to be hazards that cannot be eliminated, and fans will need to maintain their distance from them as they work to complete thisRemnant 2dungeon.
