SinceRemnant 2places heavy emphasis on content randomization and repeated playthroughs, it’s natural that the fresh new DLC content, too, would get incorporated into the roster when you purchase it. What if you don’t want to fiddle about in old dungeons, though? Thankfully, there’s a (somewhat imperfect) fix.
If you’re anything like me, then you’ve spent the majority of yourRemnant 2playtime mucking about in N’Erud. Its grim, post-apocalyptic sci-fi vibes are such a stark contrast to Losomn’s Victorian focus and Yaesha’s annoying red forests that it can’t help but stand out, andThe Dark HorizonDLCplays into this as well. Since you’re probably very familiar with old N’Erud content by this point, though, you’re going to want to make use ofRemnant 2‘s One-Shot Adventure feature, which allows you to somewhat straightforwardly enjoy the DLC content and the DLC content alone.
How to play The Dark Horizon One-Shot Adventure?
Remnant 2‘sDark HorizonDLC offers a surprisingly concrete explanation as to what, exactly, the Dryzyr found in the Alepsis-Taura black hole. To really get the gist of what it’s all about, you’re going to want to experience as much ofThe Dark Horizonas humanly possible, and to do just that, you should pick the ‘One-Shot Adventure’ option. You can find it via the ‘Adventure Mode’ sub-menu when interacting with any World Stone you come across.
Now, the thing to note about One-Shot Adventures is that they are especially curated playthroughs that won’t normally occur after you’re through with them. What I mean by this is that you only really get a single playthrough of your One-Shot, and only have the ability to generate a regularDark HorizonAdventure after you’re done with it.
The bit that makes a One-Shot special is that itonlyfeatures the new bits of content that were released as part of theDark HorizonDLC. Since all ofRemnant 2‘s N’Erud content otherwise gets jumbled together and used during the campaign generation process, a regular Adventure pulls from the entire roster of content available for a given world. In practice, this means you should absolutely finish the One-Shot when you have the chance, as that’s the only way to get as muchDark Horizoncontent in one playthrough as possible.
None of this would be a problem if you could generate as many One-Shots as possible. This, however, isn’t the case, as only the first playthrough of DLC content inRemnant 2will be of the One-Shot variety. If you re-write your One-Shot accidentally, you’re out of luck and have no way of getting it back. Something to keep in mind, I’d say.
