What is the Astropath Boss
In Remnant 2, the Astropath is one tough Boss you’ll encounter. It’s a combination of mighty Specters, representing the once great Astropaths of the Drzyr. Bosses often guard special places or valuable items, and some of them play a crucial role in the game’s Lore and main Story.
The Astropath boss can prove to be a chaotic and challenging foe in Remnant 2, making it advisable to gather a party to face it together. However, don’t be afraid if you are a solo player, as we have a guide for you too. Follow these steps to beat the formidable Astropath Boss.
