How to beat the Primogenitor in Remnant 2

The Primogenitor is a formidable boss in Remnant 2 that requires careful strategy and preparation to defeat. This small, glowing blue space crab resides in the Hatchery, surrounded by alien space crabs. It is a powerful boss that can be fought by eliminating its flying hosts, which have the ability to inflict Curse Blight if left unchecked.

Understanding the Primogenitor's Attacks:

The Primogenitor possesses a facehugger-like attack that deals significant damage and knocks the player down. This can be especially dangerous if the player is caught off guard or unable to dodge the attack. Additionally, the Primogenitor spawns numerous adds throughout the fight, which can slow the player down and inflict Curse build-up.

Preparing for the Fight:

To increase your chances of success, it is recommended to equip weapons that are effective against the Primogenitor. Automatic weapons with a large magazine size or heavy melee weapons can be particularly useful in forcing the Primogenitor out of its defensive shell. Additionally, fire damage is highly effective against the Primogenitor and can deal significant area-of-effect damage to both the boss and its surrounding hosts.

Strategies for Defeating the Primogenitor:

1. Focus on killing the flying hosts first: These flying creatures are the source of Curse Blight and can greatly hinder your progress in the fight. By eliminating them quickly, you can reduce the Curse build-up and ensure a smoother battle.

2. Use an automatic weapon or heavy melee weapon to force the Primogenitor out: The Primogenitor will retreat into its shell periodically, making it invulnerable to damage. To force it out, utilize weapons that have a high rate of fire or heavy hitting melee attacks. This will help you break through its defenses and continue dealing damage.

3. Remove Curse Blight quickly: If you find yourself inflicted with Curse Blight, it is crucial to remove it as soon as possible. This debuff not only slows you down but also reduces your health bar. Utilize any available means to remove Curse, such as consumables or abilities, to maintain your combat effectiveness.

While the Primogenitor may have a relatively small health bar, the fight can be quite challenging due to its relentless attacks and the swarm of adds it spawns. By staying mobile, prioritizing the elimination of flying hosts, and using fire damage to your advantage, you can eventually overcome this formidable boss. Defeating the Primogenitor rewards you with a Trait point and the Cracked Shell crafting material, making it a worthwhile endeavor in Remnant 2.
