On this page of our Remnant 2 guide, you can find all there is to know about The Astropath, starting with a short description and explaining his moveset and finally concluding with rewards you'll receive for defeating him.
The Astropath - boss description
The Astropath is a phantom taking the form of a stream of source code. He constantly modifies his form, and can even turn the arena lights off. His weak point is his chest.
Moveset
- Melee Attack - once the boss is in melee range, he will swing his hand, dealing moderate damage.
- Transforming into Sphere - The Astropath can turn into an orange sphere and switch his position to the center of the arena. From the center, he will create expanding shockwaves on the ground. Make sure to dodge each wave.
- Force Field - in his sphere form, The Astropath can create a force field that rotates around its own axis. You'll recognize it thanks to purple light. Some parts of the arena are safe, others are not - as a result, at the moment the fields start changing color to red, quickly go to an area without violet and red colors.
- Ground Projectiles - the boss can create orange projectiles under your feet that go up and explode.
- Phantom Attack - when the boss's health falls down to dangerous levels, it will hide the hologram from the center of the arena. After a while, he will start creating his clones that closely resemble him. The clones can fire projectiles at the player.
How to fight The Astropath (Metaphysical)?
Do not be afraid of staying in the melee range. The only thing that can surprise you there are the melee attacks which are easy to avoid. By dealing damage, you'll make The Astropath change his form.
In sphere form, the enemy is more resistant to your attacks. In essence, you don't deal damage to him, but his sphere form. However, getting rid of the sphere form is a necessary step to defeat the boss. Moreover, watch out for Force Field attack. During the battle, avoid coloured tiles. The purple ones are safe, but after a short moment, they change colour to red - red tiles deal damage.
The moment the boss's health falls to dangerous levels, he will hide the hologram that was the source of light for the arena. Darkness will ensue. When that happens, look around for the boss's clones.
They will be hurling projectiles in your direction. Kill them all as soon as possible, then look for the red smoke. This is one of the forms of the boss.
