The new DLC of Remnant 2, The Awakened King is out and it brings a new map, a new questline in Losomn and a host of new enemies, bosses and items. One of the first bosses you’ll face in the new questline is Bruin, Blade of the King.
Where to Find Bruin Location
As you continue along the main storyline, you’ll come across an area called the Glistering Cloister. Proceed along the map and explore the other areas before going to the other end of the map. Once you find the checkpoint at the other end, you’ll see the misty fog for the boss arena nearby.
How to Defeat Bruin
As his name suggests, Bruin, Blade of the King, is skilled in the use of his blades. Quick reflexes are essential to dodge his swift strikes. Defeating Bruin will net you a Tome of Knowledge and the Wretched Skull item which can be used to make the Ring of Spears Weapon mod.
Bruin’s primary method of attack is his swords. You should try to keep a solid distance to avoid his charges. It is best to wait him out and attack him once he finishes each attack chain. You can also try to dodge to the sides and damage him from behind.
Once his health drops to around 50%, Bruin will leap onto a nearby balcony. A host of flying enemies will charge you while he throws spears at you from there for a while. Take note that the pillars WILL break with a spear hit. Bruin also doesn’t care about his allies and it would be very easy to bait him into spearing his own flying warriors, easily taking them out. Keep shooting at Bruin once all the flying enemies are dead, but keep moving. The spears can knock you down if they make contact. After a while, Bruin will leap to your position with a slam and begin attacking anew.
Bruin’s weak points are on his head and back, and his abdomen has a skull that can be broken. Once broken, it’ll reduce his armor and increase the damage he takes. Many of his attacks have considerable windup so it should not be particularly difficult to dodge them.
We hope this guide has been of to you in defeating Bruin. If you like guides like this, check out our other guides on Remnant 2.
