Remnant 2 has a very interesting atmosphere, one might even say creepy, as its world is completely devastated by monsters. Although the level design is well-developed, the game also has other mechanics that are nicely implemented.

This guide will talk about one of them, specifically about classes, the so-called archetypes. There are 10 of them in the game and each has its own skills, traits, and perks. But this guide is about how to unlock the Explorer Archetype in Remnant 2.

In fact, it is very difficult to unlock this archetype because to get it, users need to kill the final boss, which means to complete the game. After the game is done, they will receive the Broken Compass. This valuable item must be given to a character named Wallace, who is located in Ward 13. This is the same character who provided players with their first archetype at the beginning of the game. Wallace will exchange the Broken Compass for a Golden Compass, which gamers can use to choose an Explorer archetype.
