As an avid Remnant fan who has sunk over 80 hours into the sequel, I‘ve unlocked some spectacular weapons. But none have proven more difficult or rewarding than acquiring the mythical Dreamcatcher. This formidable melee staff contains strange arcane properties and remains hidden behind obscure asylum quests.
In this comprehensive guide, I‘ll showcase foolproof methods to obtain the critical Nightweaver Stone Doll item to ultimately claim the Dreamcatcher prize. Players who crave unique classes and weapons won‘t want to miss unlocking this beauty!
The initial step is making adequate story progress until the "Asylum" quest spawns you at the ominous Morrow Parish Sanatorium location. This decaying building teems with supernatural anomalies and aggressive humanoid enemies alike, so enter prepared for heavy resistance.
I cannot recommend enough bringing ample firepower and protective mods attuned to physical and anomaly damage types. Foes like the Lurkers and summoned Nightmare apparitions effortlessly overwhelmed my initial attempts. However, after equipping my MAXModded Double Gun pistol sidearm and a Complex armor vest augmented with anomaly resistance, I cleared out the hostile forces efficiently.
With bloodthirsty enemies dispatched, shift focus towards thoroughly searching every room and outside area. Your goal is locating and collecting 3 Stone Carved idols vital to escape the asylum later. I wasted nearly 2 hours backtracking aimlessly between floors looking for these easy-to-miss dolls on first playthroughs.
However, after mapping the procedural interior layouts multiple times, I‘ve pinpointed exact doll locations to streamline this process. Equip anomaly detection abilities like the Sensorium mod to easily spot the doll‘s energy signatures even through walls too.
Here is an efficient route through the asylum‘s chaos to grab all idols quickly:
Stone Carved Doll #1
Clear asylum interior ground level, grab doll inside bedroom #207. This medical room contains the first locked safe.
Stone Carved Doll #2
Take stairs up to 2nd floor, exit to backyard through damaged wall in hallway. Grab 2nd doll next to glowing blue tree.
Stone Carved Doll #3
Return inside, take stairs down to basement. Defeat boss enemy Ripsaw, loot his key to access 3rd floor. Climb to top floor, enter medical bay #315 to collect the final doll.
With all 3 stone carved dolls obtained, the Head Nurse holds the real keys for escape…
Freeing the Asylum‘s Head Nurse
Backtracking downstairs again, use the basement key found earlier to unlock the strange metal door at the very end. Behind this ominous gateway lies the Head Nurse: the apparent asylum director trapped locked away in an insane cell.
A disturbing cutscene plays where the unhinged nurse examines your carved idols, then sings a rhyming musical verse. Listen extremely closely – her song reveals the critical code "2971" for a wall safe holding valuable gear elsewhere in the facility!
I strongly advise writing this exact code down or screenshotting the subtitles during this sequence. The head nurse also presents more cryptic directions to locate her real cell‘s key. "Behind the window that whispers above." This clue pinpoints a specific asylum area.
Solving the Safe Code Riddle
With the safe combo recorded, backtrack upstairs again to the open window overlooking the front courtyard. Interact here to receive the balcony key which grants access to the Head Nurse‘s maximum security cell!
Descend into the basement again and utilize the new balcony key to unlock her corridor. Inside rests the coveted Nightweaver Stone Doll relic absolutely integral for escaping and acquiring the mythical Dreamcatcher weapon! Take this doll and immediately backtrack to floor 3.
Use code "2971" to unlock the safe inside room #315. This safe holds the powerful Double Barrel Coach Gun for defeating the deadly Ravager boss later. While a fantastic weapon, collecting the coach gun simply completes the asylum side objective.
The Nightweaver doll remains essential for advancing the true "Web of Nightweavers" Dreamcatcher quest. Let us continue!
Traversing the Web Of Nightweavers
With my hard-earned Nightweaver idol finally obtained after battling through the treacherous Morrow Asylum, I set off towards the distant Nightweaver anomaly zone. Consider stocking up on vital supplies at Jenson‘s outpost beforehand – this lengthy journey contains some difficult enemy encounters!
Eventually, I arrived at the foreboding Web of Nightweavers domain filled with hostile widowmakers and deadly environmental hazards. Various climbable surfaces allowed safely traversing the gigantic web while avoiding touching deadly acid pools and tar traps below.
Soon the central Nightweaver node hummed violently – this indicated it required a worthy sacrifice to dispense its valuable gift. I presented my Nightweaver Stone Doll relic without hesitation!
Incredible arcing spirit energy crackled through the web as an ethereal version of the deadly Dreamcatcher materialized before me. I gripped this formidable weapon tightly while spectral whispers filled the air. The Quest Log simultaneously flashed displaying "Invader Class Unlocked!" text.
My long struggle through the asylum‘s confines has reaped an amazing reward – a powerful staff emanating dream essence energy and channeling new combat skills into its master. Let‘s examine the Dreamcatcher and its occult secrets!
This menacing melee weapon dealers shocking blows whenever slamming its bladed end through soft, vulnerable flesh. Button prompts also indicate pressing "Heavy Attack" after inflicting over 250 damage to overload the Dreamcatcher with energy.
Releasing this stored power triggers the staff‘s "Dreamwave" occult ability – unleashing a cascading wave that burns enemies for heavy damage and causes a stunned "Sleeping" status effect. I found this extra disabling blast perfect for crowd controlling mobs of Widowmakers while Invading their nests.
Here are the deadly Dreamcatcher‘s key stats fully upgraded at Gear Score 15:
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Damage | 58 |
| Primary Attack | Melee Strike – Basic quick attacks that build Dreamwave energy. |
| Secondary Attack | Dreamwave Blast – Expends stored 250+ damage to cause area of effect damage and Sleep status. |
| Required Dexterity | 45 |
As the stats showcase, Dexterity focused buildsbenefit greatest from the Dreamcatcher‘s potential. Its innate Invader class synergizes perfectly granting mobility buffs to my hit-and-run playstyle. Activating the Shadow Cloak to approach undetected, then bombarding enemies with a brutal Dreamwave sleep spell proves extremely viable on Nightmare difficulty.
I‘m thrilled unlocking the Dreamcatcher provides access to the melee-centric Invader skill tree as well. These stealth-based talents expand battlefield options dramatically against all encounter varieties in the end-game zones. Let‘s examine useful Invader skills to pair with the Dreamcatcher next.
Unlocking the mythical Dreamcatcher staff simultaneously grants the ultra-rare Invader class specialization. This enhancement tree focuses heavily on stacking damage bonuses before unleashing critical strikes emerged from stealth or invisibility.
As someone who regularly takes a stealthy approach in combat scenarios, the Invader extras felt immediately intuitive complementing my tendencies. Here are some exceptional skills I prioritized upgrading with available Iron and Anomaly Shards:
Shadow Cloak
- Activate to enter stealth gaining 50% movement speed and melee damage for 8 seconds. Attacking breaks invisibility.
This core ability sees frequent use scouting areas safely and approaching targets without detection. The bonus melee damage especially makes initial Dreamcatcher blows devastating ambush openers.
Sudden Strike
- 40% chance melee attacks deal double damage when attacking from stealth or invisibility.
Effectively boosts average strikes to 116 damage, while a lucky critical burst reaches 232 damage! This randomly triggered passive couples so well with Shadow Cloak to terrify and shred groups rapidly.
Anomalous Twin
- Kill an enemy under 50% health to spawn an invulnerable shadow clone that fights for you for 20 seconds.
Generating an ally to temporarily divide attention serves greatly when outnumbered. Utilize the clone distraction to retreat and recover or set up fatal stealth blows picking off weakened stragglers.
Several Tier 2 and Tier 3 talents provide even more stacked invisibility bonuses I plan investing into next. These include extending Shadow Cloak duration, reducing ability cooldown speeds, granting lifesteal for each critical hit and more.
As my past invade operations have proven, the Nightweaver Stone Doll quest hides spectacular rewards beyond expectations. Now I can terrorize Remnant 2 regions with deadly skills and unique gear rivals dare not dream exists!
Let me know down below if you need any tips defeating future challenges like the lethal Ravager using the Invader class and almighty Dreamcatcher. I may revisit covering the intricacies of maintaining stealth and delivering lethal burst damage successfully. Fear the shadows!
