Remnant 2 – Both Choices: Shut Down the Core or Destroy the Core

In Remnant 2, the fate of N’Erud and the Dryzr is in your hands. You must choose to shut down or destroy the Core. Both options offer different outcomes, but one thing is for sure, it is defeating the entity within the core. Read on if you want to know the outcome of Both Choices: Shut Down the Core or Destroy the Core in Remnant 2.

Both Choices: Shut Down the Core or Destroy the Core

There are two choices on what you can do with the core in the Sentinel’s Keep/ Core Tower in Remnant 2. Both choices have different consequences and rewards. If you’re not sure what to do, here is the difference between choosing to Shut Down the Core or Destroy the Core in the game.

Shut Down the Core

If you want side with the Custodian and save N’Erud and the Dryzr, you must shut down the core. Approach the console and interact with the display to start a boss fight with Sha’Hala, the Spectral Guardian of N’Erud.

Sha’Hala, the Spectral Guardian of N’Erud, is a giant phantom boss in Remnant 2. It has multiple eyes and a powerful laser beam attack. It can also summon smaller phantoms to fight alongside it.

To defeat Sha’Hala, players must use a combination of ranged and melee attacks to whittle down its health. They must also be careful to avoid its laser beam attack, which can deal a lot of damage. Furthermore, you can attack the orb he’s holding to deal critical damage.

After defeating Sha’Hala, the Custodian will thank you and give you the Eidolon Shard, which you can take to McCabe for the Spectral Blade melee weapon.

The Spectral Blade is a melee weapon in Remnant 2. It is a super-heated laser sword with an infinitely sharp edge. When you perform a charge attack during a neutral backdash, it creates a whirlwind of slashes that can damage multiple enemies.

The Spectral Blade is a powerful weapon that can be used to quickly dispatch enemies. It is also a good choice for crowd control, as the whirlwind attack can hit multiple enemies at once.

Furthermore, after you defeat Sha’Hala, Alepsis-Taura in N’Erud becomes accessible 24 hours later. You can visit it to claim the Void Heart (Relic).

The Void Heart relic reduces incoming damage by 50% for 4 seconds. After the buff ends, it heals the user for 100% of their missing health over 0.75 seconds.

Before unlocking Alepsis-Taura, make sure you have completed all of your objectives in N’Erud. Otherwise, you will have to reroll the map. Once Alepsis-Taura is unlocked, the rest of N’Erud will become inaccessible.

Destroy the Core

To side with the Guardian, you must opt to destroy the core. Approach the console and interact with the slot on the right side of the display.

Insert the Override Pin to proceed. This will once again, initiate a boss encounter with Sha’Hala, the Spectral Guardian of N’Erud.

Void Cinder

Once you defeat Sha’Hala, you will be rewarded with the Void Cinder, which you can bring to McCabe to craft a powerful weapon, the Aphelion.

The Aphelion long gun unleashes the power of a dying star, inflicting high damage at medium range. Its hypercharged wide-arcing line allows you to rain down destruction on enemies.

And there you have it, that’s everything you need to know about Both Choices: Shut Down the Core or Destroy it in Remnant 2. If you have questions or concerns, feel free to leave them in the comments section below.
