Owning Remnant 2's Awakened King DLC isn't enough to unlock the Ritualist. As per the game's tradition, players will need to find a hidden item and bring it back to Ward 13 before they can play with all the new powers the Ritualist has to offer. Here's where to find said item.

Remnant 2 Ritualist Engram Location

To unlock the Ritualist archetype, players must find the Ragged Poppet item in the Drowned Wen, a subsection of the Forlorn Coast map found only in the DLC. Players need to explore the Forlorn Coast until they reach the canal with lined-up boats as shown above.

Hop aboard one of the boats and jump from platform to platform. Follow the path in the video above and head inside the hole in the wall. Continue down the tunnel to find an elite enemy performing a ritual on a pig-dog. Eliminate them both, then grab the Ragged Poppet that's nailed to one of the wooden posts.

Teleport back to Ward 13 and bring the Ragged Poppet to Wallace to turn it into the Cursed Effigy, an equippable engram that grants players the powers of the Ritualist archetype. Make sure to bring some extra Lumenite Crystals in order to purchase the engram.

The Ritualist focuses heavily on negative status effects. Offense-wise, it can apply and spread conditions while gaining increased damage and other benefits when fighting debuffed enemies. It's Prime Perk, Vile, inflicts the Infected status on any target hit with another negative effect, greatly increasing the damage they take from Status Effects.

With the right build, Ritualists can inflict three or more status effects in a single weapon hit. Even without status-inflicting weapons, they can still spread DoTs by using their Miasma skill, which applies Bleeding, Burning, Overloaded, and Corroded to everything within a certain radius. Ritualists can then detonate any enemy afflicted with a negative status with Eruption, which deals more damage per unique status effect on a target.

Ritualists start with a unique armor set as well as the new Ritualist Scythe and Sparkfire Shotgun. The latter is especially useful for this archetype since it inflicts Burning with every shot.
