This guide will help players solve the Withered Necropolis symbols puzzle and obtain the Genesis Long Gun in Remnant 2's The Dark Horizon DLC.
Nevertheless, there are a few things players should know about this location, and this guide will go through every single detail, so that you don't miss any loot or critical encounter.
Where To Find The Detritus Foundry In Remnant 2
Once players are done exploring all the procedural dungeons and maps available in the Agronomy Sector, which might include the Stagnant Manufactory and its devilish puzzles, they will notice another path is available if they use the Gliders and travel north, following the hot air streams.
Upon reaching a secluded area, there will be a platform accessible only by Glider, and on top of it, the entrance to the Detritus Foundry, which is the dungeon that connects the Agronomy Sector with the Withered Necropolis zone.
Once they enter the Detritus Foundry, they'll be received by the characteristic red glow of the World Stone, and if they step a little bit further, there will be some enemies alongside a disheveled walkway. Continue going deeper into the dungeon until you reach a crossroads. Here is where players can go on a little detour and look for possible world drops (procedurally generated in every N'erud adventure), chests, and more.

Greenhouse Laboratory |
After completing the first section of the Detritus Foundry, keep going further until you find an elevator that will lead to the Greenhouse subsection of the dungeon. In this place, there will be a big area surrounded by glass walls with several crops inside. In the middle of that section, there will be a glowing Red Key Item named Crop Sample — grab it and prepare to fight.
A series of enemies (including an Elite Amalgam) will swarm the room, and there will be little space to fight them off. The best approach here is to take business outside the inner circle where the Crop Sample was found.
Using an Archetype that deals area damage, like the Archon, can help players get out of sticky situations like swarm attacks, or avoid being cornered by strong Elite enemies like Amalgams and Harvesters, who rely on physical attacks to overpower the player.
After they beat the Amalgam and its minions, the players will be rewarded with a Shard and can continue exploring the dungeon. The first thing they need to know is that there are no more Cromp Samples available; it's only one item per run.

Where To Use The Crop Sample In Detritus Foundry
In one of the sections of the Greenhouse circular area, there's a small detour that leads to an elevator. Take it and descend to the Greenhouse Laboratory. Inside, players will notice two glowing statues, a pool of black Ooze, and a shiny purple object alongside a chest in the back of the room. Approach the shiny object, which is a Quantum Memory amulet — a pretty useful item that causes your perfect dodges to reload the main weapon, or perfect slide dodges to reload both weapons at the same time. It can be pretty complex to use, but it's a great accessory.
Next, players should listen to the voice recording next to the corpse, which will give them clues on how to use the Crop Sample they picked up earlier. Take a look at both statues with terrariums in front of them; the audio file warns of one being dangerous.
If you plant the Crop Sample in the Red Statue, nothing will happen, but if players come back later, they'll be able to face a mini-Boss called the Inverted Shambler. This creature will drop the Repercussion Mutator, which grants a stackable damage buff to ranged weapons (up to five stacks).
If players plant the Crop Sample in the Blue Statue, players will need to complete the dungeon and return later to find that the Cromp Sample has bloomed. Approaching it will let them pick a new Relic item: The Gossamer Heart. Curiously, this item doesn't heal, but instead provides a passive bonus to the Evade Window frame, increasing it by 1. On use, it will increase the Evade Window Bonus Frames by an additional 2 for during the next 15 seconds.
The Gossamer Heart is an incredible resource that pairs greatly with the Invader archetype and the Quantum Memory amulet players found earlier in the dungeon. For players looking for a "Dodge Tank" build, this could be a game changer.
Detritus Foundry Third Floor & N'Erudian Reaper Boss
Return to the Greenhouse and move forward in the opposite direction to the Laboratory elevator — there will be a small detour that leads to an exterior walkway. Take that path and clear out the enemies.
Watch out for the Specter Elite that appears on the stairs leading to the third floor elevator. Remember that Specters have a one-shot skill that can obliterate players in a second.
Players will notice that this Pink Specter also has a power that causes a Crowd Control effect, so stay clear of the wormhole and avoid being ambushed by the Specter at any cost. Once players have dealt with the annoying Elite, they should take the elevator ahead to reach the third and final floor of the dungeon and face the N'Erudian Reaper Boss.
How To Beat N'Erudian Reaper Boss
Facing the N'Erudian Reaper can be quite a challenge, so make sure to steer close to the middle section of the arena. If players haven't fought against the Astral Harvester Hidden Boss, this one performs more or less the same attacks. But, as with the Pink Specter players fought before, this boss can use an annoying crowd control that functions like a spider web — touching it will cause shock damage and slow down players.
Players can use the Alchemist Elixir of Life skill to endure the assault of the N'Erudian Reaper without too many issues. Elixir of Life also automatically revives players affected by its effect, so it's a great tool for those facing it Solo.
After knitting a web in the shape of a pentagram, the Reaper will jump in the middle of the arena, so make sure you have enough mitigation to endure its assault. Once players deal enough damage, the boss will start jumping around faster, phasing between sections and knitting the web trap at very high speeds. Aim for the specter popping up in the head of the possessed Harvester to deal critical damage, and after a few shots, it will be cooked.
Once players defeat the N'Erudian Reaper, it will drop the Replication Pod, which can be used to craft the Harvester Bots Weapon Mod.
Don't forget to pick up the chest that contains random loot and Scrap near the exit, then go ahead to find the exit of the Detritus Forge, along with a new sub-section of the Agronomy Sector that leads to an elevator, where you will find a huge Glowing Romboid object. Shoot it and prepare to be questioned by Alepsis Taura. Once players deal with it, they'll be ready to enter the Withered Necropolis area.
