Remnant 2: How to Farm Root Ganglia

The Root have copied everything from humans – from blades to guns. They’ve even seeped into the human mind and copied whatever they saw there – creating a part flesh, part deadwood object that resembles the human root ganglia.

Root Ganglia is a repulsive crafting material in Remnant 2. Even though it may not be moving, it still feels like it's alive. Nobody would want to touch this disgusting item, but it’s quite useful for crafting special weapon mods. Players who are wondering where to get their hands on the Root Ganglia can learn how to get it using this guide.

How to Get Root Ganglia in Remnant 2

If they’re just starting out in Remnant 2, it’s advisable that players don’t skip the tutorial. The ‘prologue’ of the game is where the nameless traveler begins their journey in a location called Eastport.

While they’re in Eastport, players will surely find the Root Mantis – a boss that drops Root Ganglia when killed. It’s a one-time drop and the only way to get Root Ganglia in Remnant 2.

It’s relatively easy to kill the Root Mantis, and this boss fight allows players to familiarize themselves with the combat mechanics (dodging, gun switching, etc) in Remnant 2. The Root Mantis has a ‘weak spot,’ which is the visible part of its core. Once killed, it drops the Root Ganglia, which players can use to craft a special weapon mod – for free.

Right after the prologue ends, players get access to Ward 13, a safe home for the survivors, and can meet a merchant named Ava McCabe. They can ask her to craft one of the four mods mentioned below:

Healing Shot – Launches an explosive payload that can heal 30% Max Health of the player’s allies.
Hot Shot – Increases Ranged damage by 15% for 20 seconds and imbues ammo with ‘FIRE.’
Scrap Shot – Shoots a Caltrops grenade that can cover an area of 6 meters when it explodes. Deals 20 damage per second and lasts for 10 seconds.
Concussive Shot – Fires a blast of air focused on all enemies within 8 meters. Deals 155 damage and 5x impact.

Players can select whichever mod they think would work best for their playstyle.

Even though Root Ganglia is only available in the tutorial, players don’t need to stress if they can’t find this gross item again. If they think they’ve made the wrong choice, they can simply purchase the remaining mods from McCabe for 1,500 Scrap.
