Instead, you will need to reach the Yaesha biome, where you will find the Bloodmoon Altar. then you will have to Collect 15 Blood Moon Essences so you can purchase the Faded Grimoire.

If you unlock the remnant 2 Summoner class during your initial game, then can be selected later if you create a new character. As for his initial loadout, these items were all in my main character’s inventory when I made an alternate just to check the Summoner’s gear. It’s also worth noting that the crossbow is the reward from the Imperial Gardens puzzle.

The abilities of the Summoner archetype in remnant 2 involve the root minions. Pressing the ability button spawns the creature, which also costs a bit of HP. Meanwhile, holding down the ability button sacrifices the creature, dealing damage to your enemies, along with other effects like reducing the cooldown based on that minion’s remaining health.

Minion: Hollow

• To unlock: Available by default.
• Minion Action: Rolls across the ground dealing melee damage; maximum of two Slots.
• Sacrifice Effect: Explodes for 150 damage within five meters.

Unfortunately, the Summoner archetype has minions with terrible AI, like they just don’t plan on surviving too long. Based on experience, I’ve noticed that they tend to attack hostiles easily, causing them to take a lot of damage. They need a lot of help from you or your teammates if you want them to stay.

Also, creatures will drain your HP, so you’ll have to spend a relic charge or rely on a healer. Interacting with a Worldstone will make them disappear, so you can’t get free heals and keep them at the same time. At the very least, I suggest buying the Soul Anchor amulet from the Bloodmoon Altar. Grants +20% damage for 30 seconds after spawning a minion.

Summoner Core Perk

Primary Perk: Ruthless — Dealing damage to a minion causes it to enrage, granting +30% increased damage, attack speed, and movement speed; lasts 20 seconds.

I definitely had to shoot my Root minions multiple times just to give them the enrage buff, but I was also careful not to reduce their HP too much. The enrage perk causes them to deal more damage to opponents, so they can take out as many as possible before they are killed or sacrificed as well. Also, don’t forget that each class’s Prime Perk can only stay active if it’s your main archetype (ie the one on the left of the panel when you “equip” a class).
