Quick Links
InRemnant 2, the Drzyr built N’erud as a second home, but eventually abandoned it, as revealed in The Dark Horizon DLC. As you progress through the dungeons, you’ll come across Kel’Roth, a humanoid amalgamation of flesh and steel. This creature is a corrupted Drzyr that you must defeat to continue the DLC storyline.
At first, Kel’Roth fights alone, but the boss fight gets significantly harder halfway through. When Kel’Roth’s health drops to about half, it summons Amalgam Relis, and it makes the fight twice as challenging, with both enemies launching similar attack patterns and bombarding you with a variety of assaults at the same time.
Amalgam Kel’Roth And Amalgam Relis Location
You have a high chance ofencountering the Amalgam Kel’Roth and Amalgam Relisbosses if youenter the Mucid Terrarium dungeonin N’erud. However, to access this content, you’ll first need tohaveThe Dark Horizon DLC installed; without it, this area wouldn’t be available.
Since the dungeons are randomly generated, the Mucid Terrarium won’t always spawn, and it could take some time before you encounter this boss fight.To speed things up, when you first access the DLC from the World Stone in Ward 13, you canselect the “One Shot” Adventure modefor The Dark Horizon. Thisguarantees the DLC contentand increases yourchances of facing the boss duo.

Amalgam Kel’Roth and Amalgam Relis Boss Fight Strategy
You’llface Amalgam Kel’Roth and Amalgam Relison a long platformsuspended over purple liquid. The center of theplatform is circular, with exposed edges lacking metallic covers.
If you accidentallydodge roll into the purple liquid, you’lldie instantlyand have to restart the boss fight. To avoid this from happening, it’s crucial tostay aware of your positioningand dodge carefully.
Thefirst phase of the bossfightis easier, as youonly face Amalgam Kel’Roth.However, when its health drops to around50 percent,the boss submerges in the purple liquid andsummons Amalgam Relisto join the assault.
Medium to long-range weaponsare far moreeffective in this boss fightthan short-range ones, as both bosses hover and fly in and out of range frequently. With a long-range weapon, we recommend youaim for their heads, which aretheir weak spots, to deal massive damage with each hit.
When you see either boss casting theBlack Tornado or Black Wave attacks, try toreposition yourself away from the centerof the arena. These attacks willpush you slightly, and if you’re near the edge, you could fall into the purple liquid, leading to instant death.
Most of the attacks we have mentioned above can be easilydodged by rolling to the left or right. The exception is the Black Wave, where rolling into it gives you a higher chance of avoiding damage.
Make sure tobring a good supply of ‘Blood Roots’or use theMedic Archetypetoheal passively, as the constant assaults from the bosses will frequentlyleave your health low.
Focus on one boss at a timeand try to deplete their health as much as possible.Amalgam Kel’Roth is a better targetsince you’ve been attacking him from the start, so his health should be lower than Amalgam Relis. However, if you happen tokill one of the two bosses, the otherone will become aggressive.
All the attackswe have mentioned abovewill be amplified. For example, instead ofcasting one Black Tornado, the last boss standing willcast three tornadoesat a time.
We recommendnot killing one bossuntil the other’shealth is below 20 percent. Once you reach this point, finish off one boss, leaving the other with low health. Thismakes the aggressive phaseof the remaining bossmuch more manageable.
Rinse and repeat these strategies, and you should be able todefeat both bosses without much trouble. After defeating both bosses, you willget the ‘Voidlight Core’ itemin the game. Giving this item toAva McCabe in Ward 13will allow you to craft aVoidlightWeapon Modin the game.
