• Wait for it to go to a spot that looks like a dangerous drop, then go through it. After a bit, you'll land on a new stone pathway. Follow it and check out the final area on the right to find a big, corrupted gate to a new area. Make sure you've got all your items equipped, then use the Biome Portal Key on the gate and step through it.

• When you enter through the door, you will be in the Backrooms zone. This maze only gives you limited time to explore, so move fast. There are various items around, but your goal is the Strange Box, tucked away in the far back left part of the area. Once you've got the Strange Box, you can take it to Wallace in Ward 13 in order to unlock the Archon.

That is how you can unlock every archetype in Remnant 2. Some of these are as easy as talking to an NPC in Ward 13, while others require extensive preparation. Hopefully this guide has helped you unlock all of the different classes, so you can further customize your playstyle.
