Mastering Remnant 2‘s Postulant Parlor
A Pro Gamer‘s Comprehensive Guide
As a long-time hardcore gamer and content creator, I‘ve conquered Remnant 2 inside and out. The Postulant‘s Parlor stands as one of the most unique and rewarding zones with its grid-based layout and tic tac toe puzzles.
New players often struggle navigating the area and locating all its lucrative collectibles in an efficient route. In this expanded guide, I‘ll leverage my expertise to help master the Parlor and collect gear to dominate future battles.
Demystifying A Maze-Like Layout
The Parlor features 9 interconnected rooms arranged in a 3×3 grid, flanked by smaller side chambers. The central chamber guards the way forward, locked until besting its inhabitant in games of skill…
Here‘s a map I created showing the confusing layout:
Rooms marked with a star hold fixed gear locations – the rest contain random spawns.
As you can see, it forms an intricate maze that‘s easily gotten lost in. But the puzzles provide the keys to navigation if understood properly.
Solving Tic Tac Toe To Open Doors
Within the central room lurks the Postulant himself, obsessed with infinite games of tic tac toe. Beat him, and he grudgingly grants passage deeper inward.
I advise prioritizing defensive moves over aggression when battling his cunning intelligence:
O | X | O
-----------
O | |
-----------
| | X Block his angles of 3 whenever possible, content with draws to bide your time. Apply patience in your strategy.
Each loss curses you further, upping incoming damage for a short duration. But the true prize hides behind the spectral ghost…
Victorious yields access to the Royal Hunting Bow within the back chamber!
Truly a kingly weapon for those favoring expert aim and high DPS.
Yet the remaining rooms sit maddeningly out of reach. Their doors sealed until granted entry through the taboo of surrender…
Opening All Doors via Tic Tac Toe Manipulation
Here‘s where mastery of the Parlor‘s puzzle mechanic comes into play. The current board state reflects rooms accessibility if aligned properly.
By mirroring specific locations, you can shift access systematically.
For example, occupying the upper left corner grants its room entry. Place pieces strategically without actually winning or losing the overall match.
Keep your opponent blocked as you plot moves. Then exit and enter the chamber newly unlocked before he breaks your configuration.
It takes advanced spatial visualization and positioning skills. With practice however, gamers can direct the flow into their desired destinations reliably.
Rooms reveal additional arms and gear to elevate your battle capabilities substantially if fully explored. Let‘s examine thePostulant Parlor‘s most coveted collectibles and where veterans know to uncover them…
Rare and Powerful Gear Locations
While certain weapons and mods spawn randomly according to procedural generation, several choice armaments maintain static locations for those in the know.

- Head: 158 Armor, 58 Weight
- Body: 572 Armor, 27 Weight

Balancing defense, mobility, and recovery speed well for various playstyles.

Royal Hunting Bow – dropped from the Postulant himself, it‘s unmatched for weak point DPS and precision:

And likely other secrets I‘ve yet to uncover myself…the Parlor eternally confounds with changing configurations.
