While playing Remnant 2, you get to choose your first Archetype by talking to Wallace after you’ve introduced yourself to the Ward 13 chief. These Archetypes are like classes that provide you with special buffs, and Wallace also mentions that you can change them anytime on your journey.
Thankfully, the game doesn’t have any penalty or cost for changing your Archetype and you can even have two of them at the same time. Alchemist is one of the secret classes that can only be unlocked by getting into a specific area and serving yourself to the demons.
How To Unlock Alchemist Archetype
Technically, you can unlock the Alchemist Archetype quite early in the game since you only have to get to the Losomn area. This is one of the three randomized worlds that can appear in the first, third, or fourth position during a Campaign. Although, if you don’t get it as your first world, you can simply reroll your Campaign until you do.
Once you’re in Losomn, you’ll have to get to the village area where you fight human enemies that are acting off. Depending on the storyline you get, it can take you a bit of time to get there. In this village part, you’ll find numerous sewage caves that are completely dark, as shown in the picture above.
These caves will have iron right in front of them to lure you nearby sometimes.
As you get close, there’s a chance that an enemy will come out of the cave and drag you inside. This will play an animation that looks like your character is dead, but you’ll spawn in a new area after a few seconds. As you move around in this area, the same enemy will come out of one of the drains and start attacking you.
After defeating this enemy, you’ll get a pink-purple item called Mysterious Stone. This can be taken to Wallace and he’ll unlock the Alchemist Archetype in exchange for some Scrap and Lumenite Crystals. Once unlocked, you can equip this Archetype from your character information screen at any point.
