Remnant 2: The Awakened King – Leywise And Chamber Of The Faithless Door Guide

Navigating the Leywise quest chain in Remnant 2: The Awakened King presents a critical decision point that affects your character progression. This comprehensive guide breaks down the strategic implications of each reward path to help you make informed decisions based on your playstyle and build requirements.

The Misplaced Memoir serves as the central quest item with multiple resolution options, each yielding distinct equipment pieces with specialized combat applications. Understanding the trade-offs between these rewards is essential for optimizing your loadout across multiple playthroughs.

Strategic Insight: Each reward caters to different combat approaches – the amulet enhances precision damage, the ring boosts general mod/skill performance at an ammo cost, while the relic offers unique healing mechanics with strategic depth.

Your initial encounter with Leywise occurs during the early stages of your DLC adventure. Upon arriving at the Forlorn Coast starting area, descend into the initial sewer network adjacent to the docks to locate this exiled scribe.

Leywise provides narrative context about his background while offering several merchant services. His inventory includes the Atonement Fold ring, which applies bleeding to your character while simultaneously increasing critical hit chance by 10% – a valuable item for specific bleed-focused builds.

Leywise can be found in the sewers near the Forlorn Coast entrance/fast travel point.

Navigation Tip: Multiple sewer access points exist throughout the Forlorn Coast, but the initial encounter near the spawn point provides the most straightforward access for subsequent returns.

The Misplaced Memoir typically appears in later DLC progression zones. During our exploration, we located this critical quest item within the palace ruins area, specifically in a back alley courtyard accessible after navigating past the main palace entrance.

We found the Misplaced Memoir much later after we had explored most of the Forlorn Coast.

Procedural Generation Consideration: While the exact location may vary due to Remnant 2’s procedural generation, the general progression pattern remains consistent:

• Begin at the Forlorn Coast initial area and progress through the Great Sewers dungeon, defeating the Bloat King miniboss to advance
• Navigate through the Drowned Wen sub-zone, passing the dockyards area where players can unlock the Ritualist class
• Reach the Mournful Promenade and locate the damaged bridge leading toward the palace
• Descend via ladder systems that wrap around cliffside terrain to reach checkpoint areas
• Clear the palace courtyard of Nobleman elite enemies to access the glowing quest item

Common Mistake: Many players overlook the ladder descent option when encountering the broken bridge, assuming the path is blocked permanently.

Acquiring the Index of the Scribe represents the most straightforward reward path. Once you possess the Misplaced Memoir, retrace your steps to Leywise’s initial sewer location. Look for large wooden doors in the palace yards that provide direct access back to the sewer network.

Present the quest item directly to Leywise to receive this specialized amulet. The Index of the Scribe provides a substantial 35% damage increase to weak spot hits from both mod abilities and character skills.

Build Optimization: This amulet excels with precision-focused builds utilizing weapons with inherent weak spot multipliers or characters specializing in skill-based damage amplification.

To obtain the Burden of the Sciolist, you must forego the direct reward path. Instead of handing the Misplaced Memoir to Leywise, access your inventory and inspect the tome directly. Right-click to enter inspection mode, then rotate the book until the interaction prompt becomes visible on the hidden latch mechanism.

Activate the prompt to open the book’s concealed compartment, revealing the Bookbound Medallion. This transformation consumes the original Misplaced Memoir permanently.

Strategic Trade-off: The Burden of the Sciolist imposes a 25% reduction to your total ammunition reserves while providing a 15% damage boost to both mod abilities and character skills.

Ammo Management Consideration: This ring works best with builds that minimize ammunition consumption or utilize melee/skill-focused combat approaches. Consider pairing it with ammo-efficient weapons or mods that generate their own damage sources.

The final reward option bypasses Leywise entirely and instead grants access to the Chamber of the Faithless. This area connects to the throne room where you confront the One True King boss during your DLC progression.

Upon reaching the checkpoint before the boss encounter, locate the corridor branching to the right, which leads to an elaborately decorated door requiring special access.

Select the Bookbound Medallion (left), then grab the Paper Heart relic in the small room (right).

Mechanical Complexity: The Paper Heart relic provides immediate healing up to 100% of your current health within 0.25 seconds of activation. Each 10% of health restored generates one stack, and after 15 seconds, each remaining stack removes 10% health. Eliminating enemies reduces stacks by one each.

Advanced Usage Strategy: This relic demands careful timing and enemy management. Ideal for aggressive playstyles that can secure kills during the 15-second window to mitigate the health penalty. Works exceptionally well with high-damage builds capable of rapid enemy elimination.

The Leywise questline presents a classic risk-reward scenario where your decision determines your character’s progression path. Since you cannot acquire all three rewards during a single campaign run, strategic planning across multiple Adventure Mode sessions becomes essential.

Priority Selection Framework: Base your initial choice on your current build requirements:

• Precision builds benefit most from the Index of the Scribe amulet
• Mod/skill focused characters with ammo-efficient weapons should consider the Burden of the Sciolist ring
• Aggressive playstyles capable of securing frequent kills excel with the Paper Heart relic
• Consider your playthrough stage – early game characters may prefer the amulet’s consistent damage boost
