Remnant 2, a sequel to Remnant: From the Ashes, is an action-packed shooter game. Players can take down enemies, including bosses, using various weapons, including guns, and melee weapons. It goes without saying that, like any other survival game, getting your hands on better and more powerful weapons can increase the odds of successfully slaying enemies. As the game requires players to engage in both closed and ranged battles, they need to make sure they've got a variety of weapons up their sleeve.

Melee weapons are beneficial in terms of closed-range combat. One of the best melee weapons in Remnant 2 is the Spectral Blade. It is a large-edged sword that holds immense power. The Spectral Blade creates a whirlwind of slashes which damages all enemies within a range of 8 meters. Keep reading this guide to learn how you can get your hands on this weapon in Remnant 2.

How to Get Spectral Blade

Remnant 2 - Close Up On Technician Set In N'Erud

The Spectral Blade is a powerful weapon with a sharp edge. While the base level damage of this blade is 53, players can increase its damage to 106 by upgrading it. Additionally, it also enhances the critical hit chance by 8%. With this blade, attacks on enemies' weak spots result in 105% more damage.

Since it is a special weapon, players have to defeat a boss to obtain the required items to craft it. To get the materials needed, players will have to defeat Sha’Hala, who is the Sectral Guardian of N’Erud. He is one of the ultimate enemies in the game and is located in the Sentinel’s Keep. However, this place cannot be accessed directly and requires the Seeker’s Key. Obtain the keys and open up the gate to access the Sentinel’s Keep.

By doing so, players begin the fight with Sha’Hala. He is a strong enemy and defeating is not easy. Luckily, he has a weak spot too. Aim at the large orb in his hand to inflict more damage. While attacking, make sure to avoid all the counter-attacks by him. Once Sha’Hala has been successfully defeated, players get rewards. Reward items include Eidolon Shard, Lumenite Crystals, and Scraps. Eidolon Shard is an exceptionally unique item that is required to craft the Spectral Blade. When the player has successfully obtained it, visit McCabe at Ward 13.
