Remnant 2 Shrewd Strategies
The boss has 3 raised platforms around the arena with a large tree in the middle. He will alternate between being on these raised platforms and engaging in melee. While he is on the platforms, he has two main attacks, the first is an explosive arrow and the second is a quick flurry. Both can be avoided by dodging. Timing the roll correctly allows for plenty of time to deal damage. When he engages in melee, avoid him as this is where most of your damage will be from. Every once in a while, seeds will drop off the tree in the center, destroy them before they hatch into ads, you cannot damage the boss during this phase so focus all damage on the pods.

Remnant 2 Shrewd Notes & Trivia and Gallery
- Shrewd's name is a nod to a similar boss in From the Ashes named "Shroud" that behaved very similarly
AnonymousI laughed so hard when I saw this guy's name pop up.
It made me wish they had a reference to the other early Earth boss from Remnant 1.

Found him in an adventure mode, he died on a ledge. He seemed to drop a simulacrum that I was unable to get to. Reloading the area made the loot dissappear.

This guy is so much easier than in Remnant 1. Def not because of a better arena
Did they change this bosses behavior? Used to be able to hide behind tree while he shoots at you. Just ran an apoc run in this new dlc and got this guy, everytime i broke Line of sight he teleported to me and went straight to his melee combo. Not that i hate it, fight was actually easier since i was running close range weapons but this was new boss behavior for me
