Remnant 2 features several classes called Archetypes that will heavily influence your playstyle. While you can access four classes at the start of the game, there are actually ten Archetypes you can use during your playthrough. Among them is the Explorer Archetype, which allows you to basically become a treasure hunter.
Remnant 2 Explorer Archetype Guide
You can unlock the Explorer Archetype by beating the final boss and completing the main story. After killing the Annihilation in Root Earth, you will obtain several valuable loots, and among them is the Broken Compass. Once the end credit is finished, you will be teleported back to Ward 13 when reloading the game, and you can use this chance to visit Wallace on the dock.
Besides upgrading your Relic Charge, the mysterious man can help you unlock other Archetypes in the game. To access the Explorer Archetype, you must craft the Golden Compass Engram, which requires the Broken Compass, 10 Lumenite Crystals, and 1,000 Scraps.
You can easily acquire Scraps by killing monsters and opening treasure chests on your adventure. On the other hand, you can only get Lumenite Crystals by beating Elite Enemies, such as Elite Golems in the Labyrinth. Once you’ve crafted the Golden Compass, you can change your class by equipping the Engram from the Archetype page in the menu screen.
