The Remnant series answers an age-old question, that being, how much easier would a Soulslike be if you had guns? The answer is not much, as the games are still incredibly demanding. With that in mind, don't expect Remnant 2's final boss to go easy on you or to stay down. 

The aptly named Annihilation is a multiversal world-ending threat that takes a long time to defeat thanks to its large health pool and devastating attacks. Here's what your reaction will be after you've "finished it off" for the first time. 

"Yes, I finally did it! I finished the game. Wait a minute, what's it doing? Oh no, don't tell me there's more." 

Yes, just after your victory, Annihilation hits you with an even crazier second phase that transports you to a fresh battlefield with new, exhausting attack patterns to learn. You also switch back into the first phase every so often, so don't forget those attack patterns either - as if this wasn't hard enough already.
