While you can start the game with a choice between three or four archetypes, those aren’t the only ones in the game. The rest require secret conditions to unlock but don’t take all that long once you know the steps. The hardest part is always getting the right world pieces to spawn. You’ll need to take yourself to the Dran section of Losomn for the Alchemist archetype.
How to Get the Alchemist Archetype
Of all the secret archetypes (Invader, Explorer), the Alchemist is the easiest to earn. Whereas the others require beating the game’s final boss or visiting two different worlds, all of the Alchemist’s steps are in Losomn.
While it doesn’t matter if you spawn in the Dran or Fae sections of Losomn, to make this easier, reroll your adventure mode until it’s definitely the Dran side. Once you’ve spawned in, you aren’t looking for teleport gates. All you need to find is one of the big sewage drains that look big enough to fit you through.
Crouch or stand next to one of these for a brief moment, and a cutscene will play in which you get grabbed by a monster and taken away.
Note that if this happens in co-op, the player who didn’t get grabbed will have to die. The monster event won’t repeat, and using the checkpoint will respawn the player who got grabbed without taking you to the next part.
After you both die (or just you, if solo), you’ll wake up on a pile of bones in a different area.
The monster that grabbed you is nearby, and you’ll have to fight it. As it’s not technically even a miniboss, it shouldn’t pose too much of a challenge.
For defeating this enemy, you are awarded the Mysterious Stone.
Take this back to Wallace in Ward 13 and change it (with 10 Lumenite Crystals and 1,000 Scrap) for the Philosopher’s Stone Engram. You can now slot this engram into your primary or secondary archetype slot to turn you into the Alchemist.
As with all of these secret archetypes, once you unlock them, they are available to choose when you start a new character.

If you’re hunting down new strategies for adventure mode, the Alchemist is certainly different from the other archetypes. For more Remnant 2 Archetype guides and general help, have a look at our links below.
