I personally dont think using starting equipment to shoot "Breakable Objects" in order to unlock Summoner and progress through the Cube Maze disqualifies the run. The only thing dealing damage to enemies were your summons. Either way, sick to see a video like this so soon after release, and i can't wait to see any other challenge runs of Remnant 2 you do.

Engi turret, summoners root, and the handler dog are considered summons and scale with skill damage.

The “melee attack” doesn’t deal damage, you just wave the stick around her head and get the item to enter her dreams, you can also kill both her and her dream it doesn’t lock you out of getting the one kill or the other. So yeah can can totally get the summon mod but it isn’t as good as you think it is it requires you aim at the enemy you want it to and I can only affect one enemy.

"Nice Shooting, Doesnt count btw" _The A.I Partner justifying why her own Summons Only Run should continue._

Sidenote: *_This Major Story Mechanic! Being able to Re-Roll the Campaign World. Slap that on Baulders Gate 4 and you'd have my new dream video game!_*

Hey Spud, great work, you did what I originally planned to, but gave up on. And that's not even mentioning the video. This is great, I loved it. Im not currently in a monetary situation where any excess spendings are a no, but I would if I could. You are a great content creator, and its great to follow your challenge runs and lurking in the discord. Thank you for this video as well, its always a pleasure watching your videos.

15:27 Yes the turrets is a summon if you ask the game so all summon rings and amulets is for the turrets to.

“I’m dense” … I felt that 😅🥲 stupid puzzles 😵‍💫

I know a good man when i hear one, and when you did your speech at the end, I heard one. Thanks for the vid my man. 👍

Just incase noone else says it, solid Steven Universe reference.

3:58 Had that happen with the Reaver minion. Was wondering where my minion was while I was getting my ass beat and then that enemy came around a corner with the Reaver just poking out the top lmao

I want to point out you could have gotten the summon from the huntress because you don't hit her with a melee weapon but you do use it for stealing her dream and then fighting her in her dream

I have done almost everything in the game and didn't know that Rugged trait boss existed...

Best thing for Huntress, the "melee attack" doesn't damage her in the slightest, unless you are too far back and run ram into her

So... fun fact: Zone difficulty primarily scales with weapon power. There is a minimum level for each zone depending on where it is found in a playthrough, but beyond that it is literally your power level +1 and your power level is basically the average level between your archetype levels and your weapon levels. With you never using or upgrading any weapons, your power level was significantly lower than one could reasonably expect from your playtime, allowing you to face Annihilation at its minimum world level of 14 whilst having a full build.

Tbh for the huntress summon u kinda just wave the weapon above her head u don’t really attack her.

0:55 is my favorite part hands down.

And at least unlike Nightmare you can actually effectively damage Annihilation with the summons.

I use Leto’s armor plus the letos amulet (you literally have to belly flop 100 times with heavy armor and then someone sells it at the hub), and with the pair I have a light roll

As some one who also beat the game as a summoner. I must regrettably inform you that Nano swarm is not a summon by the games definition. If it was you would get a boost from soul anchor or soul guard when you cast it, but you do not. As far as I know the Summons are summoner skills, Handler's dog, engi's turret but only in turret mode, Root Lash, Familiar, Far Gazer and Space Crabs. There is no limit to the number of summons you can get from mods. The only limit is the mod duration and how fast you can generate mod power. Far Gazer is also really good as it allows you to deal damage by aiming your gun but not shooting it. Most enemies are affected by the madness debuff and madness deals no damage to summoner minions but still enrages them. The down side is Im not sure if you can beat the Legion boss with minions. As for the Familiar, taking a dream with dream catcher deals no damage.

I feel like final form beef chadwick looks like a member of the Enclave.

For my solo apocalypse attempt I dreaded The Cube arena more than I dreaded Annihilation. The Cube demands your respect.

You are doing great man, keep up these videos

Please do melee only now theres a ton of melees that are ranged so it possible

I'm playing as handler I've seen the dog glitch through the ground a couple of times but it always teleported back to when it did that

I have been hoping for some remnant 2 challenge runs. Thank you!!!

man there's a lot I haven't experienced yet and I've got 50 hours in so far

Watched for the challenge, subbed for the wholesome ending.

can't wait for the return of Margret

New sub for sure, loved this.

I bet that update buffing summons would be handy 😅

Beef Chadwick III is my hero!

About the bugs in my 100hour playthrough I have not seen a single game breaking bug I did encounter some small visual bugs but nothing that broke the game for me

Oh you spoil me! Gotta love Spuddy on a Friday

I was wondering if you could do a melee only run, it technically is possible with the huntress melee weapon

You can can use the Leto mk2 armor with the bright steel ring to completly ignore encumbrance.

10:58 unfortunately. Nebula’s weapon mod is not a summon. It won’t proc summon related items like soul anchor or soul guard.

The turret does count as a summon, but nano swarm does not.

BRO I JUST WATCHED YOUR FIRST ONE LAST NIGHT

Just a heads up. Grime looks amazing and combat doesn't feel half bad, but it's enemies and level design are obnoxious

That was so fast bro! Can't wait to watch this soon just gotta get off work and all that. To bad they just gave the doggo more health in the new patch ehh?

ill say this now the bugs in this game although can be annoying but this game is still great

Beating the game once would unlock the Explorer, his sword got a ranged attack that has the possibility to beat the game with only melee if you ever plan that

can easily do this with handler/engineer, engineer/summoner, handler/summomer. engineer turret counts as a summon, and can be used to auto target on its own, or held as a mini gun. and given that you *summon* it, it would still count.

another banger of a video.

I mean there’s a ring that breaks summons making them do infinite damage but I don’t think that would follow your rules for the run

Mad respect for that 💪🏻

16:00 if only there were some sort of easily available consumable that removed root rot.

This video is right on time 👍👍👍

Unlucky man for the bugs. I played since day one early access and had none of the issues you had

Nice one!

Considering summoner needs wisps I'm gonna say it's a big no

Would you look at that he did the thing

Mmmm... remnant 2 already? You spoil me

hey for the cube boss I died well over 20 times b/c the cube rolled back on me or b/c I miss the glowing spot and died b/c I wasn't paying attention

Good video

Im ngl i thought youd actually be yknow using the SUMMONER class for a summon only run…

I got Root nexus on my very first run 🤣

You could’ve just started as summoned

Great video. Quick question, what starting area in yaesha lead you to the forgotten fields (place where you got the rugged perk)? I can't that place even after 30 hours

Now do it without weapons

Remnant is more of a “which areas can you complete with summons only.” Also I wish the classes had a bit more to them. Such as the summon class can give evolutions to the dog that can make it do things like fly, add burn when it bites, etc.

Bad run, L + Ratio + summons bad + you smell

bruh u should have rerol till get the forest area and u uold have got easy summoner.....

it's NATHAN, not josh

Seems like a lot of builds copying your final build are popping up on youtube and stuff as broken whilst giving you zero credit :( sad to see

Yes this game is pretty buggy, yes it works like shit and it crashes from time to time and for me that's enough to completely burn me out of it after finishing campaign and two adventures

Good video, but it would be better on mute

The cube is not a bad mandatory boss , the game gives you everything you need to beat it the seconed you boot the game up. Its not bad fight because you decided to hinder youself thats 100% on you
