What to do with the Severed Hand in Remnant 2

As you work your way through the multiple challenging and mysterious biomes in Remnant 2, you’ll discover a wide variety of important items that will find their way into your inventory. Most of these are used to solve puzzles, open doors, or otherwise engage with the game world in some way. But if you’ve come across the Severed Hand and wondered why you haven’t found a use for it yet, there’s a good reason for that. We’ll share what to do with the Severed Hand below.

What to do with the Severed Hand in Remnant 2

When you’re trudging through The Great Sewer, you may come across the Severed Hand, which you can shoot down from a cage hanging high above you. But as you continue your journey through the dank underground section of Losomn, you’ll find that this item seemingly has no use to you at all. This is because it’s not actually a puzzle or key at all – it’s just meant to be examined. By opening up your inventory and inspecting the Severed Hand, you’ll be able to interact with the ring on its finger to receive one of two different rings. Which one you get is randomized on each playthrough, so you will obviously need to find the Severed Hand multiple times to get them both, which you can do by rerolling Losomn at the World Stone.

The two rings you can receive are:

  • Ring of the Damned – Increases your damage by 10% while gray health is present.
  • Strong Arm Band – Increases your throw distance by 30 and improves combat consumables effectiveness by 0.5%.

Regardless of which item you get, though, isn’t it just nice not to be carrying around a hand anymore?

The PS5 is finally on sale for Prime Big Deal Days. Now’s the right time to buy it

Despite the fact that we're four years into this current console generation, PS5 discounts have been as slim as its recent redesign. You'll hardly ever find Sony's console for less than its launch day price. Even when the PS5 Pro was announced, Sony opted to keep the base model's price the same. That's finally changed. As part of Amazon's Prime Big Deals Day, the PS5 Digital Edition just got a big price cut. Regularly $450, it's on sale for $400 through most major retailers, but has been bouncing a bit lower (it's currently $395 at the time of writing).

You may be wondering if this is the right moment to buy a PS5. After all, its $700 Pro model is slated to launch next month. I'd argue that this is the exact moment to buy a base model, though.

How to kill the Nord Mines dragon in Metaphor: ReFantazio (and why you should)
The main character in an anime cutscene for Metaphor: ReFantazio.

The opening hours of Metaphor: ReFantazio sends you to a variety of unique places as you're introduced to its interesting world and gameplay design. After the game's initial segments play out, you'll soon find yourself exploring your first main dungeon — a place known as the Nord Mines. This lengthy dungeon stretches on for an hour or so and includes another fight against a human boss. But right as you're getting ready to reach the end of the mines, you'll stumble across a room with a sleeping dragon where your team decides it might be smarter to sneak around it and avoid combat.

Because of the way the game pushes you toward stealth in this room, you may be convinced that waking and fighting the dragon is a really bad idea. However, you might be surprised to hear that the dragon actually isn't that difficult to defeat, and doing so can earn you an extremely powerful weapon. Let's take a look at what you need to know about the Nord Mines dragon.
How to kill the Nord Mines dragon (and why you should)
When you reach the room with the sleeping dragon in Nord Mines, you can choose to stealth around the outer rim of the area or face the dragon by approaching it. We'd recommend you approach and fight the dragon, as defeating it isn't as difficult as the game hints it'll be.
