Rogue Legacy 2 features a brand-new art style, modifiers that affect difficulty, many new traits, and some deviously hidden challenges. Outside of the Citadel, several biomes are home to new enemies and boss encounters. The manor itself is also home to new secrets, and this guide will break down the Scars of Erebus and what they do.
Unlocking the Scars of Erebus
The Scars of Erebus are a set of hidden challenges that can be completed and repeated for high scores. Unlike the Citadel, these are set challenges that RNG has no part in. These challenges are located in the hub, above the blacksmith and enchantress. The Drift House will not open until you beat your first boss. Challenge Estuary Lamech in the Citadel to open this new location permanently.
Scars of Erebus secrets
Each Scar is a different challenge, complete with its own unlocks and victory conditions. These set challenges will either be combat-focused or time-restricted. Finding emphatic connections in the Citadel and beyond will grant passive benefits inside the Scars of Erebus challenges. Each Scar is hidden unless revealed with a clue, but this table below will detail each Scar and how to unlock them.
