Greetings, fellow Remnant 2 die-hard!
As a long-time fan with over 1000 hours played, I was ecstatic when the Tranquil Heart relic was first teased prior to the Empowered update. I just had to get my hands on this exotic support tool as a main healer for my competitive squad – no matter the cost!
Well…it wasn‘t easy, friends. After multiple attempts I finally conquered the challenges barring the way to this glorious relic. And now I‘m here to make sure YOU can claim it too!
Reliving the Nightmare Run of the Tormented Asylum
Turns out the Tormented Asylum lives up to its name – barely survived my first two expeditions just attempting to REACH the Tormented Heart, let alone secure the precious Override Pin needed to access it!
Some key learnings for tackling this hellhole:
- Cryo turrets are essential for crowd control. The inmates swarm FAST once alerted!
- Anomaly resistance is mandatory. Got one-shotted multiple times by the dual firewand jackasses. Rude!
- Watch for ambushes near bathroom stalls… Nearly jumped out my chair when one exploded into five cackling freaks!
After what felt like a thousand deaths I finally snagged the Override Pin from Spectral Guardian. Some tips for that angry blob of souls:
- Time freeze abilities like Cold Snap completely shut him down temporarily.
- Stay mobile – his laser beam WILL melt you otherwise!
Now on my third cursed asylum run the Nightweaver‘s Web was in sight! Override Pin glowing brightly in my pack as I approached what I can only describe as the portal to transcendent power…
But first – loot! Despite the pain this place offered some beautifully chaotic weapons:
- Insanity (Anomaly SmG)
- Straitjacket‘s Embrace (Armor – bonus melee dmg)
- Nurse‘s Syringe (Weird artifact that buffs healing)
Alright, override activated. The webbing recoils…and the TORMENTED HEART IS MINE! Now for Nimue to work her magic~
Crafting the Ultimate Healer‘s Relic
Nimue is no ordinary forest witch – she has been an ally to Remnant slayers for generations. As expected, her sanctuary cottage overflowed with arcane tools and relics.
Approaching respectfully I inquired about purifying the Tormented Heart into its Tranquil form. She smiles knowingly…seems I‘m not the first eager fool with this request!
For the ritual Nimue required:
- Tormented Heart
- 2 Palladium Scrap
- 1 Essence Extract
Table 1 – Nimue‘s Other Noteworthy Recipes
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Anomaly Oil | Coating for weapons that converts damage to Anomaly type |
| Spiritbond Tincture | Uncanny relic that revives wearer ONCE with 50% HP/AP when downed |
| Essence Grenade | Removes debuffs from self + allies and grants 10 sec damage immunity |
Now prepared with ingredients, Nimue began her mystical song, threads of blue energy enveloping the fouled heart resting in the cauldron‘s flames…I swear time itself slowed as the spirits within were finally calmed.
As the last verse ended she lifted the newly forged TRANQUIL HEART RELIC! I finally held this legendary icon – but how strong was its healing truly?
Healing Output Analysis
Alone the Tranquil Heart provides minor HP regeneration – but its true power lies in doubling ALL healing when activated for 15 seconds! As a healer main, I had to know just how potent this effect could be pushed.
Here was my extreme experiment build:
- Weapon 1: Savior‘s Cry (leech shotgun)
- Weapon 2: Slinger‘s Mercy (healing wave rifle)
- Armor: Oracle‘s Raiment (bonus healing power)
- Amulet: pendant of Tides (bonus HP/healing)
- Rings: 2x Seal of Renewal (healing effectiveness)
With allies buffing me using Blessing of the Eternal and Circle of Vitality, here‘s the numbers seen:
Without Tranquil:
- Shotgun: 1000 heal per target hit
- Rifle: 450 HP wave
- 20 HPS (health per second) from gear
With Tranquil:
- All healing x2 (2000 heal/target, 900 HP wave, 40 HPS passive)
- Over 15 seconds =
- Shotgun potential: 30k
- Rifle: 13.5k
- Passive: 600
- Total Possible: 44.1k healing!
As expected, the bonuses stacked multiplicatively for positively massive healing numbers! No one‘s dying on MY watch :sunglasses:
Now let‘s compare to the Tormented Heart‘s output…
Tormented vs Tranquil – Crunching the Numbers
I put together a little analysis to highlight when each relic pulls ahead for support:
Key Takeaways:
- Tranquil Heart enables significantly higher healing numbers from all sources
- Tormented Heart has higher burst potential when enemies cluster together
- Tranquil‘s sustained healing is more reliable
Based on these learnings, some recommendations on usage:
Tormented Heart is best for offensive anomaly DPS able to clump targets. Weaving the AoE into rotations unlocks scary damage + healing!
Tranquil Heart truly shines for supportive healer/buffer builds, especially in drawn out fights. Doubled restoratives make teams nearly unkillable!
So in summary – yes, I WHOLEHEARTEDLY believe grinding for the Tranquil Heart is 1000% worth it specifically for healers and support mains. This relic has clinched so many narrow victories in the haunted dimensions I‘ve lost count!
Anyway, hopefully this in-depth guide from a Remnant 2 addict helps you discover the joy of keeping teammates alive at all costs. Time to pass on the torch – now GO pry that Tormented Heart from the Nightweaver‘s clutches! Your team‘s depending on you…
Let me know when you finally craft the Tranquil yourself – may it serve you well, slayer!
