Unlocking Chamber of the Faithless: Paper Heart Guide

In the haunting expanses of Remnant 2’s The Awakened King DLC, the Chamber of the Faithless stands as a pivotal location brimming with exclusive loot and challenging encounters. This guide delves into the mechanics of accessing this area, securing the coveted **Paper Heart relic**, and understanding the interconnected quests involving the NPC Leywise. Players must make critical choices that lock out certain rewards, adding layers of replayability to the DLC’s procedural worlds.

Navigating Losomn’s Forlorn Coast to the Palace

The journey to the Chamber of the Faithless begins in the fog-shrouded regions of Losomn, specifically the Forlorn Coast. Procedural generation means paths can vary, but key landmarks guide the way. Start from the initial checkpoint and push through the Great Sewers, where the Bloat King miniboss lurks. Defeating this foe opens routes to the Drowned Wen and eventually the Mournful Promenade.

A ruined bridge forces a descent via ladder along the cliffside, leading to palace ruins patrolled by elite enemies like the Nobleman. In a secluded back alley or square within these ruins, a distinctive red glow signals the **Misplaced Memoir**—the quest item central to unlocking multiple rewards. Collect it promptly, as it ties into decisions that affect your run.

• Explore docks and procedural mini-zones en route to avoid missing side paths.
• Clear elite enemies to access hidden areas safely.
• Mark checkpoints for quick retries during tough sections.

Leywise: The Royal Scribe and His Dilemmas

Leywise, the former Royal Scribe, resides in the initial sewers area near the Forlorn Coast’s starting point. A large wooden door in the palace yards loops back to him, allowing interaction once the Misplaced Memoir is obtained. This NPC presents a branching questline with mutually exclusive outcomes, forcing players to prioritize gear types.

Options include:

• Handing over the Misplaced Memoir directly for the **Index of the Scribe amulet**, boosting mod and skill weak spot damage by 35%—ideal for mod-heavy builds.
• Inspecting the Memoir in inventory (right-click to open the flap) to extract the **Bookbound Medallion**, which consumes the Memoir but enables door unlocks elsewhere.

Choosing the Medallion path forfeits the amulet but unlocks relic and ring potential, emphasizing strategic planning across Adventure Mode rerolls.

Acquiring the Bookbound Medallion

To target the Paper Heart, inspect the Misplaced Memoir in your inventory. Rotate it to reveal the interaction prompt, then activate to reveal the Bookbound Medallion hidden within. This item serves as a key for a specific locked door but comes at the cost of Leywise’s amulet reward.

With the Medallion secured, proceed toward the Palace of the One True King. The path winds through ominous corridors, building tension before the Chamber’s reveal.

Step-by-Step: Opening the Chamber of the Faithless Door

Reach the Chamber of the Faithless checkpoint, an alternate version of the Council Tribunal where the One True King awaits in his awakened state. Corpses of the Council litter the seats; shooting them randomly yields the **Cost of Betrayal amulet**.

From the checkpoint, veer right into a corridor ending at an ornate, locked door—the entrance to the Scribe’s Room. Insert the Bookbound Medallion to unseal it, granting access to Leywise’s former library domain.

1. Confirm Medallion in inventory.
2. Locate right-side path post-checkpoint.
3. Interact with door prompt.
4. Enter and claim rewards inside.

Warning: Using the Medallion here locks out the **Burden of the Sciolist ring** (given to Leywise instead) and **Ring of Infinite Damage**, plus the Index amulet. Reroll worlds for full collection.

Claiming the Paper Heart Relic

Inside the Scribe’s Room lies the **Paper Heart relic**, a game-changer for survival. Activate it to heal up to 100% of current health, making it invaluable during boss rushes or low-health scraps. Its fragile, lore-infused design ties into the DLC’s themes of betrayal and forgotten loyalties.

Equip it via the relics menu post-acquisition. Pair with health-scaling builds for maximum efficacy, especially in co-op where coordinated heals shine.

Battling the One True King in the Council Chamber

With the relic in hand, advance to the Council Chamber for the climactic showdown against **The One True King**. This boss occupies the throne in a transformed arena, demanding precise dodging and weakspot exploitation.

Post-victory, choices ripple outward:

• If Gilded Chambers appears, collect 3 Crimson King Coins and offer them to the Red Prince to crown him, altering Losomn’s storyline.
• Defeating the King completes key DLC arcs, unlocking further adventures.

Tactics include prioritizing adds, using environmental covers, and leveraging the Paper Heart for sustain.

Alternative Rewards and Trade-Offs

Leywise’s quest enforces scarcity:

Reroll via Adventure Mode to gather all, focusing on preferred playstyles per run.

Procedural Generation and Reroll Strategies

Remnant 2’s worlds randomize layouts, so Misplaced Memoir spots or dungeon sequences may shift. Prioritize exploration in palace-adjacent areas. Use Adventure Mode for targeted farming without base-game risk.

• Track world rolls for Gilded Chambers integration.
• Co-op accelerates clears and loot hunts.
• Backup saves aren’t viable; embrace RNG.

Integrating Paper Heart into Builds

The relic’s full-heal potential synergizes with high-risk archetypes like Ritualist (unlocked in dockyards). Combine with weakspot mods for hybrid damage/heal loops. In endgame, it sustains through NG+ escalations.

Common Pitfalls and Pro Tips

Avoid premature Memoir inspection if amulet-focused. Clear Council corpses methodically for amulet drops. Save Medallion for intended use to prevent lockouts.

• Pro Tip: Scout right corridors early post-checkpoint.
• Pitfall: Forgetting procedural variances delays Memoir.
