If you’re new to Remnant or perhaps a returning player with a poor memory, Remnant: From The Ashes features a uniquely exciting and rewarding mechanic with alternative kill options for bosses. Many of the bosses in the game can be finished off under special circumstances. This usually offers a different reward for those patient and skilled enough to discover the alt kill method, making it very worthwhile.

Remnant: From The Ashes Unclean One Alt Kill Guide
You find The Unclean One in the Swamps of Corsus. It’s a random boss spawn so you will not find it every single time you play the map. Once you are lucky enough to come across The Unclean One, the alternative kill is actually very simple. When you enter The Unclean One’s large shack, don’t sprint and don’t approach the boss. Instead, turn right and run down some stairs. Down the stairs are a number of pots, choose the left pot in the middle of the room and sit inside. After about 10-15 seconds, the screen will go black and The Unclean One will appear downstairs. From there, simply finish him off to complete the alt kill.

When you kill The Unclean One in this form he drops a Hammerhead’s Ore. You can trade this back at base for a Butcher’s Flail melee weapon. It’s mod ability is a Corrosive Strike. It has, by default, a 36% chance to applying Corroded effect to an enemy it hits. If applied, it reduces the enemies defense by 15% for 10 seconds. If you use a Charged Attack, the chance of causing Corroded soars to 100%. Making it a very viable melee weapon against enemies with higher defensive abilities.
