To unlock Void Fiend in Risk of Rain 2, complete the Dragged Below challenge. Do this by making your way across the Planetarium or completing 50 waves in the Simulacrum. The former will effectively finish the game, but you need the alternate ending. So, be prepared for a tough fight as you'll have to take on the Voidling along the way.

Now, if you plan on going down the Simulacrum route, keep a few things in mind. Every fifth wave you take on will spawn a boss enemy. This means you will need to fight 45 waves of enemies that scale with each wave along with five bosses.

If you're having trouble defeating 50 waves, try turning down the difficulty. Alternatively, using the Railgunner can help you have an easier time. You can also use the Artifact of Devotion in Risk of Rain 2 to help deal with multiple enemies. Another strategy that works for the Simulacrum is to use the Engineer along with Artifacts of command and sacrifice.

Doing so will allow you to stack items quickly; use this to your advantage to get damage buffs thus making the entire encounter much simpler.

Lastly, if you're having trouble taking down the Voidling, using the Railgunner can make the fight much easier. Its passive ability will help you land critical hits consistently, allowing you to deal massive amounts of damage. Now, you should have no trouble unlocking Void Fiend in Risk of Rain 2.
