Once Annihilation launches its follow-up attacks, you are advised to prioritize survival over offensiveness. You must observe its fighting mechanics before dealing with damage during this fighting stage. Although the boss has a mighty sword that inflicts heavy damage, paying attention to the chime sound when it swings helps you dodge effectively.

Avoiding areas where the tentacles will slam down also ensures your safety and allows you to battle for a more extended period. Annihilation throws its final move, damage grid, at players which is one of its powerful attacks. In this stage of the fight, those who dodge the damage grid will take significantly less damage than those who crouch.

The main threat is still looming even after Annihilation launches its powerful attack, the energy orb. Players focusing on eliminating this threat have higher chances of surviving the wrath. Since it can kill anyone, one must shift their focus on this danger.

The fight will not be over even after one chips away Annihilation's HP. Various enemy mobs will attack players from multiple directions and focusing on these creatures first rather than engaging with the final boss is essential. Since this battle will only last for a short while, you are advised to take them out to finally put an end to Annihilation in Remnant 2.
