The Awakened King DLC does add new weapons and locations, but that’s not all. Hidden within the new areas is a brand new Archetype to collect. Some Archetypes in the base game were somewhat tricky to collect, but with this one, it’s all about knowing where to search.
If you’re someone who dishes out status effects, you’ll want the Ritualist Archetype.
How to Get the Ritualist Archetype
As with any Archetype, you must first find the material to take to Wallace.
Ritualist Archetype Material
There’s no trick to this one or gimmick. You don’t even have to buy anything with a special currency. Instead, you need to head to a certain spot on the map. This won’t be possible until you have reached the second side of the Forgotten Coast after the Sunken Witch fight. This will bring you to a section that is all docks.
You’ll need to jump across boats to find this small cave. This location is a guaranteed to spawn, so there’s no chance it will get lost in the procedural generation. It will be hard to miss as you explore considering you can rotate and manipulate the map to find it.
At the end of the cave, there will be an enemy performing some ritual on a pig. When you interrupt and kill them both, you’ll find the Ragged Poppet material nailed to a post at the very back of the cave.
Unlocking Ritualist
Take the Ragged Poppet back to Wallace in Ward 13, and as long as you have 5 Lumenite Crystals, you can trade it for the Cursed Effigy.
