InRemnant 2, weapon Mods provide special abilities for your ranged weapons that give you tactical advantages in combat as you progress and face the challenges of the game. These abilities have a variety of effects like causing damage, granting buffs to you and allies, or even providing healing. However, once you use a weapon Mod, there's a cooldown period before you can use it again.

Weapon Mods can be mainly obtained by purchasing them from Ava McCabe in Ward 13 or by giving her crafting materials obtained from defeating bosses. These materials allow you to craft more powerful weapon Mods. Among these Mods, there's a hidden one you might not have encountered before simply because the process of acquiring is not straightforward. This Mod is called Familiar.

How To Get The Familiar Secret Mod

Locate The Huntress

In order to unlock the Familiar Secret Mod, your initial step is to progress through the game until you arrive at Losomn. Once you reach this world, your objective is to locate the Huntress.

However, there's an additional step: before reaching her, you need to have obtained the Dreamcatcher, which is necessary for this process.

Once you get your hands on the Dreamcatcher, you'll need to locate the Huntress at one of these three locations below:

• Brocwithe Quarter
• Forsaken Quarter
• Ironborough

The Huntress spawns randomly at any of these locations, regardless of the storyline you're following in Losomn.

Finding The Correct Path

During your search, your initial encounter with her will involve her attempting to attack you out of nowhere.

Your first instinct will be probably to fight her, but what you need to do is ​​​​try not to defeat her during this encounter, even though she usually attacks briefly and then withdraws.

In the same location where she confronted you; whether it's Brocwithe Quarter, Forsaken Quarter, or Ironborough, if you progress further, you'll stumble upon a checkpoint called Briella’s Garden.

This is a positive sign that you're on the right path.

You can recognize Briella’s Garden by its appearance as a maze-like garden on your mini-map.

How To Catch The Huntress

In this area, it's probable that the Huntress will be asleep. Should she be awake, either allow her to defeat you or rest at the checkpoint. After that, simply head back to her location and she should be asleep.

Once she's asleep, you need to approach her silently and then equip and use the Dreamcatcher on her.

The process remains the same when obtaining the Crescent Moon Bow and unlocking the Invader Archetype.

By doing this, you'll acquire the Huntress's Dream.

Fighting The Huntress

After using this item by slotting it in the quickbar, you'll be transported to Briella's Reverie, which is an alternative version of Briella’s Garden.

Here, the Huntress will attack you and you'll have to defeat her this time for good.

If you have successfully killed the Huntress in this location, you'll earn the Sacred Hunt Feather.

This crafting material can be taken to McCabe at Ward 13, alongside five Lumenite Crystals and 650 scrap, in order to craft the Familiar Weapon Mod.

Familiar Weapon Mod Overview

The Familiar is a weapon Mod that calls upon a Faerie Familiar to help you in combat for a limited period of time.

This Mod can be exclusively attached to standard weapons only.

This helpful Familiar will randomly choose an enemy within a range of ten meters and strike them for 25 damage with each attack.

Once it's finished dealing with the current foe, the Familiar will select a new target to attack. Additionally, this Mod remains active for 15 seconds and requires a Mod Power of 1,000 before you can use it again.

It's important to note that the Familiar is considered a Summon for the purposes of Amulets and Rings effect.

The Familiar Mod is a great option for both the Summoner Archetype and the Handler Archetype. This is due to the fact that you'll have additional allies to support you in battles, particularly during boss fights.

If you are playing the game solo, these companions can divert enemies and bosses' attention away from you. This allows you to attack without concerns about your health being depleted, at least temporarily.

Although Weapon Mods cannot be upgradeddirectly, they do receive additional benefits based on the level of the weapon they are attached to. This generally enhances their effects in line with the weapon's level.
