The Remnant Iron Lords are mutated Humans and Exos that are infused and warped by SIVA to defend Site 6 in the event of an opposing force breaching the replication complex.
Overview[edit]
Remnant Iron Lords were formerly Iron Lords who, upon being sealed in Site 6 by Jolder,[1] were captured and immobilized by SIVA. The SIVA would then spend the years between the Battle of Site-6 and the events of Rise of Iron mutating and transforming the bodies of the captured Iron Lords into monstrosities used for its own preservation.[2]
Upon the Guardian breaching Site 6 and finding the self-destruct sequence, its self-preservation programs activate and the body of Felwinter is yanked into the ceiling, dropping an Iron Battle Axe he held in his final moments. Moments later, the Remnant of Felwinter descends, intent on preserving the very complex its host wished to seize all those years ago. However, it would fail and be felled, leading to the other two Remnants, Remnant of Gheleon, and Remnant of Jolder to be activated well as Devil Splicer reinforcements entering the complex to assist. However, they would prove inadequate in defeating the next generation of Iron Lords and would finally be laid to rest.[2] It is unknown if the three Guardians were already dead and SIVA was merely piloting their bodies, or if they still lived in some form of half life.
Gameplay[edit]
Remnant Iron Lords are hybrid units who can easily swap from constant SIVA gattling gunfire harassment and zone denial with their SIVA Launcher, to shambling into close range for a quick dangerous fist shockwave attack. Whenever one appears, it has SIVA shielding around it that prevents all damage from reaching it. Only the combined sharp edge and melting flame of an Iron Battle Axe's persistent damaging can break the shielding. Once the shield is broken, the Remnant is able to be damaged from any source. They also deal persistent damage in close range due to a SIVA swarm constantly swarming around them.
Trivia[edit]
- The Remnants are one of the first non-alien enemies that the player has to fight and were the first fightable Lightbearers.
- They are also still the only fightable NPC Guardians.
- Felwinter's model is the same as Jolder's and Gheleon's, despite being an Exo and not human along with Ghost saying that they're human even though Felwinter is Exo.
