The Harrow | Remnant From The Ashes Wiki

this thing is so freaky looking

Submit

Equipped fully Leto’s Armor set. Band of castor, band of Pollux. Twisted idol. Chicago typewriter. Sub machine gun. Hot shot mod and the Mantle of thorns. Sword for melee. Basically activate mantle of thorn, enter arena, shoot the leg of harrow but try to lead him back to center of the arena, about 40 shots Move in and switch to sword and swipe at him as fast as possible. You should be able to do enough damage to do more than 30%-40% of his health before can run away. At this point he will kneel. Grab the lance. Switch to either guns to take out adds and survive. Keep distance and shoot harrow to survive the fight.

Submit

Alright, y'all, my friends and I got the kneel portion down, at least what worked for us. We tried basically every rumor and every different type of strategy we could think of, but what worked for us was using high damage low RoF weapons. We had 2 snipers and one shotgun and just went to down on the legs. We staggered him 4 times and he went down on the 4th time. We also let him run away each time we staggered him.

The Devastator rumor was complete B.S. for us. Even with all 3 of us using it and targeting his legs, we didn't get him to stagger ONCE and had to let him kill us to try something else

Submit

Pretty much Gorefist again:
Large melee enemy ? Check.
Kills you quick if it reaches you ? Check
Narrow corridors that can be blocked by adds ? Check
Swarmed by annoying adds ? Check
Only real difference I can see is it has hit has a one hit player kill move and you might be better geared by the time to fight it.

Submit

if ur killing normal this is a joke on coop

Submit

This ***** will not stagger. Using devastator with it's two 300% stagger damage does nothing, using petrified maul does ****ing nothing and shooting him in the leg did nothing.

vvvv FOR ANYONE STILL TRYING TO GET THE SPEAR vvvv

In order to get the Lost Harpoon, you need to stagger him multiple times without letting him run away.
After he staggers, STAY CLOSE IN FRONT OF HIM to bait his 4x claw swipes combo, you may have to do this multiple times to prevent him from running. Once he starts using normal attacks again, you're safe.
Get something that you can use reliably for burst damage at close range and dance around his right side, getting shots at his leg while you're behind him.
Remember to STAY CLOSE to him.
You can use the corners around the center platform to get him stuck in attacks without being able to reach you until his pathfinding leads him back up the stairs.
Staying in the center platform will also help you get in front of him to stop him from running towards the door on the LEFT.

Once he's kneeling, get behind him and spam your interact button until you pull the spear. Then just polish off the rest of his healthbar safely.

Bit underwhelming for a World Boss. I killed it on my first time through Rhom without even realising it was one. Just ripped it apart with help from my Very Good Boy. Mind you, I might have been a bit overleveled.

Submit

They don't warn you about his one shot grab attack yet the image they use is from the attack.

He'll roar at you before running towards you and stab at you with his claw, if it connects he'll spear you through the stomach and lift you up, roaring at you again before throwing you on the ground.

Submit

Is there a place I can go to find out how to get the lost harpoon? The info in the wiki is out-of-date and i can't really find any more up-to-date info about this

Submit

If you have the turret mod, you can literally trap the boss and stay in spawn and burn him down.

Submit

By far the easiest boss in the game. Use whatever set you want, one shot magazine guns are suggested (Sniper, Devastator). Run through him and kite him arround in a circle in the middle of the arena -Adrenalines are your best friend here- and DPS him at a slow rate. Harrow reacts to fast and high DPS ratios, just focus on running around and fire a shot every 2-3 seconds. Be careful with your mods, make sure they dont stack extensive DPS, making him retreat. Devastator works best for me, but use whatever gun you vibe with, just make sure you utilize the strat and you will have the easiest nightmare/apocalypse fights of your life. Do it a couple of times to get the hang of the DPS ratio you have to deal to secure that he doesnt spawn ads and you're all set. You're welcome.

Submit

i found a pretty silly "bug" to deal with this fight: go to the corridor on your left just after you enter the arena, when the boss follow you into the corridor, moving towards the corner of the path kinda messes with its pathfinding AI, and he'll turn around and try to reach you from the other end of the corridor. Return to the previous position and he'll turn back again. This also affects normal enemies coming from the arena entrance side of the corridor as well.

With this trick you'll only have to worry about the minions coming from one end of the corridor, and with a weapon with sustainable firepower (I used Ruin), the fight is actually not that bad.

Submit

alternative kill described here doesn't work at all. predictably, since fextralife writers have no idea what they're doing. Shooting his legs actually just deals damage until he dies and you get no stagger to remove the weapon.

Submit

developers for this game are pretty dumb. What am I supposed to do here? boss's attacks are outrageous and have absurd range. to make it worse, they put extremely tight corridors.. in a 3rd person game.. what moron does level design like this

no wonder this game is borderline dead

Submit

If you keep him in the middle area, he cannot retreat to the roof and spawn adds. Just kite him around that place and keep shooting

Actually there was a much more cheesy way xD Equip the "Mantle of Thorns" mod from the first boss and get your hand on either the "World Breaker" Hammer or the "Petrified Maul" Hammer. Shoot his leg until he is close, dodge and go ham on him with LOADED strikes. Either you hit him hard and stagger, or the reflection of the Mante hits him even harder. He will be on his knees in 3-4 strikes. Pull the speer and finish him off.

Submit

After a ton of testing and failures I think I've got this figured out:
Turns out that there's TWO types of stagger situations, one where he immediately runs after a stagger and another where he keeps fighting for a bit before running and that's the crucial difference! Once you stagger him by shooting his one leg and he decides to keep on fighting THEN start shooting his other leg and only THEN it works to send him to his knees.

Submit

i've just find an interesting thing. I just fought him in apocalipse with a build with bleeding+fire status and if i kept the status always on he never run away and skip the add phase. I dunno if the point was 2 any random status or just the fire (the bleeding alone is not enough for that i'm sure). Need more test. Hope it helps

Submit

Not sure if it was a bug or what but using the beam rifle i was able to just dodge his attacks and kill him without ever fighting an add? Though this only worked after switching off the very good boy mod.

Submit

How the f*** are you supposed to do the harpoon kill if it takes like 200 shots to a leg to make it stagger and another 100 during stagger to make him fall (while the stagger animation is shorter than an smg reload..... not to mention if you somehow pull this miracle the prompt to pick up the harpoon is so friggn random it's pure luck if you manage to pick it up before he gets back on his feet....

Submit

This guy can be quite a wall depending on your build, the adds can become overwhelming if your build isn't suited to dealing with them quickly, and if you can't kill them fast enough then you have to contend with them *and* Harrow. The submachine gun and Spitfire are good subweapon choices for spraying through adds quickly, leaving your long-gun slot open for whatever you like.
Explosive Shot, Rattle Weed, and Iron Sentinel are excellent help for the fight, and if you're lucky enough to have help with you, perhaps one of your teammates will bring more late-game mods like Stormcaller or Blink Token, which are also fantastic for melting adds.
Special note for people using Ruin; the Undying mod will not protect you from Harrow's instant kill Deathclaw command grab, you will still die even if the mod is fully charged.

Submit

I HATE THIS BOSS SO *****ING MUCH, ID RATHER DO THE ISKAL QUEEN ON NIGHTMARE THAN THIS *****ER ON NORMAL

Submit

Solo hard, no dmg: Shotgun +turret mod / Hive cannon Stay in mid stage all fight so when he comes back u see him early and have enough time to damage hard, just shoot him nonestop and run around, mod can help a bit but make sure that when he runs away u got 2 turrets up nd shot Hive cannon mod to ground, run around that and adds will die with almost no effort. Took me 3 or 4 rounds of him running and coming back

Submit

To note if you stagger him keep shooting his leg to make him drop.

Submit

he has an instant kill move where he picks you up and you are just dead happened after he summoned a wave of adds

Submit

Don't know why ppl struggle that much... you just kill the ads with a shotgun and then deal with the boss . A fire attribute weapon + swarm will delete him in 2-3 mins , keep your distance and u are more than fine.

Submit

so he just keeps spawning infinite ads with me

Submit

Struggled for sometime to beat him. Staying in the center of the room, fire mods, lots of dodging did the trick for me. The ads mostly come from one of two entrances so they're could be dealt with. Saved some exploding bullets for the boss.

Submit

This fight is currently bugged on PS4. I got killed by his charge twice in a row(once through a wall and again when I dodged past him but he magically turned 180 degrees to hit me) and every time I respawn back at the checkpoint, my controls are completely unresponsive. I can open the menu but I cannot move/attack/aim/use items and even using the "warp back to last checkpoint" item the condition remains till I quit the game and reload.

Submit

I just had him down to like ONE full clip from death and he charged and hit me through a wall.

Submit

Managed to stop his running by interupting it using the Rattleweed Mod, worth a shot for anyone struggling. Didnt know about the Harpoon though so back to him I go

Submit

I actually figured him out. At list worked in my game. Shoot him in a leg. Just leg. He never runs away and no adds. After 2 hours of horrible time on him I was able to kill him without a scratch and got geode. Ba carefull tho one head or body hit he runs and you screwed. Hunter riffle or revolver works best. Feels almost like an exploit.

Submit

Infinite adds respawn is lazy design. First five times I thought kill adds then take 1/4 of his HP, but it is impossible to kill all adds and those bastards are fast. 20+. Now am dying when he is on last bar. Few more I guess but that fight is horrible. I highly recommend to use consumables from old dude and dog food. Maybe upgrade weapons and armor once or twice. At list that is what I gonna do now before wasting more time on him.

Submit

I cant find this place worth my life, why the ***** is everyone keeping silent about the location?

Submit

In nightmare(maybe other too) multiplayer ,Sometime he'll roar and charge toward player then perform thrust attack. This move was instant kill(not downed)

Submit

Me and my bestie Claviger don’t know who this Harrow guy is you all keep talking about. We think you just made him up.

Submit

Just beat this guy on Nightmare, and you know what would make this boss NOT cancer? Replacing his never ending mobs of bull*****with a set amount every time he runs and hides in the roof of the arena. If the mobs aren't dealt with, the next time The Harrow runs and hides, the next set of mobs will stack on the last, giving the player incentive to kill the mobs as they spawn. It's bad enough that this mother*****er his hard to find in his own arena when he isn't in hiding, but having to run from endless mob spawning bull*****only to turn a corner and be instantly killed by this guy is so utterly obnoxious.

Submit

Fought him, but I didn't get the thermal geode? Anyone else experience this?

Submit

This is absolutely the worst boss in terms of fun and design in the game. You spend more time fighting adds then actually fighting the boss itself

Submit

Shoot at him from the front and in the armor plating on his legs. the armor plating breaks off. After many attempts this is what worked for my friends and i.

Submit

It took me way too long to finally get the harpoon. Knocked him down as he was running away and he glitched out when he got back up and was able to just hack away. Ended up getting the untouchable achievement as well. Whatever, I'll take it. A little luck never hurt anyone.

Submit

Where the F is this guy???

Submit

I can't find the Harrow in the Rhom...where is he as a Scrapper?

Submit

Fought him several times (cause I'm terrible) and three of those times I used the beam rifle. He didn't run at all those three times. Maybe dumb luck

Submit

This guy has a special insta-kill animation, it's pretty sick but also sucks.

Submit

I've found if you go downstairs and walk around the two generator looking things he doesn't run away and the adds don't come in big numbers. This is how i was able to do the alternative kill. Upstairs was too nutty with adds everywhere. Just keep doing loops and he will trudge after you occasionally running, as long as you run around the outside you shouldn't have any problem.

Submit

is it possible to fight The Harrow and Claviger in the same run?

Submit

yep it must be the thing, happen to me too, whole day of trying and he just refuses to go stagger after 1 successful pull... so i guess you either do this the first time or can go ***** yourself, literally any hint that this will not work anymore will be a *****ing bless, thank god i finally find a comment here or i will still be trying to get that spear

Submit

This boss is the least fun I had in the game. I was trying to get the harpoon in a duo/multiplayer. We got him down once and the animation bugged because the other player was near him. Then the next time we got the harpoon animation, we ended up dying because I had to revive the other guy twice and having to shoot everything. Then we absolutely couldn't get him down. He staggers once on one leg then *****s off to the ceiling. So boring. Ended up killing him really fast the normal way.
