Should you Kill or be Eaten by Tal Ratha in Remnant 2?

As I travelled through the world of Remnant 2, I had to make choice after choice. After solving a challenging door puzzle and finishing up my time in N'erud, I was faced with yet another: do I kill Tal Ratha or let it eat me?

Tal Ratha Choice Explained - Remnant 2

Tal Ratha gives you two choices: you can fight and defeat it in combat, or you can choose to be eaten by it. Both outcomes will lead to you fighting a boss, but the boss you face and the rewards you get will be different. Let's dive into what happens with both choices when facing Tal Ratha in Remnant 2.

What happens if you kill Tal Ratha?

You will fight Tal Ratha's physical form if you opt not to be eaten. This boss is more difficult, and I prefer the reward for this choice. Defeating this form of Tal Ratha rewards you with the Spiced Bile, which can be crafted into Nebula (a handgun that can deal acid damage).

What happens if you get eaten by Tal Ratha?

If you decide to get eaten by Tal Ratha, you still have a fight ahead of you. However, you will fight Tal Ratha (Metaphysical). This is different and easier than the fight if you do not get eaten. For this option, you will receive the Acidic Jawbone, which can be crafted into Gas Giant (a melee weapon that can deal acid damage).
