It's only the Final Battle once all the players are ready.

is there any way to join the awakened that doesnt involve getting rid of the drayk in the crystal mine. i have level 15 creations and he still just demolishes me

Assuming it hasn't been changed, there should be a dialogue option that doesn't end in violence, though it's definitely stat-locked and I don't know the threshold or remember what it looks for. It does make the Drayk upset with you, but it won't try to kill you.

I honestly mostly remember that the solution exists because it made me distraught as a teen to steal from it.

Also for any faction you can skip some of the intro quest requirements with high leadership and either high or low servile sympathy, a hidden stat that tracks how you answer dialogue about serviles. Being a jackass makes it easier to join the jackass factions, being pro servile makes it easier to join the Awakened and Takers. If you go too hard on one side of the scale it can also lock you out of joining though there is an NPC who can reset your rep.

Anyone know where you go to upgrade the helix ring in the Geneforge 2 remake? I finally got it charged up but haven't found where you use the charge.

The anvil in Drypeak Warrens should work. (each faction should have it's own anvil.) You will need infernal residue and mandrake root. There are two other items that can be improved at an anvil Frosted Amulet and Feisty Slap Glove.

Or so the Hintbook says.

Drakons and Ur-Drakons are superweapons created by crazy people who want to end the world. They're efficient killing machines.

I feel like on the one hand the Geneforge setting feels really unique and interesting and on the other hand it's like "What if dragons, but spelled with a K"

It's not just for the sake of it like in Mortal Kombat. Drakon is how it's originally spelled in Greek, so it's more archaic. In many modern languages this word is spelled this way.

It is pretty pointless but it allows to separate this guys from your usual fantasy Dragons, and it's not as silly as all the ways you saw the word "magic" written in fantasy stories.
