Mortal Shell 2 walkthrough

Rock Paper Shotgun ยป Guidesโœ Ollie Tomsโฑ 5 min read(about 4 hours ago)

Overview & Key Takeaways

Mortal Shell 2 is one of the very best of its genre, in my opinion as a veteran Souls player. It's got all the grit and confidence of a true soulslike, and a haunting world that's truly exciting to uncover - in a way that only a few open-world games can match. But as you may expect, the brutal combat, labyrinthine pathways, and obtuse moon logic questlines all combine to make this a pretty challenging game to complete - let alone 100%.

That's where we come in. This page contains the entirety of Rock Paper Shotgun's Mortal Shell 2 walkthrough, from start to finish. I'll guide you step by step through every major area on the map, highlighting collectibles, weapons, bosses, questline instructions, and more along the way. My intention is for this guide to be the definitive place to go for new players (or returning Harbingers) looking to 100% Mortal Shell 2 and have the most fun possible while doing it.

Mortal Shell 2 plants you behind the eyeless mask of the Harbinger - a creature guided by the godlike UnderMether to recover her Ova. Why? To try to cleanse the world of the corruption left behind by a dark and powerful being known only as the "Passenger", which journeyed to the world inside the UnderMether herself. The Harbinger can possess fallen mortal heroes - known as Shells - which grant the Harbinger access to various abilities, much like classes in other RPGs. But here, the Harbinger can switch between the different Shells at any point in the game.

Mortal Shell 2: All Shell locations

!(https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/sester-genessa-closeup.jpg?width=690&quality=85&format=jpg&auto=webp) There are 8 Shells for your Harbinger to inhabit in Mortal Shell(https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/mortal-shell) 2, not counting Harros, the vassal who helps you during the game's Prologue. Each Shell possesses different abilities, from Tiel's skill at disappearing into the shadows to Smert's time-stopping powers. Since Mortal Shell as a franchise eschews traditional character classes, finding the right Shell to suit your playstyle is vital. But aside from Tiel and Proxima, most Shells are hidden in secret locations that you'll either stumble upon as you explore, or need to spend Glimpses to find in Zhirelle's chamber within the Marrow Keep. Our advice? Don't waste your Glimpses, which are a limited resource and only reveal the approximate location of each Shell. Instead, bookmark this guide, which details the exact locations of all Shells in Mortal Shell 2 and how to unlock them. Read more(https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/mortal-shell-2-shell-locations)
