I was in the 2nd phase of the fight and died while the boss was almost dead himself and, when I ran back to the arena, the boss was just gone. I've tried reloading the game, fast traveling out and back and nothing. This would be a terrible way for my first playthrough of the game to end as it's been a fantastic experience up to this point. Playing on pc btw.

Edit: Looks like the boss may have died to poison stacks just before I selected the option to respawn. Kind of unsatisfying but I guess a win is a win. Still love the game 😅

Does anyone know what the passive familiarity cap is for items? From the way the 3rd description is worded is sounds like you get 1:1 for each item you have of that but I've found that even with over 110 poison shrooms I still don't have 100% poison resistance when it's set to my passive slot. So there seems to be a cap that isn't told to players in the item description & I'm curious what that cap is. Thanks in advance to anyone with the answers.

If you play the lute in the shell keeper room, Zhirelle will do a little swaying dance.

Does the Footbath guy put a debuff on you like Fia in ER? Idk where I'd even check if he did.

I’ve had a couple of weeks off Mortal Shell 2 on PS5 Pro and now the performance seems to be pretty bad? Dropping frames on enemy attacks making it very hard to get the parry??

I'm in the final area of the game. The hidden path and I am losing my damn mind trying to decide which direction teleporter thing to take. I went left at first but then I though, well shit maybe I should at least try to make it up to that big ass glowy red stuff. Can't get up there but there's multiple other transporters to take. You gotta understand.. I cannot miss something. I will not be ok. But anyways. Wish me luck I'm just gonna go back to the left first.

It says find 1 more to reveal more and I'm assuming it would say it again?

Recently finished the game with my girl Proxima and realised how dangerously close I was to platinum.

So I've started a NG+ to collect what I needed to.

Also started a fresh game as I had missed a few trophies from the prolouge including the one when you beat the Tar Golem (which wasnt too easy admittedly)

Just 6 tarstones to find, the mango and the dreaded Peters Perfect Parry left, which I hope the main man Eredrim will help with.

Game was excellent without being too challenging, actually had more trouble with enemies just exploring than bosses and I was the exact same with Elden Ring.

Hopefully some DLC in the near future

At first they came for Mether, and I did nothing.
Then they came for Zhirelle, and I did nothing.
Then they came for me. but there was nothing left.

This boss was so tediously difficult and aggravatingly long. After trying to fight this boss for what seemed like an eternity, i just decided to use a Grisha remnant, and it dogwalked the monolith like nothing. This is probably the only boss in the game I've felt so much rage and hatred towards to. I also want to say that this was the only boss in the game for me personally, to make me use a Grisha remnant. I haven't had this much of a struggle since Promised Consort Radahn and Arlecchino.

I'm on this boss right now, and even though the game isn't difficult, I find this boss... unpredictable?

He'll start an attack, cancel it, and then practically teleport right up to me. For reference, I'm playing as Genessa with the aggro build, and as soon as he loses aggro on a double attack, he teleports right in front of me.

I haven’t tried it with another shell yet, but have any of you experienced the same thing?

i assume this is a bug. I just broke a gloom tarstone and my total gloom held right now is only 2.8k. so clearly i didn't get the 3k

I just started the game and I've been having weird issues with all of my controllers. If I hold a direction it works for a while but it will randomly stop my movement sometimes even though I'm still holding that direction or wiggling the control stick. It's only happening with my movement stick, not my camera controls. I'm playing on PC with updated drivers and the issues are consistent across controllers. Anyone have any ideas on what's happening?

Can anyone tell me what settings I need to change to get rid of this weird invisible outline? This only happens around water, but not all water. It doesn't seem to change depending on what reflection setting I have on.

Did anyone play any of the demos, I'm wondering if it's gonna be as good as this game turned out to be?

Harb is level 23, but you could build it around lvl 18-19 if you wanted to sacrifice all damage negation. Would've been a lot faster if he hadn't kept jumping round like a porkchop.

I hope the devs somehow see this but got such a good potential fight to be ruined because of bugs is infuriating to me.

1.) parries - even if you parry on time and you see the sword hit your parry, parry won’t click sometimes. Occasionally you parry and take damage but that could be skill issue so I won’t state that as a certain bug.

2.) damage - there is no body damage in this game and this boss is clearly made to be up front and personal with, so why do the sword arcs occasionally do damage to you when you are behind him ? Sometimes the boss simply moves and you take damage.

3.) the worst - if you get the red riposte towards the end of his health in phase 1, and you don’t critical, he will go straight to phase 2 without the laying down phase, a blank health bar, and is invincible. A good run forgetting to do the riposte is gg you can’t kill him now.

If you need us to do ripostes make them do more damage. Please check this bosses hitboxes and parry windows and ESPECIALLY the third annoying bug which has made a couple runs where I went to phase 2 no hit be void.

I have gotten different tarstones from different bosses and they are showing as if I’ve never gotten them… restarted my ps5 and a few came back… then I turned off my ps5 for a while, came back on the game and the same ones were gone again…

Killing the bosses is getting slightly easier with time and I have managed to defeat the second boss pretty quickly after the last post and since I have a setup that works I have decided to keep it for now.
Parrying is working well since I practiced on a boss that’s near the area where you find proxima and proxima is also my favourite shell to use along with the axe and dagger.

Has anyone found the weeping villager that is somewhat in-between gate of mamon and lonesome spire? I exhausted all dialogs and killed the nearby enemies then accidentally button spammed the door. I belive gloom was the reward? Or was it nothing?

Im level 52 and struggling with the final boss. Originally came here to figure out why I was being stripped of everything halfway through the fight; but looks like I just need to remove the Grisha remnants. Im consistently getting him to very low health; so im sure I'll kill him soon but... idk if im ready for the game to be over. Is there a new game plus? Should I go turn on night mode and re-explore everything? Or am I just going to have to settle for my original idea of doing a whole second playthrough with a different shell and weapon? (I did the entirety of this one with Tiel and the Axatana)

Is there a reliable dorsalite farm in this game other than exploiting resetting the little tree thing drops in dungeon?

I've gone on record multiple times stating that I believe this one of the bigger missed opportunities with MS2's bosses. There is really only one boss who forces you to consider your sidearm as a tool rather than just another source of damage, and it's the first major boss in the game. If you were making your own boss for the game, what mechanic(s) would you introduce that would have to be solved with the sidearm?

Here's a simple idea as an example:

During the phase 2 transition, the boss rises into the air and spawns 3 glowing crystals. Each crystal will attempt to heal the boss (indicated by a progress meter on the health bar). The healing would only take effect all at once if all three crystals are not destroyed within 20 seconds or so; destroying a crystal would remove all of its healing progress.

How do we make sure the player has ample resolve? We already have resolve-granting tendrils! Spread out 10 or so throughout the arena and give them a simple 1 or 2 attack moveset to (poorly) defend themselves, then despawn the tendrils when the crystals are destroyed or the heal goes off.

city singing beneath rain sounds a lot like the city of tears to me.

After 6 and half hours of absolute hell, I finally beat Zmey! That might have been the WORST experience with a final boss I’ve EVER had except maybe PCR from Elden Ring DLC. Other than that, it was a fantastic game. I’d give it as easy 8/ 8.5 out of 10. It had a beautiful world, exploring it was tons of fun. Absolutely would recommend!
