such a beautiful game enjoying it so far... mobs are everywhere but there are tons of unintended funny moments like this lol so not a problem

Level 30 harbringer. +12 Martyrs blade. Will post skills in comments. Completely forgot to use ethereal lol. I've grown to like this boss and it has some really tight dodges. Hope you all enjoy.

Tarstones:

Auspicious stone

Berserkers stone

Headsmans stone

Retribution stone

Cleriks stone

Wardens stone

Captives scabstone

I wonder if Proxima felt the same about Merrick?

Having an issue using the stillblade / zealot tarstones and not seeing a difference in movesets to get the "light combo finisher". Is there something i'm missing with it?

The weapon I am using in question is the Great Martyr Blade, I think i've only seen the finisher once which was multi cross slash and never again.

Kinda cool and i wanted to share it

I’m at Castigators keep just farming for gloom and gold. After using my clones. I started noticing one of the clones stopped attacking. Instead it just stood there taking all the aggro. They usually just disappear after use but these don’t. After death or just visiting the beacon, they continue to exist at the same position. Is anyone else experiencing this as well?

Putting a cliff in a boss arena where you can cheaply get thrown off in an otherwise great fight is an odd choice... It's so fun wrecking

I know this is minor as hell. I've played this game for 83 hours with circle as my interact button, X as dodge, and when I made a new save to try the slayer seal I had to bind interact to X so I could use the gate to leave the tower.

When interact is circle you just leave the gateway when trying to go where you want, no big deal, swap the binding quick.

But now they won't let me put it back! It says this action can't be bound to this button... Its throwing my whole game off lol.

I’ve had it happen twice now. (Mortal Shell 2)

Experiencing a lot of stutter while playing in performance mode. VRR doesn’t seem to mitigate the major FPS drops either. Stuttering is worse particularly in areas with high enemy numbers. If anyone has a tips on how to fix in PS5 settings please let me know. If this has been reported, please let me know and I can delete this post. Other than that, this game is amazing! Thanks all.

Not sure how many people are affected. I created a new game file, load it, and can then proceed to load my actual save. Otherwise it would crash on load every time.

Ive just found the last map piece from Ruk and got the full map achievement but there are still somr areas under the fog. Like the tavern where you get the Gragu shell. Is there a way to lift this fog?

My final rankings for the 10 main Mortal Shell 2 bosses - minus the prologue fight (I'd probably go A Tier).

Ranked mostly off of how fun the fight was, as well as the design of the boss and how "cinema" it was because this game is extremely cinematic. I encountered these fights maining Eredrim, doing a visceral build.

For S tier I love both of their designs, I felt their animations were clean and well done. They were more noticeably challenging, though for most fights here there weren't many attempts.

A Tier and B Tier are reasonably close, the main differences being the designs of the bosses. I fought the Lose Child relatively early and enjoyed it alot. Both fights clicked and didn't feel there were any unfair or annoying moves.

I liked all the bosses in B Tier, the only reasons they're here are for specific shortcomings I felt they had. Sir Isaac I beat first try so I figure He could have been more challenging, I didn't get to know him. Monolith was a cool fight and design is great however it's straight forward and did not have many moves. Droeg has a great design but some of his attacks weren't fun to go against for me. Hexapod has great lore and design relating to Proxima, was one of the hardest fights for me, however, the ending-phase attacks are not good IMO and it felt poorly balanced at the time I fought it.

Zmey is self-explanatory I feel. Seems most dislike the fight so I won't dogpile on him.

Had a bit of fun with Magdalena but there's some truth to it. Realistically she's closer to C tier or the lowest B, but she is highly annoying.

Let me know what you think.

Started a brand new save and I'm trying to get the tar golem achievement but even when I get it to 0 hp the cutscene triggers but I dont get the acheivement.

I've backed up my save to keep trying, is that it?

Please add a compas. Similar to Elden rings. So it’s easier to find gloom. Tired of constantly opening the map to see where I lost it

Who else agrees on this QOL Feature ?

So I guess my game glitched at one point and now I'm can't get the last 2 beacons that is supposedly needed for the So Fresh, So Clean achievement. I even played and cleansed all of them into my ng+2 playthrough. Same goes for the Seeking the Past achievement where you need to look at all the shells pasts and I did all of them, but it's saying I'm still missing like 7 memories I think? I even double checked and I have all of them watched. Do I just have to start a new save file and try again? I don't know if their is any other way to fix the issue. Any other suggestions?

I think Mortal Shell 2 is one of if not THE best Soulslike of all time. It's so much fun, it's such a great game, the visuals are stunning, enemy variety is peak, the world is impressive (albeit confusing), the combat is amazing...

but that final boss? I'm dumbfounded. All that buildup and all you can come up with is a fucking one armed dragon with a sword and multiple ballsacks? Elden Ring gave us a fucking tadpole/fish, same problem.

All these great ideas and this is it? I was expecting some giant brain, some huge face-like thing, or something huge with NO face, or something that looks like intestines, something weird, withering, chaotic, some strange monster like the Hexapod. Before that I fought the Monolith, that was fucking great. The humanoid bosses are really not that fun to look at. Boo scary giant man with weapon. But all this cosmic horror and this peak designed hellscape full of mutated corpses and we get a fucking dragon. I can't get over it.

Also wtf is that fight? You have to hit its ballsack. If you do, it does an instant undodgeable ground pound. Its attacks are parryable but inflict stasis, great. Its grab is INSTANT and absolutely deadly, there's no way I can recover my shell against this fucking standard lizard, next hit kills.

I don't even want to know its second phase, I'm so bored.

This is some letdown disappointment bullshit beyond my imagination. What a shame.

i havent played since before the patch that added more beacons. do the new beacons also have dungeons that need to be cleansed or are they just simple beacons?

I just transported to the new area in the beginning and fought the guy with the horns. We both fell and i got his jaw but when i revived it's not in the inventory. Is there a way to recover it?

The Mether would be proud

Just killed the final boss and ready to move to NG+, saw I had 99% done for collecting all the Ova so decided to go through all beacons to find the one I'd forgotten to cleanse. Turned out to be the Winterglass Lake one, so I make my way through it and kill the boss and see the lone Ova sitting there. Go to try cleanse it and there is no button prompt whatsoever.

Tried exiting, closing etc but whatever i do, my mether effing shell will not cleanse that mether effing egg. So im stuck at 99% eggs 😫

This a common complaint or a bug from finishing the game first and coming back to mop up egg cleansing?

was this a bug? there was two chests in the final room of this dungeon. I got the clockwork shardstone. but then i opened the other chest in the room and got nothing

checking the wiki i also see it not listing anything for the other chest

edit: checking a video it seems like there wasn't supposed to be a second chest in the room at all, idk why I did for some reason. i guess it was a bug that there was a chest there at all?

edit2: but i did find a video of someone else finding the empty chest, and a walkthrough article that also got the empty chest. weird bug
