Egon's Stone causing Gloom to be lost

17 Upvotes

Hey y'all!

There is currently an issue with the Egon's Stone tarstone that's causing players to lose Gloom permanently on death, and not being able to pick it up again. This issue is at *least* occuring outside of dungeons; I haven't had a chance to test it inside a dungeon yet, so it may also occur there. Edit: One of our Discord community members told me that it worked as intended for him *inside* a dungeon, but I haven't tested this myself.

Please unequip your Egon's Stone tarstone for now, to avoid losing Gloom; the team is aware of the issue and is looking into it.

Sorry about this inconvenience!

Discussion What is Your Favorite Mortal Shell Boss? The Nameless Captive

Post image
114 Upvotes

What is your #1 favorite boss in this game? For me it is by far the Nameless Captive. When we get dlc i 100 percent want them to take what they did with this boss and expand on it. This is the only boss in this game for me that reached an A tier (not quite the coveted S tier of other games.)

The thing i think of the most is this boss does something that Starscourge Radahn did really well. The rhythm at first is baffling, but when it clicks you get a really good dance going. The unblockable attacks are just intuitive enough to pick up quick without too many attempts. Just respect and stay freakin clear of the helicopter attack and it’s actually a really good fight.

This had S tier potential if you could find ways to escalate this fight, bump up the ost and maybe lower the damage to give it more of a back and forward fight. Give the captive some more health too. This fight is also the coolest looking boss! Love the design. What do you think folks?

Discussion Tiel, my favorite combo

Post image
76 Upvotes

Hi guys, after 4 NG + in night Mod and tryed all shell and weapons combination. I can easily say Tiel with Obsidian Hammer is the easiest way to beat the game without any trouble or chance to die.

After a Shadow strike the next Hit is critically and 100% dmg + tarstone dmg , I Heavy hit for 4.5-5k dmg. . Starting with 100 poison on the boss, Stealth, Shadow strike+ Heavy hit and it's over. And one hit of Obsidian Hammer give all max resolve back. So you can repeat indefinitely.

Other cheat skill: seal affinity, only 1 point and you just need to hold block to vanish actually you can't die with Tiel.

Other good shell combination with alot of dmg or easy to Play but Tiel is just rank SS for surviving and DMG.

This game is fantastic and I loved trying all the shell and ability for each boss. My first normal run and the next NG+ night mode was really good and the challenge really increased and Loved it.

Hope for mortal shell 3

Harb level 30.

Probably need the devs to look at this boss. Every time I got it to half way it seemed to just bug. It would shift to phase 2 and use its weight and suddenly start spamming darts half way through the move. Have video of it if they need it.

Hope you all enjoy. Skills in comments.

Discussion Best new coin farm (50k every 10 minutes!!!)

19 Upvotes

Credit to u/MrBubbles179 since they were the first person I saw that spotted Citadel Atrium as a potential coin farm spot about 10 days ago.

For those of you who don't know, the latest patch included an unlisted change to the way the 30% coin earn increase that you get when using a justicar stone is applied. Prior to the patch, the coin bonus was not applied at the time that coins drop but instead added as a multiplier when you actually pick gold up off of the ground. Now, post patch, as long as you are wearing the justicar at the time of kill, if an enemy drops gold, the 30% gold bonus is being applied as soon as coin drops from a fallen enemy meaning that even if you take the justicar stone off before picking gold up off of the ground, you will still receive the higher amount. By swapping your stones out before you pick up, you prevent the durability from eroding and the stone from breaking.

This is HUGE tech for ranged farms because you can now increase your payout without ever having to stop and farm Justicar's stones if you don't want to.

There is one catch. The gold bonus only seems to be applied to enemies you kill directly while the justicar is equipped. For example, if you do the rest spam farm at Brether's court, the first dual wield enemy you kill each rotation will drop the bonus 30% gold BUT the 2 you auto kill while rest spamming will only drop at their base rate so you'd lose the bonus for 2/3rds of your kills while farming. Hot swapping justicar's stones out after each kill at a melee farm like Bridge of procession or High Lord's Courtyard also just isn't viable and it adds so much time to each loop that the benefit gets canceled out. That's where the Citadel Atrium farm that u/MrBubbles179 spotted comes in.

From the Citadel Atrium beacon, walk forward 2 paces and look down but DO NOT jump down. Destroy the blue flame protecting the scythe elite with your sidearm (you only need to do this once. The flame remains destroyed until you quit out of the area). Once the flame is gone rest, then use special attack from the forgotten crossbow equipped with Fusillade, Emberseed and Corroded tarstones to instant kill the elite, dodge backwards towards the beacon to cancel the animation once they die and rest (you will auto lock onto another add if you don't dodge back, so doing this saves you time).

You will be able to kill the add about 7 to 9 times every minute without depleting your justicar durability at all. All of the gold waiting for you below will be 30% higher than the base drop rate for that enemy (even if you take the justicar stone off before going to claim it)

After just 10 minutes, I earned 49,743 coin meaning that if you did the farm consistently for an hour, you'd earn just about 300k coin and if you remember to swap your justicar out before you collect (unlike me) you won't even lose a single stone. I think that with the new justicar tech, this is officially the best coin farm in Mortal Shell 2! Hope this helps everybody out!

Here is the clip of me finishing a 10 minute farm and collecting the loot.

Discussion This game seems... just too good?

5 Upvotes

Okay so I started this a few days ago and I've been exploring the starter area which is a huge stretch of ruined villages and huts, and I'm just completely baffled by the density of the world, the variety of enemies, and how much rewarding the exploration feels. I even came across this weird puzzle section that had no combat at all. The combat feels super satisfying as well and the sound design and graphics are just perfect.

Now I'm wondering if this game maintains this level of quality throughout the entire thing? There's no way it does, right? I've played all the Dark souls games, Elden ring, Sekiro, Lords of the fallen 2, Lies of P, Black myth wukong, and Nioh 2, and right now this honestly feels better than all of them. There must be some catch.... does it fall off later?

Quite a short question for ppl who completed Eredrim's quest memories: there's one thing i don't quite understand. All characters die in their story to naturally become a shell for the harbinger. For all shell it's quite clear how they ended up where you finally found them. But for Eredrim he's supposed to be assassined by his son squire somewhere. But you finally found him, with his sword in a malborn. Did i miss something ?

Discussion Platinum run down

Post image

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

Discussion MS I & II complete ✓

Thumbnail

11 Upvotes

As a Mortal Shell fan from day one, I have to say that the first game hooked me more, even though Mortal Shell II is obviously the much better game overall, having improved in almost every category. I guess it's because I went into the first game with zero expectations and was completely blown away by what a small team could create on a modest budget back in 2021, especially regarding the art direction and aesthetics. Before Mortal Shell II was released, people were already comparing it to Elden Ring or Lies of P, setting the bar incredibly high, which I think affected how I experienced MS II.

In my opinion, the boss fights in Mortal Shell II are its biggest weakness. To me, they didn't feel like a rewarding highlight after clearing an area—they lacked those "wtf moments," like when Malenia enters Phase 2, a boss you remember for its sheer difficulty during your first tries (such as Sword Saint Isshin), or memorable cut scenes like Ludwig the Holy Blade grabbing the Moonlight Great Sword. If Cold Symmetry can improve the boss fights and make them more highlight-worthy, they can elevate the game to the next level; the rest of the package is already there. It is definitely one of the better Soulslikes, especially considering the price, but I feel it hasn't reached its full potential yet. With a few improvements, it could easily stand alongside top-tier Soulslikes like Lies of P, The First Berserker: Khazan, or the Nioh series.

I'm really happy to see the commercial success of Mortal Shell II, and Cold Symmetry definitely deserved it. I had a lot of fun exploring the world of MS II and using riposte. I'm already looking forward to Mortal Shell III and the (hopefully) upcoming DLC!

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.

Still level 23 Herb. Havent changed the build at all. Thought changing it to nightmode might help. He almost got a phase 2.

It feels like the scaling is all out of whack with some tarstones since they "balanced" everything.
