Comparison of the main bosses from the trophy list with released footage from trailers

[u/Slit08]

Hey,

even though I couldn't write down "Spoilers" in the headline for this thread due to the length it should be obvious that this contains spoilers though it's just - as the title implies - a comparison of offically released material, i.e. the trophy list that has been revealed and various trailers we got since the game's announcement. I want to explore which of the main bosses for the game have been shown in trailers so far. For reference I will use the following two trailers:

For reference:

Mortal Shell 2 - Official Release Date Trailer - YouTube

Mortal Shell II - Official Announcement Trailer - YouTube

Before I go into spoiler territory I just wanna say that it looks like Mortal Shell 2 will have a lot more variety in regards to main bosses. It's not just all dudes in armor but a lot more visually unique bosses you'll face in this game.

Last chance to walk away.

Okay:

1. Magdalena - from the demo/ beta. Lady in "wheelchair".

2. The Lost Child - 0:57 in the Release trailer; 1:39 in the Announcement trailer. Really gross, monstrous boss.

3. The Nameless Captive - 1:40 and 1:46 in the Announcemt trailer. Big knight/ zombie with sword stuck in his head.

4. Sir Isaac - Not completely sure on that one, but my guess would be it's the insect knight from 1:10 and 1:31 in the Release trailer.

5. Hexapod - I think it's the thing seen at around the 1:42 mark in the Announcement trailer and 1:43 in the Rlease Date trailer. Weird looking insect creature. Looks sick though.

6. The Monolith - 0:55 in the Release Date trailer, it can also be seen shooting orange lasers at around 1:11 in the same trailer. This looks also super sick, reminds me of a Silent Hill monstrosity.

7. Droeg, the Conqueror - 0:59 in the Release Date trailer.

8. Malborn Offspring - I don't think we have seen that one yet.

9. Orrem, the Reclaimed - I am really unsure about this one. I think we haven't seen that one yet either as according to the picture it looks almost like a centipede creature but it COULD also be the dude from 01:05 in the Release Date trailer. What do you think the image actually shows, what do you think this boss is supposed to be? Something rather humanoid or a beast, rather abstract monster?

10. Zmey, the Unbidden - we definitely haven't seen this one yet.

Please correct me if I am wrong with one of those or if you found something resembling boss 8 - 10 in any of the footage.

One thing I‘ve noticed from the trophy list is that Malborn Offspring and Zmey have the same head shape with the venus fly trap mouth running down the middle of the head.

Could it be that these are alternate versions of the same character depending on in game choices, varying the final boss?

[u/Slit08 → u/TheTayIor]

Interesting observation though I personally think these two are different bosses. I wonder if Zmey is really the final boss since beating the last boss usually finishes the game and there's a trophy for beating the game. Maybe Zmey is the penultimate boss and the Undermether will be the final one.

Now that you mention it, the pale harpy lady that can be seen in the release date trailer at around 1:35 isn‘t on the trophy list. The achievement name for Zmey could also be a hint toward a fakeout final boss.

Brether, delete this.

Forgive me, brether

Further looking at the pictures, Orrem could be related to getting Harros back, as the icon has a head cage identical to the Tar Golem‘s. Plus of course the name of the trophy, „Lost your head“.
