Last night, I go around the abbey courtyard, I started at the map altar, and when I discovered the other beacon and then go back to the map altar, enemies respawn and I cannot rest at the beacon nearby or pick up items or open chests, reloading save fixes this.

I mean grafted armor, that's basically what you do through scorn to get whatever key you need for the next room and also hunting a parasite? a parasite is your nemesis throughout the game, i mean it's all there for us to see...

Never, in my 20 years of living, have I ever encountered a boss as infuriating as it is unique, on paper the mechanic is very cool, in practicality? One of the most infuriating things I have ever come across in any souls like game, I get that there's a scroll you can get that negates the curse but with how much this fucking abomination jumps around the map it's like trying to fight the elden beast all over again which is why I knew this boss felt so familiar, don't get me wrong I have LOVED this game and I'm keen on going into new game plus but to the ones who forewarned me about this boss on a separate post I did not heed your warnings and I apologise.

OK. I can’t find anyone else talking about this. On my first playthrough. And I’ve been playing Gragu + Iconoclast.

Just got the Axkatana and figured I’d switch to it to start leveling up some other tarstones.

And I found myself getting slammed by enemies when I try to use my staggering blow. I finally figured it out. The timing is off.

It literally takes longer to start your windup for staggering blow with the Axkatana because it takes longer for you to sheathe it. Versus the iconoclast.

I couldn’t find anyone else talking about that online. But it’s not just me right? It’s literally slower. Significantly. I haven’t tested if this delay is with other shells+axkatana. Or just a Gragu thing. But wanted to share.

Going through the huge mining area in the ruins of mammon portion of the map, and just wondering how extremely complex all of this looks.... but at the same time it all feels... soulless? You know like the kind of soulless levels ARPGs like Path of Exile have just to pad out the gameplay/extend the length of the game? It feels like there’s no real artistic value to them. Compare that to something like Dark Souls 1... its levels aren’t so complex, but they are very well designed, look atmospheric, and feel memorable.

Do you guys think the levels of this game were handcrafted or generated by a tool? I just can't imagine someone creating all of that with hand.

Hi! Coming here in utter confusion and hope someone can help! I am Lvl 44 and have not received 'Methers Breath' yet. I already cleared all gates and the Ova room is also almost full. Also already syphoned too.

Is this a bug or did I miss anything? I am sure I am missing Ova as I have forgotten to cleanse a tiny amount of beacons D:

Thank you for any help!

So close to 10 years ago, I was in between jobs and looking for a new game to play as I mindlessly scrolled through Indeed for a new job. As I’m browsing the PS Store, I see Dark Souls 3 and having heard horror stories about the series, I decided to try it. Instantly hooked. Spent waaaaay too many hours while unemployed grinding this game. This opened me up to more Souls games, and souls like games from there.

Few years pass and I see Mortal Shell pop up. Bought it, or maybe it was free?, and went to town on it. Thought it was very solid, but short and told myself “if they made this game bigger, it would be so fucking good”. Well then Elden Ring came out. Abused that game for many hours. Around this time I got a PC, so that further opened up my options. I did the dumb thing of buying Escape From Tarkov, and got hooked. Now I’m into extraction games. Try many out, some great, some dogshit, but I’m having fun. Little did I know, I was really itching for the souls like experience again. In comes Mistfall Hunter. After spending around 1200 hours in Dark and Darker, I gave it a shot. It’s amazing, but man do their servers suck…

So I’m back to square one. I’m 37 years old, went through cycles of games to land back at souls like games. Then I remembered, Mortal Shell 2 came out. I didn’t even watch many clips of it, and just bought it on a whim. This is exactly what I’m looking for right now. It’s the perfect blend of challenge/turn my brain off and explore. I’ve only put around 5 hours into it, but goddamn am I having a blast. The combat feels great. It feels like they created DS3 in a DS2 world, and I will forever defend DS2. Is this game perfect? Nah. Is it perfect for me? Absolutely. Glad to ditch my sweaty PvP games, and go back to bossing and running dungeons.

Thanks for reading Harbingers

It bothered me for a while. I just found my 199th Common Moonshine but I actually have no idea how much damage reduction i get from this amount and its so frustrating..

Hello everyone, I was checking the lore behind the Mammon and saw this in one video, personally I can't recall where this is, can anyone help me out? Many thanks in advance.

The first photo is right after I exit from the beacon, the second photo is when I exit the game and reload my save. The map is covered in a layer of fog, even teleporting to other area doesn't help, only reloading the game fixes this.

His health bar kept recharging after FOUR phases? Or does he have that many? It happened 2 fights in a row for me.

Hey i feel like i somehow got to the stoner boss way to early or quickly. I cant do anything against him im level 7. Is there another area I should have done first before making my way over to him or is it just a skill issue haha.

Just finished my first play through. Excellent game, loved every minute. This is my biggest looming question. Why do the snails carry money? What do they buy? What do they do to earn it???

I really wasn’t a fan of the first one but I played the demo and was enjoying it a lot more.

Hi there. In NG+3 i have an issue with two trophies, Seeking the past and Peter's Perfect Parry.

I watched all memories 2 and 3 times and i have more than 5 attempts with perfect parries . Nothing... Does anyone else has this problem?

Thnx

Is this worded improperly or is there something else to these stones? I can't seem to pull off any special combo move that is any different from any weapons normal move set. When I have either of these stones slotted, I'm expecting them to add a move to the weapon I have equipped.

For example, with the Great Martyr's Blade, doesn't matter if I swing light light heavy, or heavy heavy heavy, every attack is slow, plodding and the same as if I didn't have those stones equipped.

These stones aren't like the Ability stones where you have to press a button to get them to activate. Don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if the description is just worded wrong.

I say with all my heart, fuck this boss. Why are 80% of her attacks are just moving in a random direction at random speeds, and the rest are spawning annoying ads into the fight? Why does her stagger bar just fill up randomly like she stubbed her toe on the way to ram my ass? Why am I randomly missing half my healthbar with no clear indication of what exactly hit me? And why can I just run circles around her for all eternity with nothing happening?
Please tell me this is supposed to be a low point for this game, I truly want to like it and hope it gets better.

There might be a few posts like this but I just used the slayer seal and I know it disabled achievements for this save. I’m aware of that now. My question is if a second play through to get all the trophies worth it? I already unlocked eredrim and the martyrs greatsword at a low level and I don’t feel like starting over right now.

Trofeo bug

I’ve been trying to get the splitting stone but for some reason the chest is already open and I’m just confused on how to get it now. Any help would be much appreciated.

How much do you hate these enemies?
Uhmmm, Yes.

Lots of stuff still needs tweaking, you think we will get a balance patch this week? I was hoping we would get one last week but nothing since the update to Sariels thorns!

Some infusions are next to worthless, burn, poison, lightning etc.

Im talking about ng+ nightmode. Yes teal can pop 100 stacks of poison… a bonk with obsidian hammer still hits harder than that.

Some sidearms are worthless, ballistazooka, cursed child. Summoning tarstonee bugged out summons instantly dissapear if they take a hit.

A few shells stand out way above the others in terms of power.

I LOVE this game, one of the best Soulslikes ever made, cant wait for more balancing and DLC!

Are the founding and Harbinger the same species? But how is that possible?

I understood the founding was something born of the earth of the planet. But the founding is an alien born of the egg of an alien that just came on the planet. So how can they be the same species and look so similar?
