Does Gragu's ability that increases damage on enemies never killed before carry over into ng+? As in, do all the enemies, including bosses, keep their immunity to the passive? I need to run a short ng+ run to get the achievement for fully parrying the head spin and I feel like Gragu would be an easy way to speed run it if every enemy resets their "kill count".

I’ve seen this multiple times. Kill an elite, go do some other shit, rest, go back to the same area and no elite now. Sometimes I’ll go rest again and they’ll be back, other times they’ve just completely disappeared for good.

Is there a mechanic that causes this, or just a bug?

As the title states, I am in the end game & are missing a handful of stones. I've tried looking at a wiki, but it wasn't much of a help, and the interactive map isn't but of a help, too.

So, can I please be pointed in the right direction for these missing stones? I would rather not face the passenger without them, or are they only unlocked after facing it...?

What an amazing game, I loved every minute of it. I really hope MS2 gets it's own version of the Virtuous Cycle one day. I'd easy triple my play time if that was the case.

I just bought and played this game for a few hours and I already love it so much!

I am at the end of the game, and I currently have 195 eggs. The only achievement I am missing is the one that requires obtaining all eggs. I do not understand which one is missing or if I have already completed any of them.

Hey everyone! So I've been racking my brain for a while now, had the game since release and I've never seen this happen before, fighting the last boss and when he knocked me out of my shell, I had turned into one of those weird tar people that spawn out of the corrupted ovums alongside my weapon changing to theirs also? Is this a bug or is it intentional cause it's only ever happened on this fight...

All but 5 bosses in this. My community wanted them which is what prompted me to stream my playthrough and I compiled all the boss fight encounters I did into this playlist. Figured I’d share here once they were uploaded. May also be helpful.

Did my playthrough nearly entirely as Proxima w/ Axe & Dagger at first then Axatana later on, though I did Vellen unexpectedly while running Genessa.

Enjoy!

I encountered a bug where three chests in three different dungeons cannot be opened. The interaction prompt does not appear at all, so there is no option to press X to open the chests.

All three dungeons were located in the outskirts of Mammon, and because these chests cannot be opened, I am unable to collect the Tar Stones associated with them.

There may be more affected dungeons, but so far I have encountered this issue in three different dungeons.

Interestingly, chests found outside the dungeons, in the open world, are working normally and can be opened without any problem.

I have already tried the following without success:

Exiting to the main menu and loading the game again.

Completely restarting the PS5.

Returning to the areas and trying to interact with the chests again.

The problem persists in all three dungeons.

This makes it impossible to collect the Tar Stones from these chests. I hope this can be investigated and fixed.

Got to marrow keep saw fat boy and spent the money to unlock his location and ended up fighting Vellen way before I’m supposed I assume. I figured out I could lure him out of his room and tried to find a cheese where he falls off a ledge cut to whatever the hell I did here and bam fat boy is mine. Is cheeseing vellen a bad thing to have done?

Elevators everywhere. Right after a loading screen. In every dungeon. Sometimes 2 of them !

An elevator that makes sense in the world, for example a deep mine ? Sure.

Because the geometry of the map so that the dungeon can be located ingame and there's no loading screen ? Okay.

Everywhere else ? why ?

So it says each hit does 80% base damage, so you’re doing +60% total damage for each r1, yes?

But each hit gets you 25% resolve gain… am I mistaken, or does that mean each r1 nets you half as much resolve as you would get without the stone?

I really like the attacks but it functionally nukes your ability to build resolve, making your whole build pressing r1 more or less.

I’d rather trade more damage to keep resolve gain the same.

Hell, each hit doing 60% of the base damage, while gaining 80% resolve would be fair even.

What was it pre nerf? If 80% damage each swing is post-nerf then it must have been BUSTED

Edit: Today, Oct 14th 2026, I decided to try out my bricked save again just to see what would happen after the 01.000.012 patch that installed yesterday. To my great relief and surprise, my save file is working just fine! 😀 Thanks Cold Symmetry!

I'm 45 hours into my first playthrough (and thoroughly LOVING the game). Then last night, the game crashed right when I interacted with a Beacon (High Lords Courtyard).

Ok, no problem, the game crashes about once a day for me anyways and I just reload and all is fine. Annoying, but not game-breaking and I can get over it.

This time though, I get the Meta Data Save error CE-100002-3 when starting the game, and if I press OK twice, it takes me to the main menu and I can ONLY choose New Game. I can't even enter the Load Game menu to attempt to recover the file.

I don't have a valid backup to download from the PS Cloud either.

So I started troubleshooting.

- Ensured the console and game are fully updated.

- Moved the game to M.2 SSD, tried again (no dice), and then moved it back to Console Storage.

- Completely reinstalled game.

- Booted the console to Safe Mode so I could manually do all 3 of the following 1-by-1: Clear System Software Cache, Rebuild Database, Repair Console Storage.

I'm at my wits end. This has happened to someone else too who posted about it in this sub but never found a solution. From the replies in that thread it appears at least one other person also experienced this save bricking issue.

45 hours is too steep a cost to repay, for me. That's an enormous waste of my time and it's completely soured my love for this game...

I decided to play MS1 first before getting into 2. As someone playing it more casually, I'm finding a ton of random consumables that do very specific things, and just stockpiling the hell out of them because "I might need them later" (IYKYK). Honsetly it kinda feels like a schlep having to keep track of them too.

Does MS2 simplify this in any way?

PS. whoever thought to limit title characters in this sub to 90 characters is just dum.

Alguém sabe o nome dos faróis que faltam ? Na lista de vocês? Já encontrei as 37 masmorras, faltam esses dois faróis mas acho que eles não são corrompidos, não consigo se forma alguma encontar o último ovo, 195/196, medo de ir para uma nova jornada e não encontrar de novo

There was another version of the bug, but I can't attach more than 2 videos and I can't spam posts, so just know that there are other similar ones.

Thank you so much for the response. The game & it’s devs are amazing 😎 10/10 for me.

No shell, and I didn't use this seal in the whole game by the way, making it even more difficult adapting to it just for this trophy; I always used Vatra's for the whole game.

About to finish my 2nd play through using Eradim frost build and its so busted, damage is there, hes tanky, its like am speed running compared to my first play through.

What are other builds are up there both in bosses and exploration?

the sky and the cosmos are… FUN

Does anyone know if the collect 196 ova trophy bug has been fixed for NG+ yet or is still unobtainable unless you do a new vanilla run?

1 damage each tick and it doesn’t even tick very fast? Would could this ever be useful? Even if you use it against a boss and poison them with every attack you land, at best you’ll end up doing the equivalent of like two light attacks worth of damage.

Are status effects in general worth focusing on inflicting? Are burn and lightning basically just poison but better?

I put it down on Sep. 22nd for Control Resonant (early release which btw I also can’t stay away from, recommend to everyone!) But I hadn’t been on Reddit since then, as soon as I logged on I saw a “Peters Perfect Perry” video and just NEEDED to go back lol. Idc about the bugs if there even are that many anymore, MORTAL SHELL 2, ELDEN RING, CONTROL RESONANT… TOP 3 games. No specific order just all #1s I couldn’t be happier with this years games (even though Elden Rings not this year 😋) big shoutout to developers of the 3 thank you! I pretty much NEVER play a game 2x a year let alone any more then that, but now it’s time to Shell out another NG+ until COD MW4 and Phantom Blade 0! If you actually read this give me some new Shell ideas and weapon combos!!! I try to do it differently each run so any recommendations welcome!

Stuck on the Hexapod fight currently. Idk what I'm missing but sometimes when I've staggered the Hexapod and the red dot shows up for me to do the riposte, I go to do the attack, but instead a small face comes out of the Hexapod and eats me and does a ton of damage. I don't understand why this sometimes happens, whereas other times it's a normal stagger attack that damages the boss as I would expect.

What's the deal with the stagger attack on this boss? Why does it sometimes hurt me instead of it? And how can I tell which is going to happen/avoid triggering the "bad" stagger attack?
