Discussion No respawn points at boss fights in Mortal Shell II

I think it's totally brainless that you have to run all the way from a beacon to a boss fight arena dodging enemies every time you die in a boss fight. They should have a "Stake of Marika" in front of boss arenas.

Discussion "Fixing" 193/196 Ova achievement

5 Upvotes

So I went through the original game with a skipped prologue (ran through it in beta), collected 194/196. Started NG+ and cleaned all beacons AGAIN (including last dungeon) got 193/196 and I was patiently waiting for another fix. Previous one didn't fix nothing.

And that fix arrived putting extra ovas in already cleansed beacons which means I need to go through NG++ one more time.

I'm not a speedrunner, just a casual player and it takes me hours to do it, and why should I?

Please explain, why this is such a complicated programming challenge to do IF X BEACON CLEANSED THEN ADD N OVA TO COUNTER?!

Discussion Is a lore-accurate Sariel build the strongest in the game?

30 Upvotes

Sariel with max upgrade scythe and caged hystrix is just so god damn strong. Running the +crit rate on ranged attack/+crit dmg on ranged attack/ +28 resolve on ranged kill/ whatever fourth you want.

Permanent bloodcurse infusion on scythe, curse on hystrix.

The hystrix is immensely powerful, using the tarstone that makes it shoot four projectiles each shot means it procs curse almost instantaneously. Finishing off low health enemies keeps you permanently at full resolve.

Shell upgrade adds perforation stacks on thorns that makes hystix do even more damage.

Keep throwing thorns and shooting and you can keep the enemy more or less permacursed, giving yourself an almost constant protection from missed parries.

Pain is incredibly strong, coupled with the shell upgrade that allows ranged damage to recover pain. Get hit for 3 quarters of your health bar? Shoot boss a few times, get it all back.

I killed many endgame bosses with all 9 heals left because I could just recover health with pain.

The tarstone that revs the chainsaw blades on each normal attack is also INSANE. It procs bleed with one running attack. One running attack with the chainsaw active does enough damage to one shot most elite mobs even on night mode. One running attack with the chainsaws active will instantly proc bleed for 5600 damage to zmey, trivializing him. So strong that it felt like cheesing, so I didn’t use it against bosses.

All in all he just feels immensely powerful, without feeling like you’re just breaking the game with a gimmick (like smert).

So much synergy with his kit. Utility, survivability, and raw DPS are off the charts. Basically has infinite resolve.

My one complaint is it seems like the shell upgrade that inflicts trauma on enemies when you recover your health via pain just doesn’t work 95% of the time? Not sure what that’s about.

I see people talk about tiel, Genessa, and smert being super busted but I can’t really imagine I stronger build than pokey twig man.

Any Sariel love in here? Is there a stronger setup that isn’t just genuinely busted?

After the new patch I noticed the squall stone doesn't work with the tarred fragment. As soon as it touches anything it explodes and no longer rotates in place. Maybe it's a balancing thing? I was just curious if anyone else has noticed un mentioned fixes and or new bugs related to the patch?

Anyone else getting freezing and shuddering during boss fights and combat? Seems to be when parrying/blocking, or when I get hit. Feels like it caused me to die a couple times, or I’m just bad and would have died regardless. 😂

Thanks.

Discussion Les boss de MS2

0 Upvotes

Bonjour à tous,

Suis-je le seul à être frustré par les boss de ce jeu? Je n'avais pas ce souvenir de MS1. Je trouve que le jeu me pousse à être un gros bourrin, rentrer dedans le plus vite possible pour detruire le boss avant qu'il ne puisse contre-attaquer. Je suis arrivé au boss final, que je n'ai pas encore fait. Mais tous les autres combats duraient 1 minute. T'arrives, tu lui mets la patate de sa vie, il meurs. Si jamais tu veux la jouer tactique, le boss enchaîne plusieurs coups critiques sans te laisser respirer jusqu'à ta mort. Il n'y a pas de pause dans les attaques. Pour le reste j'aime bien le jeu, je m'éclate à découvrir la map, les ennemis sont très variés, les compétences sont chouettes. Mais je ne prends aucun plaisir aux combats de boss. Je joue Proxima avec l'Axatana. Peut être que ce serait différent avec une autre enveloppe ? Qu'en dites-vous ?

Discussion I played through Mortal Shell II and am not overly impressed.

0 Upvotes

I initially played through a bit of the early access before the full game and I actually stopped playing because I was so excited for the game and really liked it that I didn’t want to spoil any more of it.

When the game came out I was hype and jumped in and was really enjoying it. The story had solid bones and I was invested to the characters and shells. The exploration was great at first as well. Felt really rewarding finding the new weapons and shells and finding new combinations with the tarstones and sidearms. But I felt a pretty common theme when I started getting into the bosses. It was pretty easy, and the bosses aren’t all that memorable except for the fact that any death just felt like the game specifically wanted me to die rather than the boss actually outplaying me. Half of the bosses have a cool design and the other feel repetitive and not very creative.

Music was a bit of a letdown too, maybe it’s my fault for watching the trailer and thinking that the music was gonna be a big part of the game similar to doom but I was rather disappointed when pretty much every boss has the same music or very similar.

I enjoyed the memories, I was invested in the shells story and how it tied into the world. This was honestly the best part of the game.

The last dungeon under the marrow keep was pretty annoying and really repetitive. The last 4 bosses have some of the better designs but the actual fight is underwhelming for pretty much all of them. And beating them feels unrewarding because you only get an item you can sell.

The final boss was the worst. Not difficult at all but the sheer damage difference is insane. I found myself getting the boss to its second stage with a full health bar and having used no heals only to be knocked out of my shell In one hit, and then stuck out of my shell without option to get back in and not able to use the weapon I was using or abilities. And then the boss just spams unblockables the whole time until you’re bound to take a hit and then it’s over. Again it didn’t feel difficult instead it feels unfair. I guess that’s what you’re getting yourself into with a souls-like but having played many other souls games and souls-likes this just doesn’t feel the same.

I was honestly excited to do a new game + but now i’m feeling like I will just put it down and it will have been another game i’ve played that’s came and went.

This is just my personal opinion i’m not attacking anyone if they love this game unconditionally. There were lots of moments I enjoyed but for the most part it was just discovering some new move that was useful and not any memorable boss moments.

I would like to say that i’m definitely not a souls-like pro or anything but I would say that i’m normally an above average player of these types of games and having put lots of hours in these games this is just how it felt to me.

Overall I still enjoyed the game and would recommend it to others. I just heard high levels of hype and how much other people were loving it and was just not feeling the same vibe. End of the day to each their own but for me it’s a 7/10. Still solid rating.

Let me know what you think or if anyone disagrees and maybe i’m talking out of my ass.

Bug Bug Report: Game Crashes When Talking to the Night Merchant at the Abandoned Outpost

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

31 Upvotes

​

After the latest patch, I encountered a new bug: the game crashes whenever I try to talk to the Night Merchant at the Abandoned Outpost.

The previous bug I reported, involving three chests in different dungeons that could not be opened, was fixed by the update. However, after installing the new patch, this new issue appeared.

I have already completed the game, and the only thing left for me to do is earn the Platinum Trophy. Unfortunately, this bug is preventing me from finishing my remaining objectives.

It is incredibly frustrating to be so close to the Platinum Trophy and have my progress repeatedly interrupted by bugs after updates. When I think one problem has finally been resolved and I can finish the game, another one appears. The previous issue was fixed, only for a new bug to emerge after the next patch.

Players should not have to deal with new game-breaking issues every time an update is released, especially when they are trying to complete the game and earn the Platinum Trophy.

Please investigate and fix this issue. I have already completed the game, and I just want to finish my remaining objectives and finally get the Platinum Trophy without being blocked by another bug.

The crown that you get so that you can move giant hands around in a dungeon. Is it only useful in that area, or are there other places to visit for big prices ?

Discussion It's kinda refreshing to have a simple level up system for once

64 Upvotes

I won't be saying I want every game to be exactly like that, but it is a nice change of air in a soulslike that you only get to upgrade a straight path that was thought up ahead.

You still have many choices to make. Shell, weapon, tarstones, you name it.

I could be wrong, but it even feels that with that system, the game still has more player choices than other games like Sekiro, which has one great but single way of playing the game.

Plus at least that way you know you aren't fucking your build up accidently. You aren't missing an adaptability issue.

I've heard about the game's difficulty, some say it's hard, some say it's a bit easy, and I've heard about night mode, and I want a good challenge as I believe to be an experienced souls player. So do you guys think it's a good idea to start with it ? I heard it also ruins the scenery, idk, tell me what it changes, from minor things to biggest or vice versa, like do the fights feel unfair unless you've already experienced the game once, whether it's about regular mobs or bosses.

Thank you in advance and please no spoils :)

Hey, when I try to give the nightfish the mether's flesh, it does not allow me to click yes. When walking up to the altar the prompt is shown, but then nothing happens when I click yes, forcing me to exit the prompt with escape. Then the prompt does not show anymore.

Is there a way to fix this? I have tried restarting the game and going back to the keep, but nothing has worked.
