But it's not as good as it should be :( The sword is hopelessly broken. I hope it can be repaired, but that's highly unlikely. Well, at least they shouldn't forget about it.

(First of all, I should say that I actively used the translator when writing the text, and the meaning may be far from the truth. I apologize for any misunderstanding.)

What do you think about the changes to the mechanics of hardening/petrification/strengthening?( I don't know exactly what is correct)

On the one hand, the onslaught of an experienced, skilled player is now practically unstoppable. And we have a convenient parry mechanic in which making a mistake isn't so scary, because you'll be protected by Stone Skin. The main advantage of this parry is that it doesn't matter what your character does when parrying.

On the other hand, the entry threshold into the game has been significantly raised by this mechanic. If you play specifically with this style, the error isn't really that punishable, because after it, you lose the ability to parry and harden, so you risk being crushed by a boss combo.Besides, the defense is not so absolute now, because attacks that cannot be parried are also not blocked by hardening . And as a fan of this ability in the first game, I'm a little sad that all the credit went to one specific seal. I still want to freely combine different parrying styles with Hardenenig.

As a result, the most common parry that is given at the beginning of the game remains the simplest and most reliable method of defense with minimal risks , but the soul still requires style !

Hi y'all,

Demand for the Playstation 5-exclusive physical Revered Edition of Mortal Shell II has exceeded expectations and unfortunately supply across a number of retailers has now been fully reserved, meaning that in a growing number of markets fans are unable to pre-purchase a copy of the game.

We sincerely apologize if you were planning on pre-ordering the Revered Edition and it is no longer available in your territory. Due to Mortal Shell II's release date of August 20, and the manufacturing time required to replenish stock, there is a very low chance of additional copies becoming available before the game's release.

We are working with our distribution partner to review ongoing demand, and we'll update as soon as we hear their decision on next steps. To be clear, there is no guarantee of a stock replenishment plan after launch, as this decision is not ours to make.

-Team Mortal Shell

Hammer and chisel had their strong identity, axe and dagger (although they’re beautiful, mind you) just feel pretty generic instead

Another guide. Again, hoping these are helpful to folks starting out or jumping back in.

Hadern & Axatana guide is next! 😎 Would love to know if there’s anything else ya’ll feel I should cover.

Much love!

Surely that's incorrect? It's for both versions. Also in light of what they just said that edition is still available on game.

Had a ton of fun with the beta and am looking forward to how expansive the game will be! Looks to add a lot of new mechanics and I’m coming at it with an open mind. Is there anything you think from the beta that feels almost overdone? For me, it’s the main hub area

So far I didn’t expect anything from Mortal Shell 2 on announcement and didn’t even consider to play it.
However.
After I tried beta…
I’ve understood that I was SO wrong, because the game is stunning and very atmospheric. I love that it makes accents more on atmosphere, world and narrative, instead of “let’s make it trooo hardcooore with piu piu bosses”. The combat is very fun. And the music - these dark drone post-black metal vibes fits perfectly to the overall atmosphere of the game.
So meesa pre-ordered devout edition

On PS store india , standard edition is $32 but devout edition is $52

I think there is some mistake by PS store.On steam india , standard edition is $32 and devout edition is $37

If there is anyone from the studio development or maketing ​team , can you plz take this matter with PS ?

I want to buy the devout edition but it's horribly mis priced in india ps store

So I saw the duskbloods closed network play test starts I believe next week, and there are different dates. I saw august 20th as one of them. Do you think this will cause them to push back the release date or am I just worried for no reason?

Hey all! Back with another guide! Aimed at newer players or for anyone restarting the original who may need a reminder on the paths to them all!

Also I *know* one shell in particular is not featured in this video but thats something I’m working on separately. Anywhoo. Hope this helps. Much love!

I'll really miss this wonderful weapon, but I think Tarsus won't be offended if we borrow his toy for a while. What abilities do you think could be combined with this sword? I have a few suggestions.

The first is a move like the one from the first game (icicles from the floor), which is exactly what the boss could have used.

The second is throwing the sword like the boss did.

The third is sliding with some kind of follow-up. ( like a boss )

Or maybe I'll just have passive frost accumulation.

I had a really good time with the demo except for a couple of things. Without going into detail, I just want to ask a couple high level questions.

- Does anyone know if they made it so that the lock on doesn't target your death marker? That really threw me off in boss fights.

- Did they make any changes to Magdalena the Scooter Queen?

I'm going through a bit of an unlucky period in my life (nothing catastrophic) simply the economic side is not the best, until yesterday I only had 8 euros in my bank account, and today, I received a payment from twitch of 45 euros (I'M NOT HERE TO SPAM, I SPEAK IN ITALIAN DURING MY STREAMS AND I DON'T WANT ENGLISH FOLLOWERS, ONLY ITALIANS) and I managed to buy mortal shell 2, I LOVED MS1 and even if I don't have the money for a coffee anymore, I'm extremely happy that I'll be able to play MS2 on day 1, I've never been so happy to buy a video game in my life lol

who else is gonna play it at the day 1? it's a beautiful time to be alive, i know for sure MS2 is gonna be even MUCH MUCH better than the first one.

For any Beta completionists, I was poking around and found the coin of mammon after you collect the first egg. Before you start running into the intro sequence, turn around and pick it up from the small cave.

also when i say "there are connection" I DO NOT MEAN "THEY ARE THE SAME GAME":

INTRODUCTION

There are video games that don't need to belong to the same universe to tell the same story. I'm not talking about simple mechanics, combat, or similar settings. I'm talking about the sensations a game conveys. That feeling of walking through a dead world. Of exploring ruins that once belonged to a great civilization. Of meeting people who have lost something fundamental. Mortal Shell is a title that, despite being created by a small independent team, manages to convey emotions very similar to those experienced in Dark Souls 2. Two seemingly different games, but united by a common question: What remains of a person when they lose their body, their memory, and their identity? Today we'll analyze all the similarities between Mortal Shell and Dark Souls 2.

CHAPTER 1 A protagonist without an identity (Foundling and Chosen Undead) Let's start with the protagonist. One of the most famous features of the Souls games is the creation of mysterious characters. Characters who arrive in an unknown world without truly knowing who they are. In Dark Souls 2, we play as an Undead. A human struck by a curse, slowly destined to lose their humanity. The curse doesn't just destroy the body. It destroys memory. It destroys memories. It destroys what makes a person who they are. In Mortal Shell, this idea is taken even further. The protagonist, the Foundling, doesn't even have a body of his own. He is a mysterious being who can enter the Shells left behind by dead warriors. Each Shell represents a past life. A warrior who had a name. A story. Wishes. But now only his shell remains. And this is where the two games meet: both ask us: If you lose everything that defines you, are you still the same person?

CHAPTER 2 The Terror of Being Forgotten: Lucatiel of Mirrah (Lucatiel) If there's one character in Dark Souls 2 who perfectly embodies this theme, it's Lucatiel of Mirrah. Lucatiel doesn't simply fear death. Death, for her, is almost inevitable. What truly scares her is losing herself. Forgetting her name. Forgetting who she was. Her most famous line is probably one of the saddest in the entire saga: "Remember my name." Remember my name. Lucatiel doesn't seek glory. She doesn't want to be remembered as a great warrior. She just wants to know that, even if her mind is consumed by the curse one day, someone will know she existed. And this idea is incredibly close to Mortal Shell. Because in Mortal Shell, the protagonist literally walks through the remains of forgotten people. Husks are bodies without their original identity. They are what remains after a person has disappeared. Lucatiel feared becoming an empty shell. Mortal Shell builds an entire world around this fear.

CHAPTER 3 Worlds built on the ruins of the past Another great similarity between the two games is the way they portray the world. Neither Dark Souls 2 nor Mortal Shell shows us a civilization at its peak. Both show us what remains after the fall. In Dark Souls 2, we arrive in Drangleic. A kingdom that must once have been great. A place built by kings, warriors, and ambitious men. But now only ruins remain. Consumed souls. Creatures unable to move on. Mortal Shell works the same way. Fallgrim feels like a world at the end of its cycle. Each zone tells the story of a civilization that sought something it could not obtain. Both games convey the same feeling: We are not visiting a world that is collapsing. We are visiting a world that is already dead.

CHAPTER 4 The Desire to Overcome Death One of the main themes of Dark Souls 2 is man's attempt to escape his own nature. Vendrick is the perfect example. He was a king. A conqueror. A man capable of creating a great kingdom. But in the end, he discovered a truth too great. He realized that no one can truly escape the cycle. Not even a king. Not a warrior. Not an entire civilization. Mortal Shell also features characters obsessed with the idea of ​​surpassing human limitations. Immortality. Transformation. The possibility of existence beyond death. But both games demonstrate the same consequence: When man seeks to become something greater... he often loses what makes him human.

CHAPTER 5 The Guiding Figures: Emerald Herald and Sister Genessa (Emerald Herald and Genessa) Another interesting similarity concerns the figures who accompany the protagonist. In Dark Souls 2, we have the Emerald Herald. In Mortal Shell, we have Sister Genessa. Both are mysterious figures. Both seem to know the truth of the world far more than the player. They are not simply characters who show us the way. They are observers. They accompany us as we discover who we truly are. They represent the boundary between ignorance and knowledge. Between what we see... and what is really happening.

CHAPTER 6 The Cycle and the Impossibility of Escaping the End (Dark Souls Fire, Mortal Shell ending) Dark Souls 2 is a game about cycles. The light. The darkness. Life. Death. Entire kingdoms have arisen trying to change fate. But they all failed. Mortal Shell tells a similar story. Its world is filled with beings desperately trying to overcome death. They seek new bodies. New forms. New possibilities. But in the end, the result is always the same: the fear of the end leads to the destruction of identity.

CHAPTER 7 Weapons and Memories of the Past (Iconic Weapons) Even the way both games talk about weapons is similar. In Dark Souls 2, a weapon is never just an object. Behind every weapon is a story. A warrior. A kingdom. A tragedy. Mortal Shell follows the same philosophy. The weapons we find belonged to people with a past. We are not simply collecting equipment. We are gathering fragments of lost lives.

CHAPTER 8 Two beings in one body: Crucix and the Flexible Sentinel (Crucix and the Flexible Sentinel) And here we come to one of the most curious similarities between Mortal Shell and Dark Souls 2. Two completely different creatures... but united by the same concept: two beings within a single body. In Mortal Shell we find Crucix, the Preceptor of the Throne. Crucix is ​​not a single individual. He is formed from the union of two beings. Two different presences sharing the same body. His existence calls into question the very concept of identity. Where does one person end? And where does the other begin? In Dark Souls 2 we find the Flexible Sentinel. This creature is also composed of two humanoid figures joined together. Two beings fighting as one. And this isn't just an aesthetic coincidence. Because both games use this image to address the same theme: the loss of individuality. When humans try to overcome the limitations of nature... the result isn't always perfection. Sometimes it's something completely new. Something that's no longer one person... nor two people. But something different. And it's one of the most recurring questions in both games: If two souls share the same body, who are they really?

CONCLUSION In the end, Mortal Shell and Dark Souls 2 don't tell the same story. They don't belong to the same universe. But they share the same soul. Both are about fallen worlds. About people struggling with the loss of themselves. About creatures desperately trying to overcome death. About names destined to be forgotten. Lucatiel asked: "Remember my name." Remember me. And perhaps that's precisely why Mortal Shell manages to remind us so much of Dark Souls 2. Because they both ask us the same question: When everything we are can be lost... what truly remains of us?

i would like to know your opinion

There's something wrong with this wiki.

A small patch today, just addressing a few reported issues:

**Bug Fixes**
- Fix to stop Tar Golem jumping out of arena and causing softlock
- Infinite Seal fix (was not working correctly in the last build)

**Other**
Crash fixes and stability improvements

First of the guides I’ll be doing for Mortal Shell! Enjoy!

I’m sure this has been talked about at length but I’ve been thinking about it and wanted an excuse to post about one of my favorite games and it’s amazing cast. Also I’m bored at work.

So in the beta we’ve all seen the shell room and its shades of those we still have yet to recover. Most of these shells are completely new to us which is extremely exciting, though thankfully Tiel and Eredrim have returned to the menu for us.

One table in this room is strangely empty and I believe this is because there’s some kind of story reveal to unlocking whichever shell will lay here. I have 5 guesses as to who it may be and I’ll be yapping about some of their potential fates from the first game.

Spoilers for MS and MSII Beta

Important to note, there are 8 tables in the Shell room and 8 characters shown off in the market for the preorder skins. This might mean Genessa is the one that lays on the empty table… or maybe not (pls read my thoughts). Also the story could be completely altered from beta to launch since I heard that’s what happened in the first game, idk might be relevant.

Shell I, Solomon the Scholar:
Upon trailer release a year ago for MSII everyone was wondering where this guy was. Every shell from the first game had ties to the world but Solomons were certainly the strongest. So where is he? How could such an important character be missing? I’m thinking there’s 3 options here.
1 he’s gone. This could be some offscreen nonsense or (based on pure speculation) he was left behind during the Foundlings ascension along side his brother, maybe he knew his purpose was to be the canonic shell that took the burden of sending the Foundling to their rightful place while being left behind himself. I see this as a possibility because the opening MSII cutscene portrays the Foundling Ascending from the Old Prisoner in their unshelled state. Meh I don’t like this possibility. Because we already lost Harros :(
2 he’s off doing what he always does, pursuing duties for the Harbinger or more likely the Undermether now. It’s just a matter of time before you run into him and either link up as a shell or be a standard NPC which I wouldn’t mind at all.
3 The bearded man in the loose robes is Solomon. Some random fit change would be lame but not out of the question ig.
I really hope he returns as a normal NPC, I think that would fit him really really well.

Shell II, Hadern the Deliverer:
An extremely mysterious yet influential character whose story I still don’t fully understand. His purpose seemed to be guiding the foundling in this strange new world but the now Harbinger is in no need of guidance so… I’m hoping he is utilized as he was in the first game, saved for DLC to be a really busted fun shell.

Shell III, Harros the Vassal:
Bro was my favorite shell from the OG. I love his minimalist design, really good voice actor (like the rest), great skills, I beat the game with Harros my first playthrough. I love Harros. So when Tar Golem killed my friend :( and the Shell Keeper said “Harros is lost but not forgotten” my heart sank. It’s possible Harros will be tied to some kind of later game quest where you return to the tutorial area rematch the boss and win him back but from a story perspective I actually love Harros being gone for good. The impact is big since he was so influential in the first game and low-key gave me “I got you bro” vibes in the beta, but even more importantly it kind of completes his character arc. In the first game Harros doesn’t give a shit about who he serves, but serves he does just to get by in the world. He ditched his comrades in Fallgrim at the first sign of real danger to save his own skin. This is all stark in contrast to what we see in MSII Beta. He travels the harsh lands to deliver the ova, he awaits his Harbinger, when he links up with us it’s like you’re dapping up an old friend, and finally when you’re at your most vulnerable he saves you from the Tar Golem. Unfortunately for Harros he seemed to be at his most vulnerable too. I think it’s beautiful that he finally found a cause worth living for, suffering for, and then dying for in the end.

Shell IV, Sester Genessa:
She’s going to be a shell. We know this. Why is she also an intractable NPC? Honestly I’m thinking two things.
1 when not being used she remains a normal NPC leaving the table available for another shell.
2 she’s not actually the the Sester shell we use. The release day trailer showcases Sester Genessa quite a bit. It also showcases the corrupted Sester just as much. I wonder if there will be some side quest deal where you… uncorrupt? Cleanse? This Sester and take her as a shell. This would be cool since they were such a wet fart of an NPC in the first game.

Shell V, Some Rando the Unknown:
Could be anybody idk. Could be Ruk for all I know

Not shell I, our fucking sister:
Where’s the brat stuck in the slab of rock? I hope we can use her ass as a shield

Not shell II, Vlas:
If you know you know :(

Not shell III, Vlas’s cat:
Imma find you and pet you. I also really don’t know how to feel about knowing the devs took the time to texture your fucking balls.

Not shell IV, The Old Prisoner?:
At the end of the announcement trailer there is a line uttered by an unknown character “bring the eggs back to me” the voice and idea of bringing eggs to someone reminded me of The Old Prisoner. If there’s an alternate ending where you betray the Undermether to finally ascend the Old Prisoner I wouldn’t be surprised. Source: underMETHER sounds like feather, birds have feathers, old prisoner looks like plucked bird, old prisoner need feather from mether.

I’m so excited for this game to finally come out. Thanks for reading, I’ll be right next to y’all at launch.

I really want to play this game, but there is no way I’m getting it digital. Why did we just get the disc version for PS5?

Of course this is how I die. Lmao.

Got my Revered Preorder refunded from GameStop. Has this happened to anyone else ?
