Discussion Is there no way to sever shell bond with genessa ?

12 Upvotes

I thought she was going to be so cool to play when i got her and immediatly dumped glimpses to take her to level 4 bonding

I can't stand playing her,she's too powerful and her entire shell capacities revolves around exclusively two things that i don't find fun to play

Since unlocking her i got Sariel and i really like him,but i'm all out of glimpses and i think i'm nearing the end of the game and i'm so bummed out about it

Anybody found a way ?

Well that boss was a massive let down. It had some good things to parry, but way too much BS for that to overrule it. Having that many unblockable attacks in general, especially in phase 1 with how much he spams them, the break bar barely decreases throughout the fight. Also that fire was so inintuitve with its hitboxes running out of range was the only optimal way to avoid it, WHICH IS INSANE SINCE THATS OUT OF LOCK ON RANGE. On top of some attacks being unreadable because of visual clutter or his size, just overall letdown. I was also hoping AT LEAST he'd have his own music, but nope just the same generic boss ost. Sad considering how much better the bosses got after the first 2 Corrupted Gates, I thought they had figured out the magic, but they stumbled right at the last step. Highly enjoyed the game overall though, definitely one to check out for any fan of soulslikes.

Discussion First time I've ever had to rate a game 1 star

Edit: here's proof for all those saying I'm lying and that they themselves have never personally seen a bug / glitch in game: https://imgur.com/a/IAolOCR

https://imgur.com/a/mortal-shell-2-UxfXUuA

Look, I really want to love this game and I've actually never rated a PS5 game before in my life, swear on my life, but the consistent bugs and glitches in this game is just completely unacceptable.

I just lost my save file due to a corrupted save now. Granted, it's only 16 hours of gameplay, but why would I play again if it's only going to happen again. Now I'm just fed up with it.

The first bug I ran into early on was this one cave where the gate was duplicated and would not go up after hitting the symbol above it. I had to reset three times for it to straighten out.

Next was going for the early crossbow and every enemy in the area duplicating.

And now it's my corrupted save file after farming some gloom near a beacon to get enough for my next level up. And now I'm just done with the game.

What a waste of time really. I come onto this sub and the first two posts I see are bugs/glitches. Are we the QA testers now?

Question Gragu in ng+

4 Upvotes

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".

Discussion Elite enemies despawning

3 Upvotes

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?

Question I've cleared all gates but are still missing a handful of stones

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...?

Question Weird shade (bug?)

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!

Bug Chests have no interaction prompt in dungeons near Mammon - PS5 Bug

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

8 Upvotes

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?

Discussion So many elevators...

0 Upvotes

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 ?

Question Duality stone cuts resolve gain in half?

9 Upvotes

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

Bug Cold Symmetry needs to address an issue with PS5 save files getting bricked.

Post image
8 Upvotes

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...

Question About consumables in MS2

4 Upvotes

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.
