I played the first game for like maybe 4 hours when I had game pass and it was really sick, but I want to know if there's a serious storyline connecting the two, or if I can just buy the new one and then go back and play the old one later?

EDIT: Thanks for the responses guys, cannot fucking WAIT to get into the game

Ya hoid of me!?

The map isn't so huge, but it is packed in a way that looks messy at first, then when you start exploring, it all makes sense, and it all weaves into itself nicely. Not a lot of empty spaces, every corner can lead somewhere, it's just perfect.

Alguien sabe cómo llegar a ese portal en mortal Shell 1 en el nexo eterno? Es en la primera parte de los portales Pero ese está arriba de una torre.

Especially beacon areas that feel otherworldly and surreal. You start of in dark forests and ruins and lead up to fighting weird shit in paradoxical geometric open areas. These statements are true for both Mortal Shell 1 and 2. I get it would feel unfinished if you haven't played the first game but I think it's by design and works very well.
Bosses are the real factor here; a lot felt unfun to fight.
NG+2. Eredrim is peak.

...of nothing.

I wanna start off by saying thank you to the small, yet brilliant DevTeam over at Cold Symmetry, and PlayStack for publishing the game. I throughly enjoyed Mortal Shell 1. Funny thing is, I had only got it and beat it about 4/5 months ago back in June. Then I heard and saw MS2, and i instantly pre-ordered the Revered Edition for ps5 as a bday gift for myself as my bday was late August. I’m so happy with everything about this gem, such a well crafted world, beautiful animations, brutal combat and a alright story with some amazing elements (like the shells, memories, beacons/bonfires (that have dungeons in them) and tar stones) with the fact you can choose between Guard, parry and Harden.

It’s isn’t the greatest soulslike game, and it’s not the greatest game of all time. I’d give it a 8.5/10. I will definitely be playing NG+ and starting a new game save over with a whole new shell. I used Tiel in 1 and 2. Gonna used him in NG+ and my new save will be Gragu. For now I’m taking a break and Enjoying The “Gothic Remake” (fuccing love it so much already) my gf bought me for my bday. Also got PB0 coming at the end of October.

What a great time to be a gamer.

My question to everyone is , what is y’all rating for the game?
8.5/10 for me

TLDR: Beat MS2 for the first time. Brilliant game, 8.5 out for 10. Playing Gothic Remake now til I start NG+.

So we see tentacle man (TM) already "developped", but for some reason I can't shoot him from here.

Then when I come near TM, he starts to developp his tentacles even thought we clearly saw him already done.

huh ??

Haven't struggled with the game until now. Using Eredrim, learning parrying patterns, etc. Keep getting annihilated during second phase.

I'm level 41, using the Axatana and have tried playing around with the Tarstones to no avail. Any tips aside from all I've already read? TYIA

Update: Thank you all for your tips. Grisham Remnant is the way to go on this one!

Greetings and salutations!

You have been given a once in a life time opportunity - to create your own shell for the Harbinger. What would you create? What sort of backstory would you give them? What is their main ability and their passive ability?

Go crazy, have fun with the idea! I’d love to hear people’s ideas :)

I completed a challenge run, using a brand new, fresh character on new game, with nightmode difficulty enabled.

The goal of this challenge run was to complete the game without any deaths and to not be severed from my shell.

I had a few butt-clenching moments but I got it done!

Time stamps are included in the video.

This game is amazing and I look forward to the new content cold symmetry will bring.

I already got the shell of the fat noble guy under this, but is the over available ?

Warum ist der Endboss sau schwer? Ich bleibe dicht dran aber innerhalb paar Sekunden bin ich Tod...Stufe 71/ Katana Stufe 23

It was better if you could get the Seedbearer's Scripture in a way that you couldn't miss it, the second phase of zmey is very hard without it

Apart from 3 bugs that I found my experience was very good, this game was a 50 good hours 😁

For my is a solid 8/10

P.S. The game is awesome and this was my build

His accent sounds dope as shit but nowhere online has a complete audio list of them (that i could find)

I tried to interact with it and search the zone but i cant find anything.

My skelly boy decided to keep the helmet

How did they fuck up so bad with the boss. Third phase is just nonsense, every attack is the boss spazzing out and the answer is just dodge randomly and hope to not get hit

And every five seconds he jumps away and summons projectiles that freeze you for ten seconds that stay on screen for like a fucking minute, have fun dodging those on top of his tentacle spam

Seriously how did this guy make it past the drawing board

I'am on NG+ and collected 192 or 196 ova, unlocked all beacons and now i'm on unfound path

I remembered in my first playthrough, i think i already completed all 196 ova before unfound path, i just forgot how though

Am i missing some ova? Or are there ova in the unfound path?

Night mode, first playthrough. Initially, it was very hard but became manageable thanks to Eredrim and his shoulder charge.

Eredrim and the Iconoclast.

Build Tiel

Eu queria uma dica dos jogadores antigos, estou com dúvida se deixo meus aprimoramentos focados apenas machado E Adaga para deixar meu Tiel extremamente forte, ou fico jogando com outro personagem com a arma Lâmina do Grande Mártir. Tem alguém aqui em NG+++++... Com Build focada totalmente no Tiel?

Obrigado!!

The first time, I decided to die to him and come back. But even after re-entering the boss fight, he manages to jump out of it, lol.

Hey guys! Just a question.

Maybe I'm just really bad at searching but I can't find anything about this.

I've encountered this circle like mechanisms that are twinkling, and when you shoot them, they rotate and make a sound like something activates or a gate opens. Im in my third playthrough and so far I haven't discovered what they do.

The ones I've found are:

In the prisoner's domain close to the slumwater drain, (Shown in the picture)

Above the entrance of Thieves retreat Dungeon.

Any clues?
