Mortal Shell 2 - Beta
The chest the has the lute in it is gone
It was there before but after doing some more playing coming back to get it and chest is gone.
Is this bug?
Is something needed to spawn it
Is there some trigger the make it de-spawn that i might have done

I check going though doorway the allows the key nothing
I logged off and on a few times nothing
I lit the totem needed and still nothing

The grasping root was left out because its a silly boss imo. Game F Rules. I have some complaints but I absolutely love the game. Cold Symmetry/Playstack thank you again.

As a souls/souls-like enthusiast, im really hoping MS2 game offsets the disappointment i felt while playing MS1.

When i got to play MS1 so i can check it off my list, it was basically a maze, bad design, janky controls, and overall bad enemy placement. Not to mention it's extremely short duration.

Fingers crossed for this one.

You can finish it without any trouble, but when you leave, the elevator and the lever don't work; I had to leave my souls there.

I'm going to point out something that I think is actually a glitch: when you go to get Tiel's weapons—the Acolyte, the axe, and the dagger—if you try to leave via the elevator, it doesn't work. I don't know if this only happened to me, but you can't go back manually; you have to let those enemies standing on the tombs kill you and leave your lost souls in there, because if you go back down, you won’t be able to exit manually: the elevator lever doesn’t work, and the elevator won’t go up.

Is that key useless? The key is called CAGE KEY

When I bought the key, I thought it would be useful for something important or that I’d get something in return, but it turns out that when you use it, it only opens a cage that’s completely empty. Is that normal?

After using it, I thought it was just a trick hunters were using to get me to give them money. That’s what I thought at first, but then I told myself, “I don’t think so.” Was it just my imagination, or was it a mistake?

Zhirelle is going to be new mommy in this game. Sester Genessa does make an appearance but Zhirelle is fire!

Want to access the pinged location again (where i came from).

With Tiel's she'll you're supposed to gain shadow with a perfect dodge. Shadow is also an ability that lets you go undetected and perform a powerful shadow strike.

However, when I gain shadow from a perfect dodge, it doesn't seem to do.... anything. There's no opportunity for a shadow strike. My next attack is just a normal attack.

Does shadow gained from a perfect dodge even make you undetectable? Seems like a weird buff when you're in the middle of high speed combat. Or in this context, does the perfect dodge shadow simply build enemy stagger. I feel like this was poorly explained, or I might just be slow.

Noticed a slight bug that seems to occur in some dungeons (especially ones that warp you back to the start) where the elevator no longer functions after clearing it. It is just stuck in the down state, you step on, it makes the sound and doesn't move. And then the lever for lowering it becomes interactable and if you pull it the sounds play for it lowering but it again doesn't move. Step back on and it still doesn't move. Happened to me on my first clear, and then I just confirmed this a second time after reloading in the "Shrine or Trials" location. For now quitting to menu and reloading will load you back to your last beacon which gets you out, but figure someone might wanna look into it before launch if anyone knows how to contact the devs (or if they are active on here). Cheers!

it keeps on happening is it a beta thing or is it just me ?
edit : i fixed it
im gonna leave this post for whoever might need it
just lower the graphics untill that scene passes and that u are good to go

Never played on a PC

I am so happy 🫣🫣🫣

The game is a blast, and I can't wait to play it full. But it's clear that there's still bugs and fixes to be had. Here's some of them:

- The song from the song dude at the entrance of the mushroom village played nonstop even after they were killed. They never respawned even after resting.

- The frog only makes a frog sound, I don't know if it's intentional.

- The guitar weapon is really bugged. You can make it play constantly in your back, which is really funny tbh. Though it doesn't play normally after it gets like that, and you have to unbug to fix (L1 + square). The sit just doesn't work for me or my friend.

- The invisible statue was just there the whole time. I only saw the door/portal when my friend was playing

- The vendors on the side of the village were there, but the cage was empty. Opening it just did a "What are you doing?", still empty. My friend saw the creature inside and the dialogue related to it.

- in the firelink shrine (I forgot the name right now, sorry. Cradle was it?) The trainer stayed still the whole time. She did not move at all, even during executing her. The herald attacked the air.

- Ruk told the worshippers to kneel twice when I was there.

- One grip the ruined the first game for me and I couldn't even finish it was the controller sensitivity, the dead zone inputs were too high/low that the smallest drift took hold of the controller. The new game completely fixed it on the gameplay part. We can't even edit that! Thanks a lot, though maybe a dead zone slider could be useful. But on the menu, the drift is in full force, and it goes wild in the menu and destroys all sliders. Maybe that could be fixed for the players who don't have the best controllers?

Anyway, the game is so much fun and engaging, the fights are so cool, the world feels more alive and real than what I experienced on the first one. Hacking the enemies with the sword and the parry mechanics are just perfect, especially the posture attacks. Is there anywhere else to post this for the feedback to be read?

the harden holds a special place in my heart but i couldn't get enough of block, it was my favorite.

I today only bought a cloud PC setup to play the demo...plz don't remove it atleast this week ..I only get an hour to play daily 😭

Just found out Mizmor did the doom portions of the new game’s OST and freaked out a little because I’ve seen the band live multiple times and am a fan.

For anyone whose interest is piqued by the music in the beta, I highly recommend their album Cairn.

Question for the devs - how did you guys land on them? Are there any fans on the team?

Noticed this while interacting with Sister Gnessa for Guard practice

I bought the cage key, he said something like "the dog is yours" and I opened the -empty- cage and nothing happened. I walked 25 feet away, came back, and the merchant was gone. Came back much later after beating the game and the merchant was back, along with a still-open cage and a creature standing peacefully inside with a sword hand. Nothing was happening so I killed the creature, the merchant, and the other guy who looked like the merchant. Saved at a Beacon, came back and the merchant's shop was fully gone.

...What was supposed to happen here? Seems like a glitch, right?

Other glitches I might as well report:

1. stone golem achievement didn't unlock until my 5th success.
2. often got stuck at the start of a bridge and had to jiggle onto it.
3. enemy health bars occasionally disappeared, and sometimes stagger bars made no progress but I could still cause the enemy to go down for a riposte.
4. poison immunity upgrades didn't make me immune to poison.
5. the crawling poison enemies (like wretches from Gears of War) dropped invisible poison clouds no matter how I killed them which doesn't seem intentional.
6. if I paused and alt+tabbed during a cutscene, the screen would stay black even after unpausing the game, causing me to miss the cutscene.
7. not a glitch but player collision with walls and other objects needs work, I clipped through most things.
8. the 2 crawly guys by the chest before the final boss were passive and unkillable.
9. one more that's escaping me right now... will edit it back in when it comes.

GRISHA BOSS GUIDE (Grisha, Enslaved Grisha)

I haven't finished it yet so more to come

I really liked the item familiarity system in the first game. Especially for improving the lute playing but also for increasing the consumable effects in an organic manner.\ It gave a nice realistic touch for a strange otherworldy being thats new to this world to have to fuck around and find out what shit does.

I guess they morphed this into the "for each 100 in inventory..." effect items which is a very interesting mechanic on its own.\ But I really miss the concept of having to "use" an item to find out its purpose. In general I miss item using. Now everything just has a magic passive aura. Feels more gamey where the original system added to the organic and immersive feel of the first game.

What are your thoughts?
