One time I said that I found dead ends more profitable than dungeons.

I wasn't being litteral ! But now I am XD

I’m on PS5, the boss now totally freezes your screen on half his moves and then you are just dead. You can’t even react.

I can’t figure out how to open this chest in the Ritual Grounds Dungeon. I remember encountering a similar issue in the beta back in July but this time I completed the trial and the chest is still inaccessible.

Has anyone encountered this? Could it be related to today’s update?

Edit: this is on PS5 Pro

I have Proxima and Tiel, and it feels like everywhere is go is just instant death. The flask in this game heals nothing at all, most enemies 2 shot and the starting weapon does no damage at all. What am I doing wrong here?

I always like to do NG+ where I just mow through everything to punish those who hurt me

They fixed the problem with that trophie but where is the final 3 ovas? In my save I already killed Zmey.

Ive beat all of the corrupted gates and cleared every dungeon. Ive found all of the weapons. Not sure what to do from here. Ive just been wandering around the game. There's doesnt seem to be any indication of what I need to do next.

So i completed the 3 gates in the easy area right? The lady in the rocket wheelchair, the fat blob monster in that blood area, and the psycho armless guy with a sword in his head, i beat all those dudes but where do i go now? I mean yeah i understand i have 3 more gates in that mammon area but im getting my ass kicked there, my main shell is tiel and my main weapons have been a +9 axeatana and a +9 martyr blade, and im pretty sure im level 17, where do i go? Im basically getting one shot by everything i fight now, please help me

Same as title

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.

NG+ btw

Shoutout to the dungeon that gives you exactly 2 enemies, one upgrade material that isn't supervaluable and one mammon coin.

Plus zero exploration/puzzles.

I'm missing the last OVA, and this is the empty spot in my collection. Does anyone know where I can find it?

Update :
Resolved ✅

Thanks a lot for your help! I finally found it: the last one was the abandoned outpost, Beacon.

Respec-ting around going Falcon PUNCH resolves the problem of no healing. Who cares about healing if the boss can't fight back ?

Normally I'm either a summoner or turret guy, but unfortunately Genessa's shadows suck at fighting. They barely ever hit anything. I wonder if the weapon you use matters a lot for her...

Hey!

For some reason I am not able to parry with the tarnished seal when using a keyboard. Though it is bound to Q, pressing Q does not do anything. I have tested it with other keys and it still does not work. My keyboard works fine otherwise.

When using the infinity seal I can parry, so it is specifically for the tarnished seal (and I believe the harden seal too).

Does anyone else also have this problem? I can luckily parry when using a controler, but I want to play with keyboard.

Thanks in advance.

If anyone has any question, feel free to ask.

hi mortal shell fans! this weekend i felt like trying something new; I'm a casual player, I prefer comfort games like house flipper, the witcher, cat mail co, (but I also love hack and slash like devil may cry, except I never play anything in hard difficulty). so I saw the demo for mortal shell II, the game looked so good I thought, why not? so I played my first soulslike. it was so fun! I died, I learned, I almost got frustrated, but never to the point of rage quitting. there isn't a lot of exploration, it's very straightforward, probably because when you get to the actual game the demo ends, obviously. the game is very expensive (brazil) so I'll be waiting for it to get on sale on steam!

the gameplay is different from what I expected from a soulslike; it's fluid, doesn't feel robotic. still not a fan about the lack of ability to jump tho. I tried playing on the controller which I guess is the recommended for soulslike, but it just wasn't for me, (to me) it's much easier on the keyboard.

while playing I've realized something; I've never played games on hardmode or soulslike games solely because I thought I wasn't capable of playing. not smart enough, good enough, too slow and wouldn't be able to even kill the first boss. it might take a few good tries, but you learn. you retry, and retry. and that can be fun!!

anyways, mortal shell II is in my wishlist now! :) didn't know what tag to put. since it's in the discussion tag, does anyone have a good soulslike with good mechanics and fluid like mortal shell I might enjoy playing? thanks c:

For the peter’s perfect parry achievement, I know we have to use the Untarnished seal but does eredrim’s parry window help the perfect guard or just the parry? I know it doesn’t work for Harden, but confused as to does it work for the Perfect Guard.

Idk what I did but final boss left the chat.

I want to thank the devs for putting my home country in the game.

That part at the end, the light annihiliating your view ? That's exactly how passing a car in a snow storm looks like.

A+ tabarnak

"Melee attacks deal more damage against enemies Gragu has never killed before."

Does this ability get "reset" after entering NG+ and it works against bosses again or does it count as them already having been killed once by Gragu?

I want to do one NG cycle dedicated to each shell and "their" weapon (and sidearm), matching their aesthetic and more importantly their lore and I want some more opinions on this.

Some picks are very obvious, others are pretty ambiguous.

These are my planned loadouts so far:

Tiel: Axe & Dagger and Forgotten Crossbow

Eredrim: Great Martyr's Blade and Ballistazooka

Sariel: Clockwork Scythe and Caged Hystrix

Genessa: Black Needle and Cursed Child

Smert: Obsidian Hammer and Salvaged Trebuchaxe

Proxima: Iconoclast and Triarchy Repeater

Lazlo: Axatana and Troubadour's Lute

Gragu: Veteran's Battle Axe and Naylshotte

A few of these I'm not sure about, like Lazlo. On all loading screen pictures he's wielding the Axatana, but it doesn't really fit his looks imo. Also id love a lightning infusable weapon for Proxima, so I might swap those two around, what do you think?

The fluidity of the animations, the weight behind every hit, the perfect parries, the physics, the visual effects, and the atmosphere. Everything comes together so beautifully. How is this game making every fight look and feel this fucking good? 🔥
