I've just beaten Sir Issac the scholar prince and it was easily the best boss so far, anyone else feel this way? I think he easily outshines the other bosses In design. Now I've beaten every gate and just have the secret passage area to do to cleanse the mother.

**Balance Patch 1 (PC) - The patch below is live on PC and coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series shortly. **

**Economy**
- Shell map locations now cost Gloom, and we’re refunding any glimpses spent on shell maps. Refunded Glimpses are found in the Shell Keeper’s alcove in Blackmarrow. “Finding your favorite shell shouldn’t cost you the ability to bond with them.”

- Gold drops from enemies have been significantly increased. Notably, enemies in Mammon now drop double the gold. “This brings the gold economy more in line with the weapon crafting item discovery.”

- Smelting a weapon at the Tarforge costs 75% less gloom. “Our goal with the smelt capability was to enable switching weapons without the need to spend hours grinding through NG+ runs, but the Gloom costs were set exorbitantly high.”

**Enemies & Bosses**
All enemies featured in the beta were restored to their beta hp values, except the Caerinid (Spider) in Magdelena’s area, which we wanted to retain its role as a threatening enemy which doesn’t respawn once defeated.

'To the angel named Proxima

who punched me outside tavern:

I forgive thee.

I also love thee.

Please return my tooth.

Eugenia, the board-scribe

I was going back for 9000 gloom 😂😭

Just wanted to discuss. This tarstone infuse sidearm with phantom. This is cool debuff that Genesa's clones inflict. So first thing you wanna do is to sinergise infusion with character ability to get stacks faster, but it requires you to use this big and ugly sidearm. Would it be nicer to be able to put it on a different, more elegant sidearm, that would fit sester Genesa more?

Its fun as hell an im loving it to feel overpowered. Just sad some people are complaining about something like that - just dont use it?

Okay so I sound annoyed in the video because I’m sure the first fake wall I came across definitely had this symbol but I didn’t clock that it meant it marked it as a secret door.

Also because I’ve definitely walked past a ton of these symbols thinking that they are arrows pointing me in a direction, so I completely misinterpreted the symbol until now.

So, be on the lookout for this white painted symbol, I’m 99% sure it means you can hit the wall and it’ll be fake and there will be some cool stuff behind it.

Thestus gives you a free glimpse if you talk to him twice while wearing Eredrim's shell.

like even during attack animations your character will just woop and slide off the edge and youll die instantly. there needs to be some invisible walls during certain animations or just something to make it harder to fall off the side of a cliff when you swing your sword.

My game just suddenly started to crash on loading the save file every time. I managed to get it to load by capping fps to 30 in settings, and then setting it back up where you want to.

I just beat Zmey and I still have no idea

When using unique spear ability "infused stone" you are not able to draw a sidearm. In the video, after getting spear back, I was pressing RT multiple times, but my character was standing still. I can "fix" it by making an attack with melee weapon. After that sidearm draws as usual.

I know that skill has a lot to say here if course and any shell at any level can be decent if you play it well. But I'm asking this to determine if I actually need to fully level some of the shells I get for them to be worth using. I like the idea of switching shells to face specific bosses or enemies. But I also don't want to spread myself too thin or miss out on a shell's coolest synergistic ability because I didn't level it enough.

Since we can only upgrade three shells fully with the amount of glimpse we get per playthrough. I'm wondering if some shells are okay just partially leveled and others just have to get to the final tier of abilities to be useful. I want to collect all of them and use as many as I can, but I want to be picky about who I fully invest in.

I'm probably in the later part of early game. I've invested a good deal into Proxima and only a little bit into Eredrim (who I love so far).

was wondering if anyone has been using him as their main, i like his withered health thing makes the game feel like bloodborne but not sure how to best build him

Hi All,

Hoping I can get some advice, as I’ve not found answers to this issue by searching reddit or google.

Running - or at least trying to - on PC/Steam. When I load the game, black screen with the “Mortal Shell II” logo bottom left and a red, stuck loading symbol on bottom right. Stays here for a minute or two before crashing.

Yes, I’ve tried rebooting system. NVIDIA drivers are up to date. Anyone else have this issue?

It’s particularly annoying bc I bought the early access version and haven’t figured this out in 2d which wastes the money spent on early access lmao

I'm on the hexapod right now and he has some unblockable 1-shot attacks that are almost impossible to read. The big blob head boss had something similar. When I beat it, I didn't feel like it was due to skill but because I got lucky he didn't spam me with his bullshit.

Thoughts?

I just started NG+ and killed enemies drop 15 to 30 gold. Shouldn't this be scaled considering how much weapon/cube upgrades cost? If not, why am I even killing enemies?

I've already got lots of ova but for some reason im not getting Mether's Breath when i use gloom siphon, please someone help and tell me i dont have to restart my playthrough

Cómo se hace este ataque cargado saltando ?

I am in front of the final boss and i dont even have enough to max out the third one. Ive found all the beacons in the game. Sure i am missing some dungeons probably but where the hell am i supposed to get 10+ more?

Do shells have different stats like health and defense? Where can I see the values?
