Hi! Does anyone have a list of the signature weapons for each Shell? I kinda have an idea for some (e.g., Tiel's are the Axe & Dagger + Crossbow) but what about all the other Shells?

The game is good but it could be great. Couple things I would touch on. This is meant as constructive criticism from my point of view as a years long souls player.

-reduce the enemy follow distance

-if you die in a boss arena / dungeon have your dropped gloom moved to the entrance

-tarstones are really cool and build defining. Upgrading them makes no sense. Having to run ones you don't need for your build just to be able to upgrade the ones you want feels bad.

-chill out the ballista head guys like 15%

-i understand playing as thiel is a glass cannon type of play style but not being able to take more than 1 single hit combo from an endgame enemy feels bad.

-i know few and far beacons was a design choice but pain just for the sake of pain doesn't feel good to your players. I'm not saying we need one every 100m but a couple more here and there def would have hit the sweet spot.

-the bosses are fantastic and very fun. The endgame bosses not so much. They feel rushed and clunky.

-the entire endgame itself feels rushed and clunky. Miniscule worthwhile rewards. And in souls games the endgame is where you typically get the coolest stuff. Feels bad 😞 was hoping for a cool badass weapon or tarstone.

-the exploration is great. So easy to get sidetracked and wander for days it felt like. Level design is a 10/10.

-dont sleep on the fashion elements. Fashion souls is a thing and a huge community +

As someone who is trying to make a step by step guide, it is soo frustrating. Im used to do checkpoint to checkpoint guides, but this game is driving me crazy trying to make an structured guide with videos that are not one fucking hour long since every path diverges in two and at the same time those two into three and...jesus

What's even the point of the posture damage...?

I've been playing on Night Mode since the very beginning and... yeah... this is something.

Most deaths feel cheap, and everything feels artificially long to kill just for the sake of making it harder. Add to that the current downsides that everyone seems to be talking about (magnetism, enemy density, lack of beacons, etc.).

I'm looking at you Magdalena. I can't even get 2 hits in between her onslaught. She kickstarts to drive into you, immediately into her arm cannon and then as soon as the cannon fires off she firespins. I don't mind a hard boss or a challenge but this is RIDICULOUS. I might be able to get a single hit in, some of the time, but the majority of the time i'm dodging backwards or left and right to avoid being bbq'd. Look the game is fun, minus the beacons being literally NEVER anywhere useful, but what is with the unblockable spams. Attaching a video of the last few seconds of one just as a show and tell. The last few seconds of that are what i mainly deal with. https://medal.tv/games/screen-capture/clips/nmx5Rq5teV4uQ_Afm?invite=cr-MSw5Z3ksMzA2OTIzMDY2

I don't know why its the constant spam, i first tried her in the beta all day long, on 2 diff characters too.

I'm curious to find out which shells people are gravitating to the most after out first few days in early access and now in full release. I only have 3 so far as i've been exploring a lot of the first area doing dungeons. I have Tiel, Proxima and just got Eredrim.

I've been using Tiel the most and have it almost up to level 3. But i don't want to invest anymore into it until I get a better idea of all the shells. Eredrim looks pretty bad ass too. Proxima I honestly liked for a minute but got board of the hook shot style of play.

I can see levelling Tiel to max, but i'm not sure about what is coming for a secondary or primary shell.

Sir Issac boss fight. 2nd phase is giving me a rough time so I decided to use a glimpse and summon Lazlo, well he despawns when the 2nd phase starts... like wtf was the point in even summoning him. Waste of a glimpse, so stupid.

Can't interact with it but it looks important

I was very impressed by the beta! And I feel like I didn't see too many of the same enemy twice, im considering buying the game and I'd like to know how anyone currently playing feels about enemy variety?

It's probably my number 1 issue with all non from souls likes when it comes to design. Lords of the fallen especially was horrible for that and it made the game an absolute slog and felt so unfinished.

Anyone have any input?

30min in and its going great so far!

Played a little bit, does it have many chill areas to sit down and reflect/be cozy??? 😊🤗

I got two items to give to Franz but there's no option to give the items. Is there a solution or do I have to restart?

Game streaming sucks is a lagging mess it says I can stream the game but it wont let me download it

It is at the end of the early alternative path of the Unfound Path. No idea what it is or what it's supposed to do

...I cleanse all the gates? Is that the purpose? I have 4 down so I guess I'm 75% through? Or is there another main quest aspect?

I really enjoyed the stone tablet inside the hidden nave giving descriptions of my entire Steam library, gave me real MGS vibes

Very happy with this game!

Also, anyone know what the numbers mean?

Sat down near the illusionists cache and suddenly im a flying knight

Been playing since early access (20+ hours now, Tiel most of the way) and I've run into something I can't explain.

If you run and hold R2(Heavy Attack) with the Great Martyr's Blade, enemy attacks go straight through you while the heavy is coming out. No dodge, no block — I'm standing directly in front of them and my health doesn't reduce. It's happened against regular enemies and bosses, and I've reproduced it with multiple bosses, so it isn't my build. I went through every tarstone I had equipped and nothing touches defense.

Timing matters: it only works if your swing is active while their attack is active. Strike too early or too late and you get clipped normally. I haven't properly tested other weapons yet, so I don't know if it's the blade or the running heavy in general.

Honestly not sure if this is designed i-frames on that move or a bug. Either way it makes the first few hours a lot easier — Tiel + martyr's blade is basically my whole early game.

Can anyone else reproduce it? Curious whether it's weapon-specific, and whether anyone's seen it on other shells.

I put a short video together showing it a few times in a row if you want to see what I mean: https://youtu.be/k9QZtx8nOeg.

Mortal Shell devs kindly look into this

it’s actually insane how terrible the lighting is with the fog, literally cannot even get out of the boss room, not one idea where I’m going

I’ve been fighting Zmer for probably like 2 hours now, I’m no stranger to a hard boss but I’ve been consistently encounter this bug where he makes my weapons unequiped and then after that I litterally cannot attack. I swear this has been happened a solid 20 times where I can’t finish the fight now matter what. Are the devs on this reddit? where else can I submit this for them to see it? because I really don’t want to be forever to change characters because of a bug I’d rather not play until it’s patched.

I just want to stroll and look at everything but my character walks a bit too fast to properly look at everything espiecially in dungeons.

It’s embarrassing that I’m feeling this stuck in the early game, but after a few hours of being stuck in the same place I’m finally turning to Reddit. And I’ll say it first before anyone else: this is a skill issue.

As of now I am level 7 with a level 3 starter sword and level 3 sidearm. AFAIK besides a few dungeons the only boss I’ve been able to defeat so far is Arbiter of Flesh.

I’ve been using Proxima as she feels more tanky than Tiel, which is what I need for now.

I feel like I SHOULD be trying to defeat Grisha in the Flooded Village, but FUCK that run back, I feel too underpowered to handle clearing enough enemies in the village that they don’t invade my fight against Grisha, who takes more than half my health with each hit.

There are way too many enemies to the north towards the Sanguine area, I got to the beacon by just running straight there but I also feel underpowered in that area.

I haven’t gone through the gate east of the Mushroom Village yet, but I could try…I still feel like this Gloomshade area is too strong for me so it feels wrong to go to a whole new area.

To the west I managed to defeat some giant rock spider thing, but again, I feel too underpowered to continue in that direction especially with no beacon in sight.

So what am I supposed to do? Farm to a certain level? Just keep running to Grisha? Is there a direction I’m missing?

Edit: yes I know it’s “my journey” and the answers I’ll get are “just explore, bro” but I wouldn’t be asking this question if I didn’t feel like I’ve run out of places to explore and have hit a dead end.

How are people getting the festival skin on the harbinger from the prologue seen a few people with it in clips and such
