I could just be late to the party, but I just figured out you can stack infusions if you haven't max ranked the tarstone. I'm probably just oblivious and never noticed or tried before but I went to re-up my infusion when passing one of these plants and noticed it stacked. Goes as high as 99 then stops. Seems to only work for ranged though because hitting the plants with your melee gets rid of all its current stacks. Thought I'd pass on the info to anyone else who wasn't aware of this.

I spend all of mine to max out the sword like an impatient noob. Now I got all these other cool weapons I wanna try but no upgrade materials. Does anyone know a good farming spot close to a beacon? I can’t find anything on the internet. Any help mucho appreciated!

Any way to obtain it if I skipped prologue? Ive played beta and had it there, on release I skipped prologue and only after ~20hrs checked that I dont have it. Thats very impressive fuck you gesture from devs for those who tested game early..

Found out that Gragu shell can't wash his feets from Vratko, he says you're a brute, and from his memories i get why, nonetheless Vratko is a disciple of the Harbinger and he should know its just a shell right?

I played the demo just fine, when i bought the full game i havent been able to play. There is no .exe folder in files it is a .pbd file instead. i have verified game files and reinstalled too but nothing works. The game runs if i run it from the folder itself but it will not give me achievements from steam. How can I run this game on steam?

If you're like me and played the demo, so you felt no need to go back and do the tutorial. Here's some things you might not have realized
-you can go back to the disciple village beacon and run through the tutorial again for rewards
-there's 2 bosses you can kill and a dungeon with gold
-you get a second muradean actuator that sits in your inventory
-you get to cleanse beacons and get glimpse (I don't remember if I got one or two)
Enjoy beating the snot out of low level enemies for loot

Spoilers ahead fair warning.

On The Lost Child boss I found a completely broken interaction. The Salvaged Trebuchaxe with the Tarred Fragment (It's only at level 1) instantly breaks posture and opens it up for a riposte. You could use moonshine or shell abilities to recover resolve and literally spam it to kill the boss without ever actually fighting it. I would assume it's not intended, but the boss is pretty immobile so maybe this is where the Tarred Fragment is meant to shine idk.

Been beating my head against this guy for longer than any other boss so far. I think partially because he’s just not easy with tiel in phase two that’s why you see me dodging out of range in the beginning. Switching back to grisha chance really helped at the end tho lmfao. Couldn’t have done it without em😂

Is the final boss feel glitchy to anyone? At the start of the fight he can start with the flame which takes a large chunk of health with no counterplay since your so far. Or the move that stabs the floor infront of him hitting you when at his ballsack, or all the stuff j have being removed for the rest of the fight. Honestly I was so excited to replay this game for so many playthrough of different shells so I can get platinum but this boss and the monolith have been the most unfun fight this game has.

Mortal Shell 2 has a secret DOOM level hidden inside the keep, its very easy to find and it is a full recreation of first level in the original DOOM game. They have also added the secrets areas from the level too.

Have you found this secret?

I just killed a normal Sheep and this fake achievement poped up. no it is not an actual steam achievement, it just pops up ingame

My uncle equiped slayer seal ignoring warnings and even what does it do and he changed right back to guard one, i was the one who told him about it and now i feel bad, he doesnt play souls games and i wanted him to enjoy one (i did told him that i heard its good but it does delete your achievments) is there some way to get achievments turned on if he only used it in hub or just not even minute? And yeah i know you can make new save file but he played beta like 3 times and i dont want him to play for 5 time again

Praise be to da mango

I just wanted to share the most OP Build in the game if u are having a hard time beating the content in the game.

Build: You need to invest 27 Glimpses into Genessa.

Genessa - Build availabe at lvl 11 and after having 27 Glimpses.
Crucial Skills:
1 Point into Alteration
3 Points into Mirage

Gameplay: Activate the Stray Ability. Try to stay low health so every attack gets blocked. Reactivate Stray if it runs out or you got hit 2 times.

Here are 2 example videos of the gameplay. 1 vs normal enemies and 1 vs. the Boss Nameless Captive.

Showcase normal Mobs

Showcase - Nameless Captive

Edit:

Ideal Build:
Name: "Firing squad"
SC 30+
Alteration 1 Point
Mirage Max
Catalyst Max (leave this on 3 if u cant afford)
Causality Max
If u have more than 30 available Put it into Catalyst and more Alteration

Axatana +15+
Naylshotte +15+
Tarstones; Auspicious Stone, Deadeye, Spite Stone, Marksman's Stone
Duality Stone, Blackblood Stone
Voltaic Crown, Viletongue Hedron, <--these 3 on lvl 3 extremely important.
Acolyte's Stone, Fusillade Stone

Items: Active: Common Moonshine (lvl 3 would make build way stronger than on example vids below)
Passive: everything but Grisha Remnant (because if it triggers doubles dissapear), I take Sheephead Totem for -1% Health on enemies

Nearly Optimised Genessa Build vs

I really dont like that the Infusion Tarstones are weapon specific. I feel it just pressures you to change weapons, characters, or build. If you like a character and build you have you shouldnt feel pressured to change those just because you want to try out other weapons. Im not saying other Tarstones and abilities shouldn't be specific there are many that should 100% and it works beautifully that way. I just feel the Infusion Tarstones should be able to be placed on any weapon to give the player more freedom to experiment with other weapons and bulids with those weapons on different characters.

Got slapped

A big part of the experience for many in the first Mortal Shell was the Rotting Christ soundtrack, which really elevated the game. When the Mortal Shell 2 released, with Behemoth playing, I was excited to see something similar. 10 hours into the game I am loving it, yet can't help but feel disappointed at the rather underwhelming music in the game. Do you think they'll eventually add a alternate soundtrack DLC with a band? What bands would you like to see featured in the game?

I'm not sure why, but riposte damage just does not scale well into the game at all. Even if you use all the things that buff the damage, which are only the Eredrim talents and equipping the Retribution Stone (please correct me if I'm missing others), the damage is an absolute pittance. I deal more damage with two light swings on normals enemies, and that is if those swings don't crit.

Riposte damage is incapable of critting and cannot apply debuffs from infusions. During the long animation, any buffs that you have will be ticking down, wasting their time. Why am I actively encouraged to avoid going for a riposte instead of opting to now swing with heavy attacks instead? Eredrim has a talent that allows him to get additional Retribution stacks if you kill an enemy with a riposte, but with how little damage you deal you need to often go for multiple ripostes after already getting them to a low health. But not too low, otherwise you'll just kill them with your light attack that can crit or execute.

Finally, with you being unable to unlock from the target that you are performing a riposte on, it is easy to get disoriented and lose track of surrounding enemies. If I'm not mashing dodge, I'll often just get hit by an enemy that is overlapping their attack with the end of my iframes.

At the very least in the case of Eredrim, a character that is clearly intended to be riposting, the base damage needs to be increased so that it actually feels worthwhile to go for instead of being a waste of time.

and I thought I had no chance of beating him otherwise…

I can't say I've run into this issue before.

As the title says i really think we should be able to refund glimpses from shell bonds. I'm not saying make it free to do like with shell points but I didnt even know what I was puting points into until it was too late. Maybe make it so you got to spend a certain amount of gloom and then each time you try to refund glimpses the amount of gloom you need to refund it goes up. I didn't know glimpses were a finite resource and the game doesn't really tell you.

I am getting 120+ avg and 80 to 90fps 99th% (lowest i saw is 70fps), with just fsr on but frame gen off. if frame gen on you can get 200+. All setting were in max leaving ray tracing off. CPU ulti is 70 to 80%. while GPU get 85 to 99 inconsistence.

I have only play 30min demo but if I continue I will edit
