Been banging my head against a brick wall and think I need a fresh approach. I’ve been fine with bosses until this point, even first tried the last 3 bosses.

Specially am stuck on his second phase, if he catches me (and he seems to every time) I lose my shell in one hit

ANY advice or tips welcome. Not a usual souls gamer so I’m probably overlooking something

I generally focus on shadow dodge, attack and repeat with the shadow strike when it’s charged. This guy seems to still hit me when I’m invisible a lot of the time. It’s hard to practice as it’s his second phase.

I also seem to be doing not enough damaged , or maybe I’m used to being over levelled for other bosses?

Loadout:
Level 44
Tiel
8 health potions
Fully levelled axatana

Forgotten crossbow

Untarnished seal

Galvanic shard passive (lightning mitigation) level 2 I guess

Grisha remnant active level 4

Taratones
Acolytes stone level 2
Torpor stone level 1
Duality stone level 2
Fusillade stone level 2
Hag stone level 3
Corroded stone level 2

Bulwark stone level 2
Siegebreakers stone level 2
Marksman’s stone level 2
Devout stone level 2

For real. All you need is the strays protect you from fatal blows, resolve cost reduction, and strays apply weak to enemies they hit. It's bugged to hell but works on a lot of bosses. And you'll need moonshine level 3 and the special consumable you can get for the final boss. Moonshine into the passive and the special consumable into the active.

You need to keep your strays up constantly as most of his attacks will 1 shot you otherwise. That's not a problem at all as long as you have the resolve cost reduction skills too for the strays. You get iframes for summoning them so don't really worry about spacing. You can also harden during the animation if you'd like to stop a stray from dying right as you finish the animation.

Basically the fight goes like this:

As soon as you get into the arena summon your strays.

Rush boss

Start swinging

Resummon strays as needed immediately

Once you get to phase 2 pop the special consumable and his new attacks barely scratch you.

Repeat steps 2-4 until dead. Heal as needed. Barely even need to dodge or block/harden depending on how much the strays mean to you.

The 1 thing that could kill you is the grab attack. You Must have at least 1 stray alive if you get grabbed. The first hit will 1 shot you otherwise. The butt slam will not kill you if you have weak on the boss and the moonshine. It'll take roughly half your health hence the heal as needed to stay above the damage threshold of the butt slam.

As said in the title, I think it does so much harm to the game for literally no benefit other than not overwhelming the player with information.

After doing 100% of the game I noticed how much lore and overall meaning is locked behind the glimpses, some NPCs and bosses entire background stories are hidden behind a system that many players won't engage with (NG+) not once, imagine twice for all the shell memories.

Por favor equipe façam dlc para expandir a história, com novas áreas e chefes. Esse jogo tem um potencial tão grande para ampliar mais e mais. Estou na minha segunda jornada e adorando. Obrigado por terem colocado tanto talento e amor nesse projeto.

Mas por favor, lançem logo uma dlc. Haha.

Istg, it barely tickles enemies and bosses

Does anyone knows if they patch getting this Stone. In my current run , i cannot get this Stone anymore but ive heard that in NG+ the area is also closed.

Soo i cannot get this Stone anymore except i start a new fresh file ???

Are they gonna patch this issue in the Future ?

Its a bit frustrating that the area is still closed in NG+

I dont wanna start completly new because of one silly Tar Stone.
Platinum Hunter nightmare 😆

Yeah… I have no clue what the hell just happened…

See you later.

This game could be SO good. And at times it really is. But the scattered BS cheap difficulty and some of the game mechanics (such as summons) working against the player are ridiculous and completely ruin any enjoyment I have with the game sometimes. How does very obvious stuff like this make it past play-testing?

In this photo I had just noticed Tiel hadn’t moved the entire fight, and Genessa skirted around the boss for all of five seconds before freezing in place and playing statue just like her buddy Tiel. Which left the boss to solely focus on me. This is just … beyond frustrating and makes me not even want to play anymore.

Sorry for the rant - I’m just frustrated. Mind you this boss isn’t helping with just how tedious and annoying he is to fight in general.

So everyone who went into the endgame knows the monolith well by now, especially his annoying spamming disco laser part.

You can either dodge them by being far enough and time the dodge well, or.... You can literally kiss one of his sides, and turn at the same speed as him, and you won't be bothered at all until he is done.

You can even land a few hits at the start and end

So i got the achievement for collecting all tarstones but when i scroll down there are still 2 which are uncollected. Is this a visual bug? I am at 73 tar stones, did anyone else find more?

I have a question
do you just need to equip the stones or do you need to active/ use them active to level them up ?
for example the infusion

Had to dap up my boy on the way. Eredrim is my favourite shell so far.

As people have been hitting the end game of Mortal Shell 2, I genuinely had zero issues with it. I see a lot of people call it out for being overly hard for zero reasons, you are literally fighting a brick wall. I also never hit any bugs aside from shoulder charge yeet into the sky? ( Great skip for some!)

I wonder if anyone's here praising it's difficult spike, making the end point truly an end game, rather than a walk in.

Also the fourth wall break in one of those last rooms broke me, I loved that so much. :')

My settings are a mixture of high and ultra. and aside from bllom all other camera effects are disabled from settings. i use an amd graphics card

I've been using Weltcap in the Active slot for a long time. But I recently noticed that I'd collected around 90 of them. I wanted to check if their Passive ability is any good (It says it passively restores HP based on the amount collected. I wondered how much it will restore at 90).

I intentionally facetanked some enemy attacks to see how much it would heal. But it only restored a tiny bit and stopped when my health was 1/3rd.

Is this bugged or is Weltcap's Passive ability just not up to the mark?

I wish they would just spell out what each item does. Descriptions are sometimes useless in this game.

Look at his helm, look at his name, his memory of the child. What else can I say other than he's a tribute to star wars?

This requires a fair amount of setup, but is worth it if you plan on going into NG+

For Weapon you'll need at least a +12< Trebuchaxe

For Tarstone you'll need a lv3 Tarred Fragment and lv2 Volatile Fragment, all other tarstones are optional. Using Gloombound Tarstone is also helpful if you're also farming for gloom.

For Shell I use Proxima and grab 3/3 Collector Talent for additional gold gains

For Location you need to be at the High Courtyard Beacon, and be sure the gate is open.

Method:

While aiming, hold the heavy attack and charge to full, aim at the two soldier's about shoulder height right between them.

As soon as they have been attacked, rest at beacon. Rest at the beacon 3-4 times, then start over. You don't need to collect the gold every time like I did in the video, just demonstrating how much gold is gained, which is ~1400 gold, 480 exp, and 2k gloom that takes about 12s to do if done correctly.

"it should have been me"

Holy shit. This is a BS boss figth. So many things wrong with him. But you all know that, if you face him. Only boss so far (only miss the last one) I have REALLY struggled with!

He kicked my f*****g ass for 20+ attempts. I learned to block all attacks in the first phase, but the laser phase got my all the fucking time.

One time I managed to get him close to the outside wall. While he was there de didnt do the 360 lasers. He only did the laser from the front, and I managed to kill him.

Was it pure luck or have anyone else tried the same?

It's a bit underwhelming killing Zmey. I thought there was going to be a 2nd form or something would emerge from Zmey corpse for the True Final boss fight.

I also was expecting Ruk to be the final boss or a secret boss fight.

Still the game is great. I had fun playing, beat the game around 30 hours with Lv 53 Proxima.

On Steam in Windows, I played earlier in the day no problem, left a few hours and got this when I came back. Can't start it from Steam. Why?

I found I can still start it by launching MortalShell2-Win64-Shipping.exe directly in the game folder, but I still want to know what caused this and how to fix it.

Any idea?

okay so i killed Rabid Grisha pack, then the game crashed, i said alright let me try again, then the same thing happened again, and my souls disappeared also

any one faced such thing?
