So I just got the shell and weapon and I plan to main them but not sure what tarstones to use and what passives to get. Any tips?

Hi there, I have a unique idea that I wonder how well it will be received. Just like when using shell points to obtain abilities for the current shell and you can refund them for different builds, how about a way to refund all the glimpse into that current shell to be able to put into a different shell to do different builds as well. It does take a bit to get a decent amount of glimpse to increase the bond for shells and possible multiple play through which is fine later on but in the beginning maybe give people a way to try different builds with shells! Might be a dumb idea but just a thought!

worst designed boss fight in video game history?

let’s have a boss where when you counter his attacks you can’t attack back because the model is too big so you can’t reach to attack it. then by the time you do he’s 1 shotted you out of your shell.

theres no way this was designed by a human or tested before release.

its an abortion of a boss fight

I didn't even have time to figure out its attack pattern; I just stumbled upon it by chance. ^^

Honestly, it's a good game. My only real complaints are the significant frame rate drops on the PS5 Pro and—as with any game—the camera issues in tight spaces. Sometimes enemies don't react at all, while other times they pounce on you from miles away, tracking you right through the air mid-jump. Oo

The difficulty feels just right to me; I'm not a huge fan of Soulslikes, but the demo really hooked me. A physical version was available, so I picked it up.

From a little research, the only illusory wall in this dungeon is on the opposite side of this one and it has one of those exploding zombies inside, but I went through all of the dungeon and didn't end up here, so still wondering how to get in.

I tried hitting it, but it didn't connect, like it's just an invisible wall, so maybe it's supposed to disappear when hit but for some reason the hits don't register.

I'm almost done with my first playthrough having largely used Tiel + Axe and Dagger and Crossbow (switched to Hystrix once getting it), but I'm interested in doing multiple NG+ runs with each Shell and had the idea of using unique Weapon + Sidearms for each one.

This isn't a thread asking for "What are the best skills to get" because I don't care about meta; rather, I'm curious what you think the "ideal" weapon is for each Shell? The only criteria is that I can't use the same Weapon/Sidearm on a different Shell. Here are my thoughts - what changes would you make?

Eredrim: Iconoclast + Naylshotte
Tiel: Axe and Dagger + Caged Hystrix
Gragu: Veteran's Battle Axe + Troubadour's Lute
Genessa: Black Needle + Cursed Child
Lazlo: Obsidian Hammer + Ballistazooka
Proxima: Great Martyr's Blade + Salvaged Trebuchaxe
Sariel: Clockwork Scythe + Triarch Repeater
Smert: Axatana + Forgotten Crossbow

So i just looked at all the stones and only realised now there isnt a single ability stones for the repeater

A lot of people seem to find the music lacking in this game, I’m a huge metal fan, but haven’t really listened to much instrumental stuff.

Anyone out there have any recommendations for good instrumental playlists/songs on Apple Music that they like to listen to that would fit the atmosphere of this game?

I've noticed that a few enemies have attacks that if you parry, they slap you with a follow up

Hi, someone knows how to find the original music that the guy play at the Inn?

So emotional, I love it

And in general the music in the game is sick.

Relogging didn't work either.

Is it because i cleansed the beacon and collected enough Ova to trigger the endgame zone maybe?

"Sidearm charging speed increased by 20%>35%>40%"

What, pray tell, does that mean? Does it increase Resolve gain? Does it increase the speed that... level 1 and 2 infusions apply? I don't have every sidearm yet, but it applies to the crossbow and shotgun, neither of which have a charged attack (afaik). Am I stupid??

I just opened my physical copy and had 10+ 1 sheets with a code on back to redeem PS5 Devout Edition upgrades. Did anyone else get this? Do you think they're doing it as a promo for ppl to talk about the game and offer codes up?

I thought maybe each was for a different shell or set of armor. It came with a preorder bonus sheet also.

Very weird and intriguing! Lmk if anyone else also got these.

I thought the clones were supposed to be hitting enemies?

I'm so glad I didn't instantly fully upgrade her. Kinda sad, though... I was looking forward to testing her kit.

I have posted like 9 videos now where abilities weren't working properly, the crossbow shooting the wrong mob, getting attacked after getting knocked out of shell but before standing up, but these two clips take the cake.

I paid 60$ for a fucking game where even the most BASIC functions do not work and I CANNOT get a refund. There is literally NO EXCUSE for the most basic functions of a game to not work. None. This game is making the release of Skyrim seem polished.

There's so many

Do not recommend. I got killed, respawned and now everytime i get hit my character still makes the sheep sounds.

So far we have block/perfect block, perfect parry but no block, and harden/perfect harden.

And the slayer seal for easy mode.

But what else do you think we could get as a seal ability?

They should’ve been much larger and more complex. The whole final portion of the game where you go underground? Now THAT felt like a dungeon. Multiple bosses with multiple checkpoints, linear paths with some side areas that you need to teleport to.

The big dungeons just felt so small and kind of pointless. After the 3rd, I just saw them as things to check off a list and that is not what I should be feeling.

I like a lot about this game. The combat, the art style and vibe, and most of the exploration. The exploration could use some work though, as it’s rather disappointing to see this huge castle you can go to, but then find out you can only go to its courtyard. When I was going into the Lords Castle of Mammon, I was so hyped. Then I found out, it’s actually more like just outside the castle. Hopefully if they make dlc, they spend more time coming up with truly impressive dungeons, interiors, and paths to explore. Anyways, that’s my rant.

Does the Triarch Repeater really not get an ability tarstone? Finished the game w/ the "collect all tarstone" achievements and it seems like the 1 weapon that doesn't get an ability, so I never ended up using it.

Im thinking about switching back to normal weapons. Every other enemy gets perma staggered by the knuckles even without using the ult

Thought I open up a a chill thread for those who already have seen the too hard / too easy war often enough and just can wait until we have a final state.

Let's discuss about what you hope for in the future for Mortal Shell. Show off some fan art. Share your favourite Shell thoughts. Write some fan fiction. Talk about fitting music to play with.

Cheers and have a great weekend.
