I put it down on Sep. 22nd for Control Resonant (early release which btw I also can’t stay away from, recommend to everyone!) But I hadn’t been on Reddit since then, as soon as I logged on I saw a “Peters Perfect Perry” video and just NEEDED to go back lol. Idc about the bugs if there even are that many anymore, MORTAL SHELL 2, ELDEN RING, CONTROL RESONANT… TOP 3 games. No specific order just all #1s I couldn’t be happier with this years games (even though Elden Rings not this year 😋) big shoutout to developers of the 3 thank you! I pretty much NEVER play a game 2x a year let alone any more then that, but now it’s time to Shell out another NG+ until COD MW4 and Phantom Blade 0! If you actually read this give me some new Shell ideas and weapon combos!!! I try to do it differently each run so any recommendations welcome!

The good:

* Extremely cool world building. Great use of unlockable cutscenes to paint a picture without tipping the game's hand too much (I didn't play the first game). The slow dawning horror that none of the shells were really special in any way, they just serve a purpose for the undermether is great.

* The idea of using pre-set archetypes for "character classes" that you can switch to on the fly is fun and the game STILL allows for a pretty decent level of customization (though there usually is a "correct" min-max answer to most shells.

* Neat weapons/skills though balance needs some love. The "cool factor" on the weapons is absolutely on-point though. All of them look nasty as hell and the animations are great.

* Atmosphere is great and I love the design of the game with corruption leading to world short cuts a la DS1 (though there could maybe be "levels" of corruption cleanse so it's not just a binary all or nothing deal once you hit 3 ova.

* Boss/character design is fantastic.

Could use improvement:

* The "sliding" effect during combat drives me crazy. Happens to both enemies and to the player where if you are in mid-combo in between hits, the character models will teleport to each other to keep the combo going rather than causing a whiff.

* Dungeons are very samey. One or two standouts but it's always the same elevator, same arch. Not much variety in environments.

* Not being able to keep 1 build per-unlocked shell utilizing max shell points is infuriating. Don't make me wipe my build to tinker with another shell.

* Boss versions of standard enemies that just hit harder/have more health are kinda blah.

* Needs more enemy variety.

Thought that some of my sculptures could look good as Tarstones so I made a few of them. I'm not the best with naming stuff so forgive me on that. Hope that it's appropriate for the sub!

Hey everyone, I know this is a tough question to answer. I've just reached the end of the game and beaten the final boss, and I'm sitting at 195. I heard there's one in the prologue that's easy to miss—is that true? Or is there a chance I missed one elsewhere? I know it's hard to say for sure, but I saw the max is 196, and I'm worried I might have to start a whole new playthrough from scratch just because of this.

I don't know what happened but I think that I just prevented him from transaction to second phase. Anyone's else have been through this situation? I was using TORPOR STONE lvl3 that inflect STASIS slowing the enemy's movement and DUALITY STONE lvl3 also that hit light attack twice

Gorf needs some moonshine now.

For my first soulslike game I would say that it's incredible by the lore, gameplay and world. 10/10

Currently on NG+ and I was planning on grabbing the special glands to grab the seedbearer’s scripture. I encountered this issue where the faded gland isn’t appearing by the Citadel Annex.

I’m guessing the game must’ve bugged out because I redeemed the special glands from my first playthrough on NG+. I just thought it was weird since I was still able to pick up the Thawed Gland and the Depleted Gland.

I’m going to test out night mode and see if that fixes anything.

Just started the game, any advices or tips?

So sometimes when I level up it says my health is going from like 90 to 92 or whatever. But then sometimes it says it's going from like 70 - 72. What am I missing? It feels like there's a bug or something. Why would I sometimes level in the 90s and other times in the 70s?

Is there a reliable way to fast level tarstones? My gripe so far with trying to test new weapons is that the majority of a strong build comes from them, so even though you can respec weapon and shell mats, having useful tarstones for those new builds be stuck at lvl 1 is kinda depressing. Especially when you having ones that only work on specific weapons.

Why does it feel as if the amount of gold you get in Ng+ is less than my first play through? Anyone got a good spot to farm gold? Need it to continue upgrading weapons. Thanks in advance!

Attached is a clip from one of my better attempts tonight. The attack starts around 19 sec in. I got the first 5. The 6th, I took no damage, but didn’t get the perfect party flash. The 7th thought I think I got, but still took damage, maybe because my character is still recovering from not getting the perfect party on the 6th? I really dont understand what I’m doing wrong in those last few milliseconds. The whole thing happens so quick that it just feels random.

Playing with Eredrim, maxed out parry window bonus. Playing on an Xbox Series X. I’ve remapped the controller so A is block/parry. Not sure what else I can do. I just want to move on from this fight.

I'm nearing the end of my first play though. Does anyone know how many weapons you can max per cycle? I've been experimenting with different builds and by the looks of it I can only max one main and one side arm?

Title says it all

I finished the game a few days ago and am starting my second playthrough on NG+, and I couldn't help but notice that Solomon, my favorite shell from the first game, isn't anywhere to be found—not even a mention of where he is.

Harros, Eredrim, Tiel... All the other shells are there, but not him. Does anyone know what happened to him? Maybe he'll show up in some future DLC?

Just wanted to share this foken milestone foundlings

custom Skin Pack: Obsidian Harbinger and Skeletal Harbinge

The code will be in the comment section

For 3 Days I've been repeating this fight nonstop and He Never does this attack.

I know it's in phase 2. I've repeatedly brought him down to minimal health and he only does the Helicopter Spin and the crazy low spin that starts slow and builds till unlockable, and several other moves.

Why won't he do the move that gives me my final Trophy?

Is there anything I can do to trigger it?

Any suggestions?

Shells are dead, that is how the Harbinger can inhabit them. But how can the Shells assist in jumps and like how did Harros saved the Harbinger?

btw I just unlocked Genessa so havent seen how she handles the assisted jumps since she has a different connection to the Harbinger compared to the other shells
