To make sure you don’t die too much, dodge-roll everywhere you go. You will have to travel around a lot without a Shell which means you will die in 1 hit from everything. Make sure NOT to collect any Shells that you come across during this Phase. If you’d like to experience and figure out Mortal Shell for yourself then you can skip this step and go in completely blind for your first playthrough and come back for Phase Two.
#MORTAL SHELL MAP UPGRADE#
To make sure you’re ready for your No Shell playthrough, follow the guide below to fully upgrade your weapon before moving on to the next phase. However, Phase Three requires you to complete the game without touching a Shell which can be incredibly difficult. Mortal Shell isn’t tough when you take advantage of the Shells and their abilities. You will also be clearing a few miscellaneous trophies and petting a cute cat. In this phase of the Mortal Shell Trophy Guide, you will be doing a swift run to collect some materials to upgrade your weapon fully, making the upcoming struggles much easier. Phase One – Prepare for the Journey Ahead Then you warp back to Sester Genessa and speak with her to reset the world and bring back any enemies you might have killed. There is a farming method that requires you to talk to an NPC to bring back “The Mist” to kill a Grisha for 750 Tar and 6 Glimpses. Tar and Glimpses are this game’s currency, with the latter being harder to come by.

I would still recommend avoiding most enemies to avoid losing any health at all. You can, however, parry enemies and press to instantly kill them and syphon off their health for yourself. Unlike similar games, Mortal Shell is very limited when it comes to healing items. This way, you’ll be able to do a playthrough using whichever Shell you want, then once you’ve completed the game and got every trophy from Phase 2, revert to your back up save before you collected any shells and quickly kill all the bosses for the last No Shell trophies. In this Mortal Shell Trophy Guide, I’ll instead have you spend some time upgrading a weapon to +5 without a Shell at the beginning before asking you to back up your save. Most Mortal Shell trophy guides ask you to do 2 separate playthroughs, one normal and one without using Shells. Advertisements Mortal Shell Trophy Guide: Before You Begin

When the enemy attacks you, your harden breaks and they’re hit with your attack.Īll of this comes together to make Mortal Shell a truly unique Soulslike inspired game. You can start an attack while an enemy is closing the gap between you and harden. This is a great tool for interrupting enemy combos but also for setting up your own attacks. When you press and hold, a rock-like texture envelopes you and deflects the enemies next attack while also negating any damage you would have taken. Of course, the unique aspect to Mortal Shell is the ability to “harden” during combat. This creates some interesting decisions do you want a lot of health but very little stamina so you can take advantage of a Shell’s ability to stack damage multipliers for a boss fight? Or would you rather have a middle ground but forego any beneficial abilities? Each Shell will always remain with the same health and stamina unless an ability affects it otherwise. Instead of choosing classes from a menu before the game starts, Mortal Shell lets players find and inhabit Shells with different stats and abilities however, a shell’s stats can not be upgraded, unlike the abilities. Most of them end up being watered down clones with difficult combat but ultimately misunderstand what makes a Dark Souls game a Dark Souls game however, Cold Symmetry has avoided that by simply making Mortal Shell unique in other areas. I don’t know what it is about FromSoftware’s Demon’s Souls and Dark Souls games, but every indie developer and their dogs have tried to borrow, and sometimes straight-up plagiarise from them. It’s more that it does a good job at not being a souslike clone. That’s not to say Mortal Shell isn’t good at being a soulslike. Other than these two components, there’s not much in Mortal Shell that I can confidently say is soulslike. The game’s primary goal is to wade through insignificant additional enemies until you land yourself in an arena, face to face with a boss. It definitely has the trademark difficult combat, but only when attempting a No Shell run. Mortal Shell is technically a soulslike game however, after playing it for 25-30 hours, it began to feel less like a soulslike game. With this, anyone should be able to conquer this game and its challenges. We have broken the journey up into easily digestible phases with expert information packed into each one. In this guide, you will find strategies and tips for unlocking every trophy on your way to the platinum.
