Mortal Shell thread.
Proxima thread.

Does the triarch repeater not have an ability stone?
>>
>complete first 3 corruption gates
>enter lower half of map

Why do I always lose interest when half way through a game
>>
>>746005373
Nope.

>>746005561
That's a you problem. My waifu Proxima keeps me interested.
>>
>>746006158
Do you just need to grind out the biohunter skill to get the damage bonus on enemies? Theres no indicator or anything.
>>
Alright I've seen the crazy bullshit gragu can do(exploration god and only 7 bosses are impossible to punch staggerlock), what about the other shells? Who's another fun shell?
>>
Kinda wish we got a shell with a heavier emphasis on the sidearms but well I guess they are called sidearms for a reason
>>
>>746006376
Tiel is my strongest shell his stealth dodge passive dominates, I'm considering Gragu for my third main since I liked his first memory and aesthetic, is his bullshit actually that fun?
>>
How does this compare to the first and other games in general
>>
Why does Stary Genessa need to knockback while using her ability?
>>
Shell points refund is redundant the total pool should just be accessible by any shell at any time + quitting to menu then reloading makes mether's breath's gloom cost redunant too.

>>746010046
Completely eclipses the og, makes it look like a demo,.
>>
How do we feel about the last boss?
>>
>>746009926
Depends what you want for fun. 99% of encounters(or well basically any enemy/boss thats not one of the 7 stagger immune bosses) can be solved by gragu punching one guy to knock them down and finishing them off with regular weapon attacks or a riposte. If he happens to trade some hits to do so thats fine he can heal it up, the math of taking damage vs generating a heal is heavily favored to gragu even without the upgrades. Even if you do get severed its not a big deal, lavender keeps his own stock of heals separate from gragu. He's also technically the bleed guy and can get a node to have a chance to replenish all his heals from every attack that stacks the bleed status. That said it is somewhat repetitive to knockdown/murder loop everything, and you do need some space to charge the punch since if you don't hold the button down long enough he just cancels the punch, and until you get his tier 4 passive that lets him blow up man-sized enemies its a little finicky to collateral kill enemies with the punch but otherwise he's a pretty proactive shell. Gragu's durability comes from CC and practically bottomless amounts of healing that enable you to take as many risks as you want.

I'm displeased with the story being ass (so far, but I don't think it will get better). Also it's the "it's not a story it's lore lmao" bullshit which should have been laid to rest a long time ago.

And some design/balance decisions are just baffling. 3 frame start up attacks, sliding, tarstone leveling... Feels like it was not playtested much.

>>746013679
Never mind the clones are some sort of touched in the head and are exposing how goofy the AI in this game is. I just saw one tokyo drift past one of the mushroom village grannies off a cliff and then because it was taunting the granny she also chased after them off the cliff. They're also just straight up running towards enemies in other rooms or just not fighting the ones in front of them. Like when they work they're super cool, basically 100-0 NG+ night mode magdelene because I had like 15 clones out but holy fuck they're dumb

Have been fighting with a camera bug since i started the game
Find a discussion about it on steam forums
A dev pops up and asks for some data to log the bug
Can only hope this might end up getting fixed.
Anyhow anybody else having a bug where the camera pans all the way down (so it ends up looking at the ceiling) after you move it a bit?
I spend more time fighting the camera than enemies
>>
>>746005373
nope, no ability stone
it also can't use a bunch of the other ranged weapon stones
I have messed around with the triarch repeater and I think it's actually just kinda dogshit
the infusions it CAN use are the frost and lightning infusions (which it exclusively can use)
it can also use the break damage on crits stone, or alternatively the stone that causes a small aoe every 20 shots
at +16 the gun can shoot about 116 shots from full resolve, but it requires a short "spin up" before you can actually begin firing it. the shots do 0 stagger likely as a balancing issue
Against enemies that don't really have gap closers or shorter range ones, you can mow them down for piss-poor damage. The bonus damage every 20 shots stone is useless so break is best just so you can build up to a stun/riposte. Frost infusion is also good but the buildup is slow and is also crit only. Lightning does barely any extra damage. Frozen status also lasts way less on enemies than it does on the player.
All in all, it's a dogshit weapon. If it had a good ability stone it could save it, but it doesn't.
If you want a rapid fire machine gun, the caged hystrix is far superior in every single way

Black Needle is my favorite weapon.

I really struggled at the start, like I had 30+ deaths within the first two hours (thinking back it’s probably because I didn’t realize I had to go get the party back) but I’ve done 3 corrupted gates and I’ve only died about twice and have first tried all the bosses.

after finishing the game, here's my thoughts on needed changes:
>glimpses need to be more abundant, or make them purchaseable at the end of the game
>shell points should be independent of each shell
>increase resolve gains for heavy weapons per hit, as it stands more hits = more resolve which makes the fast weapons so busted currently
>heavy weapons in general need buffs to their base damage, their ability stones are generally fine
>give an ability stone to the triarch repeater, it's the only weapon afaik that has none
>buff some of the other lackluster weapons like the lute (lute also cant be upgraded for some reason)
>tweak a bunch of the statuses to be more useful/impactful, namely the "ranged attacks cause melee to do more damage" and vice versa as these statuses give incredibly tiny gains
>same goes for stasis, the slowdown is nearly indistinguishable from base enemy speed
>buff gold gains even more, the last buff was not enough and you still need to rely on proxima specimen farming to get decent gold gain lategame
now, for changes for the eventual Mortal shell 2:
>less elden ring side dungeons
too many, not enough give anything substantial or are interesting enough. There are a few really good and interesting little dungeons with cool gimmicks but it's within a sea of monotonous garbage

Basically the first one is a race of alines tries to seeds planets
Those seeds grow and eventually become the MC and those seedlings create cults and wage war until one is powerful enough to "ascend" which is basically going on space to signal that world is ready
MS2 prologue is a "mether" we dont know if the only one or if its just one of many heading to the planet with a bunch of eggs but it seems she also got parasited at some point so shit went to fuck

Looking at the recent reviews there's a lot of people complaining about the enemies dealing 2x damage compared to the pre-release demo and having twice as much hp. Is the game really that tedious? Also, apparently you can only max out 1-2 shells per run because their upgrade resources are giga rare, wtf

I'll probably wait for a year of patches and balance passes
>>
>>746039495
You don't need to max all the shells. All you need is Proxima's fat ass. Later you can get more shells in NG+.

there is a consumable you can get that negates his unique status from his fire

Get good at what? Not dying of fucking boredom? He has 3 fucking attacks - sword, balls stomp and fire wave, he's just a bullet sponge forcing you to flatten his testicles for 10 minutes until he dies. This is one of the most anticlimactic bosses I've seen in a souls like games.
>>
>>746010816
I died probably 8-10? times as Proxima with Axtana/Lightning infusion.
On Night time.

Night time seems to add artificial difficulty, just spongy enemies and basically 2 hits to die if you don't perfect parry.
It also takes way too long to level up tarstones.
I figured that being on Night mode? would make shit easier and quicker to level up, but no, it feels about the same.
Inevitably I just used the ue4ss cheat manager and levelled them from 2 to 3(duality and others were already at 12k/20k

some random thoughts about this game after finishing it today

>quite a few bugs
>spent about half of this game being absurdly overpowered (Tiel, Axe/Dagger, Duality Stone) to the point that it trivialized content, and it stopped being fun
>every major boss fight is underwhelming, only a few of them are challenging and even fewer are actually fun.
>every new zone is worse than the previous, although all of Fainweald is excellent. the final zone/dungeon is a lazy boss rush with generic art and gank corridors galore
>health potion upgrade items are easy to miss
> the world, gate and beacon dungeons all seem like wasted effort that could have been spent on the open world or larger legacy dungeons like in Elden Ring
>beacon placement seems too random, no logic to it
>player and enemy damage are both too high, you either kill them in 2 hits or they kill you (or at least destroy your shell) in 2 hits; there has to be a middle ground
>limited amount of Glimpse means you can only invest in 2 or 3 shells at most
>I liked the item active/inactive system, as well as collecting as a means for upgrading
>tarstones are fun to experiment with (if it weren't for the fact that some are too OP) and you are rewarded for leveling up level 1 stones
>moment to moment combat feels very satisfying
>game looks nice, runs quite well
Hard to judge this game because the first 25% is a 9/10 experience, after that it drops slowly to 6/10 territory toward the very end. And despite what everyone says, the pre-nerf Monolith fight (aka ''the ball sack'') was probably my favorite.

you don't need 44/44, most builds recommend really only fully maxing out some parts

yes, you can cleanse the corruption at the top of the tower without needing mether's breath

people think the grisha summon is OP but it's incredibly fucking buggy, sometimes they just never summon, other times they summon in the floor, and for most of the actually difficult bosses they provide nothing since they don't actually stagger or knock down the boss like they do for normal enemies

I'm just about to do the third gate at the top of the map, in the white/red area. After that I've done all three gates in the top half of the map and I think have all beacons there. How far along in the game is that?
>>
>>746053518
I wonder if that's a bug? Initially the southern jump pad is blocked by corruption, but the game just lets you immediately cleanse it. The rest of the corruption walls make you wait until you unlock methers breath.
>>
>>746053962
There are another 3 gates on the bottom of the map, then an extra smaller area that leads to the final boss
so a bit below 50% not taking into account any extra exploring you might want to do for dungeons or shit you missed
>>
>>746053820
I honestly hope that they nerf the fuck out of that. Put a hard cap on how high that you can stack it, and require you to actually fucking hit opponents you proc it instead of just flailing around like the lightsaber kid.
>>
>>746040739
Refunding is free. If you're switching shells you should always just hit the refund all shell points button. Refunding and putting them into different perks is something you'll be doing a lot depending on how long it takes you to figure out the most optimal setup for whatever shell you're using.
Also if you want to get all the shell points its going to take a lot of levelling up. Luckily several perks in each shell are kind of garbage or mid so you don't really need that many points to get a powerful build going.
>>

Beat the game yesterday, besides some bugs it was really good. Though I do hope that there's going to be updates adding stuff to it, I felt like there were a few to many dungeons and locations/boss fights that didn't really have that much interesting loot as a reward. Any kind of weapon/sidearm/shell you'd like to see get added?

>>746010046
MS2 is light years beyond its predecessor. In terms of non From souls likes I’d put it under Khazan

Lies of P
Wuchang Fallen Feathers
Khazan
MS2
Lords 2023

The biggest reason I put it in fourth is because MS2 lacks meaningful weapon variety and its early bosses are largely just okay. It’s got decent exploration (more rewarding than Nioh 3) but isn’t as captivating as Elden Ring. It does do some fun stuff that other souls games don’t do that I think will be healthy for the future of the genre.

I'd skip it, personally only one of the original corrupted gate level looked well designed but all boss fights are tedious, if you even make it that far as the level up system is even worse than MS2. Lore wise it gets recapped in the sequel opening 2d intro
>>
>>746069415
Not to mention that a lot of enemies just plain run faster than you even at a sprint, and/or have attacks that might as well be *teleports behind you*

the layout of this game reminds me of kingdoms of amular. a lot of RUNNING around
>>
>>746005561
Because the game suffers the same issue Elden Ring does where the Open World aspect makes the game significantly worse and the only enjoyable parts are the linear dungeons. Also it doesn't help that the game is fucking horribly balanced, every weapon feels like shit except when a Tarstone that turns your wet noodle into a boss instagibbing machine, progress is extremely slow because leveling a single weapon ONCE takes hours of gold gathering, and leveling up takes just as long to no noticable effect whatsoever.

It's a significant step up from the first but Mortal Shell 1 was one of the worst souls likes I've ever played. This is maybe a 6/10 on a good day.

also wasnt the idea of this you die and you go find another shell. or are they more like equipment you can swap anytime now

i see why elden ring and blooden started incorporating motion values in the moveset strings.
the fucking starting sword doing less than a 1h axe despite me hulkin that thing around for a swing is really stupid.
>>
>>746074184
the design layout of the whole world in general is like wuchang fallen feathers final demon shit level
just open and runnin about. random dungeons to enter with their own little gimmick.

the magnetism/teleporting shit enemies have is really bad though. like, really really bad. think dark souls 2 but faster and worst.
the weapon balancing is really bad too.
its just, messy as fuck. for instance you can get hit while you're on the ground, which is also a wuchang thing too iirc.
>>
so let me get this straight
all the enemies no matter the area north dont scale in anyway whatsoever. a rock crab in the east does as much as one in the west.

then when you go south, they just, make all these SAME enemies, have more health and do more?
all while, yes you can do more, but your defense stat just doesn't go up at fuckin all per level?
is this correct?
>>
>>746074616
Yes. Also don't forget that enemies will just start ignoring your attacks and hit you if you don't have enough stagger through damage. Good luck!
>>
riposte sucks ass, it would be better if you could just light attack instead of riposte
>>
>>746075756
yeah especially on the fat frog shitter. i was doing more just whaling on him while he was on a down state than doing the riposte.
im even using the fuckin tardstone

>>
>>746077182
For an otherwise okay fight Its the least fun gimmick since if you get burned you can't remove it without the secret item. Granted you do need to get hit a fair bit for it to proc so you can wait it out its admittedly long buildup timer or if your shell can cleanse negative effects they can remove the buildup as well.
>>
>>746077446
Yeah but changing my weapon too is fucking retarded
>>
>>746077261
I've only used them for shooting the ranged bats or exploding barrels, anything else feels like a waste of Resolve
>>
theres literally no fuckin stat screen?
>>
>>746077510
Hey I ain't defending it, its a shitty gimmick and practically an insta-loss condition if you don't have the secret item or are close to killing the boss. If it was an intended phase like strip the player of all their gear except a shitty main hand weapon and they can get it back by doing enough damage or riposting the boss then I'd call that cool but as is it just sucks

What is the difference between block and harden? B
Like, is there an obviously better one? I am trying to get used to harden but it seems generally worse than block since you are SOL for three seconds if you didn't perfect it. I think you get less damage while hardened and the frames after you you get hit but I don't jbiw if it's real since damage can vary hit by hit
>>
>>746078401
block > parry >harden
>>
>>746078401
Isn't the whole point of harden that you can pull it off at any time even mid-animation? So a theoretically perfect player could just keep attacking without having to worry about getting hit, while an imperfect player can absorb a single hit during their own combo. Block and the parry seal are much easier to use in comparison

i fucking hate how easy it is, and how few bonfires there are, literally running around 30 min without finding one, their placemnt makes 0 sense, you find 3 next to each other, then none for what feels a quarter of the map, and fuck grab attacks, every enemy is a joke, yet they have a random ass snap on 10 meter range insta grab attacks that 1 hit kill you, and each time you have to rely on your shell to tank it

Seems like that's basically all of them.
Tiel's is being a dickass thief who gets turned into a spooky skeleton and then he's a drunk and because he doesn't see his waifu for 5 seconds he immediately drinks himself to death (and then is shoved into a random coffin near a random house).
Eredim is trying to get a deal out of some cult woman and then he gets a squire and then it's back to the woman and then the squire kills him (and then he's in some prison where he actually died to some huge monster guy?)
Lazlo is just walking between two places, being fat and then jobbing but at least his body is in a somewhat related place I guess.
And so on.
I miss my guy Harros, that dude somehow regained control just to sacrifice himself for you.
