Mortal Shell 2 takes you to the Marrow Keep, where you’ll play as the Harbinger, who can wear the Shells of other warriors and use their abilities to face threats and collect the Ova corrupted in beacons across the land. In the prologue, you can use the Shell of Harros, but you can find more later once you reach the Marrow Keep.

Proxima
Proxima is one of the first Shells that the Harbinger can most easily obtain. You’ll have to head to the Blackridge Cliff area, where you’ll find a shattered beacon. Enter the shattered beacon to find Proxima inside.
To get there, you’ll need to start from the Widow’s Overlook beacon. Shortly ahead of the Widow’s Overlook beacon, you’ll find a trial spot. From there, there’s a small path going right where you may encounter a giant toad. There will be a bridge ahead shortly, which leads you to the Blackridge Pass beacon.
From the Blackridge Pass beacon, go a little towards the east, and you’ll find the shattered beacon. It is guarded by an enemy.
Tiel
Tiel is another incredibly powerful Shell that can be acquired early on. To get him, you’ll need to start from the Widow’s Overlook beacon and go south.
As you progress, you’ll come across a village. There will be a board outside of the mushroom village detailing the recent news in the village. You’ll also find a wooden fence here. Tiel is buried just beyond the fence. You’ll be able to find him there easily.
Gragu
Gragu is the only Shell that is alive when you meet him at the One-Legged Wolf Tavern, just further beyond towards the east of the mushroom village.
If you talk to him, he’ll dismiss you. But you have to keep repeatedly trying to talk to him. He’ll eventually tell you that he’s looking for the heart of a god.
From the Tavern, go east. The path will take you to the Temple of Vatra. The heart will be inside the Temple area.
Once you’ve taken the heart, all of the cultists that were turned to stone will come alive again as you approach them.
You’ll have to find a path to exit the temple grounds and return to Gragu to offer him the Heart of Vatra. After consuming the heart, Gragu will become available to inhabit right away for the Harbinger.
Erederim
Erederim is an executioner who can be found at the Citadel of Penance. However, to get there easily, you’ll first have to find One-Legged Wolf Tavern.
From the Tavern, take the path going straight up towards the north. You’ll arrive near a magical pouch. Interacting with the pouch will teleport you inside a cell in the Citadel of Penance.
Once you’re inside the cell in the Citadel, attack it to break free. There will be an elevator nearby. Take the elevator, and you’ll arrive at the top.
Here, as you approach the open circular area, you’ll be attacked by a warden.
After you’ve defeated the warden, you’ll be able to find Erederim among the bodies in the boss arena. Interact with him to unlock his Shell.
Smert
Brether Smert can be found near Prophet’s Rest area. It can be reached by going south of the Citadel of Penance. You’ll then arrive at the Desolate Peak. Go south from the Desolate Peak, and you’ll reach the Prophet’s Rest area shortly ahead.
Here, you’ll find three altars. You’ll have to defeat the cultists nearby when they’re standing on the altars to fill them with blood. Otherwise, you’ll have to sacrifice a portion of your own HP to fill the altar.
Once all three altars are full, you’ll be able to interact with Smert and inhabit his Shell.
Lazlo
Lazlo is one of the two Shells found in the southern region. To obtain him, start from the Outskirts of Mammon Beacon and keep going southwest.
You’ll shortly arrive in the village with the coffin enemies. From there, you have to make your way towards the northwest.
You’ll then reach the Royal Crypt of Mammon. Here, you have to go straight ahead in the crypt. Here, you’ll have to fight against Vellen, High Lord of Mammon.
Once you’ve defeated Vellen, there will be stairs nearby that lead further downward. You’ll find Lazlo’s coffin there.
Sariel
Sariel is found quite late into the game. You can get to him by starting from the Outskirts of Mammon beacon. Go through the Sester’s Respite. There will be a bone gate here that can take you to the Gate of Infinity region.
You can also go southwest from Castigator’s Keep beacon. There will be a path here that can help you get closer to Sariel’s location.
Here, you’ll have to fight Sariel. Once you’ve defeated him, he’ll disappear. You can still see his shadow go and approach the gate behind the main location for the shell. Once the path is open, go there, and you’ll find an entrance to the dungeon.
Enter the dungeon, and here, you’ll have to fight Sariel once again.
Inside the dungeon, Sariel will disappear and go deeper once you’ve reduced his HP to 50%. Here, you’ll find multiple stone tablets connected to each other.
If you defeat Sariel here, he’ll be resurrected immediately. You have to destroy each of the stone tablets first, and then defeat Sariel for good.
Interact with Sariel’s body to unlock his Shell after you’ve defeated him. You’ll also obtain the Clockwork Scythe here.
