Mortal Shell 2 Heavy Metal — Lute Location & All Tracks
Quick answer: The Troubadour's Lute is on the stage in the One-Legged Wolf Tavern, east Fainweald. Equip it as a sidearm, aim, press the fire/play input, then cycle songs on the D-pad until all five tracks have played. That is Heavy Metal.

Where the Lute is
- Mushroom Village notice board can advertise the tavern. The building is not in the village. It is far east, past a corruption wall you cleanse and a few bridges.
- Nearest Beacon: One-Legged Wolf.
- Walk in. The performer is on stage. The Troubadour's Lute is beside the stage — pick it up.
- Gragu sits in the same room if you still need the Heart of Vatra quest.
How to play all five tracks
| Step | Xbox / PlayStation (GameRant) |

| Equip the Lute as your sidearm | Equipment menu |
| Aim | Hold LT / L2 |
| Start playing | X / Square |
| Cycle tracks | D-pad Down until you have heard all five |
PC: open Controls and match Aim Sidearm, Fire, and the D-pad-equivalent song cycle. There is no separate lute-unlock trophy — Nayleshotte is the starter sidearm; Heavy Metal is the song trophy.
