Mortal Shell 2 Sunken Village Walkthrough

Prep at Marrow Keep

1. If Tiel (or another Shell) has a poison-related Bond 1 perk, slot it.
2. Refill Mether's Pulse. Upgrade it if you already found a Revered Gland or Synaptic Vessel.
3. Take a fast weapon into Magdalena — her chair charge punishes long, slow swings.
4. Optional: 1 Glimpse to enable the Smert spirit summon at the pre-arena point.

Inside the dungeon

1. Fast travel to the Mushroom Village Gate Beacon and step through the glowing gateway.
2. Activate every Beacon you see. The last Beacon in a Corrupted Gate dungeon appears after the boss and holds a large Ova packet (launch guides say 26).
3. The Wandering Shepherd near the Sunken Village Beacon is both a miniboss and, once down, a Gloom farm via the sheep pen across the bridge.
4. Drop from the final swamp ledge into Magdalena's glade. Full fight plan: Magdalena boss guide.

After Magdalena

Cleansing the gate returns you toward Marrow Keep. Use that trip: upgrade weapons, sell junk, unlock a Shell memory, and siphon Ova. The next story spine is the remaining Fainweald gates (Sanguine Caverns / Lost Child, Prisoners' Domain / Nameless Captive), not a rush into Mammon.
