Mortal Shell 2 Where to Go First

Tick this on a second screen

The fork at Marrow Keep

The Keep looks out over both regions. Mammon is the city to the south. It is a later-game zone. GameSpot's first-direction piece is blunt: take the cleared teleporter overlooking Fainweald, tag Widow's Overlook, and start there.

1. Talk to Zhirelle. She pins Tiel and Proxima on the map for free.
2. Hand Franz the Muradean Actuator so the Tarforge can upgrade the Iconoclast.
3. Go to Widow's Overlook. Grab the Ruk map station if you see the raven icon.
4. East/southeast dirt path, wooden camp, large tree — Tiel's grave. Finish the memory so you can swap to him at any Beacon.
5. Martyr's Tomb is next to that grave. Clear it for the Obsidian Lathe and Parasitic Stone.
6. North toward Blackridge Pass for Proxima inside the Shattered Beacon.

Do not do these yet

• Mammon. The enemies and the first Corrupted Gates there assume a bonded Shell and a upgraded weapon.
• A long detour for the Forgotten Crossbow before Tiel or Proxima. Sidearms are not a class.
• Dumping Glimpse into a Shell you have not played for an hour. Bond is the scarce, barely refundable resource.
• Night Mode or the Slayer Seal on a trophy save before you understand the in-game warning.
