Mortal Shell 2 Achievements & Trophies
A complete, spoiler-light trophy list for the launch build — every achievement, the ones you can miss, and the two that launch-week players report as bugged.
At a Glance
Mortal Shell II ships with 53 trophies on PlayStation, and launch-week guides confirm the list is 100% offline: nothing requires multiplayer. It is a classic Soulslike list built around bosses and collectibles, with no difficulty setting to worry about (the optional "Summon Night" modifier is only needed for specific side objectives, not for boss progress).
Platinum requires at least two full playthroughs plus part of a third (NG++) — not because of endings, but because the Glimpses needed to unlock all Shell Memories can't be farmed the way they were in the first game. New Game+ is required, and there are no manual save slots (three separate playthrough slots only), so plan around that.
Missable Trophies
Three trophies can be missed permanently in a given playthrough. Two of them sit in the very first section of the game and cannot be earned in New Game+ at all, because NG+ starts you back at Marrow Keep and skips the tutorial area:
- Mid Summer? — "Enter the Festival." At the very start, before claiming your first Shell, interact with the character Marigold and accept the flower crown. Ignore her and the trophy is gone for that run (a fresh save in another slot can still get it).
- No, You Still Can't Win — "Take the Tar Golem to his Minimum Health." Also in the opening section; make sure the Tar Golem encounter is finished properly before moving on.
- Peter's Perfect Parry — "Perfect Guard each one of The Nameless Captive's headspins using the Untarnished Seal." A boss-specific skill check in the Prisoner's Domain, and widely considered the hardest trophy on the list. It can be attempted again in NG+ if missed, but bosses hit harder there, so it's best done on the first run — you can leave this boss until late in the playthrough to be as leveled as possible.
Launch-week player reports flag two trophies that can fail to unlock due to game bugs. With the day one patch, all 53 can be obtained — but these two need specific precautions:
- Stoned (Find all Tarstones) — a Tarstone in the Temple of Vatra (north part of the map) is easy to lock yourself out of: if you leave the area before grabbing it, the gates close and never reopen — not even in New Game+, since the gates don't reset. Collect it before leaving the Temple the first time.
- Seeking the Past (Watch all Shell Memories) — in New Game+ the Shell Sester Genessa can get stuck in her parrying tutorial and stop accepting Bond upgrades. To stay safe, max out Genessa's Shell Bond during the first playthrough.
Platinum Roadmap at a Glance
- Playthrough 1: complete the story, defeat every main boss and grab all collectibles — everything except the Shell Memories trophy is earnable here. Clean up the three missables (above) before leaving the tutorial area.
- Playthroughs 2 and 3 (NG+ / part of NG++): re-clear main bosses and Beacons for Glimpses. There are 8 Shells with 5 Memories each (40 total), and maxing a Shell's Bond costs 27 Glimpses — 216 Glimpses for all eight, which works out to roughly three Shells fully leveled per playthrough.
- After the final boss you're returned to Marrow Keep and can free-roam to clean up before entering NG+ via the Ova Siphon.
Weapon, Shell, Tarstone and Beacon collectible runs all feed directly into the trophy list — the weapon database, Shell roster and map & collectibles pages track the same targets. Steam global unlock rates will be added to this page once the game's achievements go live on Steam.
