Type

Collectible playable Shell

Named as a playable Shell in the official Mortal Shell II gameplay reveal announcement.

Inside the glowing Shattered Beacon northeast of Blackridge Pass in Fainweald.

Acquisition

Enter the Shattered Beacon, interact with Proxima's unguarded remains, and complete the first memory to unlock the Shell permanently.

Abilities

  • Biosampler uses a hook to pull a small target closer or carry Proxima toward a larger one before a Lightning hit.
  • Grafted Armour can reduce incoming melee or ranged damage and prevent the accompanying stagger.

Strengths

  • Gap closing and enemy repositioning
  • Passive mitigation against direct attacks
  • Sustained Lightning pressure

Tips

  • Use Biosampler to isolate light enemies or to stay attached to large targets rather than spending time chasing them.
