Mortal Shell II Has 53 PlayStation Trophies
The published Mortal Shell II completion list contains 53 PlayStation trophies: 41 bronze, 10 silver, one gold, and one platinum. The platinum, No Lifer, is the reward for finishing the other 52 objectives. Xbox lists achievement support, while each platform can expose its completion UI on a different schedule, so the 52 gameplay requirements below are the practical checklist to follow.
The list covers story progress, ten named bosses, eight Shells, seven main weapons, six sidearms, exploration collections, upgrades, NPC outcomes, and one demanding Perfect Guard challenge. There is no mutually exclusive trophy pair that forces a choice between two rewards. The extra runs come from the limited supply of Glimpses needed for Shell Memories.
Protect the Three Missable Trophies
Treat the tutorial as a two-item lockout check before you let the story carry you to Marrowkeep.
| Trophy | Required action | Lockout |
|---|---|---|
| Mid Summer? | Accept Marigold's flower crown while walking toward the first Shell | Ignoring her misses it for the current save; New Game Plus skips this tutorial |
| No, You Still Can't Win | Reduce the Tar Golem to zero health during the tutorial | The encounter happens once and does not return in New Game Plus |
| Peter's Perfect Parry | Perfect Guard all seven hits of the Nameless Captive's slower reverse head-spin sequence with the Untarnished Seal | Defeating the boss ends the attempt until a later cycle |
Avoid two current progression traps
Two collectible goals have day-one route problems even though their requirements are straightforward:
- For Stoned, collect the Tarstone inside the Temple of Vatra before leaving that area. The closing gates currently block a return, including in New Game Plus.
- For Seeking the Past, raise Sester Genessa to maximum bond during the first playthrough. Her bond interaction can become stuck on its tutorial state in New Game Plus.
These are version-sensitive warnings. If a later patch changes either route, the checklist requirement remains the same while the workaround can be retired.
Use This Completion Order
- Accept Marigold's crown and reduce the Tar Golem to zero health during the opening tutorial.
- In the first full playthrough, complete the story regions, defeat all named bosses, collect every Shell, weapon, sidearm, Ova, map fragment, Beacon, and Tarstone, and finish the NPC interactions.
- Collect the Temple of Vatra Tarstone before leaving and maximize Sester Genessa before moving into New Game Plus.
- Complete Peter's Perfect Parry before defeating the Nameless Captive. Quit to the main menu during the fight if the required seven-hit sequence fails.
- After the final boss, stay in free-roam and clean up the first-playthrough checklist. Enter New Game Plus only when the remaining goals are Shell Memories.
- During New Game Plus and the partial third cycle, clear bosses and Beacons again for Glimpses, then finish bonding every Shell and watch all memories.
All eight Shells have five memories, for 40 total. Reaching maximum bond costs 27 Glimpses per Shell, or 216 across the roster. A playthrough supplies enough to finish about three Shells, which is why the route reaches partway into a third cycle even when everything else is already complete.
