What Beacons do in Mortal Shell II

Beacons are more than map markers. According to Game8’s current Beacon guide, they are fast-travel points that restore the Harbinger’s Health and Resolve; cleansing a Beacon also grants Ovas.1

That makes a Beacon the best place to pause before a difficult route: activate it, explore outward, then return when you need recovery or a fast-travel reset.

Early Beacons and the main base

Game8 lists Marrow Keep as the main base after the prologue. It also lists Crumbling Tunnel (Widow’s Overlook) among the first activated Beacons.1

The walkthrough’s opening route markers are Disciple’s Pass and Fainweald. After cleansing the first Beacon, it says the Muradean Actuator becomes available for weapon upgrades.2

Published Beacon location index

The following names are listed in Game8’s current all-Beacons guide. This is an index, not a promise that every location is available at the same time or that it must be cleared in this order.1

  • Marrow Keep
  • Widow Overlook — Crumbling Tunnel
  • Outskirts of Mammon — Crumbling Tunnel
  • Sester’s Bastion
  • Gate of Infinity
  • Abandoned Shrine
  • Odious Crevice
  • Mornefrost Grave
  • Mawbreak Cavern
  • Hall of Illusions
  • The Hidden Keep

Game8’s index also includes additional named dungeon areas such as Derelict Hideout, Gloomstricken Garrison, Hermit’s Pass, Infested Den, Mustworn Tomb, Overgrown Temple, Passenger’s Shrine, Pilfered Crypt, Rootwater Hollow, Viletongue’s Domain, and Wortbriar Encampment.1

A reliable exploration loop

  1. Activate the Beacon before detouring. It is your recovery and fast-travel point.
  2. Explore one branch at a time. If you find a named dungeon or route marker, note it and return rather than assuming it is mandatory immediately.
  3. Cleanse when possible. Cleansing is documented to provide Ovas, and the first cleansing unlocks the Muradean Actuator according to the walkthrough.2
  4. Use named areas as navigation references. Pair this page with the Progress Route rather than relying on an invented boss sequence.
