How to Get Your First New Weapon in Mortal Shell 2

Mortal Shell 2 has eight weapons scattered across its different regions, giving you plenty of options to experiment with as you progress through the game. Since your starting weapon remains with you throughout the prologue, you may be eager to find something different as soon as this opening section ends.

While most weapons are not immediately available near the starting area, you can get the Axe and Dagger relatively early. This fast weapon can be a welcome change after relying on a much heavier weapon throughout the prologue. However, it is locked inside a dungeon that requires a key to access, so here is everything you need to know.

How to Get the Chapel Key

The Axe and Dagger is found inside the Shrine of Trials, but you first need to acquire the Chapel Key to enter the dungeon. Start at the Mushroom Village Beacon and head right. When you spot the villagers dancing on your right, go down the steps and deal with them before crossing the nearby bridge.

There are more villagers on the other side, so take them out as well. Once the area is clear, look around for an empty doorframe. Go around to the side with the steps and pass through the doorframe. Doing so will cause a statue to appear.

At the base of the statue, you will find a rope with an item hanging from it. Interact with the item to obtain the Chapel Key.

Return to the Mushroom Village Beacon and head left this time. You will enter an area occupied by some Grisha Hunters. Look past the cage in this area to find a locked door. Use the Chapel Key to open it and enter the Shrine of Trials.

Continue downward and deal with the cultist enemies. In the same room, you will find a statue and an apparent dead end. Face the wall opposite the statue, then turn around and look toward the statue. The wall will disappear, allowing you to continue.

In the next room, you will encounter a stone block puzzle. Hit the stone block twice to move it onto the pressure plate, which opens the door to the next room.

The third room contains two stone blocks. Start with the left block and move it left, then straight, and finally right. Move over to the right block and hit it once to move it forward. Return to the first block and hit it to move it left. This activates the remaining pressure plate and opens the final door.

Fighting For the Axe and Dagger

The final room contains a Knight guarding the weapon. If you already have the Tiel Shell, you can use its Stealth ability to approach the enemy without being detected and follow it up with a Shadow Strike for a strong opening attack.

Defeat the Knight and head toward the slab at the end of the room. Interact with it to claim the Axe and Dagger. Once you have collected the weapon, you can equip it immediately and start using it as your first new weapon after the prologue.
