Mortal Shell II Items

Items are keys, recovery, materials and permanent progress

Items come from chests, breakable objects, enemies, bosses, merchants and quests. The useful distinction is whether an item opens a route, improves a permanent system, restores a resource, or can be traded for coins.

Route tools worth keeping in mind

The Chapel Key opens the Chapel doors outside Mushroom Village. The Damp Key opens Sinking Village’s secret. A Blackmarrow Key opens the locked treasure at Marrow Keep, while the Central Shaft Lever opens the gate in the mines. Map fragments such as Location: Axatana put a specific weapon or Sidearm on Ruk’s Map.

For healing, Homemade Draught restores up to one charge and Soiled Chalice restores up to two. Rat Skewer restores 30% HP, while Elixer fully restores HP. Carry recovery that fits the route, and hold key items until you reach their named lock, forge service or quest character.
