Mortal Shell 2 Tarstone guide and locations

Mortal Shell 2 features 73 obtainable Tarstones that serve as equipment providing passive buffs, weapon effects, or new attacks. While players can upgrade Tarstones twice to increase their effectiveness, finding all 73 is required to earn the ‘Stoned’ trophy and achievement. None of the stones are missable, as they can all be collected in free-roam after defeating the final boss.

Key early-game Tarstones include the Clumsy Stone, which is sold by the merchant Merrick in Marrow Keep for 2000 Gold and provides life-leech effects upon killing enemies. The Favorable Stone, found in a chest in Mushroom Village, increases critical hit chances for melee attacks. Other notable stones include the Auspicious Stone, the Devout Stone, and the Shattering Stone, each offering distinct combat advantages such as increased damage or utility.
