How to use this list for a 100% run
Let normal progression reveal areas, encounters, and unlock opportunities. Collect each available Shell, weapon, and sidearm as you find it so the individual achievements double as checkpoints for their larger collection goals.
Maintain separate tallies for exploration sets, memories, lute tracks, bonding, and Tarforge upgrades. Once the main journey is finished, compare those tallies against the remaining boss and special-challenge entries before expecting No Lifer to appear.
| Goal | Focus |
|---|---|
| Progression | Claim your first Shell, weapon, and sidearm; enter the Festival; reach Marrowkeep; finish the game |
| Early tracking | Record Ova, Map Fragments, Tarstones, Beacons, Shell Memories, and lute tracks as you encounter them |
| Collection sweep | Obtain every Shell, weapon, and sidearm, using individual unlock achievements as checkpoints |
| Upgrades | Reach maximum bonding with one Shell and fully upgrade one weapon at the Tarforge |
| Challenge cleanup | Finish named boss defeats, The Nameless Captive parry condition, and the Tar Golem health objective |
| Final check | Review every unfinished set and special condition before checking No Lifer |
Keep a manual checklist for every “all” requirement from the moment you find its first item. Separate tallies for collectibles, memories, tracks, Shells, weapons, and sidearms make missing unlocks much easier to identify.
Complete reference by unlock type
Open any entry below for its unlock condition and the role it plays in a completion run. Exact routes, locations, boss order, and collectible totals are not established by the achievement descriptions, so use these entries as a tracking reference rather than a fixed walkthrough.
Starter and progression achievements
You’re More Than a Weapon
Unlock requirement: Claim your first Shell, Weapon and Sidearm. All three categories must be represented; obtaining only a Shell or weapon does not satisfy the full condition.
Mid Summer?
Unlock requirement: Enter the Festival. Entering the named event is the complete condition.
Home at Last
Unlock requirement: Reach Marrowkeep. No additional collection or combat objective is stated.
This is Not an Achievement
Unlock requirement: Complete Mortal Shell II. This is the main story-completion milestone, separate from the broader achievement-set requirement for No Lifer.
Shell achievements
Arrival
Unlock requirement: Unlock Proxima. This individual Shell unlock also advances Shell Seeker.
Down with the Thickness
Unlock requirement: Unlock Lazlo. Record Lazlo on your Shell checklist when the achievement appears.
Forever Alone?
Unlock requirement: Unlock Tiel. The trigger is the Shell unlock itself.
Heartless
Unlock requirement: Unlock Gragu. Keep Gragu on the same collection tally as the other named Shells.
My Brether
Unlock requirement: Unlock Smert. Finding a related objective is not a substitute for completing the unlock.
Sester
Unlock requirement: Unlock Sester Genessa. Once triggered, count the unlock toward the complete Shell collection.
The Alchemist
Unlock requirement: Unlock Sariel. Sariel is another checkpoint on the path to Shell Seeker.
Vengeance is Mine
Unlock requirement: Unlock Eredrim. The achievement does not state an additional equipment or combat condition.
Shell Seeker
Unlock requirement: Unlock all Shells. Review every individual Shell unlock before treating this collection as finished.
Weapon achievements
Beautiful Baby
Unlock requirement: Unlock the Cursed Child. Add the Cursed Child to the weapon checklist leading to Lord of War.
Big Boi
Unlock requirement: Unlock Great Martyr’s Blade. Obtaining this weapon advances the all-weapons objective.
Chop Chop
Unlock requirement: Unlock the Salvaged Trebuchaxe. Remove it from your checklist only after the unlock triggers.
Cut You Down to Size
Unlock requirement: Unlock the Veteran’s Battle Axe. This is one of the individual weapon conditions supporting Lord of War.
Deep Cuts
Unlock requirement: Unlock Axe and Dagger. Treat the full item name as a single weapon unlock.
Dual Wielding
Unlock requirement: Unlock the Axatana. Count the Axatana toward the complete weapon set when the achievement appears.
Like Clockwork
Unlock requirement: Unlock the Clockwork Scythe. This unlock contributes directly to Lord of War.
Point Taken
Unlock requirement: Unlock Black Needle. Add Black Needle to the same tally as the other named weapons.
Stop – Hammer Time
Unlock requirement: Unlock the Obsidian Hammer. Obtaining the unlock advances the complete weapon collection.
Lord of War
Unlock requirement: Unlock all Weapons. The individual weapon achievements provide useful checkpoints, but the condition covers the entire weapon collection.
Sidearm achievements
Old Painless
Unlock requirement: Unlock the Triarch Repeater. This sidearm contributes to Guns. Lots of Guns.
Old School
Unlock requirement: Unlock the Forgotten Crossbow. Record the unlock on your sidearm checklist when it triggers.
Speared
Unlock requirement: Unlock the Ballistazooka. The sidearm unlock itself is the complete condition.
Spiked
Unlock requirement: Unlock the Caged Hystrix. Count it toward the complete sidearm collection.
Guns. Lots of Guns
Unlock requirement: Unlock all Sidearms. Check every individual sidearm unlock before beginning wider cleanup.
Boss and challenge achievements
Headcase
Unlock requirement: Defeat The Nameless Captive. Peter’s Perfect Parry adds a separate execution challenge to this encounter.
It burnssssssssss
Unlock requirement: Defeat Droeg, the Conquerer. No particular weapon or finishing method is included in the condition.
It’s over now?
Unlock requirement: Defeat Zmey, the Unbidden. The named boss defeat is the full requirement.
Lost Your Head
Unlock requirement: Defeat Orrem, the Reclaimed. This is a direct encounter-completion achievement.
Nightmare Fuel
Unlock requirement: Defeat Sir Isaac, the Scholar-Prince. Add this encounter to your cleanup list if the achievement remains locked.
No, You Still Can’t Win
Unlock requirement: Take the Tar Golem to his Minimum Health. Follow the health condition literally; the achievement does not ask you to defeat the Tar Golem.
Peter’s Perfect Parry
Unlock requirement: Parry each one of The Nameless Captive’s headspins. This is distinct from simply winning the encounter.
Praise him!
Unlock requirement: Defeat The Monolith. No separate collection objective accompanies the defeat.
Something in the deep…
Unlock requirement: Defeat Hexapod. Track this as an encounter achievement rather than an exploration collectible.
Ultimate Gainz
Unlock requirement: Defeat Malborn Offspring. No special damage type or equipment condition is stated.
Wheelie Good Time
Unlock requirement: Defeat Magdalena, the Lady of the Woods. The named defeat is the complete requirement.
Collectible and exploration achievements
Bring My Ova Back to Me
Unlock requirement: Collect all of the Ova. Keep a dedicated Ova tally because the objective requires the entire set.
So Fresh, So Clean
Unlock requirement: Cleanse All Beacons. A Beacon leaves the checklist only after it has been cleansed.
Stoned
Unlock requirement: Find all Tarstones. Track Tarstones separately from Map Fragments and Ova.
Memory and lute-track achievements
Haunting Times
Unlock requirement: Watch your first Shell Memory. Watching one begins the memory-related achievement path.
Seeking the Past
Unlock requirement: Watch all Shell Memories. Finding a memory is insufficient if it has not been watched.
Heavy Metal
Unlock requirement: Play all Lute Tracks in the Game. Keep played tracks separate from tracks you have merely encountered.
Upgrade and bonding achievements
Decked Out
Unlock requirement: Reach the maximum bonding tier for a Shell at the Shellkeeper. Concentrating bonding progress on one chosen Shell directly serves this condition.
Over 9000
Unlock requirement: Max out a Weapon at the Tarforge. Focus your Tarforge investment on a chosen weapon until it reaches its maximum state.
Miscellaneous and completion achievements
Ascension
Unlock requirement: Discover the secret of the Mango. Keep this as a separate secret objective when reviewing unfinished achievements.
Baghead
Unlock requirement: You’ve mastered nothing and this is your reward. Pretty pointless, eh? Follow the deliberately unusual condition without substituting a mastery or collection goal.
Feed Me
Unlock requirement: Cause Egon to pass away. This concerns the named outcome involving Egon rather than a generic boss or equipment milestone.
No Lifer
Unlock requirement: Unlock All Achievements for Mortal Shell II. Complete every progression, collection, encounter, challenge, memory, upgrade, and bonding condition to finish the set.
Avoid mixing beta and original-game lists
Achievement lists for Mortal Shell, Mortal Shell: Enhanced Edition, its DLC, and the Mortal Shell 2 open beta are not interchangeable with the full Mortal Shell 2 list. Check the game title and exact achievement wording before following a checklist, even when familiar Shells, characters, or mechanics appear.
Achievement icon reference
These visuals come from the in-game assets for Mortal Shell 2. They are included as a practical identification reference for the names and entries in this guide.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do Mortal Shell achievements apply to Mortal Shell 2?
No. The original game and its sequel maintain separate achievement lists, so completing an objective in Mortal Shell does not unlock its apparent counterpart in Mortal Shell 2.
Is the open beta list the full Mortal Shell 2 achievement list?
No. The open beta contained nine achievements tied to the portion of the game available during the test, while the full list contains 53.
How should I handle hidden achievement names on platform stores?
Use each entry’s visible description and position as a spoiler-light placeholder, then match its title after the platform reveals it. A hidden title does not mean the achievement is absent from your platform’s list.
Which categories can I track early without route spoilers?
Track collection and character-development progress only as you encounter it, while leaving secret objectives and named boss entries collapsed. This preserves discovery while still showing which broad sets need attention later.
