Easy Mode in Mortal Shell 2 is unlocked by picking up and equipping the Slayer Seal in Marrow Keep, but doing so disables trophies for that save.

How the Slayer Seal changes combat
Successful executions and ripostes restore health and Resolve while the Slayer Seal is equipped. This sustain lets you recover during combat while replenishing the resource used for powerful abilities.
Your Sidearms also deal Break Damage, applying more pressure to enemy defenses and creating additional opportunities to riposte. Together, the recovery and Break Damage bonuses make mistakes less punishing without replacing Mortal Shell 2’s core combat mechanics.
Achievement and trophy lockout
The penalty begins when you equip the Slayer Seal and applies across that save file; achievements and trophies are not merely suspended while the item remains equipped.
Unequipping the Seal is not known to restore them on the same save, so make the choice as though the lockout is permanent.
Keep the Slayer Seal unequipped on any completion save. Use it only for a run where achievements or trophies do not matter.
How difficulty selection works in Mortal Shell 2
Mortal Shell 2 has no traditional difficulty selector. The default challenge is active from the beginning, while collectible items apply optional modifiers.
The Slayer Seal provides the easier experience. Its harder opposite is the Gloombound Flame, which is used to activate Night Mode.
