Egon is in the central tower inside Castigator’s Keep, and the Feed Me trophy unlocks when you give him enough Gloom that he passes away.
Egon is one of those NPCs that’s easy to walk straight past, and the Feed Me trophy is the only one in the game tied to feeding an NPC. He asks for Gloom, takes it a chunk at a time, and eventually dies in return for a payout — but you have to find him first, and he’s tucked away rather than out in the open. Here’s exactly where he sits in Castigator’s Keep and what the offering actually involves.
Where Egon is and what Feed Me needs
| Detail | Answer |
|---|---|
| Area | Castigator’s Keep, southern region |
| Nearest Beacon | Castigator’s Keep Beacon |
| Exact landmark | Central tower, ground floor |
| Trophy condition | Cause Egon to pass away |
| Reward | Returns more Gloom than you feed him |
Key Egon waits inside the keep’s central tower, southwest of the Castigator’s Keep Beacon, on the ground floor. He’s not out on the ramparts or on some exterior ledge, which is where a lot of people waste time looking — he’s in the tower at the heart of the castle interior, just past the main gate. The trophy description itself is blunt: Cause Egon to pass away, and the only way that happens is by feeding him Gloom.
How to find Egon in Mortal Shell 2
Start at the Castigator’s Keep Beacon
Fast travel in and head down the stone stairs toward the large gate directly ahead.
Take the shortcut if it’s open
If you already unlocked the gate on your right during earlier exploration, turn right and follow that path in toward the inner castle.
Otherwise loop the outer wall
With the gate still locked, circle the outer walls and enter through the broken section of wall on the right, then pull the lever inside to permanently open the main gate.
Climb the slope by the gate
From the now-open gate, go up the slope next to it toward the tower standing at the center of the keep.
Enter the tower to reach Egon
Step inside and you’ll find Egon waiting on the ground level, ready to take an offering.
How feeding Egon Gloom works
Talk to Egon and he’ll offer to accept your Gloom as tribute. You don’t hand it over all at once and you don’t need the full amount the first time you meet him — the game banks what you’ve given and keeps a running total across as many visits as you want. Feed him what you can spare, go farm more, come back, and your progress is still there.
How much he needs before he dies is 20,000 Gloom in current builds — once you cross the threshold a short scene plays, Egon thanks you, and he passes away. That’s the moment the Feed Me trophy pops. Crucially, this is a net gain, not a sacrifice: he hands back more than you gave, so the Gloom you fed him isn’t gone.
Mistakes that cost players time
The biggest time-sink is hunting for Egon in the wrong place — searching the wider southern map or the outer ramparts instead of the specific tower just beyond the main gate. He’s inside the keep, not on the exterior.
The other traps are all about the Gloom. Some players skip Egon entirely because they think the tribute is money down the drain — it isn’t, since he pays it back with interest. Others assume they need the whole total in hand before it’s worth talking to him, when the offering stacks over multiple trips. And there’s no combat route here: you can’t earn this one by fighting him, only by feeding him until he dies on his own.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you miss the Feed Me trophy?
Yes. It’s one of the game’s missable bronze trophies and the only one attached to an NPC, so nothing in normal story progression unlocks it for you — if you never feed Egon enough Gloom to kill him, you simply won’t get it and may need another playthrough.
Do you need to pay all the Gloom in one visit?
No. You can give it in small batches — older builds accepted it in 1,000-Gloom increments — and the total is saved permanently, so you can leave the keep, farm elsewhere, and return without losing any of the progress you’ve already banked.
Do you lose the Gloom you give to Egon?
No, you come out ahead. When Egon passes away he returns roughly double what you contributed — with the current 20,000 requirement, that means getting 40,000 Gloom back — so completing the interaction is a profit rather than a cost.
Don’t hoard for the full amount before starting — feed Egon Gloom the moment you can spare it, since it stacks across visits and he pays it all back with interest anyway.
