Mortal Shell II — Revered Gland: Marrow Keep Merchant Purchase

Published 2026-09-172 min read

One Revered Gland in Mortal Shell II doesn't need exploring at all — it's simply bought from the merchant in Marrow Keep. Here is where to find his stall, what to expect in the shop menu, and why this purchase should be early.

Not every Revered Gland hides in a shrine. One of them is sitting in a shop inventory in Marrow Keep, waiting for anyone with the coins — which makes it the most reliable healing upgrade in Mortal Shell II.

How to reach the merchant

  1. From the Marrow Keep Beacon, take the stairs on the left and walk along until you spot the Gloom Siphon device.
  2. Turn right at the Gloom Siphon — the merchant's stall is right there.
  3. Browse his wares and buy the Revered Gland. It appears alongside other consumables; if you are coin-rich after early exploring, this is the first purchase worth making.

Why buy this one first

Healing charges compound: every additional flask use pays off in every single fight for the rest of the run, while weapon upgrades mostly help one build at a time. Coins, meanwhile, can be farmed — so the gland's price is really just a small detour.

Round out your flask with the Widow's Overlook shrine gland and the Sunken Village pickup, then start on Synaptic Vessels to fatten each individual heal.
