Mortal Shell II Walkthrough — Blackridge Cliffs (Flooded Village, the Shattered Beacon & Proxima)

The Blackridge Cliffs chapter strings five rewards down one cliffside: a Beacon, a boss, a crossbow, a Shell and a battleaxe. It also ends in a tavern. Efficient order below.

The pass beacon

Teleport to Widow's Overlook, turn right behind the trial ground, and take the bridge up — the Blackridge Pass Beacon unlocks. Cleanse it, enter, and shoot the gunpowder jars with ranged attacks; the area is full of them. Open the chest for coins, cleanse the corruption, deliver the Ova — and grab the Epiphany behind the Beacon.

The Flooded Village

Cross the bridge, straight ahead then right up the next bridge. Clear the area, break the wooden wall bracing the stone door, and pass it from behind into the building — the Flooded Village dungeon. Clear it, then take the marked door right of the drop: the Grishash boss waits below. His Grishash Residue drops on death.

Ride the device to the upper area, clear it, and follow the arrow. Loot the Soggy Key by the house, drop down, and unlock the red-marked building: the Forgotten Crossbow rests on its table. Ride the adjacent elevator out.

Back at the pass Beacon, take the left road up, clear the top, and cleanse the corruption ahead. Climb into the Blackridge Cliffs village, clearing as you go — the Devout's Chalice sits on the statue, with a meditation point beside it.

The broken Beacon, the tomb and the axe

Turn left ahead and drop down; a Mammon Coin waits at the cliff. Back at the top, take the left road, shoot the explosive barrels, and collect three Red Stones — plus a Heart Stone from the villager's table. Leave through the village's left gate, clear the mob, and enter the Shattered Beacon: inside, the Proxima Shell unlocks with its memory scene.

Back on the surface, take the left cave into the Collapsed Tunnel — it holds the location hint for the Triarch Repeater (and begins collapsing once you check the map). Return to the broken Beacon, drop from its rear platform, and enter the Royal Tomb dungeon: break the crates, respect the traps and the suicide-adds behind the doors, and drop down.

Kill the elite, and the room hands over the Veteran's Battleaxe and a Backplate Stone. Ride the light back to the entrance and leave.

The feeding ground and the road home

Return to the broken Beacon and take the marked area: clear the mobs, loot the Thunder Shard and a Heart Stone, then cleanse the corruption on the way forward. Clear the next area, cleanse the left passage's corruption, and descend — a Red Stone waits in the sarcophagus. Back up, the respawned enemies guard a chest holding the Gloom Stone.

Up the stairs and through the door, the Feeding Ground dungeon opens: step on the marked plank to fall through, follow the tunnel, and throw the switch. Up top, the right room's chest holds the Scatter Stone. Exit, take the left road, then straight at the fork — the left cave holds the Shell-Nest Swarm boss, with the Justiciar's Stone on the stele in the cave behind him.

Finish at the trial ahead — the Unyielding Stone is the prize — then follow the arrows over the bridges, left at the fork, and up the slope to the One Legged Wolf tavern: speak with the nun at Marrow Keep first if her dialogue line is pending, and the chapter closes.
