Mortal Shell II — Cursed Child Location (Revered Beacon Dungeon)

Published 2026-09-174 min read

The Cursed Child is Mortal Shell II's summon sidearm: a wandering spirit that hunts enemies down on its own. Claim it in the Revered Beacon dungeon after shattering three statues and its mini-boss — route and survival tips inside.

The Cursed Child is the saddest weapon in Mortal Shell II — a spirit stranded between life and death that aches to be held, and defends whoever carries it with terrifying devotion. As a sidearm it summons a wandering ghost that tracks and attacks enemies on its own.

A devoted little ghost that fights so you do not have to.

The route in

  1. Fast travel to the monastery gate Beacon and take the stairs to the north-west, toward the rolling-ball enemy's path.
  2. Cross to the western platform and drop down to the lower ledge marked by the bone gate.
  3. Head north past the hammer-wielding enemy. The entrance to the Revered Beacon dungeon is on your right.
  4. Dodge the golden beam. Inside, the central tower fires a tracking beam that chases you and keeps damaging you until you break line of sight behind a wall. It locks onto enemies too — bait them into it when you can.
  5. Circle the area counterclockwise, climb to the tower, and attack the central pillar to shut the beam off.
  6. Shatter the three statues and defeat the mini-boss at the end. The Cursed Child is your reward.

What it plays like

  • Fire and forget. The summoned spirit seeks targets on its own, adding damage while you focus on dodging — a genuine second combatant.
  • Narrow rooms are the danger. The dungeon on the way in is cramped and full of ghost-type enemies; getting surrounded there is the main way this trip goes wrong.
  • Pairs with defensive builds. While the Child harasses, you harden, block and punish — pressure without exposure.
