Mortal Shell - All Bosses (No Damage, No Shell)
All main boss fights from Mortal Shell (2020).
In my first 8-10 hours with Mortal Shell, I was utterly lost in the opening area, Fallgrim, repeatedly falling victim to normal enemies. Somehow, I ended up in the Shrine of Ash. It was here, after defeating the area boss, that the game finally clicked for me. Mastering the parry mechanic, despite its challenging timing, provided immense satisfaction when executed correctly. The Hardening mechanic served as a brilliant defensive strategy, offering a refreshing alternative to traditional blocking.
Interestingly, the main bosses proved to be underwhelming; I only died twice to them throughout my playthrough. It was the regular enemy mobs that posed a greater threat, leading to more of my deaths. Despite my efforts, the game's story remained a mystery, with little understanding gained as I progressed.
I found the hallowed sword to be the most useful weapon. In my opinion, its strike speed, damage output, and stamina consumption were perfectly balanced. The game's most overpowered weapon, the Axatana, could only be unlocked through DLC. I delved into the DLC content only after completing the main game. The overall experience was marred by several glitches that caused frustrating moments and even loss of progress.
Despite these challenges, I persisted and invested about 80 hours into the game, including 40 hours for two main game playthroughs and another 40 hours for the DLC 'The Virtuous Cycle'. Ultimately, my determination paid off as I managed to unlock 100% of the game's achievements, marking a comprehensive journey through Mortal Shell's challenging and occasionally frustrating world.
