Quick Tip : The camp you run past at 28:36 has a Nascent Tar (2500 tar) in a chest behind some logs you need to hit and clear. It's very close by to the Fallgrim Tower so you don't need to farm the 2500 tar at the beginning of the game.

I owe my platinum to you, my friend! Fantastic walk-through.

In Crypt of Martyrs, drop to the left instead of the right on the bridge and you'll be right next to the sester. Found this by accident, followed the guide but fell the wrong way 😂 worked a treat!

I came here for the final boss tips, and left with the achievements. Thanks so much. My only tips for anyone else: 1) Whenever he jumps back and spawns the waves, de-lock your aim (this stops the wild camera swing if he attacks mid wave-dodge), immediately sprint forwards and spam roll through them, ignore whatever attack he tries until you're safely clear of the waves and have time to reset yourself and re-lock on. You don't really have to time your rolls through each wave, just go for it. 2) For the adds that spawn I just de-locked from the boss and spam rolled in a circle around around them once they'd got closer together and that grouped them up nicely for the RB/R1 slice then immediately harden. Let them release you and your hardened attack immediately wipes them. The spam rolling also negates any attacks the boss might throw at you whilst you're running evading the adds. 3)Whenever he launches himself in the air, just spam roll until he's landed and you're clear and you're safe to re-lock-on. 4) If you down his head by regular strikes, dodge away as instructed in the video. If you down his head from the special attack RB&LB/R1&L1 then you can stay put, the attack animation protects you from damage and you can immediately start wailing on him. Thanks again brother.

With Crucix the Twiceborn the best method that u can do to avoid his projectiles(arrows),is to just harden your self and to wait for him to finish his attacks. After 10 arrows about , he will stop and continues his melee attacks.

I found a very good way to deal with the jumpers at +5 hallowed sword. R2 and harden so the attack animation is almost done. The sword should be very close to it's furthest point from you and lock on to an approaching enemy. They usually take 40 damage when walking into the sword and another 40 after breaking the harden.

57:30 Literally died the same way. Ice needs to be nerfed. Great vid!

For all those playing on the enhanced edition.. A literal life-saving tip for the dark one is to harden mid-swing during the swarm and they will literally kill themselves by running into your sword.

Top tier guide, as usual. Finally got the platinum! Not gonna lie, I kind of fell in love with this game, I really hope the developers make a new, bigger game with more bosses, etc.

Hey man, thank you very much for this run, thanks to you I managed to obtain the platinum (since obsidian mode and no shell were the last two trophies I needed). The last boss took me over 2 hours to beat in this mode! I actually managed to be more agressive than you showed in your video; after the swipe I'd hit three times, harden, hit 3 times again, dodge, hit again and then he'd fall down and I kept him down for a little while using the weapon ability. In my winning run his health was down to about a third before he whirlpooled, and fortunately I managed it so he didn't absorb much health back. The real challenge was when the skeletons came running at me as a group, which got me on so many tries. I'm just glad it's all over now, even if I adored my time with this game. Thanks so much again!!

Amazing guide! Appreciate the amount of effort you put into this. Everything you need to renounce humanity successfully.

I like how the twin born when you stun lock him and can still shoot the crossbow through his back. Wtf

Love the advice and the frequent reassurance

Casually watching the experienced play, you really learn some essential tips... I did not know that rolling cancels out fire damage.. lol

As of the current version, with Tarsus 6 R1s during his ritual attack in the first phase does not stagger him, and they've also patched it to break your harden. He also does not take tick damage from the flame spike (in the rare event that it can even connect to a stationary target). This game at one point I guess was decent, but it now breaks its own rules, which is just shitty and shallow.

Amazing walk-through as always Ben. Thank you for all the effort you put into creating this content :)

I was stuck like forever on the "Ice boss" after following someone else's tutorial. But after trying your method, I got him on the first try. Thank you :)

Just completed. Thanks for your guidance and for making it look so easy!

Phenomenal guide. Thank you for greatly helping to get the achievements for me.

That fire spike upgrade is hard to get but makes this run so easy! Thanks for the guide man really helpful

thanks for the guide man, it really helped me to get the platinum!

Watched the whole walkthrough, magnefique! That was excellent! Perfectly played, there's so many great tips here! I'm preparing for my shelless run and it's kind of scary. Daunting, really. But your video calmed me down a lot so thanks for that 😄 Calm, collected voice, great walkthrough. Subscribed! Much love, take care ☺️

Thanks for this man. Just got the platinum now. Cheers!

A totally brilliant guide. Thank you so much

Thanks for your guide. I just did follow it step by step and it was much easier then I thought. Even the final boss, guess i did it on just 5 trys or so. Rly thank you 😘

honest and chill guide. will try to follow this path

Great vid! Was very helpful in completing my no shell run. TY

Thank you so much! Just platinumed the enhanced edition on ps5! Note: there are some differences in enemy behaviour in this version, probably due to the fact the game received some patches after this guide was done. Especially the final boss, couldn't prevent him from spawning minions at least twice, it was a loooong fight

Great walkthrough, got the plat today! Thanks Ben!

At first I didn't thought I was able to get platinum, because of no shell run... But, Ben, this video inspired me to try and it was really really fun! I even liked it more then gaming with shell :D I got my platinum on my ps4 and later once again on ps5 :)))) Thanks!

Hey bud, you helped me get through my obsidian run. Thanks very much

Thanks a lot for the effort! I truly appreciate it! Amazing guide!

Keep rolling, just like Limp Bizkit hahaha, love it, thank`s to you, the song is on repeat in my head haha.. great guide btw, you are awesome!

the cuts are just not noticeable dude, holy shit, also thank you for the help gonna try a no shell run next

Lots of great tips, 🙏 thank you! Great guide

This helped a lot. Thank you so much!

This really helped me get my platinum thanks 😁

Great run and explanation - thank you 😁

Amazing tutorial! thank you!

Thanks mate really helpful 👍

Thanks man 🙏🏻

Almost done with my first playthrough of mortal shell. I would never play it enough to platinum but this is a really nice video lot of skill obviously cheers

Excellent video. Cheers 👍🏻

"And yes, I died." Lmao. First video I've seen from you but you've earned a sub from me. If u put half as much effort into anything else as you did here I know it will be awesome. Keep rollin' rollin' rollin' rollin'

Excellent guide. Got the plat yesterday. Thank you!

Thank u so much. Yo made me succeed in this second run for the platinum ❤️

Holy crap ur walkthrough was so useful. Thank you so much! That last fight was so obnoxious for me, he kept spawning the lil guys it was so annoying.

Thank you it was really helpful

Great video!

The outskirts to Tarus’s arena killed me more times than he ever could

Legend

Ill say you can get a free 2500 thingy in a chest early! But also, never run ever in the mist, just roll dont even walk much as if you sprint you sprint into there attack rolling they effectively become a joke its great :o! the boss guide so far have been great!

Quick tip for players trying to get Forever Alone trophy / achievement do NOT go to far from the perimeter of this boss fight it's an instant death.

Very helpful guide

This game was so thoughtfully and lovingly crafted. I cannot wait for Tuesday for my PS4 physical release.

THANK YOU! JUST GOT THE PLAT

Done and done, during last fight, whenever he sends minions after you, just get them all bunched, get a bit of space, lock on to the front runner and use the normal first R2 attack, as it is extended, harden. They'll all just dive straight onto your sword. Great guide fella, i'd have never played a second playthrough had I not seen this video and well. I think I might go have a go with Tiel now that I can dodge like a master. Also, you sound a bit like Simon Pegg, enjoy that info. Haha, ta buddy.

What you want to do instead, during the unchained fight when he sends his minions is first shepherd them into one group *then attack and harden at the same time* and as they jump at you, they all casually die.

Nice. Will be using this for my run. Subbed aswell.

Thank you :)

thanks man, i owe you my platinum.

The first Martyr was the most annoying fight for me when I can't stay locked on.

ive been putting off this achievement for months because in my opinion, the game is good but it isnt finished. it has a lot of flaws. animations, enemy placements, level design makes this run frustrating. however, this guide made it much more barable and fun. thank you :)

Thanks dud you help me for platinum ❤

Well done mate

Reckon the second total recall boss has learnt some new moves Ben, he can fire arrows without crouching now just straight out of the blue

Just as a tip, quitting the game right as you die and restarting keeps all enemies you killed dead while respawning at your checkpoint, helps with those areas where you have multiple archers

You're a beast Ben

mega clip, respekt

Hats off mister

Thanks for this! Got the platinum thanks to you! Legend 👍🏼

Do you know if you can get the axatana in obsidian form without messing up your shell-less playthrough? I beat hadren then warped back to base with the mask to not attempt to enter the DLC shell and that led to me apparently not being able to use the axatana. It does let me rechallenge the boss however.

You crazy for this one

Thanks, this helped me a lot, just got the platinum on the PS5 version.

if ur patient u can cheese the game, the ballistazooka ammo, farm ornate coins, moonshines and basically spam ur weapon art since ur invuln doing them

Excellent guide many thanks mate gained a sub 👌

"Whenever they're frogs about... Harden" Owno.

nice ty!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks got the video although it's a yr later

I know that this is two yrs old, however, I have one question in regard to this. In New Game Plus do you get the Obsidian Dark Form as a shade for the foundling?

Recently got this game and my girlfriend calls it fake dark souls. lol.. I’m loving it though thanks for this video!

I reached Tarsus, the winter boss, almost without dying. Qualifying him as the easiest is overrated, I’m doing now my 30rd trial, still without success. After more than 30 trials I got Tarsus. The final boss was much more simpler, a very long fight, but just a few trials.

Is the Seat of Infinity supposed to be the second dungeon? I notice when fast traveling it's listed second but it feels like it's the hardest dungeon by a wide margin.

Damn I dont know did they add more mob waves to Unchained at DLC patch or something but that gave me a headache. I have not seen more than the "healing" mob wave before more waves appear in any of the older videos.

was looking for how to get past the wall of gun bitches on the way back from Crucix, and thats what im doing and still dying. great, more rng for enemy accuracy.

I don't like talking to sester in the fire and ice area cause the run back to boss is not that far both you can reach in 2 bars of stamina and then you can just use the tarnished mask to get back painless but the obsidian area i do take sesters cause it is far and the run back is pretty easy you can get back in 1 bar of stamina Some tips were helpful for the last boss but they've patched him now he can't be stunlocked and throws too many mobs i had the resole offering and i already had 4 ticks of resolve and i used golden bell had the resolve but boss has s now (unchained) Over all it was much easier to get these trophies then i thought Also on the mobs in last boss they all do jump attacks which are very easy to parry if you use the 3rd type of parry you can kill all the guys in 1 parry 👋👍

Having trouble with first martyr Ben how do you get so many hit in when he plunges his sword into the ice I manage 4 max and then into bye bye

Hi. Does it matter when I pick up the Obsidian Form to receive the game completion trophy? I took obsidian form before the first boss, but after I was in Fallgrim Tower and talking to my Sester.

I just can't seem to get the hang of the last boss. I'm been using shell how do I keep it resolve high like that mine empties

With the proper timing of spike attacks you can essentially stun-lock the Unchained for the entire second phase of the fight, thus avoiding those annoying black dudes. The Golden Bell helps building the resolve, but it's also possible without it. The key is not standing right in front of him when he drops his head so that you can continuously attack (preferably with a R1-R1-R2 combo or something like that) and build the resolve meter. Ideally you should be able to build two stacks then use the spike as he tries plunging into the water. Repeat this until the end. Does not work always, but eventually it does.

When the persons appear, collect them like he did but do a jump attack and harden in the air instead. Much better strategy! Peace out I got my plat.

Is this still relevant with the current ps5 version of the game? I hear final boss is harder

You know.....this difficulty make me wonder of this game devs sanity and how they get this job.

Hi could you do a 100% platinum trophy walkthrough would be great

🤘🏻

Rollin' Rollin ROLLIN' .. yEAAAAH Edit: I never thought I should harden even in mid-air for a girl. Good advice! :D

Just completed my obsidian dark form run, I must say the seat of infinity boss was not fun, and the final boss was a fucking pain, but it’s over

It's looking like this will be the first platinum I've given up on in at least a few years. The final boss has me wanting to gouge my own eyeballs out I've seen that you can stun lock him but I'm on os5 and it doesnt seem to work for me.

Didn’t die on any bosses but I’m having problems with the last boss just can’t bring myself to go through it
