GG Brief Editorial Desk · AI-assisted, source attributed

Cold Symmetry released a Week 1 update for Mortal Shell 2 on August 29 that buffs slow, heavy weapons and makes upgrade currencies more available. The patch introduces Fragile Tarstones and Glimpse Stones that break to yield Tarcores and Glimpses, adds a Mether's Severance item to refund invested Glimpses, and lets shopkeeper Merrick sell Glimpse Stones and Tarcores. These changes let players more reliably max Tarstone and shell upgrades and make heavier weapons like the Obsidian Hammer and The Great Martyr's Blade more viable in combat.

• Update released August 29 increases damage and poise for heavy weapons; Obsidian Hammer and The Great Martyr's Blade received notable damage boosts.
• Tarcores are now obtainable from new Fragile Tarstones that break and yield Tarcores, making Tarstone upgrades easier to max.
• Glimpses can be acquired by shattering new Glimpse Stones; Mini-Beacons no longer reward Glimpses, but interacting with the Gloom Siphon at Marrow Keep after collecting Ova grants Glimpses.
• Mether's Severance allows refunding Glimpses to respec shells, and shopkeeper Merrick now sells Glimpse Stones and Tarcores.
