Mortal Shell 2 The Withered Shoals

Mortal Shell 2 — Episode 13: The Withered Shoals The Falls kept their word. Episode 13 opens on death not being the end — we rise at the Ossinite Falls beacon and walk straight into the Withered Shoals: drowned towers, tide-roads, a frozen city past the dead timber. The Strange Grisha gets its rematch and eats the verdict — eleven thousand Gloom in one kill. A crevice holds something vast. The sky drops a Hexapod on us twice — the first visit cost us 1,331 Gloom — and its stolen heart, the Hexapod Core, comes home cold and patient. In the tar-sunk ruins a king crowns himself: Bor, the Deluded Monarch, and the throne owes what the throne owes. Eredrim remembers the Ovate, a silver knight watches us pass and asks no toll, the Sesters confess, and the Barren Crest beacon goes clean before the Shoals show us their edges. Three tarstones banked this episode: Strange Remnant, Hexapod Core, Monarch's Vestige. When the card closes: 46 deaths, 25 hours 45 minutes. ⏱ Chapters 0:00 The Withered Shoals 0:26 The Falls Kept Their Word 1:00 The Strange Grisha 1:31 Strange Remnant 2:04 Beacon in the Mist 2:36 Odious Crevice 3:14 Eredrim, the Venerable 3:31 What?
