Mortal Shell Reverie - Get OP Early Guide (The Virtuous Cycle DLC) 

Awesome, glad to have helped! Cheers!

@@tremorism let us know of any other great perk and stat areas ?

@@mussman3000 The only time it's worth sharing a seed is when you have either zero upgrades on a runic wall (like in this vid) or max upgrades on everything, as the instincts can change depending on your upgrades. And by the time you are maxed out on everything, you've probably already run quite a few cycles and are getting bored and ready to move on. I'm guessing most people who run multiple cycles will stop once they've done all shells, probably.

@@tremorism do all 5 shells have different shade stats? like the butcher shade?

@@mussman3000 Yes, each shell has multiple shades: FOUNDLING: Super Meatboi: starts cycle with the Super Hard Instinct. Aurum Ascendant: Enemies killed have a 30% increased chance to drop an item Obsidian: Starts the cycle with 100 health which can't be increased, the Sprint Cost Instinct, Movement Speed +100 and, Runic Syphon +80. The foundling slowly loses health over time. HARROS: Sun Vassal: Harros starts the cycle with a Tar Drop +20 Instinct and with 10,000 additional Tar which is lost upon dying. Burden Keeper: Harros has +10% chance to find Harden and Kick instincts from pillars. Corrupted: Starts the cycle with the Unbreakable Instinct, it cannot be replaced. Harros suffers +100% damage from any source. SOLOMON: The Count: Solomon has +10% chance to find Combat and Ballistazooka Instincts from Pillars. Kvlt: Solomon starts the cycle with Runic Syphon +15 and Fire Damage Resist +50 Instincts. Corrupted: Solomon starts the cycle with the Resolve Gain + Instinct and with +1 Max Resolve. Solomon's Resolve Gain is blocked while fighting Bosses. EREDRIM: Yellow King: Eredrim starts the cycle with a +10 to all the Resist Instincts. Anointed Butcher: Eredrim starts the cycle with a Damage +20 Instinct. Corrupted: Eredrim starts the cycle with the Regeneration Instinct, it cannot be replaced. Eredrim is no longer healed by Pillars. TIEL: Slytherin: Tiel has +10% chance to find Dodge and Roll Instincts from Pillars. Serpent's Lust: Tiels starts the cycle with a Poision Damage Resist +110 Instinct. Corrupted: Tiel starts the cycle with Poison Damage Resist +100 and Max Stamina + Instincts but receives +100% damage from Fire and Freeze. HADERN: Fool's Gold: Hadern has +10% chance to find Parry and Riposte Instincts from Pillars Crimson Herald: Hadern starts the cycle with the Finishing Blow Instinct. Corrupted: Hadern starts the cycle with the Enhanced Parry instinct, which cannot be replaced and Unparryable Attack Resist +50. Hadern receives +200% damage from parryable attacks. via www.reddit.com/r/MortalShell/comments/pa1sut/all_shells_benefit/

Yes, I feel the same way. If you want to get to doing just the Reverie faster, I made a fast walkthrough guide for the base game here: ru-vid.com/group/PLsxfoGQwyeP7cn7F5aZXJ037aLb8ma8Wg

In your feed? Pretty weird that. RU-vid is weird man.

Nice! I don't remember if I ignored it or missed it. Probably just missed it. Cheers!

Thanks and yep! You end up with a super strong character, a good chance at multiple lives if you need them so long as you keep accessing pillars after being knocked out of your shell, and the ability to easily farm for more upgrades without worrying about dying. And the best thing is, anyone can do this regardless of skill or experience with the game, which is great because this roguelike expansion is really really fun. The more people who get to enjoy it the better!

Glad to have helped! My memory on all that is pretty much gone now lol. I'm sure there's a list of seed numbers on Reddit or something, but yeah, Wo Long is consuming all of my memory right now lol.

@@tremorism hahaha awesome. OK buddy. Well done foundling last night. Now just obsidian... I try not to use guides. Only one I used was yours! Saved me a lot of time!

@@tremorism wo long dynasty any good???

@@GreekAndro Absolutely love it. Most fun I've had playing a game in a long time.

Damn, they patched that? Well that sucks.

Excellent. Re your question, I don't really understand it. What do you mean by "pillars have the tokens for that specific number?"

@@tremorism You gave a specific number that I used- 869148. The starting point is the same and so are all the pillars and what you get from them each time. One has a token to get in the boss area or you can spend 5000 tar. Just curious if you know what pillar had the token to get into the area? I have only got one token in a week worth of playing and that was from a Radom cycle. Don’t mind using my tar but been using it for upgrades. Your cycle number keeps everything the same. Guess just need to find the pillar with the token.

@@shanec3555 Sorry, can't remember exactly. I pretty much just run around opening everything until I get it. You've made me think about memorizing a token/pillar layout on maps for a speedrun though!

@@tremorism Yea. That cycle number keeps everything the same and found the token pillar which is always the same one and just run straight to it. Kinda a cheat but it’s like learning a whole new game and where enemies/items are. The random cycles…all is different and just throws you in a different mess each time because all are different. I have not completed a cycle yet, however, if one does not follow your video with the new weapon, upgrades, etc., it will be almost impossible to complete.

@@shanec3555 The good news is it's not really a cheat because once you complete a cycle you get the seed from that cycle, but only once. So basically you can memorize a cycle for farming or something, but for completing it, completing it once means it's time to do a different one.

No probs, cheers!

The Yellow King shade gives +10 to all resist instincts. Might be some kind of glitch going on if you're seeing the Yellow King perks for the Anointed Butcher shade.

No, the two modes are separate.

Nope, I had no issue with that specifically. I did have some bugs though, such as the bosses at the end freezing forcing me to restart the final boss fight a few times.

@@tremorism thx. The boss token was in Eternal Narthex for me, not in Dim Gate. I should have suspected that much, it was right in the middle of the level, visible from all corners, and surrounded by a mob. First cycle done, phew. I got lucky to get the Unbreakable instinct, helpful for final boss for sure.

@@sebastienbarre Hopefully you'll sail through bug free!

I'm afraid not. I think of it as a completely separate game (I personally feel the Reverie is how the game should always be played, it just feels right to me).

You have to buy it now, though it's very cheap I believe. I got it free (it was made available for free in its first 7 days as a way of saying thank you to existing players for supporting the game).

Yeah, I just looked and its 6 bucks

That's odd, you should. I have no idea what's up with that.

Did you pick the same options as me, including Eredrim as your character?

@@tremorism can't remember So everything has to be exact? Not just number I already unlock hardem and axatana You farm Bunch tars with that number? Sorry Didn't Watch full video since the layout is different for me Hoping Patches don't have anythin' to do with It

@@Milton94 I think it does depend on shell. Seeds are meant to be community shared so I doubt they patched it. Try it with Eredrim and see how you go, I'd be interested to hear.

@@tremorism It Worked Now.

I'm not sure what you mean by your question?

Apologies I don’t know why auto correct keeps gutting me…(trust me it did it again) but what I’m trying to ask is what is the point of reverie… aside from slight story (hella interesting if I don’t say so myself) but what point does it serve???

@@johnsmith-ln8je Think of Reverie as being a game unto itself. It's separate to the main game, is structured differently, and turns the original game into something more akin to a rogue-like. It also expands on the original game by giving you multiple ways to replay but have those ways be different in how they play out, since random seeds in the Reverie change not only the drops you get, but the shape of the world as well. Basically, the developers gave those of us who love Mortal Shell a new way to play the game over and over and have it be somewhat fresh each time. You could say the 'point' was to give us more fun via increased replayability. I personally prefer Reverie to the main game. I love it and feel like it's exactly how Mortal Shell should really be played.

Yes, but you have to unlock it by defeating all Hadern's.

The Anointed Butcher Shade perk is the same for all Reverie runs, for all players, and that's +20 damage. If yours is different, it's gotta be a bug. I'd be interested to see what your Reverie start mission screen says when you select it if you want to post an image.

Interact with the statue of Sester Genessa. It's on the first floor.

@@tremorism I did but nothing happend ;o ;s so i tried to exit to main menu and back in the game again and that took me back..

thank you
