The Shrine of Trials in Mortal Shell 2 contains several puzzles that can be tricky to solve, especially if you are unsure how to interpret the clues or position the pillars correctly. Completing the dungeon is also important if you want to obtain the Axe and Dagger. In this guide, we’ll walk you through all Shrine of Trials puzzle solutions in Mortal Shell 2.
Once you get the Chapel Key, head left from the Mushroom Village Beacon to reach the Chapel. Use the key to unlock the Chapel Door and enter.
Inside, defeat the cultists and continue through the Chapel until you reach a room with a statue in the centre. Examine the statue to reveal a message: “Gaze upon your king so true, back and back you shall pass through.”
To progress, face the statue and simply walk backwards. This will cause you to pass through the hidden wall and reveal the secret passage. Continue through the area and defeat the enemies inside.
In the next room, you will encounter a pressure plate puzzle. There is a pressure plate on the floor and a pillar that you need to move on these plates. You can move the pillar by attacking it with your weapon. The pillar can only move in specific directions, which are indicated by the markings on the floor.
Push the pillar onto the pressure plate. Once the plate is activated, the passage will open, allowing you to move into the next room.
The next room contains two movable pillars and two pressure plates. First, move the left-side pillar to the far right side of the room, so that it stands in a straight line with the right-side pillar. Now, hit the right-side pillar to move it onto the pressure plate.
Now, move the left-side pillar, which is in the far-left corner, back onto the pressure plate on the left side of the room. Once both pressure plates are activated, the next passage will open.
Head through the newly opened passage and prepare for a fight against an armoured knight. Defeat the knight to clear the area.
Now, interact with the statue in the room to loot the Axe and Dagger.
