How many beacons are in Mortal Shell 2?

49 in total, spread across 11 regions. Three — Marrow Keep, Widow's Overlook and Outskirts of Mammon — are already cleansed when you find them, so 46 count toward the cleansing trophy.

What does cleansing a beacon do?

Cleansing a beacon opens a dungeon attached to it — clear the dungeon to complete the cleanse. Cleansed beacons act as fast travel points, restore your Health and Resolve, and pay out Ova, the collectible that gates the endgame regions. Beacons after the six major bosses hold the most Ova at 26 each.

How do I unlock fast travel in Mortal Shell 2?

You need Mether's Breath. Once obtained, approach any beacon and choose the Mether's Breath option to travel between every beacon you have unlocked. Before that, the only fast travel is back to the Marrow Keep hub.

Are any beacons missable?

No. Any beacon you skip can be cleansed in free-roam after the final boss, before you choose to enter New Game+.

Mortal Shell 2 Map & All 49 Beacon Locations

Mortal Shell 2 contains 49 beacons across 11 regions. Three are pre-cleansed when you find them (Marrow Keep, Widow's Overlook, Outskirts of Mammon), leaving 46 to cleanse for the So Fresh, So Clean trophy. Beacons are the game's fast travel network — they restore Health and Resolve, and each cleanse pays Ova, the collectible that opens the endgame. Below: the mechanics, then the complete region-by-region list.

Fast travel is not free: you need Mether's Breath before beacons let you travel between each other — until then, your only shortcut is returning to the Marrow Keep hub. Mercifully, Ruk's Maps (bought from a merchant) mark beacons and points of interest on your map. Fuel your runs with the gloom farm loop, and route the opening region with where to go first.

Beacon mechanics in 60 seconds

Cleanse to claim: interacting with a corrupted beacon opens its dungeon — clear it to complete the cleanse and add the beacon to your network.
Ova payout: every cleansed beacon pays Ova; the beacons guarding the six major bosses pay the most at 26 each. 168 Ova opens the Unfound Path, home of the Monolith.
Restore point: beacons refill Health and Resolve on use — which is exactly what makes the beacon-adjacent farms in the gloom guide so efficient.
Trophies: cleansing everything grants So Fresh, So Clean and, because Ova come from beacons, feeds Bring My Ova Back to Me.
