How to unlock the Forever Alone achievement in Mortal Shell: Enhanced Edition - Definitive Guide
*MISSABLE*
For this achievement, you will have to beat the entire game as your basic Foundling form that you start with in the tutorial, or the slightly upgraded Obsidian Dark form. Be very careful never to bond with one of the four shells in the game. This should be done on your second playthrough so that you know the locations of the shells to avoid them, as well as the layout of the game world and the patterns of the bosses.
In your Foundling form, you will die in one hit from literally everything in the game. Your main goal will be to beat ONLY the required bosses and run from EVERYTHING else. Since you can't upgrade your shells, tar is useless, healing items won't help, and fighting enemies will only lead to frustration. The only items worth picking up are weapon upgrades. The video below is a great speed run you can follow for help.
Note: You should combine this achievement with "Life is Suffering" and "The Nihilist" for renouncing all shells and then beating the game in Obsidian Dark form.
