How to unlock the Seedbearer achievement in Mortal Shell: Enhanced Edition - Definitive Guide
The seeds are obtained by completing a cycle, after obtaining it, give it to Twin Sister.
Here is a quick guide on how I complete them:
Preparation
I initially acquired resources and unlocked permanent bonuses at the runic gate, here is the order in which I unlocked the skills:
1) Retain Tar - 100% MAXED
2) Improved Last Chance - +30% MAXED
3) Resolve Power - 3 MAXED (Kicks and Parry are a lifesaver)
4) Abundance - +30% MAXED
After that you can focus on the last three of the first page, in the process I also unlocked the new weapon, the Axatana. I find it definitely superior to the other four weapons, in terms of damage and moveset.
The Axatana
The katana form is perfect for melting bosses, from what I understand the running attack ( + ) stuns bosses for the number of consecutive hits, combined hardening is the ultimate weapon.
The axe shape on the other hand is perfect for killing mobs, the same running attack hits twice and has considerable damage.
There are two exceptions: the first is the Crucix boss, the axe is better, the same goes for the final boss but I talk about it better below.
Cycle structure
The cycle is structured like this: you have to access a temple, find the key to the boss of the area from a pylon and once you have defeated the boss himself he will give you a teleport to the next temple, and so on up to the third boss who will give you a teleport for the final boss.
DO NOT SPEND THE 5000 TAR TO ACCESS THE TEMPLE
In the starting area there is always a pylon that gives one of the three access keys to the temple, take the time to explore and acquire resources and instincts.
Once the yellow keys have been obtained, it is possible to teleport to the entrance of the temple or the boss using a token that will be automatically added to the inventory this means you only need to explore the area once so take your time.
Once you understand how the yellow keys and teleporters work the cycle is pretty fast, you just have to focus on beating the bosses and finding upgrades.
Final Boss
N.d.R
At the time of writing, the game has more than one bug that can break your run
I found that if you kill any boss with a special weapon attack + if the boss has a second phase your character loses the ability to attack. If, on the other hand, you kill one of the stages of the final boss, the game does not consider it dead and you will remain in an infinite loop on the map.
There is no checkpoint so if it happens you have lost the run, the only way I have found to get around the problem is to go back to the main menu but this means facing the boss fight all over again with all the damage suffered.

Save Cloud
The game saves everytime you exit to the menu. It will shortly upload to the cloud. If you die you can immediately press home, hit start on Mortal Shell, manage game and add-ons, down to saved games and delete your save from the console. When you start the game up again it will re-sync your last save on the cloud from the last time you exited to menu. JayD101

Your English is great!
I just want to clarify something, I've just made it to my first boss room in virtuous cycle but the boss isn't there. Are you saying in your guide that once I've entered one of the three boss 'areas'(seat of infinity for example) I have to search the pillars that are in that area to find a key to make the boss spawn?
Great guide!

that's right, a pylon will have an extra yellow instinct that allows you to face the boss
