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 ( cn_B + cn_RT ) 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 cn_LT + cn_RT 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

I'm kinda confused about checkpoints or save games in this mode. If we die we have to start from the very first cycle again? You mention going to the menu if something glitches, how exactly does this work? Because that seems like something thay can be easily exploitable using the cloud to make this completion a lot easier.

It's a roguelike, dying is part of the process. if you die you start from scratch but you don't cancel the progress regarding seeds and upgrades at the runic gate

It is possible to complete a cycle in an hour, so I can't tell you about the cloud, I haven't tried

Well, at least you don't start 100% from scratch. That's good to know. But if there's any form of checkpoint system that let's you exit the game, it's possible to exploit using the cloud. A perfect example would be making a backup before a boss so you can try the fight multiple times. This alone would be enough to make this a lot easier.

Yes, I believe it is possible to create a backup before the boss, I will do some tests and update the guide if I find something

Hi guys I tried it once... you are right game saves it when you left reverie to "main game", but I tried then to go back to reverie 3 times and when I get back and died save wasnt on xlive... after you left to main game, then you need to quit to dashboard and only after that save is uploaded. So after 30 secs you can jump back to game and continue with your save backed.
