With some tactical approach, you can make Mortal Shell play like a nice hack-n-slash game, minimizing its "souls-like" attempts to manufacture unnecessary layers of artificial difficulty.
I have created this guide to help beginner and intermediate players get a grip on the game's combat system, and enjoy the game more. This time, i focus on my second favorite weapon - Martyr's Blade. This weapon is extremely NOT straightforward, and requires various tactics, which are mostly different from what we learned in the earlier parts with the Hallowed Sword. Still, this weapon combines a satisfying impression of power with some fine- tuned, beautiful and thoughtful combat. And i would like to share its secrets with all of you.
I chose Solomon, The Scholar - as the player character - due to his greater stamina, which helps for a somewhat better handling of heavy weapons.
The tactics and experiments that i did with this weapon - are all in New Game+, so yes -
it will work perfectly fine in this mode.
