How acquisition is described

Official wording tells players to:

Seek Tiel’s remains
Possess his flesh
Awaken innate abilities

We will only publish a pin-level location route after hands-on verification. Until then, treat community coordinates as unconfirmed.

Prequel context (clearly labeled)

In Mortal Shell (2020), Tiel was associated with a more mobile / stamina-leaning identity. That history is useful for expectations, but sequel balance is not guaranteed to mirror the first game. Anything carried from 2020 is marked Prequel, not Official.

Roster context

Official materials repeatedly state Mortal Shell II has eight playable Shells. Public store text currently names Tiel explicitly among them. Other named bodies may appear in marketing or beta client data later; this wiki promotes a Shell to its own page only when acquisition + role are sourceable.

Practical beta advice

Finding Tiel is one of the best beta goals because the Shell fantasy is core to the sequel pitch
Historical note: possessed Shell progress from the Open Beta did not carry into retail saves
The permanent beta rewards are the Flayed Harbinger cosmetic and optional prologue skip after Marrow Keep — not the Shell itself
