You can roll through the entire first area to reach Enslaved Grisha, but then you have to fight it to progress. Lastly, go through the Crypt of Martyrs area.After killing the boss roll your way back to Fallgrim. Roll through all the way to the boss, making sure to constantly dodge while you are near the crossbow enemies, as one bolt hit will kill you.
MORTAL SHELL GORF FEEDING UPGRADE
Go through Seat of Infinity next, grabbing either of the weapon upgrades here to upgrade your sword to +5 if needed.This makes you gain resolve extremely fast, so you can use your weapon ability often. Grind yourself 500 tar, then go to the Corrupted Sester, use a Nascent Tar, then use your 3000 tar to buy the Forbidden Offering. On the way back into Fallgrim grab the Quenching Acid from the chest in front of Fallgrim Tower to upgrade the Hollowed Sword to at least +4.You can sprint totally through and grab both weapon damage upgrades, go back and upgrade the weapon to at least +3, then deal with the boss relatively easily by playing safe with jumping attacks. Do not bother buying either of the weapon upgrades from Vlas, unless you feel like grinding tar in Fallgrim. After grabbing this, go grab the Quenching Acid in the chest by the entrance to Shrine of Ash from the brigand camp. You can stick with the Hollowed Sword through the entire playthrough, its jumping attack is very good for all bosses, and the first weapon ability stuns all bosses and makes you invulnerable through the entire animation so it is very helpful. In Fallgrim, you can choose to ignore Grisha, but defeating it is helpful to grab the item for the first Hollowed Sword upgrade.Right at the start go talk to Sester Genessa in the tower, then grab the Tarnished Seal, then run over and activate Obsidian Dark Form at the altar.The same applies for boss fights, because of how generous the dodging i-frames are it is almost always better to actually dodge away from attacks than to harden and risk being hit.When traveling between areas remember you have a massive amount of stamina compared to with a shell, so you can constantly be sprinting and rolling everywhere to avoid attacks.You can’t actually use the glimpse you acquire for beating it (or any glimpses for that matter). Don’t worry about defeating Hadern in the tutorial unless you’re doing it this run for the trophy.
