In Mortal Shell 2, players exploring Castigator's Keep will encounter the NPC Egon, who is found isolated in a tower and requests Gloom as tribute. This guide details how to find Egon, farm the necessary Gloom, and the rewards for completing his quest.
Locating Egon
Egon resides within Castigator's Keep, located in the Ruins of Mammon region. To reach him, players should travel south from the Outskirts of Mammon beacon. After passing enemies and crossing a bridge, players will need to use a gateway to cross a ravine. The area contains a rolling Ball Boy and Ballista Heads. Players should then head right from the gate and ascend stairs to activate the Castigator's Keep beacon. After activating the beacon, enter the yard, collect the Synaptic Vessel material, and find Egon in the nearby tower.
Upon speaking with Egon, it becomes clear he requires a significant amount of Gloom. The game suggests farming this resource to fulfill his demands.
Offering Tribute to Egon
Completing Egon's quest involves providing him with thousands of Gloom. The guide recommends utilizing the Nightfish NPC found in the Outskirts of Nochte, who can convert Coins into Gloom at a 1:2 ratio, meaning 1,000 Coins yield 2,000 Gloom. It is not necessary to offer all the Gloom at once, as the tribute accumulates over time until Egon's requirement is met.
Egon Quest Rewards
After offering a substantial amount of Gloom, Egon will perish. In one playthrough, after giving Egon 20,000 Gloom, the player received 40,000 Gloom from his remains. It has been noted that the Gloom requirements for Egon's quest may have been adjusted since the game's launch, and there might be a cap on the total Gloom reward.
