Mortal Shell 2 All Beacons: Open Beta Route, 49 Locations and 46 Cleanses

Current launch-build community checklists report 49 named Beacon locations and 46 tracked cleanses because Marrow Keep, Widow’s Overlook, and Outskirts of Mammon begin cleansed. The official Week 1 update also adds daytime Mini-Beacons across Fainweald and Mammon, but it does not publish their exact count or whether they change the So Fresh, So Clean tracker. Keep the official achievement and community count separate.

How many Beacons are in the full game?

Use 49 as the current community checklist scope and 46 as the tracked cleanse target, not as an official publisher table. The three already-cleansed locations explain why the two numbers differ. The official achievement page confirms the So Fresh, So Clean objective, but it does not enumerate every location.

Week 1 adds new daytime Mini-Beacons as exploration checkpoints. The update says Mini-Beacons no longer award a Glimpse; it does not say that they add new corrupted cleanse rooms or increase the achievement counter. If your menu shows a different total, record the platform and build instead of merging the systems.

Which seven Beacons are on the Open Beta route?

The older Open Beta route description names seven Beacon objectives. They are Disciple’s Grotto, Seeping Mire, Mushroom Village, Mushroom Village Gate, Sunken Village, Widow’s Overlook, and Magdalena’s Glade. The description asks players to cleanse all seven on one save. It does not establish the final full-game achievement rule.

How should you verify the seven Open Beta Beacons?

The route description separates Mushroom Village from Mushroom Village Gate, even though the names are close and the areas can feel connected. The other five named entries are Disciple’s Grotto, Seeping Mire, Sunken Village, Widow’s Overlook, and Magdalena’s Glade. Write all seven down before starting so a nearby statue or a second village approach is not accidentally counted as the same objective.

The first page presents the list as the clearest Open Beta route for the all-Beacons objective. A separate map page confirms a Sunken Village Beacon and other beta route landmarks but does not independently publish the same seven-item achievement list. For that reason, the seven-item count and the beta requirement are To be confirmed outside the route context.

Where should you start?

Start with Disciple’s Grotto before entering the Tar Golem fight. The route description calls it the most missable entry because it appears early and a later point in the run may prevent a clean completion. Search the grotto, cleanse the Beacon, and record the action before moving on.

Do not treat passing the grotto entrance as completion. The checklist recommends a simple find, cleanse, record rhythm so the save history stays clear. The exact trigger behavior for a full-game achievement is To be confirmed, but the early route warning is strong enough to justify checking it first in the beta.

How do you handle the middle route?

Continue to Seeping Mire and treat it as its own destination rather than part of a general swamp sweep. After that, visit Mushroom Village and Mushroom Village Gate as two separate checklist entries. The route description specifically warns that players often merge the two village objectives because they are close together.

Use named landmarks and pause after every cleansing action. If the map shows a nearby statue or the route enters a dungeon, compare the location name rather than trusting visual similarity. The directions do not provide final-game coordinates, so any exact full-game pin is To be confirmed.

What happens at Sunken Village and the overlook?

The listed route continues through Sunken Village and then checks Widow’s Overlook. Search lower paths, recessed areas, and the edges of the overlook instead of leaving after the first combat section. The guidance treats both names as separate Beacon objectives and recommends deliberate verification.

The companion map also places a later beta Beacon in the Sunken Village route and lists nearby Tarstone and boss entries. Those route notes are useful for combining exploration tasks, but they do not replace the seven-name checklist. If your build places the Beacon elsewhere, record that mismatch as To be confirmed.

When should you check Magdalena’s Glade?

The route places Magdalena’s Glade with the boss arena and recommends checking it after the fight. Return to the post-encounter area, search the arena, cleanse the Beacon, and mark the final name only after the action is complete. Leaving immediately after the boss can make the final verification easy to miss.

The related map page identifies Magdalena in the Sunken Village Swamp as a beta route encounter and lists Magdalena’s Momento as a beta reward. It does not independently prove the Beacon achievement trigger or the final full-game arena state. The post-boss requirement is therefore To be confirmed for versions beyond the route.

Does everything need to be on one save?

The Open Beta route description says the seven qualifying Beacons should be cleansed on one save file. It warns that completing one location on another attempt may not satisfy the same objective and recommends repeating the route if save history is unclear. This is the safest way to follow the checklist, even though the final full-game achievement logic is not published in the route.

If Disciple’s Grotto was missed before the Tar Golem, the description recommends replaying and securing it early rather than assuming a later cleanup will repair the current save. If one village entry was missed, revisit both Mushroom Village and Mushroom Village Gate and mark them separately. If Magdalena’s Glade is uncertain, return after the boss before leaving the arena.

What should you do when a Beacon is missing?

First, compare the save against all seven names instead of searching randomly. Next, revisit the connected dungeon, side path, gate, and boss arena for the area that is not verified. A route note mentions a possible missing statue near Tiel’s Shell location, but it presents that as a local clue rather than a substitute for the named checklist.

When the run history cannot be trusted, the reliable recovery method in the current game version is a fresh single-save sweep. Keep a written status for each location: not started, found, cleansed, or needs verification. Do not claim the achievement or a full-game completion result until the current game build confirms it; that outcome is To be confirmed.

Seven-Beacon checklist

Check Disciple’s Grotto before the Tar Golem, then Seeping Mire, Mushroom Village, Mushroom Village Gate, Sunken Village, and Widow’s Overlook. Finish with Magdalena’s Glade after the boss encounter. The seven-location list is the cleanest Open Beta route in the available historical material, while exact full-game requirements and achievement behavior remain To be confirmed.

What does the retail all-beacons answer mean?

The newer community checklist separates 49 named Beacons from 46 tracked cleanses. That split is not an official location table, so keep it separate from the seven-location Open Beta route because the counts describe different versions and different confirmation levels.

The same collectible description places Beacons alongside 73 Tarstones and 11 Map Fragments, while another community description gives a different Tarstone total. Those nearby numbers are useful for checking the scope of a completion run, yet they do not prove one another. Do not derive a Beacon coordinate or a trophy condition from a collectible total.

Why are the full Beacon coordinates missing?

The YouTube captions discuss early Shell and Beacon routes, but they do not provide a complete 46-entry list. The official Steam page confirms an interconnected open world and achievements, but it does not publish Beacon names, coordinates, or a required order. The current page can therefore give a verified Beta checklist and a clearly labelled retail community lead.

For a full-game checklist, record the Beacon name, region, state, and build after each cleanse. Add the route landmark rather than guessing a coordinate from a gameplay frame. Until every entry is checked in the client, the retail count, Mini-Beacon behavior, final route, and achievement trigger remain To be confirmed.
