Unlock the hidden Alchemist's Workshop in Mortal Shell 2 by mastering the Makeshift Projectile. Learn the exact locations of the catapult and the projectile to claim rare loot.

  • The Makeshift Projectile is located at the southern edge of the Mammon region.
  • The Catapult is found southeast of the Outskirts of Mammon beacon.
  • Using the projectile unlocks access to the Alchemist's Workshop dungeon.

Exploring the haunting landscapes of Mortal Shell 2 often leads players to mysterious items with vague instructions. One such item is the Makeshift Projectile. While the game allows you to find and launch this explosive, it fails to provide a marker for where the projectile actually lands, leaving many players wandering aimlessly.

Locating the Catapult

Your first objective is to find the launching mechanism. The catapult is situated relatively close to the Outskirts of Mammon beacon. From the beacon, venture southeast into the grassy plains. You will encounter the siege weapon guarded by several soldiers. Be sure to locate Ruk nearby to secure the region map, as you will need to return to this specific spot once the projectile is acquired.

Finding the Makeshift Projectile

The projectile itself is hidden at the southern extremity of the Outskirts of Mammon zone. From the beacon, proceed southeast and navigate across the rope bridges leading to the lowlands. After passing the NPC Vlas, look for an opening beneath a massive stone bridge. Continue south to the cliff's edge to retrieve the item and a cryptic note left by a previous traveler.

Accessing the Alchemist’s Workshop

Once the projectile is in your inventory, return to the catapult and trigger the launch. To find the impact site, travel toward the central zone known as Castigator’s Keep. Inspect the rocky outcroppings to the west, where you will find a construction site inhabited by Miner enemies. Following the cliffside path will reveal a breach in the wall caused by the projectile, granting entry to the Alchemist’s Workshop.

Why This Matters

BozokMedia analysis shows that these environmental puzzles are designed to reward meticulous exploration. The Alchemist's Workshop is not merely a side-quest but a critical hub for acquiring materials that significantly boost character stats.

"In the world of Mortal Shell 2, environmental interaction is the key to survival; the most powerful upgrades are hidden behind the game's most subtle clues."

Inside the workshop, players can find an Alchemical Brew on a desk which, when consumed, tilts the camera view sideways—a disorienting effect that can be reversed by interacting with the desk again. More importantly, the inner chamber contains a Synaptic Vessel for upgrading the Mether’s Flask and five Glimpse materials. The journey culminates at the bottom of the elevator shaft, where a Shell Snatcher guards the coveted Clockwork Shardstone.

Did You Know?: The Alchemist's Brew is a rare example of a gameplay mechanic that alters the player's physical perspective rather than just the character's stats.
