Mortal Shell 2 - How to Reach the Desolate Keep SECRET Area - Marrow's Keep
The Desolate Keep is a secret area off Marrow's Keep, and nothing in the game tells you it is there. Three steps get you in.
Step one is the Slayer Seal. Merrick has it: from him in Marrow's Keep go down straight and it is on the chair. Read this part before you pick it up, because it is the one thing here that can cost you a playthrough: DO NOT EQUIP THE SLAYER SEAL. It is easy mode, and equipping it turns your trophies off.
Step two is the wall. Go down to where Sester Genessa is, take the stairs down and turn to the left. The secret wall is there. Hit it and it opens.
Step three is behind that wall: a chalice held in chains. Break the chains, interact with the chalice and you are in the Desolate Keep. A second Grisha is in there. Leave the dungeon uncompleted if you want to farm Grisha remains, because finishing it closes that off.
The first Grisha fight is here: youtube.com/watch?v=0ymesG-2k0w
00:00 Step 1 - Get the Slayer Seal from Merrick (do not equip it)
00:22 Step 2 - The secret wall below Sester Genessa
00:32 Step 3 - Break the chains and enter the Desolate Keep
