NPC questlines in Soulslike games can be tricky to follow, especially when the next step is not immediately obvious. Gorf is one of the NPCs you will meet fairly early in Mortal Shell 2, and his questline has several moments where you may be unsure about what to do next. This guide provides a complete walkthrough of Gorf’s questline.
Gorf’s quest is connected to Hilga, and progressing Gorf’s story too far can cause you to skip several interactions in Hilga’s questline.
How to Complete Gorf’s Questline in Mortal Shell 2
Before starting Gorf’s questline, it is worth completing the early interactions with Hilga. This ensures you do not accidentally skip any of her dialogue or interactions later.
Head to the Mushroom Village Beacon and go right. Take the bridge on the left that leads toward the houses, where you will find a person sitting inside a cauldron and Hilga standing beside a table.
Keep returning to Hilga and drinking from the small cauldron until Grom is no longer inside the bigger cauldron. You can then climb inside the cauldron yourself and trigger the next interaction. Once you have done this, you can safely begin Gorf’s questline.
Gorf’s First Requests
Gorf can be found slightly north of the Widow’s Overlook Beacon. When you first approach him, you will find him coughing and asking if you have a mushroom to spare.
- First visit: Give Gorf a Weltcap to help him recover. He will reward you with a Marsh Pearl, which can be sold for 2,000 Coin.
- Second visit: Return to the Beacon and come back to Gorf. Give him another Weltcap to receive another Marsh Pearl.
- Third visit: Return once again, but this time Gorf will ask for Common Moonshine. Give it to him to receive another Marsh Pearl.
- Fourth visit: Rest at the Beacon and return to Gorf again. Give him another Common Moonshine for one more Marsh Pearl.
Weltcaps are fairly common throughout Mortal Shell 2, so you should have little trouble finding them. You can also purchase them from the Grisha Hunter near the caged Grisha Pup.
After the Moonshine interactions, dead Cultists will begin appearing around Gorf. Interact with their bodies to collect some Gloom while also getting additional dialogue from Gorf.
Return to the Beacon one more time and then visit Gorf again. This time, he will give you the Poisoned Dagger.
If you have already progressed much further into the game, or even completed it, you can still complete Gorf’s questline. However, you will not need to provide him with as many items as you would during the earlier stages of the game.
Hilga’s Investigation
Take the Poisoned Dagger to Hilga. She will ask where you got it before deciding to investigate the matter herself. Return to the Beacon and then visit Hilga again. She will have disappeared, leaving behind a letter that suggests you should already know where to find her.
Follow the clue and return to Gorf. You will find Hilga standing beside him. Speak with them and offer Gorf another Common Moonshine when given the opportunity.
Hilga will comment that Gorf needs to rest, so return to the Beacon and come back again. On your next visit, Hilga will be gone, while Gorf will be feeling much better. He will also reward you with another Marsh Pearl.
Rest at the Beacon once more and return to Gorf. This time, you will discover that Hilga has been transformed into a frog using Gorf’s blood.
There is one final visit remaining. Return to the Beacon and come back to Gorf to find several small toads around him. Gorf will comment that they have been busy, marking the end of his questline.
The Marsh Pearls you receive throughout the quest can be sold for Coin, making this a useful source of money that can help fund some of your weapon upgrades.
