Mortal Shell 2 How to Summon Night (Increase Difficulty)

How to make it night and change the difficulty in Mortal Shell 2. Learn how to get the Gloombound Flame to increase difficulty and change time of day.

Mortal Shell 2 How to Summon Night (Increase Difficulty)

August 17, 2026 by Gage Leave a Comment Mortal Shell 2 includes a similar function to increase difficulty as the first game, where you can choose to change the time of day to night which increases enemy difficulty while increasing drops from them, along with revealing some hidden areas, with one of them being a vendor that sells Tarstones required for the trophy/achievement Stoned . To unlock the ability to change the time of day, you first need to collect the item Gloombound Flame , which can be found directly south of the Widow’s Overlook Beacon in the northern part of the overworld map. This can be found on one of the stone pillar that are behind where the miniboss Great Arbiter of Flesh is located. Once you have the Gloombound Flame, return to Marrow Keep and take the elevator back to the top of the tower. On the top there is a golden lantern sitting by a fire, interact with it and use the Gloombound Flame. This causes the character Thestus to appear. You can then speak with Thestus at any time to change the time of day between day and night. Doing this doesn’t cost any resources like it did in the first game, so you can do this as much as you want without worry.

Verify the night-unlock chain before routing around it

The attributed guide connects the Gloombound Flame, the area south of Widow's Overlook, Marrow Keep, and the character used to change time. Treat that as one source-backed chain rather than as four independently verified facts. Confirm the item name and interaction in the current build, then keep the route target open until the time-of-day option appears. An imported map marker can help locate the search area but cannot prove the pickup or unlock fired.

Avoid combining this route with assumptions from the first game. The source explicitly describes how the current interaction works and contrasts its cost with the earlier title; if a patch changes the requirement, the dated article remains evidence of the captured behavior, not a permanent guarantee. Follow the source link when the item or NPC is absent and record the game build before proposing a correction.

Use night as a deliberate route state

Change time only after deciding which objective requires it. Review the linked trophy, Tarstone, vendor, or hidden-area record, then filter the tracker to the relevant completion line. This prevents a broad difficulty change from becoming an unfocused sweep and keeps the reason for the route visible. Return to the map or roadmap after the objective is confirmed rather than checking every night-related target from the unlock alone.

A harder encounter or improved drop result must be observed in the game; this page does not measure enemy scaling or reward rates. Do not convert the source's general description into invented percentages, farming efficiency, or a universal recommendation to stay at night. The companion records the unlock and associated objectives, while the player verifies the current behavior.

Before returning to day, review the incomplete filter and note which objective was actually confirmed. Unlocking the time switch, meeting a vendor, and obtaining a trophy-related item are separate checks even when one route connects them.

Evidence boundary for Mortal Shell 2 How to Summon Night (Increase Difficulty)

Mortal Shell 2 How to Summon Night (Increase Difficulty) is stored as a reference answer from PowerPyx. The source snapshot was captured on 2026-08-18T08:19:47+00:00 and last checked on 2026-08-18; its dataset label is Launch 1.0. Read the summary at the top as the captured conclusion, not as independent gameplay testing by this companion. The single source evidence label describes how many source layers support the record, while needs recheck describes whether its version still needs review. Neither label silently upgrades an unverified detail into current fact.

Keep the record attached to its attributed source URL, source identifier powerpyx, platform scope, and review date. The page may help define a question or route lead even when the normalized source body did not pass the publishing gate. In that case, the missing body must remain missing: do not expand Mortal Shell 2 How to Summon Night (Increase Difficulty) with locations, rewards, statistics, steps, or compatibility claims inferred from the title. A short source conclusion plus a precise verification plan is safer than fabricated completeness.

Verify the reference answer in the current build

Identify the exact question answered by the page, then separate its date, platform, edition, feature, or system claim from surrounding assumptions. A yes-or-no conclusion needs the same platform and release build before it can be applied to the current session.

Treat Mortal Shell 2 How to Summon Night (Increase Difficulty) as an ordered procedure. Identify the start state, smallest verifiable action, expected observation, and stop condition. Test one step at a time in the current build, and leave an uncertain step open; completing a nearby objective or following the same route does not prove the named procedure succeeded.

Before acting, record the application branch and platform actually launched, then compare them with the stored platform list and Launch 1.0 label. Use the smallest test that can confirm the page's central question without spending scarce resources or crossing an irreversible route point. Note the starting state, action, expected result, and observed result. If any one of those is unknown, keep that part unresolved instead of converting absence of evidence into a negative answer.

Use Mortal Shell 2 How to Summon Night (Increase Difficulty) with the companion tools

Use related search results to compare attributed records, but keep each answer tied to its own source date. The map and tracker are useful only when the reference answer creates a specific route or completion action.

Search results, map favorites, route checks, and tracker completion all belong to this local companion profile. They do not query the game's inventory, quest flags, platform achievements, cloud save, or storefront entitlements. Mark only the exact Mortal Shell 2 How to Summon Night (Increase Difficulty) decision or supported target that the game confirmed. A related result can remain a useful lead without being checked, and an exported JSON profile preserves companion state only; gameplay recovery requires the platform's separate save system.

Reconcile and close the Mortal Shell 2 How to Summon Night (Increase Difficulty) record

When the current build disagrees with PowerPyx, preserve both observations. Record the dated source claim, the release build tested, the exact mismatch, and whether the difference affects only a route step or the central conclusion. Look for a current official or independently attributed source before changing the record. A similar noun in patch notes is not enough; the update must address the same subject, condition, and result represented by Mortal Shell 2 How to Summon Night (Increase Difficulty).

Close the review with a compact receipt: question tested, source and date checked, platform and build used, action performed, observation made, and local target changed. Keep unknown, skipped, failed, and completed states separate. If the page remains marked needs recheck, retain that warning even after one successful personal test; one run can confirm a local outcome without proving universal behavior. This receipt makes later updates auditable and prevents stale guidance from being silently presented as release-wide fact.
