Vatra's Seal
- Ability
- Harden
- Found in
- Dropped by the Tar Golem in the Disciple's Grotto
Vatra's Seal is one of four Seals in Mortal Shell 2, and the Seal slot is what decides how you answer an incoming attack. It grants Harden. Dropped by the Tar Golem in the Disciple's Grotto.
“Used in stonebirth rituals, this seal possesses a fraction of its creator’s power.”
Effect
Harden your body to withstand the next attack damage. Time it right to Perfect Harden and deal Break Damage.
Our take
Harden is what Mortal Shell is known for, and it solves a problem no other Seal touches: you are mid-swing, an attack is coming, and you cannot cancel. Perfect Harden pays Break damage on top, so it is defence that does not cost you tempo. Where it comes from is settled and when is not: the Tar Golem is filed as dropping it, and that fight ends in a cutscene however it goes, so nothing on record says which side of the cutscene puts the Seal in your hands.
