Mortal Shell 2 Beacons and Ova Guide
Quick answer: current completion trackers list 49 Beacon locations, but three—Marrow Keep, Widow's Overlook, and Outskirts of Mammon—start cleansed. That leaves 46 cleansable Beacons for So Fresh, So Clean.
Beacon basics
- Touching or resting at a Beacon sets a checkpoint but does not necessarily count as cleansing it.
- Cleansing enters the attached challenge and is confirmed when its final Ovum is claimed.
- A cleansed Beacon exposes leveling, equipment, Mether's Pulse, and travel options.
- Fast travel is Mether's Breath. Game8 says siphon 6 Ova at the Marrow Keep globe; other guides say 4 or unlock at 7. You start the overworld with 3.
- Post-boss Gate Beacons are the largest Ova rewards and should be checked first when endgame progress stalls.
Tick the 49 Beacons
Use this while you play. Pre-cleansed hubs still appear so the count matches 49. For So Fresh, So Clean you need the 46 that actually cleanse.

Stuck at 45/46?
- Revisit the final room after each of the six Corrupted Gate bosses; the rich post-boss Beacon can be easy to walk past.
- Check whether a Beacon was only touched for a checkpoint instead of entered and cleansed.
- Compare the fast-travel menu against the grouped list above, especially Unfound Path.
- Finish cleanup after Zmey but before choosing Send Ova, because free roam remains open in that interval.
Version note: Ova amounts and individual reward tables are community-recorded and may change. This page uses the 49/46 completion structure because multiple independent launch guides agree on it; the live in-game tracker remains authoritative.
Evidence: Beacon names, grouping, and the 49/46 distinction were cross-checked against current player documentation and a separate interactive map database. Verified August 23, 2026.
