Mortal Shell 2 Wandering Shepherd Boss Guide

The direct answer

The Wandering Shepherd is on the farm side of Sunken Village in the Glutted Mire. Cross the bridge next to the Sunken Village Beacon and take Sheephead Totem when the fight ends.

Before entering the arena

• Reach Sunken Village in the Glutted Mire.
• Cross the bridge by that Beacon; the Shepherd is on the farm, not inside Magdalena’s Glade.

How to beat the Wandering Shepherd

1. Watch the herd, not only the Shepherd. Sheep and a floating sword share the arena. Clear space before you commit a long string.
2. Break the hex if you are turned. If a hex turns you into a sheep, play to survive until it ends, then return to the Shepherd.
3. Punish the Shepherd after a cast. Short hits on the caster, then leave the herd.
4. Take Sheephead Totem. The fight is done when that pickup is registered.
