Mortal Shell 2 Healing Upgrades: All 15 Chalice (Estus) Locations

Mortal Shell 2 marks 15 healing upgrades on its world map: 8 Healing Power Chalices and 7 Healing Charge Chalices. Open the Healing Upgrades layer to see all of them at once and tick them off as you collect. If you searched for Estus upgrades, this is that list: players borrowed the Dark Souls word for these pickups, video titles pair it with Revered Gland, and Steam threads file the same upgrades under mether pulse efficiency upgrades. The names above are what the markers say on the map.

The layer panel gives the two sets separate names. Healing Upgrades contains the 15 Healing Power and Healing Charge Chalices that improve your healing. Artifacts contains 12 pickups named Devout’s Chalice beside Tooth of Nochte and Coin of Mammon. Player reports say those artifact chalices are valuables sold in the Marrow Keep, not upgrades.

The eight Healing Power Chalices

Five of the eight sit in the northern half of the map, the Fainweald side.

• A few steps from the Wormfish Exchange, in the middle of the artifact pocket covered below. Take this one first.
• Just west of Eredrim’s shell site, in the northern forest, with a Breakable Ceiling right beside it on the Hidden Paths layer. If you have read forum reports of chalices behind illusory walls, this is the spot the map marks.
• In a walled far-east pocket with three Light Keys and the Heart of Vatra, two Stone Gate markers on the way in.
• Near the top of the map, a short walk northwest of the Veteran’s Battle Axe, with a Jump Pad a few steps northeast.
• Beside a Tar Arena and a Corrupted Statue marker.

The three southern power chalices are more scattered.

• Directly beside a beacon marker, the one a short walk east of the Sester Genessa cluster.
• In the southwest, a short walk east of the beacon that shares its corner with a City Map Station.
• Deep south, a short walk south of the beacon below the Triarch Repeater.

The seven Healing Charge Chalices

The charge line flips the pattern, with five of seven in the southern Ruins of Mammon half.

• Right beside a Dungeon Door marker in the southeast, the door the southeastern Dungeon Key trio sits beside.
• In a knot of three Lore Page markers.
• At a Tar Root Gate in the deep south.
• Just past Sariel’s shell site, the southernmost pickup in this whole hunt.
• Far to the west, near a Flower Chest.

The two northern ones sit far apart. One is in the northwest forest, a short walk west of the Vlas’s Cage pocket. The other sits a short walk west of the Gloombound Flame pickup, well north of the map’s center, so do not go hunting for it around the Marrow Keep.

The 12 Devout’s Chalice artifacts

Half of them sit in one pocket. Six of the twelve cluster northwest of the Marrow Keep, in the same wooded neighborhood as Smert’s shell site, the Wormfish Exchange and the power chalice beside it.

The other six spread out.

• West of the Marrow Keep, beside one of the four Ruk markers.
• Just west of the Veteran’s Battle Axe pickup.
• Northern forest, east of Proxima’s shell site.
• Beside a dungeon marker north of the Chapel Key Door.
• Just west of the Cursed Child sidearm pickup.
• Deep south, a few steps northwest of the deep-south power chalice.

Why can’t you reach that chalice?

The recurring complaint in chalice threads is not finding them but reaching them. Player reports say some upgrades sit wrapped in corruption that clears only after the nearby beacon is cleansed. One long Steam thread about a chalice in the swamp village and another near Sunken Village both came down to beacon state, the second solved by a single missed prologue beacon. The map records positions, not your world state, so when a marked chalice looks sealed, toggle the beacons layer on and cleanse the closest one before assuming a bug. The power chalice east of the Sester Genessa cluster is the clearest case: the beacon marker sits within sight of it.

Illusory walls are the other blocker players mention. Beyond the Breakable Ceiling next to the Eredrim-side chalice, the Hidden Paths layer carries 13 markers covering hidden walls, wall switches, secret pipes, and hidden paths. Keep it on while you hunt, and check it whenever a chalice marker seems to sit inside solid rock.
