Mortal Shell 2 Ovum Locations: All 54 Eggs on the Map

Mortal Shell 2 has 54 Spoiled Ovum pickups in its open world, and they are not spread across it. On LootMap’s Ovum layer they resolve into exactly two piles: 20 eggs in northern Fainweald, in the same spot as the Eredrim shell, and 34 more in an isolated pocket at the far western edge of the map. Clear both and you have every outdoor egg verified on the map. Player reports say the rest of your Ova come from cleansing beacons and clearing corrupted gates rather than from world pickups, which matters for the totals below.

What Ova are for

Ova work as a progression currency. You haul them back to the Marrow Keep, and feeding the Gloom Siphon there unlocks fast travel between cleansed beacons; player reports say that first unlock takes around five or six eggs, so the northern pile alone covers it several times over. Guides count 168 Ova in total to reach the final area, which is why the point-of-no-return threads keep circling back to egg counts. The collect-all achievement is called Bring My Ova Back to Me, and one day after the 2026-08-20 launch only 4.3% of Steam players had it.

20 eggs beside the Eredrim shell

The northern pile sits in the upper reaches of Fainweald, in a forest clearing beside a Forest Map Station. All 20 markers fit inside a patch you could cross in two paces, so zoomed out the map draws them as one clump. Zoom in on the cluster and they separate into individual eggs a few steps apart.

You may already know this spot for a different reason: the Eredrim shell pickup sits inside the egg cluster itself, with its Shell Unlock marker and a loose Glimpse right beside it. Select the shell marker and the eggs surround it on screen. A Healing Power Chalice sits a few steps west, Vlas’s Cage a little further west again, and a beacon marker a short walk north. Sweep the whole area slowly instead of grabbing the shell and moving on.

34 eggs at the far western edge

The bigger pile sits on a narrow strip at the extreme western edge of the map, past the last beacon marker. Open the cluster at district zoom and the isolation is obvious: the nearest marker east of the strip is a Coin of Mammon pickup, a long walk away across blank map.

Four other markers sit on the strip, west to east:

Two bone gates, two lore pages and a sit stone fill in the rest. There is no beacon, no map station and no chest anywhere on the strip, and the Golem Elevator with its lift call are the only traversal markers on it, so plan the pocket as a golem-lift trip of its own rather than a walk west from the Marrow Keep, which is most of the way across the map.

The 34 markers spread over an oval a few steps wide, looser than the northern pile but still a single location. Start at the eastern Ruk statue and work west, finishing at the pile’s southwest corner.

The Ova this map does not show

The 54 markers are world pickups only, and world pickups are not the whole economy. Player reports say cleansing corrupted beacons and clearing corrupted gates both pay out Ova, so a completion pass through the beacon layer doubles as egg income. Dungeon interiors are separate spaces the world map does not chart. Do not expect these 54 pickups on their own to carry you to the 168 that guides count for the final area.
