Mortal Shell 2: How to Farm Glimpse Fast

To farm Glimpse efficiently in Mortal Shell 2, your best bet is to repeatedly defeat the elite enemies that respawn near the game’s central hub, the Fallen Temple, while using the Glimpse-boosting item “Glimpse of the Void” whenever it’s off cooldown. You’ll enter the area, kill the two elite Brutes just outside the temple’s main gate, then rest at the nearby checkpoint to reset them, netting roughly 15-20 Glimpse per minute. This method works because elite enemies in this region drop a guaranteed 3-5 Glimpse each, and the checkpoint reset is fast, making it the most reliable farming loop in the early-to-mid game.

Formula

This calculator estimates how much Glimpse you’ll earn from a farming session. The formula is:

Total Glimpse = Farming Time (minutes) × Glimpse per Run × Runs per Minute

Where:

• Farming Time (t) – how long you farm, in minutes (default 10).
• Glimpse per Run (g) – average Glimpse you get from one full loop (default 18, which assumes two elites at ~4 each plus a few from trash).
• Runs per Minute (r) – how many loops you complete per minute (default 1.5, which is realistic with a fast load time and quick kills).

The second output, Glimpse per Hour, is simply the per-minute rate multiplied by 60, so you can scale your estimate to longer sessions.

Worked Example

Using the default values from the calculator:

1. Farming time = 10 minutes
2. Glimpse per run = 18
3. Runs per minute = 1.5

Total Glimpse = 10 × 18 × 1.5 = 270 Glimpse in 10 minutes.

Per hour = 18 × 1.5 × 60 = 1,620 Glimpse per hour.

These numbers assume you’re using the Glimpse-boosting item and have a decent weapon that can kill the elites in a few hits. If your gear is weaker, your actual per-run total will be lower, so adjust the inputs accordingly.

Why Glimpse Matters

Glimpse is the primary currency for unlocking new abilities and upgrading your character in Mortal Shell 2. Unlike Tar, which is used for buying items and repairing weapons, Glimpse is specifically tied to your character’s growth. You spend it at the Sester Genessa to unlock new skills, increase your health and stamina, and even unlock new weapon abilities. Without a steady supply, you’ll hit a wall where you can’t progress your build, making farming a necessary part of the game.

Where to Farm: The Fallen Temple Loop

The Fallen Temple is the best early-game farming spot because it has two elite enemies that respawn every time you rest at the checkpoint. Here’s the exact route:

1. Start at the Fallen Temple checkpoint (the one right outside the main temple entrance).
2. Run straight ahead toward the large courtyard.
3. You’ll see two elite Brutes – one on the left, one on the right. They’re the big, slow enemies with glowing eyes.
4. Kill both. They drop 3-5 Glimpse each, plus sometimes Tar.
5. Also grab any small Glimpse orbs from nearby trash mobs if they’re convenient.
6. Rest at the checkpoint to reset them, then repeat.

This loop takes about 30-40 seconds per run, including load times, which is why the default 1.5 runs per minute is realistic. If you have a faster weapon or a more optimized route, you might hit 2 runs per minute.

How to Boost Your Glimpse Gains

There are a few ways to increase your per-run yield:

• Use the “Glimpse of the Void” item – this consumable increases Glimpse drops by 50% for 60 seconds. Pop it right before you engage the elites, and it’ll cover both kills. You can buy it from the merchant in the hub for 500 Tar, or find it as loot.
• Equip the Glimpse-boosting trinket – some trinkets, like the “Soul of the Martyr,” increase Glimpse gained by 20%. You’ll find these as you explore, so check your inventory.
• Level up your weapon – faster kills mean faster runs. If you can one-shot the elites with a heavy attack, you’ll shave seconds off each loop.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Players often waste time with inefficient farming. Here’s what to avoid:

• Killing every trash mob – they drop almost no Glimpse and slow you down. Only kill the elites and any mob that’s directly in your path.
• Not using the Glimpse item – it’s a 50% boost, so not using it is literally leaving Glimpse on the table.
• Farming in late-game areas – while those enemies drop more Glimpse, they’re also harder to kill, so your runs per minute drop. The Fallen Temple is optimal because it’s easy and fast.
• Forgetting to rest at the checkpoint – if you die, you’ll respawn at the checkpoint anyway, but resting is faster and also heals you.

Alternatives to the Fallen Temple

If you’ve outleveled the Fallen Temple or want a change of scenery, there are a couple of other spots that work well:

• The Crypt of the Damned – the area before the first boss has two elite skeletons that drop 4-5 Glimpse each. The loop is slightly longer but still efficient.
• The Ashen Grotto – a mid-game area with three elites near the entrance. They’re tougher, but if you have a good weapon, you can net 20+ Glimpse per run.

In general, look for any area with two or more elite enemies that are close to a checkpoint. The key is that they respawn on rest, so you never have to travel far.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Glimpse carry over to New Game+?

Yes, Glimpse carries over to New Game+ in Mortal Shell 2, along with your character level and unlocked abilities. However, enemy drops also scale up, so you’ll need more Glimpse to unlock the higher-tier skills. Farming in NG+ is actually more efficient because elites drop more Glimpse, so the Fallen Temple loop becomes even better.

Can I farm Glimpse without fighting elites?

Technically, you can get Glimpse from regular enemies and from finding Glimpse orbs in the world, but the drop rate is very low – maybe 1 in 10 enemies. Elites are the only reliable source, so farming them is the only efficient method. You could also sell certain items to the merchant for Glimpse, but that’s wasteful since those items are rare.

What’s the fastest way to reset the elites?

Resting at the checkpoint is the fastest way. You can also fast-travel to another area and back, but that takes longer. Just make sure you don’t die, because dying resets the area but also costs you nothing – actually, dying is fine too, but resting is faster and you don’t lose anything.

Is there a limit to how much Glimpse I can hold?

No, there’s no cap on Glimpse. You can hold as much as you want, so you don’t need to spend it immediately. However, it’s a good idea to spend it on skills as you go, since some skills unlock new farming methods or make you stronger, which speeds up future farming.

Does the Glimpse-boosting item stack with the trinket?

Yes, they stack multiplicatively. If you have a 20% trinket and use the 50% item, you’ll get 1.2 × 1.5 = 1.8 times the base Glimpse, which is an 80% increase. That’s why it’s worth using both if you have them.
