Mortal Shell 2 Beacon Locations: 49 Stops, 46 Cleanses
A Beacon route guide for cleansing objectives, Ova, fast travel and the three locations that do not count toward the tracker.
Read the 49 versus 46 count
The launch route lists 49 Beacon locations, but only 46 are cleansing objectives because Marrowkeep, Widow’s Overlook and Outskirts of Mammon begin already active.
Cleansing is a route decision
Enter the Beacon mini-dungeon, clear the required encounter and claim the Ova. Cleansing creates a travel anchor and changes the safest way to recover Gloom or return to a missed pickup.
Use the map in layers
Start with Hubs and Shells, then add Weapons, Sidearms and Upgrades. Reveal Boss markers only when you are planning the next campaign gate; the same map should work for a low-spoiler first run and a full cleanup pass.
Mark the route you actually cleared
Use the local found state after a Beacon is cleansed, not when it is merely visible. This keeps the map useful during a long run and avoids mistaking discovery for completion.
Choose the next Beacon by route value
The closest Beacon is not always the best one. Prefer the Beacon that shortens a return to the next Shell, weapon, boss or Tarforge part, then cleanse it before opening another optional branch. This keeps the map useful as a route planner rather than a pin collection.
