To exit Martyr’s Tomb in Mortal Shell 2, turn toward the sealed gate in the reward chamber and shoot the small target above it with a ranged weapon. The gate rises; walk through, then follow the tunnel and elevator back out. If you cannot fire, break the nearby glowing orange root to restore your ability to use a ranged attack.
Where to find Martyr’s Tomb
Martyr’s Tomb is in Widow’s Overlook, near the Beacon, in the Fainweald. From the Beacon, look for a ruined church to the east. Continue through the ruin and descend into the tomb. In the antechamber, break the crates to reveal a switch; use it to open the gate to the main chamber.

The gate closes after you enter the chamber, trapping you inside until you solve the exit puzzle. This is intentional, not a sign that the entrance route has broken.

- Turn around so you are facing the sealed gate.
- Look above the gate for a small circular target or plate.
- Use a ranged weapon to hit the target. The gate should rise.
- Walk back through the gate, then retrace the tunnel and take the elevator out.
The journal clue points to the same solution: “Day III. Freedom is in sight. Atop of the gate, the latch sits exposed. If only I had some way to reach it, but alas all I have is this quill.”

What to do if you cannot fire
Break the glowing orange Resolve Root nearby, then try the ranged shot again. Walkthroughs describe the resource it restores inconsistently—some call it ammo, while others call it Resolve—so the practical instruction is to use the root to restore your ability to fire.
What the chest rewards do
The chest contains two items:
- Obsidian Lathe: A key item used with Franz at the Tarforge to unlock sidearm upgrades.
- Parasitic Stone: A Tarstone that grants Leech stacks on kills; accumulating stacks increases maximum health.
Version note
These steps reflect walkthroughs published or indexed from August to October 2026 and a Steam Community Open Beta discussion. The walkthroughs are secondary sources, and beta patches could change puzzle details. They agree that shooting above the gate opens it, but differ in how they describe the resource restored by the root.
