Mortal Shell 2 contains 73 obtainable Tarstones. Finding all Tarstones is required for the Stoned trophy & achievement.
Tarstones function as equipment that gives passive buffs, different effects to your weapons, or new attacks for specific weapons. Combat, Infusion, and Ability Tarstones can only be equipped on certain weapons or sidearms, you aren’t able to use any Tarstone with any weapon or sidearm. Tarstones can be upgraded twice which increases the effect that they give, but this isn’t required for the Stoned trophy/achievement (you only need to obtain every Tarstone).
None of the Tarstones are missable, you can find them all after the final boss in free-roam before choosing to enter New Game+.
Tarstones are listed by type and in the order they appear in the Tarstones menu. Note: there are 2 more spaces than there are available Tarstones in the menu.
