Hag’s Pit Dungeon Walkthrough in Mortal Shell 2 (All Rewards)

Hag’s Pit is a compact combat dungeon in the Ruins of Mammon. Everything happens inside a single cavern around a lit tree altar, and the only real challenge is surviving a large swarm of enemies before you loot the two chests and leave.

Quick answer: Travel to the Outskirts of Mammon beacon, head southeast along the cliff to reach the cave, ride the lift down, wipe out the enemy group, open both chests near the altar, then take the jump pad back up to exit.

Where to find Hag’s Pit

The entrance sits southeast of the Outskirts of Mammon beacon. Fast travel there, then follow the cliff edge down the grassy path until you reach the cave mouth. The area is not shown on the map until you have gone through it, so expect the map view to read as unavailable while you approach.

Note: Watch the ground on the way down. The path is lined with bear-trap-style hazards that will catch you if you sprint blindly toward the cave.

Descend the lift and clear the pit

Step onto the wooden lift platform at the cave entrance and ride it down into the main chamber. There is only one way forward, so the elevator drops you straight into the fight.

Walk toward the ledge overlooking the pit. A large group of enemies, mostly Babkas, is gathered around a lit tree altar in the center of the room.

Fight the crowd using counters and wide, area-clearing swings. The enemies swarm quickly, so avoid letting them surround you and pick them off as they close in. Collect the Glimmer they drop as you go.

Loot both chests

Once the room is clear, collect the two chests around the altar. The main altar chest sits behind the lit tree, and a second chest is tucked out of sight nearby.

Open the large stone chest behind the tree altar. This is the room’s headline reward and also drops a stack of Coins.

Find the second chest tucked behind the boxes near the altar and open it for an Effigy. Sweep the perimeter of the room afterward to grab any loose items left on the floor.

Rewards

Reward	Amount	Where
Laterite	x1	Altar area
Effigy	x1	Second chest behind boxes
Coin	~1,000	Chest by the central tree

Exit and mark the dungeon complete

When both chests are open and the floor loot is picked up, head to the jump pad to leave, or ride the same wooden lift back up through the entrance tunnel.

The game does not track dungeon completion automatically. To keep your own record, open the world map, move the cursor over Hag’s Pit, and select Mark Complete. The map icon changes to confirm the change, and you can switch it back with Mark Incomplete if needed.

Hag’s Pit is not missable. If you skip it during the main run, you can return and finish it in free-roam after the final boss, before deciding to start New Game+.
