How to Get Glimpses in Mortal Shell
There are four primary methods for getting Glimpses inMortal Shell:kill enemies, unlock hidden chests, consume potions, or beat the primary bosses. For extra Glimpses, force-spawn and defeat the two Grishas near the Fallgrime Tower.
Here’s every method for getting Glimpses inMortal Shell.
Any enemy inMortal Shellmay drop Glimpses upon dying. But it’s an RNG-based prize, and there’s no way to foretell the amount. To increase the chance of Glimpse drops by 10%, use the Bronze Bell.
Multiple chests are scattered aroundMortal Shell’smap that contain Glimpses. The trick is to unlock them during a fog—otherwise, they won’t open.
Items with the word “Glimpse” in their title grant the currency. The Glimpse of Affection, for example, gives 4.

A foolproof way to earn Glimpses inMortal Shellis by killing the main bosses. The game has seven major boss fights that can help playersfully upgrade their weapons.
How to Farm Glimpses in Mortal Shell
To farm Glimpses inMortal Shell,respawn the two forest Grishas by talking to Thestus in the Fallgrim Tower. Each Grisha grants 12 Glimpses, which can be doubled by repeating the spawn.
After beating the first zone boss, head to the Fallgrim Tower and locate Thestus. Interact with him, so he asks for a Glimpse, and then select “Yes.” He then creates the fog, which brings back two Grishas in the nearby forest. (Talk to him again to restart the fog or leave the area to stop it.)
The Thestus loop inMortal Shellisthe best way to farm Glimpses. But note that it costs two Glimpses to complete each farming session: one to activate the fog, another to stop it. In other words, players earn 12 Glimpses per run, which drops to 10 because they must reinvest two into the process.
Mortal Shellis available now on PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
