Mortal Shell 2 Gorf Quest Walkthrough: Weltcap Mushrooms, Common Moonshine & Poisoned Dagger locations

The Gorf questline is one of the most charming side stories you’ll encounter early in Mortal Shell 2. While the quest itself isn’t particularly complicated, you’ll need to track down several specific items and deliver them in the correct order to progress the story to its surprisingly sweet conclusion. This walkthrough covers every step of the Mortal Shell 2 Gorf questline, including where to find the Weltcap Mushrooms and Common Moonshine he asks for, what to do with the Poisoned Dagger, and how to wrap up the story with Hilga the witch for the best possible ending.

Where to Find Gorf and Start the Quest

Gorf is a huge toad sitting next to the Widow’s Overlook Beacon, and you’re going to need to find some items to give him to progress his questline until its cute little end. From the Widow’s Overlook, head past the trial area, turn right, and you’ll hear him coughing nearby. Talking to him kicks off the quest, and he’ll immediately ask for a Weltcap Mushroom.

Weltcap Mushroom Location

If you didn’t pick up any Weltcap Mushrooms during the prologue, there’s a convenient spot right next to Gorf to grab some. Look behind the tree that’s close by to Gorf and the trial, where you’ll find three mushrooms, which is enough to cover this part of the quest. Head back to Gorf and hand one over.

It might seem like that’s the end of the interaction, but it isn’t. Go back to the Widow’s Overlook Beacon and rest to progress the story, then return to Gorf. He’ll ask for a second Weltcap Mushroom, so give him that one too, then head back to the Beacon and rest again.

Common Moonshine Locations for Gorf

Talk to Gorf once more after resting and he’ll ask for a Common Moonshine to wash it all down. If you haven’t picked any up during your exploration, you’ll need three in total to fully complete the questline, so it’s worth grabbing them all in one trip.

• First bottle: From the Widow’s Overlook Beacon, run past the Mushroom Village entrance toward where the teal shell is located. You’ll find the first Common Moonshine at the corner of the house there.





• Second bottle: Head back a little and pass the section where you find the map. In the corner there are two enemies, so watch out for traps on the ground while dealing with them. Once they’re down, you’ll find another Common Moonshine.





• Third bottle: Enter the Mushroom Village itself. There are enemy NPCs near the entrance that you can simply skip past. Head upstairs and check the corner to find the third Common Moonshine.

With all three bottles collected, return to the beacon and then to Gorf to hand one over. Rest at the beacon again, then talk to him once more. You’ll notice some dead enemies nearby that you can loot for a small amount of souls, then Gorf will ask for another Moonshine.

The Poisoned Dagger and the Knowledgeable Inhabitant

The next time you talk to Gorf, he’ll be wounded, and he’ll hand you a Poisoned Dagger instead of asking for anything else. The item description states that only a knowledgeable inhabitant of these lands will know how to concoct a cure, which means it’s time to track down someone who can help.

To find this knowledgeable inhabitant, make your way to the Mushroom Village Beacon. From there, go right and across the little wooden bridge until you reach the section of the village where you’ll find a man bathing in a cauldron alongside Hilga the witch. Talk to Hilga and she’ll accept the Poisoned Dagger from you.

Completing the Gorf and Hilga Questline

After giving Hilga the dagger, rest at the Mushroom Village Beacon and go back to where she was standing. She’ll have vanished, leaving behind a note suggesting you should already know where to find her. This is your cue to head back to Gorf.

Talking to Gorf again nets you your final Marsh Pearl, but if you want to see the full ending of this questline, don’t stop there. Go back to the Beacon, rest, and return to Gorf to see what’s happened between him and Hilga. Talking to them both will fill in the rest of the story. Rest at the Beacon one final time to reset the area, and you’ll get the happy ending for Gorf and Hilga in Mortal Shell 2. As far as this walkthrough goes, that’s the conclusion of the Gorf questline.

Marsh Pearl Rewards and Where to Sell Them

As a reward for seeing the questline through, you’ll collect five Marsh Pearls along the way. These can be sold at the merchant in Merrow Keep, reportedly for around 10,000 gold coins, which you can then put toward maps, weapon upgrades, or whatever else catches your eye. Some players have also noted that helping Gorf by giving him Weltcap and Common Moonshine rewards a Marsh Pearl per exchange, so keeping an eye out for extra supplies during your travels can make this side quest even more profitable.
