Mortal Shell Abilities

The important thing when it comes to abilities is you won’t have access to them from the get-go. In order to gain access to abilities, you’ll first need to discover the name of your desired shell.

To do so, you’ll need to speak to Awaken Sester Genessa at the entrance of Abandoned Chamber after defeating Enslaved Grisha. It also requires Tar as well as Glimpses.
