Tarstones have different uses; some can provide bonuses to your character, change some of your attacks, or even give effects to your gear. They can be obtained from chests or by completing trials, exploring secret locations or progressing through certain stages of the game.
All 75 Tarstones Locations
Mortal Shell 2 has a total of 75 Tarstones to collect, and finding them all is required to unlock the Stoned trophy and achievement. Tarstones are special items that can be infused into your equipment to give you different passive bonuses or change how certain attacks and actions work.
Depending on the Tarstone, you can increase your damage, change your attacks, improve your Critical Chance, or gain other effects related to the Resolve system.
