Shape of Dreams players often struggle to unlock the elusive character Shell, as her acquisition hinges on completing the cryptic Wooden Doll quest. This guide breaks down the process, common pitfalls, and troubleshooting steps.
Unlocking Shell: Key Steps
- Locate the Wooden Doll during later stages of gameplay.
- Collect three small souls displayed as glowing prompts near the Doll.
- Insert all souls into the Doll until it animates and vanishes.
- Complete your current run to add Shell to your character roster.
Understanding the Wooden Doll Mechanic
This eerie figurine serves as Shell’s unlock catalyst. After gathering the required souls, the Doll’s disappearance confirms successful completion – but you must finish the run to cement the unlock. For help finding the Doll initially, refer to our wooden doll location guide.
Troubleshooting Unlock Issues
Reports indicate a persistent bug where Shell remains locked despite meeting requirements. Workarounds include:
- Fully closing and restarting the game to force a hotfix download
- Repeating the soul-collection process post-update
If these fail, await further developer patches.
FAQ
