Gragu is likely the third Shell you will find in Mortal Shell 2, located in the One-Legged Wolf Tavern in Fainweald. In order to get him you must travel east from the tavern and acquire the Vatgra Heart.

He operates a bit differently than other Shells in that he doesn't have the same type of healing item. Gragu replenishes healing items by defeating enemies, and gets buffs depending on whether he has any remaining or not. He also gains increased damage vs enemies he's never defeated before, making him great against bosses damage wise, but not so much healing wise.

Gragu also benefits from triggering Blood Curse, which can replenish healing items, so the Axe & Dagger, Clockwork Scythe and The Iconoclast all make solid choices for melee weapons. Both the Cursed Child and Naylshotte can set Blood Curse as well, making them ideal pairings for this Shell.

“The heart speaks no lies.”
