Gragu is found inside the One-Legged Wolf Tavern in eastern Fainweald.

Where is Gragu in Mortal Shell 2?
Section titled “Where is Gragu in Mortal Shell 2?”Gragu is inside the One-Legged Wolf Tavern in eastern Fainweald.
The tavern is both the start and end of his unlock route: first talk to Gragu there, then return after collecting the Heart of Vatra.
How to get Gragu to ask for the Heart of Vatra
Section titled “How to get Gragu to ask for the Heart of Vatra”Talk to Gragu and continue through his dialogue until he asks you to bring him the Heart of Vatra.
Do not rely on a fixed interaction count. The useful rule is simply to exhaust the relevant dialogue until the Heart request appears.
Once the request is active, head east toward the Temple of Vatra.
Where is the Heart of Vatra?
Section titled “Where is the Heart of Vatra?”The Heart of Vatra is at the Temple of Vatra, east of the One-Legged Wolf Tavern.
At the top of the Temple, look for a corrupted kneeling statue. The Heart is taken from that statue.
The Heart is the quest item you need to bring back to Gragu.
How to reach the Temple of Vatra
Section titled “How to reach the Temple of Vatra”From the One-Legged Wolf Tavern, continue east.
A supported route uses the Bone Gate / chasm crossing to reach the Temple side of eastern Fainweald.
If corruption is still blocking the eastward route, continue your wider progression and return when the relevant access / Mether’s Breath progression allows you through. This guide does not use an invented fixed Ova threshold for that gate.
How to get the Heart and escape the temple
Section titled “How to get the Heart and escape the temple”Reach the corrupted kneeling statue at the top of the Temple and take the Heart of Vatra.
Picking up the Heart activates nearby enemies and blocks the obvious return path.
Instead of trying to force your way back through the same route, look for the side / alternate exit and use it to leave the Temple.
From there, return to the One-Legged Wolf Tavern.
How to give Gragu the Heart and unlock his Shell
Section titled “How to give Gragu the Heart and unlock his Shell”Talk to Gragu again and give him the Heart of Vatra.
The resulting event leaves Gragu’s body available to inhabit. Interact with it to unlock Gragu as a playable Shell.
The unlock is associated with the Heartless trophy / achievement.
For the broader Shell index, see the Shells guide.
Optional: Berserker’s Stone in the Temple of Vatra
Section titled “Optional: Berserker’s Stone in the Temple of Vatra”The Temple also contains the Berserker’s Stone, but it is a separate optional reward.
Its chest is tied to a three-fire / three-candle offering puzzle.
You do not need Berserker’s Stone to obtain the Heart of Vatra or unlock Gragu. Keep the two objectives separate if you only want to finish the Shell quest.
For the site’s broader stone coverage, see the Tarstones guide and Tarforge guide.
