Well, considering it's a completely different word if you leave the accent off, it's kinda mandatory

I'm going to sound incredibly ignorant now, but I've never come across this before.
Can I just be really thick and ask why an accent on "corpséd shell" is required in that context? ^-^;

"Corpséd" in and of itself, I'm pretty sure isn't a word you'd ever find in the dictionary. I like to make them up :P
You'd be better served by looking at the difference between the words aged and agéd. Although probably about 99% of english speakers, no matter how fluent they are would just spell both as "Aged", with significant pronunciation differences (like "read" and "read") and the context they're placed in defining which one is which.
It comes down to the stressing of the syllables, basically as to which means what.
"Aged" (pronounced aged, with the stress on the first part) is usually used to denote the process of ageing. Eg: "Jim aged visibly before his eyes" or "Her hair had darkened as she had aged" where as agéd is pronounced as "Agedd" with the stress on the back half of the word, and refers to something to which the act of ageing has already occurred. Eg: "The agéd warrior stood crooked and bent" or "fingers rubbed at agéd scars", where it practically becomes a synonym for "Old" (but fancier)
Yes, the English language actually has accents.
"Corpsed" (no accent) is actually slang for getting so shitfaced drunk you're practically comatose, or used in past reference to a particular theatre gaffe called "Corpsing" (where a "dead body" on stage being portrayed by a live actor starts laughing or moving) . However, if you nose along the example above, Corpséd becomes an evocative word intimating something that has already been dried and rotted, like, well, a corpse.
[...] they've pretty much fallen out of fashion, and have had for some time. But I'm an pretentious shit, so I like to play with them :P
