4. Soul List
-------------------------------------------------------------

Here you can see some information about the souls.
Like: Soul name and how many levels the soul has.
It also shows from which enemy you can get the soul.
you can also see the souls type (Bullet, Guardian, Enchant or Ability),
and a small description of it.
I hope this list will help you.

But first,
I'll explain the Soul levels and Types,
so that everyone understands.

-----------------------------------
What Are Soul Levels?
-----------------------------------
Well, all the souls have their own level.
some of them may have 1 and some of them may have 9.
And remember that You can't have more than 9 of each soul.

Here is a small explanation:

About Lv: /9 Souls: 
---------------------------
Lv: /9 souls are type of souls which have 9 levels.

1 Soul: Level 1/9
2 Souls: Level 2/9 (Power Increased Very Slightly)
3 Souls: Level 3/9 (Power Increased Very Slightly)
4 Souls: Level 4/9 (Power Increased Very Slightly)
5 Souls: Level 5/9 (Power Increased Very Slightly)
6 Souls: Level 6/9 (Power Increased Very Slightly)
7 Souls: Level 7/9 (Power Increased Very Slightly)
8 Souls: Level 8/9 (Power Increased Very Slightly)
9 Souls: Level 9/9 (Power Increased Very Slightly)

If you have 9 souls of a certain Lv /9 soul the power of that soul
will be increased,
this way the soul is much more powerful and useful.

About Lv: /3 Souls:
---------------------------
Lv: /3 Souls Are type of souls which have 3 levels.

1 Soul: Level 1/3
2 Souls: Level 1/3
3 Souls: Level 1/3
4 Souls: Level 1/3
5 Souls: Level 2/3 (Power Increased)
6 Souls: Level 2/3
7 Souls: Level 2/3
8 Souls: Level 2/3
9 Souls: Level 3/3 (Power Greatly Increased)

As You can see Lv: /3 Souls Increase their power 2 times.
And they still need 9 souls to be upgraded to Lv 3/3.

About Lv: /5 Souls:
---------------------------
Lv: /5 Souls Are type of souls which have 5 levels.

1 Soul: Level 1/5
2 Souls: Level 1/5
3 Souls: Level 2/5 (Power Increased)
4 Souls: Level 2/5
5 Souls: Level 3/5 (Power Increased) 
6 Souls: Level 3/5
7 Souls: Level 4/5 (Power Increased)
8 Souls: Level 4/5
9 Souls: Level 5/5 (Power Increased)

As you see Lv. /5 Souls power increase at each level.
And Lv: /5 souls also need 9 Souls to reach Lv 5/5.

About Lv: /2 Souls:
---------------------------
Lv: /2 Souls Are type of souls which have only 2 levels.

1 Soul: Level 1/2
2 Souls: Level 1/2
3 Souls: Level 1/2
4 Souls: Level 1/2
5 Souls: Level 1/2
6 Souls: Level 1/2
7 Souls: Level 1/2
8 Souls: Level 1/2
9 Souls: Level 2/2 (Power Greatly Increased)

Lv: /2 Souls are very rare. Actually there is only one enemy
who has Lv: /2 Soul, and that's Disc Armor.

About Lv: /1 Souls:
----------------------------
Lv: /1 Souls Are type of souls which have only 1 level.
So, Lv: /1 Souls can not be upgraded.
Even if you have 9 of that soul, the power always remains the same.

1 Soul: Level 1/1
2 Souls: Level 1/1
3 Souls: Level 1/1
4 Souls: Level 1/1
5 Souls: Level 1/1
6 Souls: Level 1/1
7 Souls: Level 1/1
8 Souls: Level 1/1
9 Souls: Level 1/1

See? No upgrades. None. The power will always remain the same.

------------------------------------
What Are Soul Types?
------------------------------------

This Part is easy. I think everybody knows what are the Soul types.
But I'll explain them here so that we are sure that everybody
knows what they are.
Ok, they are really simple, There is 4 types of Souls:

Bullet Souls.
Guardian Souls.
Enchant Souls.
Ability Souls.

These are the 4 types of souls which we have.

Bullet Souls. (Red)
---------------------------
As you can see from the term "Bullet", Bullet souls are
pretty much all offensive.
Almost all of them cause some kind of damage.
there maybe only couple bullet souls which are not harmful
to the enemies.
Most of the Souls are Bullet Souls.

Guardian Souls. (Blue)
---------------------------------
Guardian souls, once again as you see from the term "Guardian",
they are often defensive. For example all the familiars which
you can summon are Guardian typed souls.
There is also offensive Guardian souls.
But the main thing in them is that, when you enable a Guardian soul,
the effect of it wont stop till you disable it or you run out of mana.

Enchant Souls. (Yellow)
-----------------------------------
Enchant Souls are type of souls which will help you in many ways.
They may increase your stats or they may do team work with
some of the Bullet/Guardian souls.
Or they will just simply aid you in battle.

Ability Souls (Grey)
-----------------------------
Ability Souls are always on.
You can Disable them if you like but why disable them when they
are always on and they do nothing else than help you in the game.
Most of the Ability souls will be received from the Bosses.


There was everything about the Soul types.
Simple isn't it? if you are new with the game and
the levels/types of the souls seem still a bit confusing.
Believe me, you will learn them very soon.

--------------------------------------------
Advice And Soul Rate.
--------------------------------------------

My Advice may be personal, as we all have our own way to play
the game, so sometimes you may not completely agree with me,
but I try to give a clear picture of the souls and how good
they are.

Soul Rates.
-----------
5 Stars: Very useful.
4 Stars: Good.
3 Stars: Decent.
2 Stars: Rarely needed.
1 Star: Useless.

--------------------------------------------
Soul Rarity Rate
--------------------------------------------

* Common Soul

** Uncommon soul

*** Very Rare Soul

--------------------------------------------
Souls.
--------------------------------------------

1. Zombie Soul
Lv: /9
Obtained from: Zombie
Type: Bullet
Location of Monster: The Lost Village
Rarity: *

Description: Summon Zombie.

Soul Advice:
Early in the game it may be used pretty much, but the reason is mostly because
there isn't any other souls to use. If you have the Zombie soul level at 9/9
then it's useful to use when the monster is big and blocks the way. The Zombies
that Soma summons March trough enemies and do minimal damage.

Soul Rate: *

================================

2. Bat Soul
Lv: /9
Obtained from: Bat
Type:Guardian
Location of Monster: The Lost Village, Silenced Ruins
Rarity: **

Description: Summon Bat as familiar.

Soul Advice:
Bat soul can be useful early in the game. but if you manage
to get it to level 9/9 (3 bats) then it maybe useful even later. But there is
so much better familiars to summon that bat soul will be left behind very soon
but it's good to use early when you are in The Lost Village and Wizardy Lab.

Soul Rate: **

================================

3. Ghost Soul
Lv: /1
Obtained from: Ghost
Type: Guardian
Location of Monster: Wizardy Lab
Rarity: ***

Description: Separate from the body and conduct reconnaissance.

Soul Advice:
I haven't used this soul at all. I see no use of it.
The ghost moves slowly and can't move far from somas body, since you
can't use soma while moving with the ghost.
And you can't attack while being a ghost.

Soul Rate: *

================================

4. Skeleton Soul
Lv: /3
Obtained from: Skeleton
Type: Bullet
Location of Monster: The Lost Village, Wizardy Lab,
Demon Quest House, Lost Ruins
Rarity: **

Description: Throw bones.

Soul Advice:
Useful when is your first bullet soul. Skeleton Soul works
just like Axe armors soul but is much more weaker. Though Soma throws
The Bone a little bit more forward, when it throws the axe more upwards.
Anyway I think that this soul will not be used after obtaining axe armor soul.
Of course you can use it but I don't recommend it...
Even after getting the souls level to 9/9 the bone which some throws gets only
bigger. But is still weak.

Soul Rate: *

================================

5. Ouija Table Soul
Lv: /1
Obtained from: Ouija Table
Type: Enchant
Location of Monster: The Lost Village
Rarity: ***

Description: Sit in the chair to regain health.

Soul Advice:
Now this soul can be very useful!
I don't recommend to equip it till you see a chair somewhere.
When you see a chair, just equip the soul and press up at the chair to
sit down. Your health will restore to full in few seconds...
It also restores slightly your MP.

Soul Rate: ****

================================

6. Peeping Eye Soul
Lv. /1
Obtained from: Peeping Eye
Type: Enchant
Location of Monster: The Lost Village, Silenced Ruin, Demon Guest House
Rarity: ***

Description: Identify breakable walls.

Soul Advice:
As it is hard to obtain it's also pretty useful.
I recommend to use this soul after defeating all the bosses and when it's time
to explore the map 100%.
Just equip this soul and go run all around the rooms of the castle. and if
you see a big yellow shining dot at the wall, it means that the wall is
breakable.

Soul Rate: ***

================================

7. Axe Armor Soul
Lv: /3
Obtained from: Axe Armor
Type: Bullet
Location of Monster: The Lost Village, Demon Guest House
Rarity: *

Description: Throw an axe upwards.

Soul Advice:
As many other early obtained souls, this soul is also pretty
useless. Of course it's much more powerful and useful than the Skeleton Soul.
But you will soon get souls which are much more better than this soul is.
BUT! If you manage to get this souls level to 3/3 then this soul can be pretty
useful even later in the game. Then it's very useful even against many bosses.
Because at level 3/3 the axe that Soma throws upwards grows bigger and does
more damage.

Soul Rate: ***

================================

8. Skull Archer Soul
Lv: /3
Obtained from: Skull Archer
Type: Guardian
Location of Monster: Wizardy Lab, Silenced Ruin
Rarity: **

Description: Shoot arrows with deadly accuracy.

Soul Advice:
This soul is probably the most powerful soul in the game if fully charged.
It causes tremendous damage to all the enemies when charged.
Skeleton Archers soul is useful when you get it till the end of the game.
I recommend to use it against Final Guards, they can die from 2 fully charged
arrows. But remember that when charging the arrow, your mana runs out fast.

Soul Rate: *****

================================

9. Warg Soul
Lv: /9
Obtained from: Warg
Type: Bullet
Location of Monster: The Lost Village
Rarity: *

Description: Use fangs to tear at foes.

Soul Advice:
very useful soul in certain situations. Though the range isn't
very good, but the damage that it causes is pretty high.
Specially at level 9/9.
Wargs soul is useful early in the game and IF you like it and have mastered
the souls power, then it's also useful till certain place of the game (maybe
till The Dark Chapel).

Soul Rate: ***

================================

10. Spin Devil Soul
Lv: /5
Obtained from: Spin Devil 
Type: Guardian
Location of Monster: The Lost Village
Rarity: *

Description: Create tornadoes.

Soul Advice:
I didn't find much use for this soul... It can be useful in
rare situations since the tornado appears over Somas head. But mostly I don't
think you will use this soul much. only in certain situations... i'm not
saying it's totally useless... But I don't think you will use this much.
since there is so much better Guardian souls than this one.
But you are able to absorb enemy bullets with this souls power.

Soul Rate: **

================================

11. Armor Knight Soul
Lv: /9
Obtained from: Armor knight
Type: Guardian
Location of Monster: The Lost Village
Rarity: **

Description: Attack with spinning spear.

Soul Advice:
Can be useful if surrounded with enemies.
It's useful early in the game but soon you will get better guardian souls.
While soma is spinning the spear around he can't move. so that's one
weak point of this soul. the souls power is decent but not high unless it's
at high level.

Soul Rate: **

================================

12. Student Witch Soul
Lv: /9
Obtained from: Student Witch
Type: Bullet
Location of Monster: The Lost Village, Wizardy Lab
Rarity: **

Description: Summon a cat.

Soul Advice:
No way. There is so much better bullet souls obtained when you
get this one. When soma summons the cat, it just runs through enemies and
causes minimal damage. Not very useful. only when soma is at high level and
enemies die from one blow. But this soul is useless from beginning to the end.

Soul Rate: *

================================

13. Slaughterer Soul
Lv: /1
Obtained from: Slaughterer
Type. Bullet
Location of Monster: Wizardy Lab
Rarity: **

Description: Smack enemies with quick straight punches.

Soul Advice:
The punch that Soma does has very bad range, it almost doesn't
have range at all. But the damage that soma does is VERY high. but being
so close to the enemy is dangerous. if combined well with the werewolf soul
then it can be very useful. (Read more at werewolfs soul Advice section)

Soul Rate: **

With Werewolf, Soul rate: *****

================================

14. Bomb Armor Soul
Lv: /3
Obtained from: Bomb Armor
Type: Bullet
Location of Monster: Wizardy Lab
Rarity: **

Description: Toss a high-power explosives.

Soul Advice:
The Bomb causes high damage but Soma throws the bomb too
close to himself, that's why you need to be close to the enemies while
using this soul. I highly recommend to get this souls level to 3/3. then this
soul is much more useful.

Soul Rate: ***

================================

15.Golem Soul
Lv: /9
Obtained from: Golem
Type: Enchant
Location of Monster: Wizardy Lab
Rarity: **

Description: Raise STR.

Soul Advice:
Well this soul is simple. it increases your STR.
Higher the level, more STR increased. Actually very useful Enchant soul.
It's useful from beginning to the end, specially in boss fights.

Soul Rate: ****

================================

16. Slime Soul
Lv: /9
Obtained from: Slime
Type: Bullet
Location of Monster: Wizardy Lab
Rarity: *

Description: Summon a bouncy slime

Soul Advice:
Very useful in small places. the slimes bounce from
walls, floor and roof. pretty useful when obtained. And if known how to use
well then it can be pretty useful even till certain place of the game.
If you use this soul, I recommend to use summon many slimes at time.
But when you get this soul, you all ready how many better bullet souls.

Soul Rate: ***

================================

17. Une Soul
Lv: /9
Obtained from: Une
Type: Bullet
Location of Monster: Subterranean Hell, Garden of Madness
Rarity: **

Description: Throw une at a foe.

Soul Advice:
Only useful against big and slow enemies which don't
move much/at all. Soma throws the Une too close to himself and the Une doesn't
have much power. There is way too many better bullet souls when you obtain
this one, that I don't think that you will use this. I don't recommend
to use this soul much since the range and damage is so low.

Soul Rate: *

================================

18. Skeleton Ape Soul
Lv: /1
Obtained from: Skeleton Ape
Type: Enchant
Location of Monster: Garden of Madness, The Lost Village,
Condemned Tower
Rarity: ***

Description: Throw a foe with incredible power.

Soul Advice:
This soul is tricky... Alone it does nothing. but if combined
with other souls then it can be very useful.
(read more in the Skeleton Ape soul combo section)

Soul Rate: *

Combined, Soul rate: *****

================================

19. Manticore Soul
Lv: /9
Obtained from: Manticore
Type: Guardian
Location of Monster: Wizardy Lab
Rarity: **

Description: Grow a tail.

Soul Advice:
Actually very useful when you get this soul,
I found it useful against bosses and many other enemies.
the tail that soma grows attacks every time that you attack with soma,
This way you strike two times with one strike.
But it will get old after a while.

Soul rate: ***

================================

20. Mollusca Soul
Lv: /3
Obtained from: Mollusca
Type: Bullet
Location of Monster: Garden of Madness
Rarity: **

Description: Summon a mollusca.

Soul Advice:
This is like many other summon souls: Not very good.
Soma just summons a mollusca which races for couple second forward and does
medium damage to the enemies. I have never found this soul useful since there
is so many better bullet souls when you obtain this.
It has a slight chance to poison foes.

Soul Rate: *

================================

21. Rycuda Soul
Lv: /9
Obtained from: Rycuda
Type: Bullet
Location of Monster: Garden of Madness
Rarity: **

Description: Summon Tunderbolts.

Soul Advice:
This soul is not very powerful but it can be useful in some situations.
The range and the power of the tunderbolt that Soma casts from his hand is
very low. But it's useful to use in situations where is lot of weak enemies
in the room.
When the level of the soul gets to 9/9. the tunderbolt multiples on many
enemies. But the damage is still low. I don't recommend to use it much
since there is bullet souls which can kill harder enemies from one blow.
with this soul you may need three strikes to kill a decent powered enemy.

Soul Rate: ***

================================

22. Mandragora Soul
Lv: /1
Obtained from: Mandragora
Type. Bullet
Location of Monster: Garden of Madness
Rarity: **

Description: Shout to send monsters flying.

Soul Advice:
This Souls is probably one of the best souls there is.
It does tremendous damage with very good range. Though the mandragora
that Soma throws doesn't have much range... but when it explodes
the range/damage is massive.
I highly recommend to use this soul. It's useful everywhere.

Soul Rate: *****

================================

23. Yorick Soul
Lv: /1
Obtained from: Yorick
Type: Bullet
Location of Monster: Garden of Madness
Rarity: **

Description: Kick a skull like a ball.

Soul Advice:
The Skull that Soma throws does very low damage and also has
low range. Bur if you throw the skull and do a slide so that Soma kicks the
ball and hits the enemy then it does amazing damage. But is useless against
fast enemies which dodge your attacks.
And the slide takes you near the enemies, and thats not good.
there is better bullet souls to use when you obtain this one, use them!
And, the slide kick is hard to do so that it hits the skull. But after you
have mastered to do it right... This soul is great!
I've heard rumors that it's useful against final guards....

Soul Rate: ***

================================

24. Skeleton Farmer Soul
Lv. /1
Obtained from: Skeleton Farmer
Type: Enchant
Location of Monster: Garden of Madness
Rarity: ***

Description: Enhance the performance of plant type abilities.

Soul Advice:
Well. Nothing Special... This soul just boosts the power of
plant type souls. Like: Une, Mandragora, Corpseweed and Alura une.
I highly recommend to use this soul with Mandragora. Then you will do
tremendous damage with it. of course alone without any plant type soul
this is useless.

Soul Rate: ***

================================

25. The Creature Soul
Lv: /1
Obtained from: The Creature
Type: Enchant
Location of Monster: Wizardy Lab, The Dark Chapel
Rarity: ***

Description: Restore HP gradually.

Soul Advice:
Very useful soul. Every second you restore 1 HP.
It's good to have equipped. when you have taken too much damage and there
isn't a save spot near just stand somewhere for couple minutes and you have
restored about half of your health. but if your soma is at high level so
that it has over 700 health, then this soul wont help you much...

Soul Rate: ****

================================

26. Catublepas Soul
Lv: /3
Obtained from: Catublepas
Type: Guardian
Location of Monster: Garden of Madness, Cursed Clocktower,
The Dark Chapel
Rarity: **

Description: Breath clouds of petrifying gas.

Soul Advice:
Not very powerful... and the range isn't very good either.
but it still does good damage equal the MP that it uses.
I recommend to level it up to 3/3. Then you have a chance to
petrify the enemies. and then this soul is useful.

Soul Rate: ***

================================

27. Ghoul Soul
Lv: /1
Obtained from: Ghoul
Type: Enchant
Location of Monster: Silenced Ruin, Garden of Madness
Rarity: ***

Description: Eat food that is normally unpalatable.

Soul Advice:
Very useful if you are out of health potions and you have
Rotten meat or rusted food tin in your inventory.
You see, when equipped this soul you can eat: Rotten Meat, Rusted food tins
and Toxic mushrooms. I recommend not to equip this soul till you
are planning to eat a food which you normally couldn't.
Anyway, this soul has saved me many times.

Soul Rate: ****

================================

28. Corpseweed Soul
Lv: /9
Obtained from: Corpseweed
Type: Guardian
Location of Monster: Garden of Madness
Rarity: *

Description: Summon Corpseweed as a familiar.

Soul Advice:
Not very useful... The corpseweed appears on top of the
Soma and starts dropping seeds from it mouth all the time. The higher
the level, more seeds will be dropped down.
I don't think this is very good familiar. since there is better guardian
souls when you get this one. even after lv. 9/9 this soul isn't very useful.
the seeds that corpseweed drops have low damage and low range.

Soul Range: **

================================

29. Yeti Soul
Lv: /1
Obtained from: Yeti
Type: Guardian
Location of Monster: The Lost Village
Rarity: *

Description: Create a white orb of dark power that grows as it rolls.

Soul Advice:
Doesn't take much MP, and is fun.
You have to run pretty much till the Snow ball that soma is rolling gets big
and powerful. and it often gets stuck somewhere and disappears.
and when the Snowball is small it doesn't do much damage.
Believe me, this will be fun... but I don't recommend to use it as a weapon in
real fights.

Soul Rate: **

================================

30. Tombstone Soul
Lv: /1
Obtained from: Tombstone
Type: Enchant
Location of Monster: The Dark Chapel
Rarity: ***

Description: Nullify petrification.

Soul Advice:
Very useful! Specially when in Cursed Clocktower.
The medusa heads there can petrify you and that's very annoying!
So this soul is very useful there and against other enemies which are able
to petrify.

Soul Rate: ****

================================

31. Ghost Dancer Soul
Lv: /9
Obtained from: Ghost Dancer
Type: Enchant
Location of Monster: Demon Guest House, The Dark Chapel
Rarity: **

Description: Raise LUCK.

Soul Advice:
One of the most used souls. Best Enchant soul
for soul harvesting. Because luck increases the chance to get a soul.
I recommend to level up this soul to 9/9. And use it when harvesting souls.

Soul Rate: ****

================================

32. Flying Humanoid Soul
Lv: /1
Obtained from. Flying Humanoid
Type: Guardian
Location of Monster: Cursed Clocktower
Rarity: (100%)

Description: Raise INT and LUCK.

Soul Advice:
Soma grows big angel wings and raises his INT and LUCK for few seconds...
Useful when harvesting souls. I recommend to use spells after activating
this soul, because INT raises the power of spells. And LUCK increases your
chance to get souls. So no, this soul isn't very useful when fighting against
bosses, I prefer to use it against normal enemies. If needed.

Soul Rate: ***

================================

33. Mini Devil Soul
Lv: /3
Obtained from: Mini Devil
Type: Guardian
Location of Monster: The Dark Chapel
Rarity: **

Description: Summon Mini Devil as a familiar.


Soul Advice:
Not very good familiar. There is better. Mini Devil is too weak and
since there is so many better Familiars to summon this one wont be much
used. I recommend not to use this soul alone, unless with the Guillotiner.
(Read more in the Soul Combo section)
It has a slight chance to curse enemy from above level 2.

Soul Rate: **

================================

34. Quetzalcoatl Soul
Lv: /9
Obtained from: Quetzalcoatl
Type: Guardian
Location of Monster: The Dark Chapel
Rarity: **

Description: Summon Quetzalcoatl as a familiar.

Soul Advice:
If you know when to use this soul, then it can be very useful. I recommend to
use it against bosses and big enemies. Since it doesn't strike it can be
pretty useless sometimes. Try to get the level to 9/9. Then Quetzalcoatl
becomes longer and causes more damage. It just spins around Soma and tries to
hit the enemies, which is lame..

Soul Rate: **

================================

35. Treant Soul
Lv: /1
Obtained from: Treant
Type: Enchant
Location of Monster: Garden of Maddnes
Rarity: ***

Description: Increase MP recovery speed.

Soul Advice:
Yes, you regain faster MP... but very slightly faster... so that you may not
see the difference. But it still is useful. Because after using lot of MP
equip this soul and fight with attack only. and after while you see how your
MP has recovered. When you get Chaos ring... this soul becomes useless.

Soul Rate: ***

================================

36. Amalaric Sniper Soul
Lv: /9
Obtained from: Amalaric Sniper
Type: Bullet
Location of Monster: The Dark Chapel
Rarity: **

Description: Summon an archer to support you.

Soul Advice:
Powerful, Fast and Cool looking. Need to say more?
Yes, this is one of the best bullet souls. It does high damage to
enemies and Bosses. And I Highly recommend to use it and level it up to 9/9.
the looks wont change at level 9/9 but it becomes much more powerful.
And it becomes even more useful with the Skull Archer Soul.

================================

37. Valkyrie Soul
Lv: /1
Obtained from: Valkyrie
Type: Guardian
Location of Monster: The Dark Chapel

Rarity: ***

Description: Transform into a Valkyrie and charge at foes.

Soul Advice:
As it is hard to obtain. but it is very nice soul.
When you turn into a Valkyrie you are invincible, but you can't control
your self. you just start charging with pretty high speed through enemies.
And as Valkyrie your mana runs low pretty fast. I didn't use this soul much
because you can't control your self and it takes too much mana.
very useless against Bosses.

Soul Rate: ***

================================

38. Great Armor Soul
Lv: /1
Obtained from: Great Armor
Type: Guardian
Location of Monster: The Dark Chapel
Rarity: **

Description: Summon Great Armor as a familiar.

Soul Advice:
Great Armor is probably the best Familiar there is.
When you strike Great Armor Strikes after you.
No, it isn't as big as it normally is. It flies
above Soma and hits enemies every time you attack.
the blows are slow but powerful. I recommend this soul against bosses and
when exploring the castle.

Soul Rate: ****

39. Killer Doll Soul
Lv: /1
Obtained from: Killer Doll
Type: Enchant
Location of Monster: Demon Guest House
Rarity: ***

Description: Nullify Curses

Soul Advice:
Maybe not as useful as Tombstone soul, because there isn't many enemies
which can curse. Only the Killer Dolls and in New Game + the tanjellys
are able to curse.
So you wont use this soul much. Maybe when fighting against Tanjellys and
Killer Dolls.

40. Waiter Skeleton Soul
Lv: /3
Obtained from: Waiter Skeleton
Type: Bullet
Location of Monster: Demon Guest House, Silenced Ruin
Rarity: **

Description: Serve delicious curry.

Soul Advice:
As a bullet soul it's pretty useless. But without this soul you can't
Get yetis soul. So in that way this soul is a bit useful after all.
When soma throws the curry bowl on the ground, if the enemies touch it
they suffer minimal damage. So yes, as a bullet soul this is useless.
And at level 3/3 the size of the curry bowl icreases.
Remember to use it while killing Iron Golem.

41. Persephone Soul
Lv: /3
Obtained from: Persephone
Type: Guardian
Location of Monster: Demon Guest House
Rarity: **

Description: Enable "Magic Vacuum". Vacuums up enemy HP.

Soul Advice:
The vacuum does small damage to the enemy and from each struck Soma restores
2 HP. I recommend to level it up to 3/3 as it becomes more powerful and drains
more HP. But the range of the vacuum always remains short.
Very useful with Succubus soul. You can also drain enemies bullets like
Killer Clown's cards and etc... Also use it to blow up Witch Student's
skirt up :)

42. Witch Soul
Lv: /3
Obtained from: Witch
Type: Bullet
Location of Monster: The Dark Chapel, Demon Guest House
Rarity: **

Description: Launch magic shots that track targets.

Soul Advice:
Not very powerful but it does track the enemy.
Even after leveling it to 3/3 it's still pretty useless.
I recommend to use it to flying enemies, because the magic shot
tracks and kills them since most of the flying enemies are weak.

43. Buer Soul
Lv: /5
Obtained from: Buer
Type: Guardian
Location of Monster: Demon Guest House
Rarity: *

Description: Wear a cloak of tumbling fire.

Soul Advice:
Does very small damage, but can be useful. I often use it when there
isn't save point near and I have low health. It does save lives, trust me.
And I recommend to level it up to 5/5. Because then enemies suffer more from
the fireballs around Soma, and also the amount of fireballs increase.
At each level one more fireball appears around Soma. At level 5 Soma has
5 Fireballs around him.

44. Lilith Soul
Lv: /9
Obtained from: Lilith
Type: Enchant
Location of Monster: Demon Guest House
Rarity: **

Description: Increase INT.

Soul Advice:
Simply Increases your INT. INT increases the power of your spells.
I really don't recommend to use Lilith soul, when you have much better
Enchant souls. But if you really want to make this soul useful, then
Level it up to 9/9. Then the amount of INT is increased even more.
Do you really think that this is the Enchant soul you should have equipped?
I don't recommend that. there is better Enchant souls.

45. Killer Clown Soul
Lv: /9
Obtained from: Killer Clown
Type: Bullet
Location of Monster: Demon Guest House
Rarity: **

Description: Throw cards as weapons.

Soul Advice:
Good Range, Medium Damage, Fast and cool looking.
I recommend to level it up to 9/9, Then you will start seeing familiar
faces on the cards. and the cards do much more damage.
This is pretty good Bullet soul, but i don't recommend it on boss fights.
And if you like to use this as your bullet soul a lot,
then i recommend to use it with the Skeleton Ape soul,
as the cards become even faster.

Obtained from: Skelerang
Type: Enchant
Location of Monster: The Lost Village, Demon Guest House,
Silenced Ruin, Garden of Madness
Rarity: **

Description: Enhance throwing ability.

Soul Advice:
Only useful when using long range weapons (Boomerang, Death sickle etc...)
But I really Don't recommend it, unless you really like to use weapons
like that. Because weapons like: 2h Swords, 1h Swords, spears and axes are
much more powerful. And I recommend to use some other Enchant soul than this.
Believe me, there is better. thoigh this soul isn't completely useless. Can
be handy sometimes :)

47. Fleaman Soul
Lv: /9
Obtained from: Fleaman
Type: Bullet
Location of Monster: Condemned Tower
Rarity: **

Description: Summon Fleaman.

Soul Advice:
Don't use this soul as your Bullet soul. Soma summons Fleamans
to start bouncing in the room and causing minimal damage to the enemies.
And the will disappear very soon.
Only good thing that I see in this soul is that, when you are in Bat Form you
Can still summon Fleamans (Read more in Soul Combo section).
Since there is so many better Bullet souls, I think this one will be one
of the less used souls.

Lv: /1
Obtained from: Devil
Type: Guardian
Location of Monster: Cursed Clocktower, Silenced Ruin, 
Demon Guest House
Rarity: **

Description: Enter a pact with the Devil to sharply raise STR.

Soul Advice:
Useful Soul.... But only when you don't have low health.
When you enter a pact with the Devil, Soma will lose 10 HP every second,
But Somas attacks will do tremendous damage while in the pact.
I recommend to use it against powerful enemies and some bosses.

49. Guillotiner Soul
Lv: /3
Obtained from: Guillotiner
Type: Bullet
Location of Monster: The Pinnacle, The Dark Chapel
Rarity: *

Description: Summon Guillotiner from hell.

Soul Advice:
Sometimes it's hard to hit with the Guillotiner. Because it appears pretty
close to Soma and strikes pretty fast. But when you manage to hit with it, it
does heavy damage. It's very useful against some bosses. And also when
exploring the Castle. Remember to use it with the Mini Devil soul (Read more
at the Soul Combo section).

50. Draghiganazzo Soul
Lv: /1
Obtained from: Draghignazzo
Type: Enchant
Location of Monster: Condemned Tower
Rarity: ***

Description: Raise resistance to flinching upon taking damage.

Soul Advice:
I have found this soul useful in all the situations.
I Highly recommend to use it if you use Maces, Axes or 2h Swords as your main
weapon. Because slow weapons like them are hard to hit with. Most of the time
when Soma raises his Axe, Mace or Claymore he gets struck and the attack 
ends. But if you have Draghiganazzo soul equipped, Soma wont flinch after
receiving an enemy attack, unless you are hit in the air. And remember that
though you don't flinch you still lose health after every hit.

51. Needles Soul
Lv: /3
Obtained from: Needles
Type: Guardian
Location of Monster: Subterranean Hell
Rarity: **

Description: Summon Needles as a familiar.

Soul Advice:
Again one of those pretty useless familiars. When soma summons needles as his
Familiar, needles attack every now and then. I haven't found this soul useful
at all. It does very minimal damage and moves slowly. Only good point it has
is to combine it with the Fish head soul(Read more at the Soul Combo section)

52. Hell Boar Soul
Lv: /1
Obtained from: Hell Boar
Type: Bullet
Location of Monster: The Lost Village, The Dark Chapel
Rarity: **

Description: Knock down enemies with power-packed uppercuts.

Soul Advice:
This soul works just like Slaughterer soul. It has a little bit more
Power, but has even less range. And I recommend to use this with
the werewolf soul, just like slaughterer soul.

With Werewolf, Soul Rate: *****

53. Bone Pillar Soul
Lv: /9
Obtained from: Bone Pillar
Type: Enchant
Location of Monster: The Dark Chapel
Rarity: ***

Description: increase CON.

Soul Advice:
This is just like Lilith, Golem and Ghost Dancer Soul.
But Ghost Dancer and Golem souls are useful, but this is like Lilith soul,
Not so useful..
Yes it does increase CON but I recommend to use some other Enchant soul than
this one. CON will just increase Somas Defense. It's not totally useless if
you level it up to 9/9, but there is much better Enchant souls than this one.

================================

54. White Dragon Soul
Lv: /3
Obtained from: White Dragon
Type: Guardian
Location of Monster: The Abyss, The Dark Chapel
Rarity: **

Description: Breathe fire.

Soul Advice:
This is just like Catublepas soul. When holding R button, Soma starts shooting
Short Range fire from his hand which does minimal damage. Catublepas soul had
a chance to petrify enemies at level 3/3 but White Dragon soul doesn't have
anything special, not even at lv.3/3, then the power just increases,
but is still low.

55. WakWak Tree Soul
Lv: /9
Obtained from: WakWak tree
Type: Enchant
Location of Monster: Garden of Madness
Rarity: **

Description: Lower STR and raise CON.

Soul Advice:
Lower ATK and raise DEF? That's not very good trade... ATK power is so much
more important than DEF. Besides there is much more better Enchant souls
to use. Though It raises CON more than Bone Pillar Soul does, because it
lowers STR.

================================

56. Imp Soul
Lv: /1
Obtained from: Imp
Type: Bullet
Location of Monster: Cursed Clocktower
Rarity: **

Description: Create space that inflicts spiritual damage.

Soul Advice:
Useless against certain enemies. When you activate this, the enemies
around you get a lower max HP. This way it doesn't take so many blows to
kill them. Useless against weak enemies, but powerful against Defensive
enemies. This soul is probably the best soul to use when fighting against
Iron Golem or Final Guard.

57. Harpy Soul
Lv: /3
Obtained from: Harpy
Type: Guardian
Location of Monster: Cursed Clocktower
Rarity: **

Description: Summon Harpie as a familiar.

Soul Advice:
This is a good familiar just like Great Armor is. Though it works a little
bit differently. When summoning Great Armor, it hits every time Soma attacks,
But when summoning Harpy, it attacks all the time. It appears like all the
other familiars, above Soma. Harpy is useful familiar against bosses.
I recommend to level it up to 3/3, as it grows more powerful and useful.

When as Valkyrie, soma looks like an angel, and as Barbariccia
Soma looks like a Demon.

Obtained from: Malachi
Type: Bullet
Location of Monster: The Abyss, Cursed Clocktower,
Demon Guest House, The Pinnacle
Rarity: **

Description: Summon a dark sphere that spew dark energy.

Soul Advice:
This is the same attack that Dimitrii uses against you, before
you use some souls power on him.
The Dark Sphere does medium damage, has medium range and moves slowly.
The slow moving is a advantage, because enemy gets stuck to the sphere
and suffer more. Pretty useful Bullet soul. Useful against many bosses.

60. Cave Troll Soul
Lv: /9
Obtained from: Cave Troll
Type: Bullet
Location of Monster: Subterranean Hell, Wizardy Lab
Rarity: *

Description: Attack by lashing out the tongue.

Soul Advice:
Soma lashes the enemies with his tongue and causing minimal damage.
The higher the souls level, longer the tongue.
There is better bullet souls than this. Damage that this soul causes is very
low, though the range is pretty good. I didn't find this soul useful in any
situation.

61. Larva Soul
Lv: /3
Obtained from: Larva
Type: Bullet
Location of Monster: Silenced Ruin
Rarity: **

Description: Summon Larva.

Soul Advice:
When Soma summons the Larva, it races through enemies and causes
medium damage to the enemies. leveling up this soul increases the damage done
by the larva and the speed of it. I found this soul useful only against weaker
enemies. If you have managed to level it up to 3/3, then it can be useful
against some of the bosses.

Obtained from: Heart Eater
Type: Enchant
Location of Monster: The Abyss, Wizardy Lab
Rarity: ***

Description: Obtain more hearts.

Soul Advice:
This souls power is simple. If you seem to have problems with mana, then this
soul can be useful. You obtain more hearts from the breakable lights...
but I wouldn't equip this soul, just to earn more hearts. There is better
souls to equip instead of this. If you have problems with mana, just break
the lamps and you will get your mana back in no time...

63. Merman Soul
Lv: /3
Obtained from: Merman
Type: Bullet
Location of Monster: Subterranean Hell, Wizardy Lab
Rarity: *

Description: Shoot a stream of water.

Soul Advice:
This soul is incredibly useless. It has medium range and minimal damage.
Even after getting it to level 3/3 it's still useless. The stream simply
does too low damage. It's useless against all the enemies (except the ones
which die from one tiny blow, like zombies and bats) and bosses.

64. Fish Head Soul
Lv: /3
Obtained from: Fish Head
Type: Buller
Location of Monster: Subterranean Hell
Rarity: **

Description: Throw Fish Head's head.

Soul Advice:
Low Range, medium damage. So yes, as a bullet soul this is also useless.
Only thing that makes it good is that it combines with needles (Read more at
the Soul Combo section). And you can cast it from air and drop the
Fish Head on the enemies... which is also good.

Lv: /1
Obtained from: Medusa Head
Type: Guardian

Rarity: ***

Description: Become capable of hovering in one location.

Soul Advice:

this soul is useful only in certain situations.
In Paranoia boss, I used the souls power to dodge the laser that Paranoia
shoots from the mirror. And it's very fun and cool to use it to make your
"Stomp" (down and B button in air) much much more powerful...
While in air use this souls power to hower and then do the stomp and it
does tremendous damage! How much longer in air the more powerful is the stomp.
But you have to practise it to do it in fights.

66. Ukoback Soul

Location of Monster: Subterranean Hell
Rarity: **

Description: Set fires.

Soul Advice:
Soma leaves fire balls for enemies to get hit by them. Just like Ukoback does.
The Fire balls do medium damage and can actually be pretty useful sometimes.
For example I have found this useful against some of the bosses.
But still there is better Bullet souls to use than this...

Rarity: **

Description: Launch torpedoes in water.

Soul Advice:
The torpedoes are actually small killer Fish's. This soul is useless on the
ground, but in water it does tremendous damage.
So yeah, use it only underwater.... and it's also useful against Rahab.

Description: Gain money when taking damage.

Soul Advice:
Need Money? Equip this soul and go get your butt kicked. Though you only
get 1$ from each hit that you receive. But if you jump on spikes you get 100$.
And if you have Gold Ring equipped, jump with this soul on spikes and get
500$. But I don't recommend to equip this when fighting against enemies and
bosses. But this soul is very good for money making.

Obtained from: Dead Pirate
Type: Enchant
Location of Monster: Subterranean hell, Cursed Clocktower
Rarity: **

Description: May cause greater damage on enemies attacked from behind.

Soul Advice:
Pretty useless against bosses and enemies which are able to turn around fast.
But if you use Puppet Master soul with this you can get easily behind your foe
and backstab them causing much more damage than normally.
Though it's sometimes hard to get behind some of the enemies.
Enemies like Iron Golem which are unable to turn around are doomed if you
use Puppet Master soul to get behind them and kill them by using this souls
power.

70. Frozen Shade Soul.
Lv: /3
Obtained from: Frozen Shade
Type: Bullet
Location of Monster: Subterranean Hell, The Abyss
Rarity: **

Description: Create a blade of ice that causes freezing.

Soul Advice:
Works almost just like Aguni soul, but looks cooler.
Soma summons ice spikes from ground which move forward and cause
High damage to the enemies. Very useful against enemies which are in ground
but useless against them which fly...
I have found this useful also against few bosses.
One of my favorite Bullet souls, pity it doesn't hit the flying enemies.

71. Homunculus Soul
Lv: /9
Obtained from: Homunculus
Type: Bullet
Location of Monster: Wizardy Lab
Rarity: *

Description: Summon Homunculus.

Soul Advice:
One of the most useless souls in the whole game. The homunculus's which Soma
summons, move slowly, cause minimal damage and disappear fast.
Useless against enemies and specially bosses. Even after getting it to level
9/9 it's still as useless as it was. I don't recommend to use it since there
is so many better Bullet souls than this.

Rarity: **

Description: Hurl a sharp-edged circular blade.

Soul Advice:
Fast, low range and medium damage.
Pretty useful soul since it can be cast from air. I highly recommend to
level it up to 2/2 because the damage will increase from medium to high.
This soul is useful against normal enemies and bosses, because it's so fast
and has pretty decent power...

Location of Monster: Subterranean Hell
Rarity: *

Description: Hurl a Decarabia

Soul Advice:
soma hurls a Decarabia on enemies, It has once again low power, though
it doesn't disappear fast like many other soul powers do... But it's still
pretty useless in boss fights or when fighting against normal enemies...
I recommend to use some other bullet soul than this. Even after level 9/9
it's as powerless than it was earlier.

Description: Summon a dog.

Soul Advice:
Works like Student witch soul (Summon Cat). But this one is more powerful.
I highly recommend to level it up to 9/9, then the dog that Soma summons
runs through enemies with high speed and does decent damage.
So, I recommend this soul more than the student witch soul.

Location of Monster: Mine of Judgement, The Pinnacle,
Cursed Clocktower
Rarity: ***

Description: Gain resistance to lightning.

Soul Advice:
I haven't used this soul much, because there isn't many enemies which have
electric powers. I used this soul only when I was fighting against
Death (Boss). Soma did take less damage from his second forms attacks.
But still, there is way much better Enchant souls than this one.

Rarity: ***

Description: Summon a skeleton to provide transportation.

Soul Advice:
You wont use this souls much. But you will need When passing the water and
spike room in subterranean Hell. And it's also very useful against bosses
to dodge their attacks. And when at low health use this soul to pass the
rooms. So, on second thought it can be quite useful.

Lv: /3
Obtained from: Gorgon
Type: Guardian
Location of Monster: Silenced Ruin
Rarity: ***

Description: Breathe a toxic gas.

Soul Advice:
Works just like Catublepas and white Dragon soul. But this soul has a slight
chance to poison the enemy. If you manage to get this souls level to 3/3
then it's much easier to poison your foes. Power and range is just like
catublepas and White Dragons soul. Once again, there is better Guardian souls

Lv: /9
Obtained from: Alura Une

Rarity: **

Description: Summon Alura Une as a Guardian.

Soul Advice:
Very useful when surrounded by enemies. When you summon Alura une, you are not
invincible but the hands (or what ever they are) of Alura une do pretty
high damage. BUT! When Soma summons Alura Une to be his guardian he becomes
unable to move... which is bad. But combining Une with this soul is very
useful.(Read more at the Soul Combo section)
Also very useful againts bosses, since the MP cost is low and the attacks do
high damage. Use the stylus to choose who to attack. At lv.9/9 Alura Une's
attacks do devastating damage.

Soul Advice:
One of the best bullet souls. The huge axe that cleaves around Soma and does
Massive damage is very useful in almost every situation. I Highly recommend

Great Axe Armor Soul is useful against normal enemies and specially in boss

Description: unleash divine energy that causes widespread damage.

Soul Advice:
Soma Summons an Angel to do massive area effect but with pretty low range.
This is very useful against bosses and normal enemies. The soul is pretty

Type: Bullet
Location of Monster: The Pinnacle, Demon Guest House, The Abyss
Rarity: **

Description: Regain HP by drinking blood.

Soul Advice:
Soma drinks enemy blood and regains health. Has short range and does medium
damage. I recommend to use this along with the persephone soul. That way
you will regain lot of health. With succubus soul something around 70 HP from
each bite and with the vacuum 2 HP every second. But the only problem is that
you have to be pretty close to the enemy.
you can also use the souls power on breakable items like: candelabras and
statues. The higher INT you have, more you will drain health.

Soul Advice:
Soma throws fast but very low powered knives at enemies.
As said, the knifes have low power but have incredible speed, specially when
combined with the skeleton Ape soul (read more at the Skeleton Ape soul 
Combo list section). The knife goes right through all the enemies and doesn't
stop at the first enemy that it gets hit by, like killer Clown soul does.
But there is much better bullet souls than this. I highly recommend

Description: Move at high speed while creating a shockwave.

Soul Advice:
Probably one of the most useful Guardian souls in the whole game.
While holding the R button and running, soma runs with incredible speed
and does minimal damage to the enemies. Pity that it wont help you much in
the main battles, but it helps you to dodge enemy attacks.
End of the game you will probably use this soul more than any other soul.

This is ability soul, just like Procel is. It helps you to move easily

I have heard many times that "Werewolf soul is useless",
but trust me it isn't. Well it is useless if you don't use it

Flame Demon Soul is probably one of the most useful souls in
the game. Fast, powerful and long range. If you manage to obtain this soul
I highly recommend to use it. it's one of the best souls to use in
soul harvesting, because most of the monsters die from 1 or 2 fire balls.
Also very useful against bosses.

93. Tanjelly Soul
Lv: /1
Obtained from: Tanjelly
Type: Enchant
Location of Monster: Cursed Clocktower, Mine of Judgement
Rarity: ***

Description: Gain resistance to physical attacks.

Soul Advice:
Something like Dead Crusader soul. But this soul reduces the damage
of physical damages but Dead Crusader soul reduces the damage of all
the attacks. I recommend Dead crusader soul than this one. Though this
reduces physical damage more than the Dead Crusader soul...

Soul Rate: ***

================================

94. Arc Demon Soul
Lv: /1
Obtained from: Arc Demon
Type: Enchant
Location of Monster: The Abyss
Rarity: ***

Description: Gain resistance to dark spells and attacks.

Soul Advice:
There isn't many Dark typed attacks or spells that enemies are able to do,
that's why i didn't find much use for this soul. There is better Enchant souls
than this one, I recommend them more than this.

Soul Rate: **

================================

95. Gaibon
Lv: /3
Obtained from: Gaibon
Type: Guardian
Location of Monster: Mine of Judgement
Rarity: **

Description: Summon Gaibon as a familiar.

Soul Advice:
Actually this is pretty useful Familiar. It does decent damage and attacks
every once in a while and it looks cool. But has annoying sound.
And remember to Combine this soul with Slogra's Soul.(Read more at the 
Soul Combo section). Though I prefer Great Armor and Harpy soul more than
this one. And I recommend to level this soul up to 3/3 if you really like to
use gaibon as a familiar.

Soul Rate: ***

================================

96. Slogra Soul
Lv: /9
Obtained from: Slogra
Type: Bullet
Location of Monster: Mine of Judgement
Rarity: *

Description: Throw spears.

Soul Advice:
Soma throws a piercing spear which does medium damage and has good speed.
You can combine this soul with Gaibon, Skeleton Ape or even with both of them.
(Read more at the Soul Combo section)
This soul is better than you think if you know how to use it right, But there
still is better bullet souls than this to use.

Soul Rate: ***

================================

97. Stolas Soul
Lv: /9
Obtained from: Stolas
Type: Enchant
Location of Monster: The Abyss
Rarity: ***

Description: Raise INT and lower STR.

Soul Advice:
When you equip this soul, your INT raise and STR lower, Which I don't prefer.
It means that your spells do more and attacks less. Of course it's just about
how you like it, but I don't recommend it, because spells take mana, but
attcks don't take anything. And when your out of mana, you have hard time
to kill the enemies... Anyway the choice is yours. If you have high MP or
Chaos Ring, then I prefer this.

Soul Rate: ****

================================

98. Final Guard Soul
Lv: /1
Obtained from: Final Guard
Type: Guardian
Location of Monster: The Abyss, The Pinnacle
Rarity: ***

Description: Gain iron-clad defense.

Soul Advice:
One of those "Hard to Obtain" souls, but it is worth it, The shield that
Soma casts from his hand nothing goes through it. And you will need this soul
to upgrade your weapons... so I recommend to try obtaining it.
I didn't actually find this soul very useful against bosses, but when fighting
against normal enemies in the castle it's very useful to protect your self
from enemy attacks... Just practice to use it.

Soul Rate: ****

================================

99. Malacoda Soul
Lv: /1
Obtained from: Malacoda
Type: Bullet
Location of Monster: The Abyss
Rarity: **

Description: Attack with a tail

Soul Advice:
This is very powerful bullet soul. Soma lashes the enemies around him with
a giant tail causing massive damage to them. It has pretty decent range too.
Useful against bosses and against normal enemies. Since it can't be leveled
up, you don't need to worry about the levels. Instead just lash the hell out
of the enemies!

Soul Rate: *****

================================

100. Alastor Soul
Lv: /3
Obtained from: Alastor
Type: Guardian
Location of Monster: The Abyss, The Pinnacle
Rarity: **

Description: Summon Alastor as a familiar.

Soul Advice:
Pretty good familiar, something in same lines as Gaibon.
Attacks every once in a while (which means often) with a medium power and
speed. It can't be combined with any other soul, but it's still very
useful alone. I still recommend Great Armor more than this as a familiar.
And if you really like to use Alastrol as your familiar I highly recommend
to level it up to 3/3.

Soul Rate: ***

================================

101. Iron Golem Soul
Lv: /1
Obtained from: Iron Golem
Type: Guardian
Location of Monster: Demon Guest House, The Abyss,
Wizardy Lab
Rarity: ***

Description: Transform into an invincible Iron Golem.

Soul Advice:
This is one of the Funniest souls ever! It gives you the power to turn into
an Iron Golem. It takes lot of MP but if you have Chaos Ring equipped then it
doesn't take MP at all (thanks to the regeneration power of chaos ring).
As an Iron Golem, you are invincible and slow but powerful, and also unable
to jump. So think before transforming into one. I don't think this soul is
meant to be used against bosses, mostly just for fun...

Soul Rate: ****

================================

102. Flying Armor Soul (Boss)
Lv: /1
Obtained from: Flying Armor
Type: Guardian
Location of Monster: The Lost Village

Description: Reduce the speed of falling.

Soul Advice:
Flying Armor appears behind Soma and makes soma fall slower.
You will use this soul until you get double jump.
After obtaining Double Jump this soul will be forgotten very fast.
But before Double Jump you will need this souls power many times.

Soul Rate: ***

Description: Touch the touch screen to shatter certain blocks.

Soul Advice:
Ability soul, like many of the boss souls are.

Useless in fights but needed to get to certain places and forward
in the castle. Near the end of the game you don't need to break ice
ever again.

Soul Rate: ***

104. Malphas Soul (Boss)
Lv: /1
Obtained from: Malphas
Type: Ability
Location of Monster: The Dark Chapel

Lv: /1
Obtained from: Puppet Master
Type: Bullet

pretty handy.

Lv: /1
Obtained from: Rahab

Soul Rate: *****

================================

109. Gergoth Soul (Boss)
Lv: /1
Obtained from: Gergoth
Type: Guardian
Location of Monster: Condemned Tower

Description: Fire devastating laser beam.

Soul Advice:
Fast, Low Damage, long range and cool looking. Soma shoots white fat laser
from his hand. It hits all the enemies on the ground. Pity it has so low
power :(
But still it's pretty useful in certain situations. Fun to use against normal
enemies, but I don't recommend it against Bosses.

Soul Rate: ***

================================

110. Zephyr Soul (Boss)
Lv: /1
Obtained from: Zephyr
Type: Bullet
Location of Monster: Cursed Clocktower

in Silenced Ruin. In every other way, it's totally useless in combat.

================================

111. Bat Company Soul (Boss)
Lv: /1
Obtained from: Bat Company
Type: Guardian
Location of Monster: Silenced Ruin

Description: Transform into a bat and fly.

Soul Advice:
Soma transforms into a bat and flies. needed in many situations and even
against few bosses. When fighting against Paranoia, this soul comes handy
to dodge the lasers from the mirrors. As a bat you can explore places which
you normally can't.
And remember to combine this soul with Fleaman and flame demon soul.
(Read more at the Soul Combo section)

Description: Summon the Grim Reaper's scythe to attack enemies.

Soul Advice:
Scythes start appearing everywhere and hit the enemy causing
medium damage. Very useful against bosses and normal enemies.
Probably one of the most used Guardian souls.
I recommend it on every boss fight.

Soul Rate: *****

================================

115. Abaddon Soul (Boss)
Lv: /1
Obtained from: Abaddon
Type: Bullet
Location of Monster: The Abyss

Description: Summon a cloud of locusts to swarm foes.

Soul Advice:
Pack of locusts attack the enemy causing high damage.
VERY useful against Bosses and also normal enemies.
It can be also cast from the air which is one of the best things of this soul.
And by using stylus you can command the locusts to tend flying where your
pointing.

Soul Rate: *****

================================

Hell Fire Soul 
Lv: /1
Obtained from: Beat the Game + with hard
Type: Bullet

Description: Fire 3 fireballs at the enemy.

Soul Advice:
Soma shoots 3 small fire balls which cause high damage. Same attack that
Alucard has in julius mode. I don't recommend this soul against bosses,
Since there is so many better bullet souls to use against them.
It can be obtained after beating the new game + with hard.
cast time of this soul is a bit slow...and it can't be casted from air like
flame demon soul...

================================

Hippogryph Soul
Lv: /1
Obtained from: The Abyss
Type: Ability

Description: Press Up + L button to jump higher,

Soul Advice:
Soma jumps to the roof. Replaces the Bat Company soul in many situations.
Pity it's obtained so late.
I recommend to use it when at low damage and the enemy is just going to
hit you, just jump to the roof by using this ability and dodging the enemy
attack(s). This ability can be very handy sometime. Learn to use it.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

I hope this list will help you in the game.
Hippogryph Soul and Doppelganger Soul are breakable items in the game.
so they're not enemies.
And you can command Familiars to attack certain enemy by pointing at it
with your stylus.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
5.Soul Combos
-------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't know all the soul combos yet, But I will put here
all that I know.

----------------------
What are Soul Combos?
----------------------
they are simply combo of 2 souls.
So that if you mix up 2 right souls together,
the power of the souls will work a bit differently.
some combos work with 3 souls.

Soul Combo List.

Soul combos which work only with Werewolf soul.
I recommend trying these out because it's extremely fun.
The following soul combos are pretty tricky to use:
hold R to start activating the Werewolf soul and don't let go. While still
holding R, hold up on the d-pad and start pressing the Y button as fast as you
can.
They don't need any description. You must see it to realize what happens.
