The Soul is an artifact that can be found in all three S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games.
Appearances
Shadow of Chernobyl
Description
Very rarely found artifact, located near the Whirligig anomaly. Only a very few manage to find this artifact, and few have even seen it. It has a nice shape and an equally nice price.
― In-game description
The Soul increases health regeneration by a heavy +600%, allowing the player to easily recover health, especially when the player combines this with suits like the Ghost suit. However, the Soul decreases overall hit protection by 10%, which can be countered by heavy suits and is more or less negated by the higher health regeneration.
Acquisition
This artifact can be found near a Bandits camp in the Garbage. Past the Vehicle graveyard, there is an alcove full of powerful Vortex/Whirly anomalies. Go up the highly radioactive hill on the left and come around on the other side to pick up the soul. The player will need to use anti-rads due to the area being irradiated.
One or more of these artifacts may spawn in the Dark Valley, one can spawn in Lab X-18, and one or more can spawn in Pripyat in the monument near the Palace of Culture square, all of these being random spawns. Another has the chance to be found in a secret stash located in Yantar.
Clear Sky
Description
A unique organic artifact with properties just as unique. Somehow it increases the body's overall recovery rate. Thanks to its reasonable price and an attractive appearance, this artifact is a valuable collector's item. Emits radiation.
― In-game description
The Soul returns in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky, increasing health regeneration by a light +2, but radiation by +2 as well. The granted bonus is nearly insignificant, making the artifact better traded than used.
Acquisition
Souls are now spawned by Gas anomalies or Whirligig anomalies. There are no fixed spawns for Souls as they all may or may not appear when scanning Gas or Whirligig anomalies.
Call of Pripyat
Description
A unique organic artifact with properties just as unique. Somehow it increases the body's overall recovery rate from damage of any kind, without accelerating the accumulation of toxins. Thanks to its effects and attractive appearance, this artifact is a valuable collector's item. Emits radiation.
― In-game description
The Soul returns in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat, identical to its Clear Sky counterpart, meaning one could sell it rather than using it.
Acquisition
The Soul is a common sight in chemical anomalies. The Soul is a default spawn in the Quarry and Concrete Bath anomalies in Yanov. The Soul is part of Snag's loot in the Unreachable Stash and can be obtained by either having Cardan open the box or give Snag the box and ask to take the Soul - if Snag kept the Soul for himself the player will have a second opportunity to obtain it during the Theft mission, in Snag's stash. Souls are commonly sold by Beard after completing Beard's side of the Compass mission.
