Stranded Souls

Stranded Souls are the pale, stationary spirits found near graves, ruins and story landmarks. Most provide local history or a hint rather than a continuing quest.

Locations and access

Stranded Graveyard ledge

Limgrave · Opening tutorial spirit

Starting Site of Grace: Stranded Graveyard

  1. After waking in the Stranded Graveyard, look beside the lower pit before taking the lift outside. Speak to the seated spirit for the hint about the Cave of Knowledge.
  2. The tutorial is reached by dropping into the lower opening. The lift route leads out to the First Step instead.

Lower room beyond Godrick’s throne

Limgrave · Stormveil exit spirit

Starting Site of Grace: Lake-Facing Cliffs

  1. From Lake-Facing Cliffs, enter Stormveil’s northern exit chamber. Find the spirit near the lower room’s Shabriri Grape pickup.

Tower beyond Commander Niall

Mountaintops of the Giants · Castle Sol rooftop spirit

Starting Site of Grace: Castle Sol Rooftop

  1. After Commander Niall, use the exit behind his arena and ride the tower lift. Check the seated spirit on the roof beside Haligtree Secret Medallion (Left).

Quest steps

Quest steps can include different outcomes. Read the branch, conditions and cutoffs before making a choice.

  1. Read the local dialogue

    Branch: Main quest

    Use the talk interaction and finish the spirit’s text. If it refers to a nearby object, inspect that object separately rather than attacking the speaker.

Notes

  • This entry covers the ambient spirit type with selected useful meeting points. It is not an individual quest for every ghost in the world.
  • Their unvoiced dialogue is still readable through the normal interaction prompt.
  • Nearby items are separate pickups. Talking to a spirit about the medallion does not collect it for you.
  • Painter spirits, the Volcano Manor apparition and named quest spirits have distinct interactions and are covered separately.
  • These spirits are not the same as hostile spectral soldiers or Spirit Ash summons.
  • Do not invent a reward or a resurrection branch for a ghost whose role is only to explain the surrounding scene.
