Soul | Strategy guide Risen 3 Guide

Most of the time you will change your Soul during a conversation with the NPC's.

One of the novelties of the Risen series introduced in Risen 3 is the built-in morality (or karma) system which is represented by gathered by your hero Souls. At the beginning of the game the Nameless Hero has the neutral status of 50 Souls. Helping others and showing towards them positive attitude in specific situations (almost exclusively limited to conversation scenes) will allow you to get bonus Souls (with the limit of 100 Souls). However being harsh and following the aggressive attitude towards others will end up with losing your Souls (although you can't fall below 0 Souls).

Soul system is not really related with any important consequences and will not affect how the newly met NPC's will behave towards your hero. The only important difference is the fact that after reaching high amount of Souls Mendoza may decide to separate from your team, from the other hand - after losing a huge amount of Souls you may be left by Edward. If you don't want to lose any of these allies nor you don't want to fail quests they may offer then you should keep your Souls in balance, don't neither loose them too much, nor collect them. Try to keep your score between 30 and 70 Souls.

Remember! If you will accidentally gain or lose to many Souls and you don't want to be abandoned by Mendoza nor Edward, you should avoid any sort of contact with them until you will change the amount of your Souls to preferable level.
