- Dynamic Indicators: Color transitions smoothly from 🟢 Green to 🟡 Yellow to 🔴 Red as health drops.
- Passive Recovery: Unequipped souls resting in your inventory heal 1 HP every 30 seconds.
- Smithing Requirement: The Soul Smithing Table requires the soul to be at 100% health before upgrading.
- ⚠️ Critical Warning: If your companion's health reaches 0, the soul dies and the item is destroyed permanently!
👹 Soul Keepers & Soul Shards
In the depths of the Soul Sand Valley, mysterious Soul Keepers roam the foggy wasteland. Defeat these formidable spirits to obtain Soul Shards—a rare material essential for crafting and upgrading Ghast Souls!
