Including Great Soul Essence.
If you don’t know how to get Soul Essence in VV Ultimatum, or Great Soul Essence, I’ve made sure to cover both in this guide. While Soul Essence helps you to stock up on Soul Tokens in VV Ultimatum, it’s also a required material in some crafting recipes.
For those playing as a Hollow, take a look at one of my other guides, which goes over all of the VV Ultimatum Hollow Traits.
Soul Essence is an Uncommon rarity consumable in VV Ultimatum. Whilst having a major use in crafting recipes, you can also consume them to gain Soul Tokens.
Regular Soul Essence grants around 25 to 35 Soul Tokens; however, I recommend selling Soul Essence rather than consuming them. This is because selling Soul Essence grants you a guaranteed total of 35 Soul Tokens, meaning you get the maximum amount.
While it’s used in crafting recipes, a major use of Soul Essence is to swap it for Soul Tokens, an important currency in VV Ultimatum. Additionally, you can trade Soul Essence with other players. Joining the game’s official Discord server is the easiest way to find trading requests.
Great Soul Essence is a stronger variant, which, upon consuming, grants around 150 Soul Tokens. But, like the regular Soul Essence, I recommend selling Great Soul Essence because it guarantees 175 Soul Tokens.
Again, Great Soul Essence is a requirement in some crafting recipes.
To obtain Soul Essence, you need to defeat enemy mobs and bosses, though they have a rare drop chance. They also have a chance to appear in chests. The main difference between the two is that you can craft Great Soul Essence. To do this, you need 5x Soul Essence.
Great Soul Essence can be dropped by Hollows that reside within the Outskirts. The best quests to work through when it comes to getting Soul Essence and Soul Tokens are the main story quests, as well as daily quests and those for factions.
The Arctic Plains is one of the best areas to farm enemies, as this location features a higher number of mobs altogether. However, the enemies in this location can be tricky at times, so make sure your character is strong enough.
As mentioned, both types of Soul Essence are included in some crafting recipes. The amount you need depends on the recipe itself. Here are all the crafting recipes I’ve found so far that require Soul Essence and Great Soul Essence:
Wipes your character.
This item is craftable after reaching level 13. Spirit Alloy is a material required in crafting recipes, but also unlocks the Marsh. You can also get Spirit Alloy from a merchant in Arctic Town.
Frost Alloy is a required item for Quincy progression, specifically to craft the Sanrei Glove.
