Soul Altar

The Soul Altar is currently not in the game, but it is confirmed that there is one somewhere, as in the Abyss there is a soul rift that players cannot enter. The Wicked Hood also has a soul altar option, but when chosen, it simply states that the altar is undiscovered.

Currently, the only way to craft soul runes is by utilising the Ourania altar. Attempting to enter the Soul rift in the Abyss will result in the message, "A strange power blocks your entrance". Numerous rumours have spread concerning the Soul Altar's release, although no proof exists for any of them at this time.

There was a recent update that allowed for players to travel to the spirit realm, which is a world for lost souls. There is a portal behind the Wizard's tower, which appears as a tear in the fabric of time and is guarded by a Master of the magical arts named Wizard Arkana. He will explain that he is a master of manipulating elemental energies, especially those of shadow and spirit from within the spirit realm, and that he was pulled into this realm when many souls refused to suffer eternity in the spirit realm and found a way to break through and return to travel among the living as they once were.

He will ask that you assist him in the retrieval of these "lost souls" and safely guide them back to the portal so he can confine them to the realm of spirits where they belong. There are about 3 spirits to capture to start with, which are all scattered to various locations. Simply ask him where to locate the souls so that you can return them to him, and this is when he will present to you the "Soul Talisman". He then explains that naturally, the talisman is designed to locate the Soul Altar within the spirit realm, but he adjusts the tracking frequencies of it for you temporarily so that you can use it to track the "Lost Souls".

The spirits are never in the same locations for each player. Also, some of the "Lost Souls" still have the ability to teleport to various locations that they once visited in thier past life without the use of any teleportation runes or tablets or other conventional methods, so it will be a bit tricky to track them each down, but do not be discouraged. With the help of the "Tuned" Soul Talisman that Wizard Arkana will give you, it should not take long to track and capture the souls and return them to him.

At this point, this is the most amount of information relevant and released to us, but many sources reveal that Wizard Arkana will make things easier to understand when you find and talk to him Behind the Wizard Tower, although some sources offer the information that the Wizard may also be located in various locaitons, including the very Top Floor of the Magic Guild in Yanille, inside the Runecrafting Guild, or even near one of the many other elemental altars, as he is offering his best efforts to locate the "Lost Souls" and return them to the spirit realm as well. So you will probably need the Wicked Hood for up to two teleports to various rune altars to investigate the location of the Wizard to begin helping him. You can use a Ring of Duelling (8) or (1) to teleport to the entrace of the Duel Arena in AL Kharid in order to search the Fire Altar, and use home teleport spells for locations such as Varrock or Lumbridge which are each close enough to run to the Air or Water altars. The Air altar is just slightly SouthWest of Gertrude's House outside of Varrock, and the Water Altar is in the Lumbridge Swamps just slightly SouthWest of the Shed used to teleport to Zanaris. This is also useful if you have a Dramen Staff with you, so that you can enter the shed and search through Zanaris until you reach the Cosmic Altar to investigate it for any "Lost Souls". You can also use a Varrock Teleport and run NorthEast to locate the Earth Altar just slightly SouthEast of the Lumberyard near the entrance gates to Morytania to the East. Also, after investigating the Earth Altar there, players who have completed the "What Lies Below", and "Hunt for Surok Magis" Quest and Mini-Quest, will be able to enter the Statue of Saradomin just slightly Northwest of the Earth Altar, and reach the Chaos Altar inside the tunnels to investigate it as well. Player's can use an Amulet of Glory to teleport to Karamja and run all the way through the dense jungle to reach the Nature Altar. Keep in mind that player who have no yet discovered or unlocked many of the higher level Elemental Altars may still be required to investigate thier locations even if they do not have the Runecrafting level to use them. An Omni-talisman would be extremely helpful as it will allow a player access to enter any of the Elemental Altars to investigate them. Also, players may need a 'Ring of Visibility' to help make tracking the "Lost Souls" Easier, and after players have completed the Quest which rewards them with this ring, It is possible to recieve one from Wizard Arkana if they do not still have thier original ring in thier bank. It will not be necessary to use a Ghostspeak Amulet, however, as these are not quite the same as other typical ghosts, and unfortunately they will not have the ability to speak to you if you attempt to communicate. Instead each "Lost Soul" will simply give a rebellious refusal to cooperate with you, although they really have no choice once you have located them. Wizard Arkana will instruct you to try to "Use" your "Tuned" Soul Talisman on the "Lost Soul" in order to absorb it. Once you have collected all of the "Lost Souls" it will begin to glow and automatically teleport you back to the location of Wizard Arkana where you first spoke to him.
