When an ally goes down in battle, you’ll need to act fast.

First, locate their body and remove their chest armor to reveal the Soul Heart within. Once obtained, equip this heart with your utility bar and move on to the next step.

Using a Soul Heart

  • Find an Altar of Sacrifice, commonly located in lower dungeon levels
  • Interact with the Altar while carrying your ally’s Soul Heart
  • Sacrifice a portion of your own health to perform the resurrection ritual
  • Ensure you are not interrupted or take damage during the ritual

Revived allies emerge with low HP and no equipment, so be prepared to protect them immediately. Additionally, if a Soul Heart is taken from a body, only the altar can revive that player – your party’s Cleric is powerless.
