Unlocking Lost Souls
The Lost Souls are a great addition thatadds some time to the overall length of the game. Players can unlock the lost souls by opening the blue chest in the Entrance Hall. Take the right staircase all the way down; a chest should be at the bottom. This will give players their first soul and unlock the others. After a new soul is obtained or aid to rest, players will have to finish that level to keep it.
1. Fisherman Formes
The first lost soul is named Fisherman Formes and is found in the Entrance Hall, in that treasure chest mentioned above.
The rest location is in the Sleeping Village. Once inside the Village, head right to the lake. At the lake, players should get a prompt to push the Touch Pad. This will start the laying to rest process and will spawn a bunch of creatures to defeat. Once they are all dead, the soul will rest. This location looks absolutely stunning with itsupdated 4k graphics.
2. Brute Bruty
The Graveyard houses the second soul. It will be on the right side of the Graveyard before players collect the first rune. The rest location is Scarecrow Fields. After the area with the mechs, players will come across a windmill near the entrance of the gauntlet. The prompt to lay the soul is at the entrance of the gauntlet. Defeat the sped up gauntlet, and Burty is ready to rest.
3. Ye Olde Olivara
This one is in Cemetery Hill; it’s located in the starting area to the left. Bring Olivara’s soul to the Return to the Graveyard. Players will have to defeat the Stained Glass Demonfrom the original demoto get the key for the Skull Gate in the Return to the Graveyard first.
After the gate is open, there will be a yellow rune. Place the soul in the same spot as the yellow rune, spawning some hand enemies that players will have to crush with a club or hammer. Once the enemies are dead, the soul will finally be at rest.
4. Baffy the Baffler
Baffy is located in the Hilltop Mausoleum. At the beginning of the stage, head to the right. The soul should be at the end of the corridor before the drop down to the basement.
The resting place in the circle on the ground in the first part of the Asylum Grounds. Stand in the center of the circle and use the touch pad to spawn some enemies called Rhinotaurs throughout the whole level. Once all five of the enemies are dead, the soul will be at peace.

He wishes to be laid to rest at the Pumpkin Serpent, but first players will have to defeat the boss. Once the Pumpkin King is defeated, look for the rake just next to the boss area and use the touch pad. Kill the enemies that spawn, and Peter is happy.
