The Soul of a Nameless Soldier is a consumable soul item in Dark Souls III.

In-Game Description

Soul found in the corpse of a nameless soldier.
Use to acquire souls.
Let the Fire Keeper transform this sovereignless soul into a source of strength, for to be Unkindled is to be a vessel for souls.


Availability[]

A minimum of nine are guaranteed to be obtained by the player in each playthrough.

  • One is granted to the player at the start of the game by choosing the "Sovereignless Soul" burial gift.
  • Undead Settlement
  • Farron Keep
  • Cathedral of the Deep
    • On the rooftops portion of the exterior of the cathedral, there is a small side structure after navigating the flying buttresses that is patrolled by a large number of Thralls. Inside of the structure is a corpse holding the soul, though additional Thralls lie in ambush.
    • In the interior of the cathedral, there is a path after the first shortcut back to the Cleansing Chapel that is guarded by a large Giant Slave. One of the corpses along this route holds the item.
    • On the bottom floor of the cathedral interior, within the sludge at the feet of the first Giant Slave. A corpse beneath the Giant Slave and near to the large double doors holds the consumable.
  • Catacombs of Carthus
    • At the bottom of the ladder in the first section of the tomb, a corpse sitting against a wall holds the item.
    • A lone pathway to the right after some stairs past the initial bridge is guarded by two headless skeletons. Beyond these two skeletons is a corpse holding the soul consumable.
  • Grand Archives
    • Held by a corpse within the dark room after the first wax pool, against some bookshelves against the back wall and protected by Clawed Curses.
  • Archdragon Peak

Notes[]

Trivia[]

  • This is the only burial gift that has a different name than the actual item given at the beginning of the game. Its description reads: "The sovereignless soul of one who slept beside you. Use to acquire many souls." However, once the game starts, the player will have a Soul of a Nameless Soldier in their inventory.
