The Soul's Offering project in ARC Raiders combines scavenging, crafting, and a final set of objectives. The biggest time sink is finding specific trinkets and materials scattered across different areas, especially when random loot spawns force you to search more buildings than expected. Our team recommends starting with locations that can yield several required items, then visiting specialized spots only for the materials you still need. If you are preparing your loadout before heading out, reviewing your available ARC Raiders Items can also help you decide what to carry and what to leave behind.
The Old Town on Pendola Pass is a strong starting area because several project materials appeared during the search. It also identifies useful alternatives, including a medical cabin, industrial lockers, Storm Huts, and the waterside area of Riven Tides. These are practical search leads, not guaranteed spawns, so treat each raid as a chance to fill specific gaps rather than expecting every item to appear in one run.
Check the Project Requirements Before Deploying
Start Soul's Offering and review the full list of requested materials and objectives in the project interface. This prevents you from spending time collecting items you already have—or overlooking a requirement that needs crafting or combat instead of ordinary scavenging.
| Required item or objective | Best lead from the gameplay run | Search advice |
|---|---|---|
| Withered Flowers | Old Town; drawers were productive during the run | Check drawers and nearby surfaces |
| Rock Salt | Old Town | Search residential loot containers |
| Fancy Dish | Old Town; also found on tables and the floor | Inspect surfaces as well as containers |
| Railway Lantern | Industrial-style lockers in the supermarket area | Prioritize the specific locker room rather than the entire supermarket |
| Mask Fragment | A tabletop near the Railway Yard area; Old Town may also be worth checking | Inspect surfaces and small containers |
| Insulation Roll | Storm Huts on Pendola Pass | Check the huts when the relevant storm condition is active |
| Fertilizer | Waterside area of Riven Tides | Search around the water and nearby loot spots |
| Expired Respirator | Medical cabin on Pendola Pass | Check the cabin's available containers and floor loot |
| Advanced ARC Power Cells | Certain ARC enemies encountered during the run | Consider combat as an alternative to searching containers |
| Remote Radar Flares | Craft them if you have the blueprint; radar containers are another possible source | Crafting may be more predictable if materials and the blueprint are available |
Four Withered Flowers and ten Remote Radar Flares are among the project requirements.
Start With Old Town on Pendola Pass
Old Town is the most useful first stop in the recorded run. The player finds several needed items there, including Withered Flowers, Rock Salt, and Fancy Dishes. Rather than searching every building at random, concentrate on residential interiors and work through containers systematically.
What to Search
- Drawers and cabinets: These are worth prioritizing when looking for small trinkets. The player repeatedly checks them and finds several useful items during the run.
- Tables and furniture: Do not assume every required item is inside a container. Fancy Dishes and a Mask Fragment appear on surfaces during the footage.
- Floor loot: Check the floor and corners of rooms before leaving. At least one Fancy Dish is found outside a container.
- Nearby buildings: Move between buildings in a consistent loop and avoid repeatedly checking the same rooms unless you have a reason to return.
The key is to search for the materials you still need, not to collect every valuable item you see.
Our team recommends starting with Old Town, collecting the project materials found along the way, and then visiting specialized locations only for the items still missing. The goal is to complete the project efficiently, not to collect every valuable item in sight.
Visit Specialized Locations for Missing Materials
Once you have searched Old Town, check your remaining requirements and visit only the locations that address those gaps. This is more efficient than fully looting every landmark regardless of what you need.
Supermarket: Railway Lanterns
The Railway Lanterns are in industrial-style lockers around a particular supermarket room. The player also checks drawers and kitchen cabinets nearby, but advises against spending too much time searching the entire supermarket.
Use this as a targeted stop: inspect the relevant lockers and nearby containers, then move on if you have found what you need or the area is not producing useful loot.
Medical Cabin: Expired Respirator and Withered Flowers
A small medical cabin on Pendola Pass is highlighted as a possible source of the Expired Respirator. We found several Withered Flowers in drawers around this location.
Check both containers and loose items, including tables and the floor.
Storm Huts: Insulation Roll
Storm Huts on Pendola Pass are the recommended search location for the Insulation Roll. The player advises checking these huts when a storm is active on Pendola.
If you still need this item, prioritize the huts rather than continuing to search unrelated residential containers.
Riven Tides: Fertilizer
The player finds Fertilizer around the waterside area of Riven Tides and mentions other possible locations, including certain key-access areas and domes. Those alternatives are presented as possibilities rather than fully verified routes.
Start with the waterside area if Fertilizer is missing from your inventory. If the search is unsuccessful, consider another known loot area rather than repeatedly clearing the same containers.
Use Crafting and Combat to Avoid Unnecessary Searching
Not every requirement needs to be completed through ordinary scavenging.
Craft Remote Radar Flares
The project requires ten Remote Radar Flares. If you have the blueprint and the necessary crafting materials, making them is a straightforward option.
Before deploying, check whether you already have the blueprint and enough resources. If you do, crafting can remove the need to hunt for all ten flares during a raid.
Farm Advanced ARC Power Cells
The player obtains Advanced ARC Power Cells by fighting specific ARC enemies and reports finding them from other ARC units as well. This makes combat another potential route for filling the project requirement.
But we do not establish a universal drop guarantee for every enemy. Treat these encounters as a targeted farming option rather than a fixed-reward method, and weigh the time and risk of combat against the materials you still need.
Manage Your Backpack Around Project Items
A common problem in the recorded run is limited carrying capacity. The player repeatedly finds valuable blueprints and other loot but has to leave some behind to make room for quest materials.
Our team recommends checking your remaining project requirements before each deployment. Carry only the equipment you need for the planned route, prioritize required materials over unrelated loot, and secure rare quest items when possible. The fastest run is not necessarily the one with the most loot—it is the one that brings back the items needed to advance the project.
Complete the ARC Damage and Fireworks Objectives
After collecting the required materials, the project still has combat and fireworks objectives.
Deal ARC Damage Inside the Required Area
We initially test whether damage dealt outside the houses will count, then move into the designated area and confirm that damage to ARC enemies advances the objective. The practical lesson is to check the project counter while fighting.
- Enter the Santa Maria houses area before working on the damage requirement.
- Engage ARC enemies in or around the designated buildings.
- Check the objective counter after dealing damage.
- Continue until the required total is reached rather than relying on damage dealt elsewhere.
Damage from nearby ARC encounters contributes once the player is in the relevant area.
Buy and Use the Fireworks Box
The player purchases fireworks from Shani before heading to the final area and reports being able to buy up to three boxes.
Before leaving, check whether you have the required fireworks item. Once at the designated rooftop area, use it and verify that the objective registers. But players should follow the current in-game instructions if the interaction or location differs.
Summary
The most practical approach to Soul's Offering is to start in Old Town on Pendola Pass, where several required trinkets were found during the recorded run, then visit specialized locations for missing items. Search drawers, industrial lockers, tables, and floor loot instead of checking containers indiscriminately. Use crafting for Remote Radar Flares when possible, consider combat for Advanced ARC Power Cells, and manage backpack space around the materials you still need. Before the final run, review your remaining requirements and check the available ARC Raiders Loot options to help plan your next scavenging trip.
FAQ
Is Old Town the best place to start Soul's Offering?
It is a strong starting point, which has several required materials. However, item spawns are not guaranteed, so you may need to visit other locations to finish the collection.
Where can I find Railway Lanterns?
The Railway Lanterns are in industrial-style lockers in a specific supermarket room. Search those lockers first instead of spending time clearing the entire supermarket.
Can I craft the Remote Radar Flares?
We recommend crafting the ten required Remote Radar Flares if you have the blueprint and necessary materials. Radar containers are also mentioned as a possible source.
How do I finish the final objectives?
Work toward the required ARC damage inside the Santa Maria houses area, checking the project counter as you fight. Then use the required fireworks item at the designated rooftop location and confirm that the project registers as complete.
