The Soul's Offering event sends us across several maps in search of specific loot, and some materials take more time to track down than others. Our best approach is to focus on the right buildings and containers instead of searching every area at random. This guide covers Dead Flowers, Rock Salt, Railway Lanterns, Fancy Plates, and Mask Fragments, with practical locations to check first.
If you're still missing a few pieces, start with the areas that match each item's likely loot pool. Residential buildings are worth checking for Dead Flowers, kitchens are our first stop for Rock Salt, and Pendola Pass is a strong option for Fancy Plates and Mask Fragments. We'll also cover the other event materials so you can plan your runs around the loot you still need, rather than collecting everything blindly. Keeping track of your missing ARC Raiders Items can help you focus each run.
Quick Locations for All Five Materials
Use this table as a starting point. These are practical search recommendations based on finds, not guaranteed spawn locations.
| Material | Recommended Location | What to Search |
|---|---|---|
| Dead Flowers | Residential areas, including Spaceport and Pendola Pass | Residential loot containers and nearby buildings |
| Rock Salt | Residential buildings on Dam Battlegrounds; kitchens in Pendola Pass | Kitchen cabinets and cupboards |
| Railway Lantern | Rail Yard | Green lockers, administrative buildings, metal containers, and trains |
| Fancy Plate | Old Town, Pendola Pass | Trinket-rich loot areas |
| Mask Fragment | Old Town, Pendola Pass | Trinket-rich loot areas |
Our best approach is to focus on the right buildings and containers instead of searching every area at random. Treat these locations as practical starting points, not guaranteed spawn locations.
Where to Find Dead Flowers, Fancy Plates, and Mask Fragments
Dead Flowers: Search Residential Loot
Dead Flowers can be frustrating to find, so we recommend checking residential loot instead of restricting your search to Pendola Pass. The original run found them around Spaceport, including the Departure area and a building described as the "rival" building.
Pendola Pass is still worth visiting, especially if you need several event materials in one run. The key is to search residential containers consistently rather than relying on a single building or map.
Fancy Plates and Mask Fragments: Start in Old Town
For Fancy Plates and Mask Fragments, Old Town on Pendola Pass was the most productive area.
We would prioritize Old Town when these two materials are your main targets, then check nearby residential loot for other useful finds.
Where to Find Railway Lanterns and Rock Salt
Railway Lantern: Check Lockers, Buildings, and Trains
Railway Lanterns were found around the rail yard. Start with the green lockers, then move into the building containing administrative or staff-related areas. Search other containers as well: the player found a lantern inside a metal container.
Another player found lanterns loose in the environment or inside a suitcase on a train. That makes train interiors worth checking during your Rail Yard run, although these additional locations are community reports rather than confirmed universal spawns.
The player also suspected Railway Lanterns might appear in other mechanical or industrial areas. We would treat that as a lead to test, not a proven rule. If you're short on time, begin at Rail Yard before branching out.
Rock Salt: Prioritize Kitchen Cabinets
Kitchen cabinets were the most reliable place for Rock Salt. On Dam Battlegrounds, the Pale Apartments and Ruby Residence were suggested as residential areas with kitchens. Pendola Pass's Old Town also has plenty of kitchens to search.
| Search Priority | Area | Reason to Check |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Kitchen cabinets and cupboards | Rock Salt is found here most often |
| 2 | Pale Apartments and Ruby Residence, Dam Battlegrounds | Residential buildings with kitchens |
| 3 | Old Town, Pendola Pass | Another area with multiple kitchens |
Search the cabinets before spending time clearing unrelated containers. It won't guarantee Rock Salt, but it gives each run a clear priority.
How to Get Fertilizer, Expired Respirators, and Raider Flares
The remaining materials have more direct acquisition routes in the original guide.
| Material | Suggested Source | Practical Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Fertilizer | Domes on Dam Battlegrounds; Village on Blue Gate | Look for tub-like containers that can be harvested |
| Expired Respirator | Hospital in Buried City; Stella Montis medical areas | Start with these larger medical locations before checking smaller medical rooms |
| Raider Flares | Crafting or trading | Check crafting availability and the relevant blueprint before relying on a purchase. |
Fertilizer
For Fertilizer, we recommend checking the tubs around the Domes on Dam Battlegrounds or in the Village on Blue Gate. They resemble bathtubs and can be harvested.
Expired Respirators
For Expired Respirators, the suggested locations are the Hospital in Buried City and Stella Montis's medical areas. Smaller medical rooms may also be worth checking.
Raider Flares
Raider Flares can be crafted. Check the in-game crafting and blueprint menus before planning around it. Trading through the u4n marketplace is another option if you prefer not to farm or craft them yourself.
Recommended Looting Priorities
We would plan each run around the materials still missing rather than trying to visit every location in one trip.
- Need Fancy Plates and Mask Fragments? Start in Old Town on Pendola Pass and search trinket-rich areas.
- Need Rock Salt? Focus on kitchen cabinets in residential buildings.
- Need Railway Lanterns? Search the Rail Yard's green lockers, administrative building, metal containers, and trains.
- Need Dead Flowers? Search residential loot across maps, including Spaceport and Pendola Pass.
- Missing the other ingredients? Target the recommended harvestable tubs or medical locations, and check crafting or trading options for Raider Flares.
This approach keeps the search focused and reduces time spent looting containers that are less relevant to your current objective. If a material refuses to drop, change the area or container type instead of repeating the same search indefinitely.
Summary
For the five main Soul's Offering materials, our starting priorities are straightforward: residential loot for Dead Flowers, Old Town on Pendola Pass for Fancy Plates and Mask Fragments, kitchen cabinets for Rock Salt, and Rail Yard for Railway Lanterns. Fertilizer and Expired Respirators have specific locations worth checking, while Raider Flares may be crafted or traded.
Keep your search focused, track what you still need, and use each run to target a specific group of materials. If you're also planning your in-game budget, keep ARC Raiders Coins separate from your material checklist , so your farming and spending goals stay clear.
