How to play Ancient Souls: A beginner's guide to the Ancient Souls mobile game

How to play Ancient Souls? For new players who are just starting out in the Giant God Library, you will likely encounter various difficulties during gameplay. Which characters are easier to start with? How should soul cards be combined? Given that beginners face many issues and may take detours, this guide is prepared specifically for new players to help them get started more smoothly. Let's take a look at this beginner tutorial.

One, Faction Selection

No matter what character you choose in the game, remember that no one is an independent individual in this world; everyone must belong to a faction. Choosing a faction means expressing your attitude toward this world. Currently, there are three factions: the red stone monument represents the Chaos faction; the yellow stone monument represents the Destiny faction; the green stone monument represents the Abyss faction. The choice of faction is related to the subsequent "Sacrifice Redemption" gameplay. After each level victory, you need to choose either sacrifice or redemption, which will bring corresponding bonus effects. For example, if you choose the Chaos faction, selecting to sacrifice monsters after winning a battle will give you 100% bonus Sacrifice Stones, while choosing redemption will reduce the passage reward by 50%.

Two, Material Acquisition

1. Greed Land, ancient coins are the most commonly used currency in this world. They can be used to buy equipment, enhance equipment, and upgrade soul cores, all of which require this currency, with a very high consumption rate. To accumulate this material, you cannot miss the Greed Land. Players can choose different difficulties based on their level, defeat the greed chests, and obtain large amounts of ancient coins.

2. Treasure Secret Realm, once you have the basic currency, you will definitely want to spend it to boost your strength. The map for obtaining equipment enhancement materials is set up as the Treasure Secret Realm. When participating in challenges in the Treasure Secret Realm, check your level and choose appropriate difficulty levels. Defeating opponents inside can yield reinforcement materials of different qualities. Some monsters are quite challenging, so caution is advised.

3. Soul Stealing Path, this is an important channel for obtaining soul cores, which are a significant source of power. Cultivating soul cores is essential, and this place is key for obtaining cultivation materials. You shouldn't miss Yidi Harbor, where all necessary materials for breakthroughs and advancements can be obtained.

Three, Stamina

The initial stamina in the game is 50 points, with a maximum storage capacity of 100 points. Any excess cannot be retained. There are several ways to gain stamina in the game: first, automatic recovery, where you can automatically recover 50 points at midnight, up to a maximum of 100 points; second, soul stone exchange, where 100 soul stones can be exchanged for 10 stamina points, with a maximum of five exchanges per day, resetting at midnight; third, Mind Crystal, which can be obtained through various activities and found in the inventory for use.

The use of stamina also has certain techniques at different stages. During the early stage, prioritize using stamina on main storyline levels until you hit a roadblock, then exchange for 50 points to continue advancing. Unlocking new daily tasks every day can help you progress faster. In the mid-stage, focus on the main storyline and allocate stamina reasonably. Extra stamina can be used for higher floors in the Soul Hunter challenge to obtain materials and soul stones. In the late stage, prioritize Soul Hunter to get many appearance equipment fragments, soul stones, and make the main storyline secondary.

Four, Combat

1. Counterattack, there are three forms: ① when enemies or bosses use skills and blue light points appear, clicking counterattack completes it, putting the boss into a small stun state; ② reducing the boss's endurance bar, when the endurance bar runs out, they enter a major stun state; ③ within the major stun time, if the second segment of the endurance bar is filled, the boss enters a weakened state.

2. Residual Soul, when using skills or rolling, endurance bars are required. Once depleted, you cannot perform these actions. Stopping combat will automatically restore endurance. This function becomes useful when a yellow weakened endurance bar appears; switching weapons instantly restores part of the yellow endurance bar, allowing you to continue attacking.
