PRO TIP 1 Additional Requirements
Despite the fact that the Official Requirements have been outlined, it is easy to imagine how playing the minigame with such low requirements, especially combat, will be tedious. Also, you'll constantly encountering high-level players!
The current trend is that players are using Ancient Magicks Spellbook to take advantage of multi-combat Freeze Spells. In order to counter this, we recommend the High Magic Defence Armor is used!
The Essentials To Soul Wars Minigame and What To Expect
After the game begins it will start at the graveyard of your base. This can never be lost to the enemy, and you'll respawn here after death, provided you do not own any other graveyards.
Your avatar is located in your team's base.
You can also collect explosive potions and barricades from your supply area. Potions and bandages can be gathered from within your base's graveyard.
What is an Avatar?
Avatars are crucial to winning The team with the highest amount of avatar kills at the conclusion of the match will be declared the winner.
While your avatar is very powerful and has the ability to protect itself, it could be snuffed out by attackers. So you should be sure to protect it. If you're not working to defend the avatar, you should move forward, weaken the enemy avatar and attempt to eliminate it.
The Supply Area
From the Supply area, you will be able to find barricades, bandages, explosive potions and potions of strength from your base.
Bandages can be used to repair your body, get rid of poisons and restore your energy.
Barricades are a great way to deter enemies from a particular area. Your team can only use ten barricades, and you can only take one at a time , so use them wisely.
Explosive potions can be used to instantly destroy any barricade.
The power of potions can improve your combat capabilities and revive your faith.
Soul Obelisks, and Graveyards
In the middle of the island is situated in the middle of the island is the Soul Obelisk. Your team could capture this by having more people around it than your opponent.
Sacrifice soul fragments to make the enemy avatar weaker.
You can earn Soul Fragments by defeating enemies , or by killing the creatures that roam the island.
Two graveyards with capturable graves are located on the island. They can be captured by having more participants close to it than the opponent. However, it is not possible to get the base graveyard of an opposing team.
Capturing a graveyard allows your teammates to use the graveyard for an additional place to respawn. It is important to note that you'll always be respawned at the same graveyard where you died!
The strength of your avatar can be restored by burying your avatar's bones in the graveyard.
PRO TIP 2: Choose the activity that is best for you!
We recommend the following activities for low combat players:
killing NPCs to get bones and burying the bones at the Allied Graveyard.
Killing NPCs in exchange for Soul Fragments and sacrificing them at the Soul Obelisk.
If you're a skilled combat athlete, we suggest that you help your team by engaging in the below activities:

Last thoughts on Soul Wars in OSRS
Overall, it was a popular minigame, giving P2P players a chance to display their Combat and Teamwork skills, however how will this affect other minigames, and the business model of the game remains to be determined.
We believe that Castle Wars Minigame has experienced a negative impact, since gamers are less likely to play it since Soul Wars was released.
Items such as the Karil's Armour Set have been increasing in price, similarly to what can be seen from other items like the Elysian spirit shield, Magic Offensive and Defensive armor, and much more.
PRO TIP 3: You can purchase these exclusive OSRS items from the Probemas OSRS Item Shop!
However, items such as Raw Fish, Ores and Rune Armour as well as certain seeds will experience some slight reductions in prices due to the Spoils of War, which is a new method of getting these goods.
A portion of Probemas top boosters have been assigned to Soul Wars Grinding , so if you've tried the game and had a hard time getting through it, we suggest you to join our discord server and play our OSRS minigames, so that we can take care of the work for you and get you the reward that you've always wanted!
We hope that you've enjoyed the article and hope you have a successful time on the battlefield!
