Deadlock Spirit Urn Explained: What Does the Soul Urn Do?

Besides all the chaotic action and killing, MOBA games come with plenty of hidden objectives and Deadlock is no exception. However, every objective in Deadlock comes with its own quest and perks. One such side objective is the Spirit Urn or Soul Urn in Deadlock. Want to know what it does? Keep reading as we tell you everything about the Spirit Urn in Deadlock.

What is the Deadlock Spirit Urn?

The Spirit Urn, also known as a Soul Urn in Deadlock is a side objective in the game that in general does not make you win or lose a game. However, just like the mid-boss Rejuvenator, Spirit Urn also has its own benefits. While the Deadlock mid-boss is more for the late game, you must start doing the Soul Urn objectives early in the game.

The Spirit Urn spawns in a Soul Urn spot at the game’s 10-minute point. You will notice the urn on your minimap on either the 1st or 4th lane. If you are too focused to not check it, don’t worry. You will know about the Spirit Urn by the in-game announcer.

So, you know your queue on when it is coming. However, do note that the Spirit Urn in Deadlock will take a few seconds to fall from the sky so be careful.

How Does Spirit Urn Works

Once you know where the Spirit Urn in Deadlock is spawning, rush to it and stand on top of it for a few seconds to capture it. After you capture a Soul Urn in Deadlock, you will have to deliver it to the Spirit Altar. The Altar location will be exactly on the opposite side of the Soul Urn spawn. You will also see a green box on the minimap to locate it easily.

However, this location changes once any team has an 8% net worth lead. Although the pick-up location will remain the same, the drop locations change depending on your lead or trail. If there’s no lead over 8% net worth, the drop-off location is the same as before. If there is a lead over 8% net worth, the drop-off location will be closer to the losing team’s side.

Do note that as soon as you grab the Spirit Urn, you will be barred from using your abilities and your weapon. The only thing you can do while carrying the Soul Urn is use any movement such as jump, dodge, double jump, wall jump, etc. You may leave the urn for a bit by pressing F but if you leave it on the ground for too long, it will return to its spawn.

If your enemy is carrying the Spirit Urn, you cannot see who it is unless spotting them on the map. However, the Soul Alte]ar will turn red on your minimap. Moreover, if enemies chase a Soul Urn carrier, they will get a +3 Sprint Bonus.

Deadlock Soul Urn Rewards

Bringing the Spirit Urn to the Altar can be a struggle but it comes with such enticing rewards as well. Once you deliver the Soul Urn to an Altar, your team receives the number of Souls written on the urn. This number will increase as your game goes deeper in the late game. Moreover, you will gain a permanent golden statue buff from each urn you deliver. Furthermore, you will receive 1 Ability Point and 25% bonus Souls as the carrier.

Keep in mind that the bonus soul will pop out after you deliver the urn. This means that enemies can deny the souls easily. So, be ready to claim the souls as soon as they appear. The Soul Urn will spawn exactly 5-minutes after it is delivered. However, if none of the teams touch the Spirit Urn, it will respawn in a random urn spawn point on the next 5-minute mark.

How to Move the Soul Urn Faster in Deadlock

Although you cannot use abilities with the Spirit Urn in your possession, some teammates’ abilities can help you out. Ivy can use her ultimate, Air Drop, to move you easily from the urn spawn to the Altar.

Remember that you cannot use zip or teleport while having the urn. That is why you are reliant on your stamina for the most part. It is always ideal if the team assists you while carrying the urn as the enemies might camp the Altar and snatch it away for their benefit.
