Yes, Soul's Offering is worth finishing, and the reason is Stage 4. The guns are decent, but the limited rewards are the Pilgrim backpack and the Offering Display Table design, and you can't reach them without clearing all three shrine stages first. This guide scores every stage, adds up the true cost in coins and dollars, and covers the reported Stage 4 damage step that most guides miss. For the full shopping list, see our Soul's Offering guide.
Quick answer: Soul's Offering is an 8/10 for anyone level 20 or higher who plays regularly. Stage 1 is close to free, Stage 2 is the grind, and Stage 3 costs 21,000 coins of Epics. Stage 4 is a firework at the Santa Maria Houses, and IGN and players also report 300 damage to ARC first. The project lists a November 16 end on the wiki, but IGN lists November 15, so plan for the 15th.

Key Takeaways
- Verdict: worth finishing if you want the cosmetics. Worth stopping at Stage 1 if you only want a free Stiletto II kit.
- Scope: 11 different items and 58 units across Stages 1 to 3, per the wiki's stage tabs.
- Hardest item: Mask Fragment. Biggest grind: 15 Advanced ARC Powercells.
- Hidden step: IGN and players report 300 damage to ARC before the firework, while the wiki lists only the firework.
- Trap: the table reward is a design, so crafting it costs 3 more Dead Flowers and 30 Sheet Metal.
Which Soul's Offering stages are worth it?
Here's our scoring, based on what each stage asks for against what it pays.
| Stage | Main cost | Reward | Our score |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Vaulto's Offering | 1 Dead Flowers, 2 Rock Salt, 15 ARC Alloy, 1 Expired Respirator | Stiletto II, Extended Barrel I, Angled Grip II, Stable Stock II | 9/10 |
| 2. Ferrovia's Offering | 3 Dead Flowers, 2 Railway Lantern, 15 Advanced ARC Powercell, 10 Remote Raider Flare | Torrente II, Compensator III, Extended Medium Mag III, Stable Stock III | 6/10 |
| 3. Murteta's Offering | 2 Fancy Plate, 1 Mask Fragment, 1 Insulation Roll, 5 Fertilizer | Vulcano I, Shotgun Silencer, Extended Shotgun Mag III, 3 Fireworks Box | 7/10 |
| 4. Honor The Fallen | A firework, plus 300 damage to ARC per IGN and players | Pilgrim (Backpack), Offering Display Table design | 10/10 |
Stage 1 is the bargain. ARC Alloy and the Respirator arrive naturally, so your real hunt is three trinkets for a full Stiletto II kit.
Stage 2 is the low point. It's the biggest list and the rewards are hardware you can replace. The Torrente II kit is good for medium-ammo players. Everyone else should treat this stage as the toll road to Stage 3.
Stage 3 is a real trade. Two Fancy Plates and a Mask Fragment sell for 21,000 coins, and you're giving them up for a Vulcano I and its attachments. Our Vulcano blueprint guide shows the permanent route if that's the only gun you care about.
Stage 4 is why you're here. It costs almost nothing and pays out the only rewards on the list with no other known source. Wiki and tracker pages show none right now, and ARC Tracker notes that no container is known to hold the design. Embark hasn't said whether they'll return.
What does Soul's Offering really cost?
Most guides stop at the item list. Here's the in-game bill.
| Cost | Coins |
|---|---|
| 10 Remote Raider Flares from Shani | 8,100 |
| Stage 3 Epics you hand in rather than sell | 21,000 |
| Total | 29,100 |
| A replacement Fireworks Box, if you used yours | 6,000 |
That's before you count raids spent on Powercells and trinket luck. If you'd rather pay with time saved than coins and raids, every item is on sale individually, and the project service covers one stage or all four with materials and piloting included. Stage prices change, so check the product page for the current figure.
How many raids does Soul's Offering take?
It varies more than any guide will admit, because five items rely on trinket luck. u/Dragoons_ finished within about three days of launch and picked out the Mask Fragment as the worst part. Others are still posting about Dead Flowers days later.

How do you finish Stage 4 at the Santa Maria Houses?
The wiki, ARC Tracker and games.gg list only the firework, but IGN and players describe a damage step first. IGN says you'll be "dealing 300 damage to ARCs" in the Santa Maria Houses area and then setting off fireworks. Follow what your Projects screen shows. Here's the clean way through it:
- Bring a Fireworks Box and a gun. Stage 3 gives you 3 boxes, so keep at least one. If you've used them, Shani sells more at 6,000 coins, limit 3 per day.
- Deal the 300 damage from a safe spot if your objective lists it. Don't wait for an ARC to spawn inside the houses. u/Dragoons_ spent 13 raids on this before learning you can stand on the building and shoot ARC from there.
- Find the shrine. IGN recommends the rooftop shrine at the centre of the houses, marked by a waving flag.
- Deploy, then trigger. The box is remotely triggered, so placing it doesn't count on its own. Confirm the objective on your Projects screen before leaving.
No Grappling Hook? games.gg describes a route up from the alley to the north, where sand piled against a neighbouring building forms a ramp to its roof.
Is the Offering Display Table worth crafting?
For Outpost collectors, yes. It's Legendary Outpost furniture, and it's a strong trophy for this event. Just remember Stage 4 only gives you the design. ARC Tracker's recipe needs 3 Dead Flowers and 30 Sheet Metal, which pushes your flower target from 4 to 7.
If Outpost decoration doesn't interest you, skip the craft and take the Pilgrim backpack as your trophy. Note that the IGN guide calls the Pilgrim a backpack charm, while the wiki lists it as a backpack cosmetic.
When does Soul's Offering end?
Sources disagree by a day, so don't cut it close. The wiki and games.gg list November 16, 2026, and theclick.gg says the 15th came from an earlier preview. IGN's event tracker still ends on November 15. A completion screenshot posted October 30 showed 16 days remaining, which fits IGN's date, but it's a single screenshot. Trust the timer on your Projects screen, and aim to finish a week early so a bad RNG streak can't cost you the final rewards.
Don't want to gamble on the deadline? Everything you need for the finish line is available right now.

- Offering Display Table Design: the Legendary Outpost furniture design.
- Dead Flowers: for Stages 1 and 2 and the table recipe.
- Mask Fragment: the item most raiders get stuck on.
