1. Follow your Sparrow
Your Sparrow is your built-in GPS. Call it when you’re unsure where to go – it will lead you toward the nearest Faction Tale or key point of interest, keeping your progression on-track.

Soulframe Atlas gathers beginner tips, advanced Envoy tech, resource routes, and wiki-style data into one place – so you can spend less time alt-tabbing and more time saving Omen Beasts.
Getting Started
A spoiler-light route for your first hours in Soulframe. Think of this as your personal Sparrow in text form.
2. Defog with World Trees
Seek out World Trees to reveal large portions of the region map and unlock fast landmarks. Grab nearby materials while you’re there to start building your crafting stockpile.
3. Stay in low-level zones early
Focus on areas below enemy level 10 at first. You’ll gain Pact ranks, Virtue points, and weapon levels faster without being one-shot by late-game foes that drop similar loot.
4. Visit the Blacksmith & Nightfold
As your weapons level, visit Nightfold shelves to unlock Combat Arts and enhance your style. Use the Blacksmith to improve gear, prioritizing survivability over raw damage.
5. Learn Soul Mode habits
Use Soul Mode to scout camps, mark Omen Beasts, and slip behind enemies for stealth attacks or pickpocket attempts. Treat it like a lens that shows you safe routes and hidden interactions.
6. Respect grey health
Grey health represents damage you can “fix” before it becomes permanent. Time your blocks, dodges and partial retreats to avoid having grey health chipped into red.
7. Explore the Build Lab
Experiment with curated Soulframe builds. Compare Pacts, weapons, and Virtue focus to find the playstyle that fits you best.
