Summoning Spectra
Main Quest Details
- You're powerful enough to take on your first Anima, a powerful boss in Soulbound
- You've fixed all of the beacons. now it's time to take on your first boss. But where is she?
- Start by going to Minamoto
Requirement: Quest: "The Farpoint Rift Beacon" completed
Walkthrough
Now that you have fixed all 3 of the beacons and completed all the tasks, you need to head back to Arcadia and talk to Takeda, who will be waiting for you outside near the Desat Bank.
Speak to him to start the Summoning Spectra quest.
Now this mainline quest is a huge one that requires you to do a bunch of things, so you might want to take your time with it—but this is how the story goes…
The Animia are powerful beings wreaking havoc in Soulbound.
As you grow stronger, you’ll find chances to take them on—for powerful loot, deep secrets, and above all else… your legacy.
First, a Moonstone imbued with lunar energy.
“I found one once in a purple chromatic rock while mining,” Takeda says. So perhaps… you could do the same.
Secondly, you must find 3 items to build a Soul Bypass Device.
Only dead souls can pass into the crypt where Spectra lurks. To enter, you’ll need to craft a device that deceives the crypt’s enchantments.
To build it, you must defeat each creature that lurks 40km outside of the following beacons:
- Eastern Reach – Defeat the Tier 2 boss to acquire: → Bypass Interface x1
- Everdune – Defeat the Tier 2 boss to acquire: → Soul Essence x1
- Farpoint Rift – Defeat the Tier 2 boss to acquire: → Bypass Processor Unit x1
Once you’ve obtained all three components, you’ll need to mine for the Moonstone yourself.
Find a purple chromatic rock (labelled Chronoterra), dig deep, and extract its energy.
The Moonstone will power the Soul Bypass Device once it’s complete.
Until then, you will be denied entry to the crypt she haunts.
You must complete all three Tier 2 dungeons, collect their components, and recover the Moonstone to continue your path toward summoning Spectra—the Necromancer Animia.

Dialogue
- Takeda: Player, finally!
- I've been watching your progress as a Pioneer – you're not bad! Almost good, even.
- Now you've fixed all the beacons. perhaps it's time for a bigger challenge.
- Have you heard of the Anima?
- Player: No
- The Anima are powerful beings wreaking havoc in Soulbound. As you grow stronger, you'll find chances to take them on for powerful loot, and above all else...
- Glory!
- I think you're ready to dip your toes in with Spectra.
- She's very powerful, but very elusive too. You'll have to collect specific objects first in order to summon her.
- You must find 3 items to make a Soul Bypass Device. Only dead souls can pass to the crypt where Spectra lurks, and to enter there you'll need to build a device to deceive the crypt's enchantments.
- To build this, defeat each creature that lurks around 40km outside of each beacon. That's Eastern Reach, Everdune, and Farpoint Rift. Defeat each and you will find the parts you need.
- Until then, you will be denied access to the crypt that she haunts.
- Return to me once you have these items and I'll help you with the rest.
Interacting again
- Doesn't look like you have all the items. Better hurry!
Speak to Takeda to learn the next step
- No way! You have the items for the Soul Bypass device already?
- Player: Here
- I have something for you, before we can craft the device: the Necronomicon.
- This is an ancient book that will allow you to summon Spectra: it holds the secrets to crafting the Soul Bypass Device. Without it, these items are useless.
- Using this, you must entreat a skillful craftsman to build the device. Any craftsman worth their keep should be able to do this for you.
- Once you do so. I can help you locate Spectra's crypt.
Speak to Hector in his workshop
- Why hello, Player! Here on business or pleasure?
- Player: Business, I'm afraid OR A bit of both
- You have me intrigued! Pray tell, what brings you here today?
- Player: Can you read this?
- My... What an interesting book. I haven't seen one like it before, and I have seen some bizarre things in my time.
- But no, nothing like this.
- You need me to craft this for you, am I correct? A Soul Bypass Device? If you have the correct items, I can do it for you right now. It isn't complex, just very... unusual.
- One moment...
- Well, this looks about right. I have no idea what it does. but hopefully it serves its purpose.
- Player: This is perfect
- Excellent. I'm glad to hear.
- Pioneer, one thing before you leave. I can't pretend to understand what you plan to do with this device, nor do I get the impression I want to. But please do be careful.
- I have an uneasy feeling. Usually. my crafts speak to me. Speak words to me as I bring them to life.
- But this device? Not a word. An uneasy silence. Again, please be careful.
You have the Soul Bypass Device. It's time to speak to Takeda to find the location of Spectra's crypt
- You have the device? Perfect. Now we can locate Spectra.
- There's an old abandoned part of Arcadia that no one has liwed in for years. It's been silent for years.
- I'we heard stirrings from an old cave entrance that I chalked up to lone robots and Everdune critter until recently. It's definitely Spectra.
- I'll mark the location on your map. Good luck Pioneer!
- Follow me!
Interacting again
- Go through this door! I can't come any further, so good luck!
