Soul's Offering is ARC Raiders' limited-time commemorative project added in update 2.3.0, and it runs until November 16, 2026. Four stages stand between you and the Pilgrim Backpack cosmetic plus the Offering Display Table design. The first three stages require material submissions, and the fourth sends you to a rooftop in Buried City with a firework. Here is exactly what you need, where to find it, and how to avoid wasting raids on empty containers.
Dead Flowers in a drawer
What are all the Soul's Offering requirements?
Before you spend a single raid searching, check your stash. ARC Alloy, Advanced ARC Powercells, and Remote Raider Flares may already be sitting there. The materials that will actually slow you down are the trinkets: Dead Flowers, Rock Salt, Fancy Plates, Mask Fragment, and Insulation Roll.
The mistake most players make is finding one Dead Flower and moving on. You need four across the first two stages, so keep every one you find.
| Stage | Required Materials | Rewards |
|---|---|---|
| 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 |
| 2: Ferrovia's Offering | 3 Dead Flowers, 2 Railway Lanterns, 15 Advanced ARC Powercells, 10 Remote Raider Flares | Torrente II, Compensator III, Extended Medium Mag III, Stable Stock III |
| 3: Murteta's Offering | 2 Fancy Plates, 1 Mask Fragment, 1 Insulation Roll, 5 Fertilizer | Vulcano I, Shotgun Silencer, Extended Shotgun Mag III, 3 Fireworks Boxes |
| 4: Honor the Fallen | Set off a firework on the Santa Maria Houses rooftop | Pilgrim Backpack, Offering Display Table design |
If you plan to craft the Offering Display Table after the project ends, its recipe requires 3 Dead Flowers and 30 Sheet Metal. That means holding 7 Dead Flowers total: 4 for the project and 3 for the table.
Where to find Dead Flowers and Rock Salt
These two trinkets share a practical search zone, which makes them the natural starting point for any Soul's Offering run.
Old Town on Pendola Pass
Old Town is the most reported location for both items. Players have found Dead Flowers in drawers and residential containers throughout the neighborhood, and Rock Salt turns up in kitchen cupboards across the same buildings. The overlap matters because a single sweep through Old Town can chip away at both shortages at once, along with Fancy Plates for Stage 3.
Search each building properly before moving to the next one. Open drawers, check kitchen cabinets, scan tables and floors. Running through and only opening large containers misses most of the relevant loot. If a cluster of buildings has already been cleared by other players, move to the next residential group rather than repeating the same empty rooms.
Alternative locations
Hotel Panorama's rooftop kitchen on Riven Tides is a reported find for both Rock Salt and Dead Flowers. Take the zipline up and check the kitchen containers. Treat it as a backup option rather than a primary destination, since spawn results vary between raids.
For Dead Flowers specifically, players have also reported finds at Space Travel and Galleria in Buried City. Rock Salt has been reported in kitchen cabinets at Grandioso Apartments in Buried City as well.
Where to find every other Soul's Offering material
Once your trinket shortage shifts away from Dead Flowers and Rock Salt, use this table to target what remains.
| Missing Item | Where to Look | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Fancy Plate x2 | Old Town cupboards, drawers, tables, and floor loot | Check exposed surfaces, not just containers |
| Mask Fragment x1 | Drawers at Controlled Receiving Facility near Pendola Pass rail yard | One reported find; search drawers and surfaces |
| Insulation Roll x1 | Pendola Pass Storm Huts during storm conditions | Confirm storm is active before committing |
| Fertilizer x5 | Riven Tides shallow-water area; Dam Battlegrounds domes | Dam domes are a community-reported alternative |
| Expired Respirator x1 | Medical loot areas; small medical hut on Pendola Pass | Testing Annex, Buried City Hospital, and Stella Montis Medical Research are alternatives |
| Railway Lantern x2 | Pendola Pass supermarket side room and security lockers | Station area and trains are secondary options |
| ARC Alloy x15 | Defeated ARC enemies and ARC salvage | Collect during normal combat runs |
| Advanced ARC Powercell x15 | Larger ARC enemies including Bastion and Bombardier | Confirm the Advanced name when looting, not the standard Powercell |
| Remote Raider Flare x10 | Craft at the Utility Station with the blueprint; check Shani as a vendor if you lack the blueprint | Check your stash before farming Raider Caches |
For the Insulation Roll, the storm condition matters. Plan that stop around weather timing rather than treating Storm Huts as a standard route.
For Remote Raider Flares, crafting is usually faster than looting. Check your stash and the Utility Station before spending raids on random containers.

How to run Old Town efficiently
Old Town is valuable because it covers Rock Salt, Dead Flowers, and Fancy Plates in one pass. Here is the order that makes the most of a single deployment.
- Start near the pharmacy and work through the surrounding residential interiors. The pharmacy itself is not the main trinket target, but it works as a reliable landmark.
- Open drawers and kitchen cabinets in each building on accessible floors. Check tables and the floor before leaving each room.
- Move through Hotel Pension and connected buildings while they are unlooted. Pick up Fancy Plates even if you are still working on Stage 1 materials.
- If Railway Lanterns are still missing and the supermarket is on your extraction route, check its side room and security lockers.
Skip any stop that no longer addresses a shortage. The route's value comes from combining multiple searches, and that value drops once you have what you need. Extract when your bag contains the materials you came for.
Confirming Dead Flowers in loot
For other material runs in the same area, check out the ARC Raiders Candleberries farming guide for Cold Snap routing that pairs well with Pendola Pass deployments.
How to complete Honor the Fallen at Santa Maria Houses
The final stage does not require any additional material submission. It only asks you to set off a firework on the Santa Maria Houses rooftop in Buried City. The listed objective is the firework activation, not a combat requirement.
How do you reach the Santa Maria Houses rooftop without a Grappling Hook?
Here is the short answer: use the neighboring building with sand piled up against it.
- Find the alley north of Santa Maria Houses and locate the neighboring building where sand has accumulated against its side, giving you a natural ramp toward the roof.
- Climb onto that roof and face south toward the yellow bell tower.
- Cross the metal walkway toward the yellow building, jump the gap, then climb onto the pink building on your left. Stay outside the courtyard.
- Confirm you are on Santa Maria Houses itself, then place the Fireworks Box and activate it.
- Check the Projects screen before leaving the area to confirm completion.
Placement alone does not count as activation. If the objective does not register, verify the rooftop location and check whether the box actually fired before using a second one.
Soul's Offering rewards summary
Here is what each stage pays out beyond the final cosmetics.
- Stage 1: Stiletto II, Extended Barrel I, Angled Grip II, Stable Stock II
- Stage 2: Torrente II, Compensator III, Extended Medium Mag III, Stable Stock III
- Stage 3: Vulcano I, Shotgun Silencer, Extended Shotgun Mag III, 3 Fireworks Boxes
- Stage 4: Pilgrim Backpack cosmetic, Offering Display Table design
The weapons and attachments from Stages 1 through 3 are useful, but the Pilgrim Backpack and Offering Display Table are the main reasons to push through to Stage 4. The table design is not a free crafted piece; check its recipe for the 3 Dead Flowers and 30 Sheet Metal requirement before recycling any leftover flowers.
The project deadline is November 16, 2026. Do not leave the rooftop objective until the final days. If the in-game countdown shows fewer days than you expect, prioritize the rooftop run immediately.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Selling or recycling Dead Flowers after Stage 1. You need three more for Stage 2, and finding four across multiple raids is already slow enough.
- Ignoring table surfaces when hunting Fancy Plates. They appear as loose loot, not just inside containers.
- Assuming the Advanced ARC Powercell drop rate is guaranteed. It is not. Extract when your health and ammo are running low rather than forcing another fight.
- Using all three Fireworks Boxes before Stage 4. Keep one back from the moment Stage 3 completes.
- Treating any reported location as a fixed spawn. None of these items have confirmed guaranteed containers. Rotate zones when a building is already looted.
