Moonlight Peaks hides 100 Soul Blobs across its map, and catching every one of them unlocks the Skulls in a Net achievement along with a set of Antique Clock rewards from Death. You need the Net tool first, and that tool only comes from progressing the early story far enough to trigger Death’s questline.
How to Unlock Soul Blobs and Get the Net
Soul Blobs stay locked out of the game until you clear the path to Misty Shores. That means finishing two separate story beats: the A Bridge Too Far quest, which lifts Fiona’s curse on the bridge, and Brook’s missing Crest quest. Death won’t appear until you’ve wrapped up both.
Once the bridge and Crest quest are done, head into Misty Shores and you will trigger an automatic cutscene where you meet Death in the graveyard. This first meeting only introduces him, so don’t expect the Net right away. Sleep for the night, then return to town the next evening. A second cutscene plays, Death explains the Soul Blob collection, and the Net is added to your tool wheel automatically.
How to Catch Soul Blobs
Soul Blobs are the floating skulls you’ll spot scattered across nearly every area once the collection unlocks. Equip the Net from your tool wheel and get close before swinging, since the tool has a real miss chance and every swing drains energy whether it lands or not.
Chasing a Soul Blob at full speed usually wastes energy because it will keep running from you. Cornering it against a wall, fence, or other obstacle gives you a much cleaner shot. Caught Soul Blobs don’t sit in your inventory. Check the Almanac in your menu to confirm what you’ve collected so far.
Net Stats for Catching Soul Blobs
The Net is the only tool that catches Soul Blobs, and its stats stay fixed no matter which Soul Blob you’re chasing.
| Tool | Energy Cost | Catch Range | Miss Chance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Net | 4 | 1.75 | 20% |
A 20% miss chance means failed swings are part of the routine, not the exception. Stock up on energy-restoring food before a dedicated Soul Blob run so a string of misses doesn’t strand you halfway through the night.
How Soul Blob Spawns Work
Entering a new area triggers the spawn check. The game looks at your Almanac, filters out anything you’ve already caught, and populates the area with up to 5 Soul Blobs drawn from what’s left on your list.
Because caught Soul Blobs drop out of rotation permanently, you’re not gambling on repeats. Every catch shrinks the pool, which is also why Soul Blobs don’t behave like Critters or Fish tied to a fixed time and place. Simply moving through different parts of the map on your normal errands is usually enough to keep new ones showing up.
What Death Gives You for Catching Soul Blobs
Death rewards your collection progress with Antique Clocks at three separate milestones, and each clock unlocks a new option for adjusting how long your in-game nights last.
| Soul Blobs Caught | Reward |
|---|---|
| 10 | Antique Clock, changes night duration from 15 minutes to 25 minutes |
| 50 | Second Antique Clock, adds a 10-minute night option |
| 100 | Third Antique Clock, adds a 35-minute night option |
The clocks themselves stay in storage. Simply hitting a milestone unlocks the option, and you’ll find the new night-length setting waiting in your game menu.

Tips to Catch Every Soul Blob Faster
- Clear the Misty Shores story gate first. Nothing spawns until Death hands you the Net.
- Carry food to keep your energy topped up during long collecting sessions.
- Corner Soul Blobs instead of chasing them, since every miss still costs energy.
- Catch them on sight rather than saving them for a dedicated run, since they show up naturally while you handle other tasks.
- Cover different parts of the map each night instead of looping the same spot, since your remaining pool spawns wherever you go next. Play Now!
