Embark on your Soulcalibur VI Libra of Soul adventure! This guide covers character creation, random encounters, town leveling, side quests, and a detailed walkthrough of early chapters.
Create an original character and set forth on an adventure around the world, where you'll experience the legend of the cursed sword from a different soul's perspective.
To battle each character (including the custom characters which use the same movesets) see the Characters section.
Starting your Adventure
Begin by creating your character:
Race Selection
Your moveset is dictated by the weapon type you pick up. These movesets are based on a particular base roster character. Most other fighters encountered in Libra of Souls are also based (or mimicking) a base character's moveset. (The only exception is when you encounter the actual base roster character.)
Use the strategies you'd normally use on the original character on the mimicking character.
Random Encounters
There are random encounters that will reward you with new equipment. Accept these whenever These encounters are titled: "In Search of Strength," "Criminal Invasion" and "Battle for Scoundrels."
"An Unknown Enemy" will have you fight against Lizardmen. Defeat them quickly and gain higher bonuses.
"The King's Fool" is another bonus mission where you battle an opponent known as The King's Fool. The faster you eliminate him, the great your reward.
Traveling, Side Quests and Leveling Up Towns
You can buy food, buy and upgrade weapons or hire mercenaries at towns. Towns can also be leveled up by completing side quests. Leveling the towns will increase your mercenary or blacksmith capabilities.
To find side quests, simply explore the surrounding areas. Be aware that it costs gold to travel. The further you go, the higher the cost for travel.
Look for side quests near towns. These will level up the town.
