Umbral Soul

Gah, that blasted Phoenix glitch is rearing its ugly head, huh? Thought I had squashed that one. Thanks for the heads up, I'll look into it.

Truth be told, Umbral Soul is actually a prequel to another game I'm working on. A few locations and story threads were left hanging so they could be expanded upon in the next game. In hindsight, maybe I shouldn't have put a name indicator over Sullivan Manor, since it isn't actually accessible in Umbral Soul. The house with the sick child is also tied to a sidequest that is only available in the next game.

If you've filled out the list if scenarios, you've unlocked them all, and there aren't any alternate endings to speak of. I'm actually working on something that will expand the heroes stories more as we speak. Actually having a hard time containing my excitement about it.

Here's a list of all the sidequests in the game:

Reinhart and the Necronomicon

Queen Hornet in Palnea Woods/Reddin

The Krakken in Gullivin

Grelda's Kidnapping

Azrielle vs the Kyubirin

Noire's Gift

The Baker's Fiance

Little Girl in Timbershade Woods

Plant monster in Timbershade Woods

Lilith and the succubi

The legendary monster egg

The imprisoned dark mage in Arcfall

Obtain Draconus' final form



I believe that should be all of them. 99.8% sure.

I'm completely overjoyed that this game had such a positive impact on you. When I first started developing it, I thought I didn't have the talent to make it into something worthy of the public eye. But as I played around with scripts, gathered resources and learned better mapping and eventing techniques, it grew into something I could be proud of. Anything you've seen in this game, you can do too. It's all about learning, and I'm still learning even now. I say build the game you love, because if you enjoy making it, development will go a whole lot more smoothly. If you do choose to remake your game, I'll support it all the way.

Thanks for the comment Elvario, you made my day.

Hello! When I am playing I am trying to complete a certain sidequest,

the reinhard sidequest: I did summoned reinhard, now questlog says "meet with reinhard on the dark altar" but I am confused, which one is the dark altar? :/ help please!


The dark altar is the big purple evil-looking tower in the eastmost area of the world map. Just keep heading east and you can't miss it. You'll probably have to use the southern pass to get there.

Original Resources

Wow, you're really going all out with this. I commend you, sir!

Thanks for the heads up NS, this is why I wanted to hold off on releasing another version just yet. I'm working on finding and squashing all the little bugs and spelling errors, but it's a lot to do myself. The bug reports I've been receiving from players have been tremendously helpful, so I appreciate your assistance.

While I had begun working on the sequel, I have something special planned for the future of this game and want to take some time to spiff it up. A word of advice; embrace the horribleness, my friend. Embrace it!

Also dasgibtesnet, there's no way I'm hiring you as my game balance coordinator. You'd probably give the slime Sigil of Oblivion and quadruple its stats.

Kodek- Have no fear, the geek squad has arrived! I just downloaded the "no rtp" version of the game to test if it was working right, and everything seems in order. After downloading, the game should appear as a little blue crystal-looking icon. When you double click it, it should extract everything to a new folder called "Umbral Soul (Dark Rebirth). Open that folder and click on the dragon head, then the game should start up. Please let me know if you have any more trouble, and have fun!

theangryginger- I'm glad you're enjoying the characters and various stories, they were a lot of fun to create. That particular scenario is unlockable for the entire game, so as long as your only save isn't during the final battle segment, you should still be able to get it. Sounds like there's a sidequest in Vallwin you have yet to unlock. If you explore enough, it should be pretty easy to stumble upon.

Umbral Soul

Fernyfer775- Hey thanks man, I'm glad you're enjoying it! To be honest, even the latest version could use some polish here and there, so I'm working on spiffing it up. Just when I think I've gotten all the glitches, another one rears its ugly head. I must achieve perfection!

Varn- Level 42?! Holy moly you must have curb-stomped that boss into oblivion with those stats! I'm actually working on a little something that'll make replaying the game more appealing, but that's all I'll say for now, heh heh heh.

Wait, there's sailing in this game?! I'm starting to think I'll never see 100% of it.

Having played a good chunk of this game, I'll say that if you enjoy open world exploration and finding little adventures everywhere you go, you'll love it. Oh, and beating up on monsters. You'll be doing a lot of that.

Just finished playing the game, wanted to drop a line and say it was amazing. Very glad to hear there will be a sequel.

Two questions (well, 3, but you JUST answered that I can't get into Sullivan Manor no matter what; you have no idea how many times I tried to talk to Miss Sullivan...)

First - if I filled out the full list of scenarios/cutscenes, does that mean I found all the major content? I went through constantly worried I had missed something, seeing how I almost missed several quests along the way, and a number of cities wound up *cough* sort-of destroyed.

Second - and a bit of a spoiler:


I actually beat Athena in the end-game, in the fight with just Pandora and a level 15 Abomination. It turned out Pandy's group healing spell is just enough to (eventually) pull it off, and the not-levelled monster did just enough to out-damage her healing. I did get a nice chunk of XP, but the text afterward made it sound like I lost the fight. Was that intended? Any thought of adding some variant text?

Hey there Varn, glad to hear you enjoyed it! Don't worry, if you've unlocked all the cutscenes, you've pretty much completed all the content the game has to offer. I tried to make all of the sidequest content pretty easy to stumble upon, because I wanted everyone to experience it. There were some intentional loose ends in there to be used as shameless sequel hook bait.

About the end spoiler

I didn't actually expect anyone to defeat Athena before the party arrives, but I suppose the addition of Pandora's healing spell made it possible. I added a little snippet of dialogue during the battle that was meant to convey that the battle was impossible to win with just Pandora, but you must've been seriously well leveled and/or skilled to survive her OP light spells. Now that I know that battle is winnable, some alternate text does sound like a good idea. I'll probably have her full-heal herself like Lilith did.


Just remembered, the Sacred Sanctuary is a sidequest location that doesn't have an unlockable cutscene associated with it. Sullivan Manor is the only location that stays locked the whole game, so if you've been everywhere else and unlocked everything, give yourself a pat on the back!

Whoa there Frogge, let's not start talking crazy now. Blasted conspiracy theorists...On a more serious note, the mapping is on point, as always.
