Soulstones are one of the most important items you’ll encounter in TBH: Task Bar Hero. Many players only realize how important they are when they try to challenge an Act Boss and receive a message saying they don’t have the required entry item.
If you’ve ever seen a warning about a missing entry ticket, the game is referring to a Soulstone.
These items are required to access boss encounters and are consumed each time you enter a boss battle. Since Act Bosses provide some of the best rewards in the game, you’ll want to keep a healthy supply of Soulstones available at all times.
How to Get Soulstones in TBH Task Bar Hero
Soulstones act as boss-entry tickets.
Whenever you want to challenge an Act Boss, the game consumes one Soulstone matching that difficulty level.
Current Soulstone types include:
- Normal Soulstone
- Nightmare Soulstone
- Hell Soulstone
- Torment Soulstone
Without the correct Soulstone, you won’t be able to start the boss encounter.
How to Farm Soulstones
The primary way to obtain Soulstones is through enemy drops.
Unlike many materials in the game, Soulstones are tied to specific stages and enemy locations. While they can occasionally drop elsewhere, certain stages are considered much more reliable than others.
For players looking for Normal Soulstones, two of the most commonly recommended farming locations are:
- Act 1-8
- Act 2-4 (Giant Fly Stage)
These areas are known for having better Soulstone drop opportunities compared to many earlier stages.
While it’s possible to find Soulstones in other locations, the drop rate tends to be less consistent.
Understanding Soulstone Drops
One thing that often confuses new players is that Soulstones are considered rare drops.
This means you may not receive one immediately after entering the correct stage.
Sometimes a Soulstone can drop very early, while other times it may take multiple farming runs before one appears.
Because of this, patience is important when farming them.
If you’re actively hunting Soulstones, it’s usually best to repeatedly farm the same recommended stage instead of constantly switching between maps.
Checking Drop Locations
If you’re unsure where a specific Soulstone comes from, it’s worth checking the game’s drop information.
The map and drop tables can help identify which zones are associated with certain Soulstone difficulties.
As you progress through higher difficulties, different Soulstones become available from different content.
Knowing where they drop can save a significant amount of farming time.
Buying Soulstones From the Steam Market
If farming isn’t producing results and you need a Soulstone immediately, there’s another option.
Soulstones are tradeable items and can be purchased through the Steam Community Market.
To do this:
- Open the Steam Community Market.
- Search for “Soulstone.”
- Select the difficulty you need.
- Purchase the item.
Available listings often include:
- Normal Soulstone
- Nightmare Soulstone
- Hell Soulstone
- Torment Soulstone
This is particularly useful when you’re stuck because of bad luck and need a Soulstone quickly.
Since TBH allows players to sell items on the Steam Market, many players use Steam Wallet funds earned from selling equipment and materials to purchase Soulstones when needed.
How to Use Soulstones
Once you have the required Soulstone, using it is simple.
Look toward the bottom-right corner of the screen and locate the red portal button.
Selecting this option allows you to challenge the Act Boss.
When the encounter begins, one Soulstone is automatically consumed.
After that, your team can fight the boss and claim the available rewards.
Are Soulstones Worth Saving?
For most players, the answer is yes.
Because Soulstones are required for boss encounters and can sometimes take time to farm, it’s generally a good idea to avoid wasting them.
Many experienced players prefer to save Soulstones until they are confident they can clear the boss efficiently.
This helps maximize the value of every Soulstone spent.
Soulstones are essential progression items in TBH: Task Bar Hero. They serve as the key to Act Boss encounters and are required for some of the game’s best rewards. The most reliable way to obtain them is through farming specific stages such as Act 1-8 and Act 2-4, though players can also purchase them from the Steam Community Market when necessary.
If you’re planning to challenge bosses regularly, make Soulstone farming part of your routine so you’re never locked out of valuable boss rewards when you need them most.
