Souls also play a vital part in online matchmaking. You can also gather souls from soul items and by defeating a boss and earn yourself a boss soul item. Souls are your currency and the resource you need to level up your character attributes with. Every living thing regardless if it is a biological creature or a moving statue have a soul, by killing that creature you will absorb its soul and add that to your own. In Dark Souls 2 and in the Dark Souls franchise souls have been an important resource that the player can gather.
