Tormented Souls Walkthrough (2024)

Here you can find a complete Tormented SoulsWalkthrough with all Puzzles, Key Items, Inventory Items, Collectibles, and Trophies. Everything needed for 100% completion is included.

This walkthroughshows the best route through the game, which also comes in handy when youdo a Speedrun.Tormented Souls is a very puzzle-heavy game. You can expect your first playthrough to take 6 hours with the help of this walkthrough, or 10-12 hours without. Some locations have different names depending on whether looking at the map or the name that appears when you enter the room. For consistency this guide will use the names displayed on the map where possible.

This walkthrough is kept as spoiler-free as possible and doesn’t discuss cutscene contents or major story plots.

Depending on which patch you play this game on, you may find that certain sections of this walkthrough do not match. That is because some items were moved around, and even some rooms changed entirely, in the early patches. This is especially noticeable between 1.00 and 1.01. This walkthrough is accurate as of patch 1.03 (for PS5). The PS4 version of the game has all updates in patch 1.00.

Overview of item coloring:

• Diary Entries

First of all, examine yourGas Canister and open the lid, then interact with the pump to place the canister down. You now need to direct the gasoline through the pipes by capping pipes and turning valves. Valves that are parallel to the pipe are on and valves that are perpendicular to the pipe are off. See below for the solution:

Now that you have the gasoline, it is advised make a save as the decision point for the different endings is coming up shortly. This will allow you to reload your save and get them out of the way, if you so desire. This is also your last chance to fully backtrack while being able to still finish the game, so if there’s anything you missed, now is the time to get it.

Head downstairs to the water pump, add the gasoline and pull the trigger to drain the water and open the new path (Water ).

Adoption Ending

Head down into thePreparation Room. After the cutscene, you’ll be greeted by 4 Hammers, which you will have to kill in order to progress. Use yourShotgun andElectric Lance, if you’ve been collecting all the ammo you should have enough to kill them, even if you’ve killed every other enemy. Don’t use yourNailer unless you have to, as it’s best saved for after this fight. After defeating them, theCross Key will drop down. You can also getmorphine,shotgun ammo andelectric lance charges from where the Hammers spawned. Use theCross Key on the stairs to lower them.

This is where you make the first of two decisions that change the endings. Interact with the Monster and use theAntidote on them to reveal a pair ofBolt Cutters. Grab them, then continue down the elevator, but take note that this is the point of no return.In the Graveyardyou’ll find arecording tape, the final save point, as well as a duplicate collectible ofBertram’s Note 02. Continue through the door and head down the stairs for the final encounter.

In order to defeat the boss, you will need to interact with 3 wheels around the area. These are protected by bulbs which cannot be attacked until you weaken the boss, 6 nails will do. Now attack one of the bulbs, either with a single lance charge, or by hitting twice with theCrowbar and dodging backwards. Once the bulb disappears, quickly interact with the wheel so the bulb doesn’t grab it again, and press the button when the wheels line up with the gap. Press the button successfully 3 times to clear that wheel. Repeat this process for the other two wheels after hurting the boss, and once you have cleared the final wheel, the boss will be dead. You can find somenails,shotgun shells and afirst aid kit in the room if needed. Head up the elevator.

Head back through the areas until you reach theMeeting Room, all other paths will be blocked off. This is where you make the second decision that changes the endings. For the Good Ending, use theVHS Tape (Experiment Room) to return to Anna. Use theBolt Cutters on her cell and talk to her. After the cutscene, use theCross Keyon the front door to leave and finish the game (Sisters andNostalgia ).

ForgetfulnessEnding

For the Forgetfulness Ending, you have two options. First, you will have to use the Antidoteon the Monster, same as in the Adoption Ending. However after defeating the boss, do not save Anna in the past andsimply go to theMain Hall and leave through the front door. Alternatively, you can simply use the Scalpel on the Monster which will force you into the Forgetfulness Ending.There is no trophy tied specifically to this ending however.

RemorseEnding

In order to get the Remorse Ending, simply do not administer theAntidote to the Monster. Defeat the last boss and escape like in theForgetfulness Ending (Remorse ) – this trophy was glitched in the earlier versions and was fixed in patch 1.03, however if you have an earlier version you will not be able to unlock this.
