Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden – Soul Grabbers/Soul Shards Maps

This post has maps of those orb looking things called Soul Grabbers that I’ve found in the game. If you shoot a soul grabber with the rifle it’ll turn into a “soul shard” which is used for upgrades. Note that soul grabbers have an audio tell. It’s like the wind. If you hear wind, look around.

Finding 50 of them will grant you the The Good Hunter trophy.

If the map or directions aren’t good enough, you can usually find a corresponding video on my youtube channel for the area/chapter and check the description for timestamps. Most videos have them.
