The Statue of Power is where Effigies become permanent player power and Pal Souls become permanent Pal power. Most players only use half of it.
Statue Of Power is one building with two jobs. Offer Pal Effigies to permanently buff the player. Offer Pal Souls to permanently buff a single Pal's HP, Attack, Defence, and Work Speed. This guide owns Souls. The Effigies Sphere Signal owns all 13 Effigy tracks and map pins.

1.0 Effigies guideStatue Of Power UI (what you offer where)
- Build a Statue Of Power at base, or use one inside an Abandoned Church.
- Effigy tab: spend Pal Effigies for permanent player tracks (Capture Power, swim, climb, EXP, and more).
- Pal Soul tab: pick a Pal, then raise HP, Attack, Defence, or Work Speed with Small, Medium, Large, and Giant Pal Souls.
- Effigies never spend Souls. Souls never raise Effigy ranks. Keep the two wallets separate.
Effigies recap (short)
You visit the statue for Effigies when you want player-side power: Capture Power, movement, stamina, sphere homing, EXP, and related tracks. Do not reprint the full table here. Tap a type on the Effigies guide to open the map with only that filter.

Effigies Sphere SignalWhat Pal Souls do
Item text is the same idea across sizes: a spirit left behind by a Pal that draws out hidden abilities when offered to a Statue Of Power. Each Soul size feeds one of four Pal tracks:
- HP
- Attack
- Defence
- Work Speed
Each track goes to rank 20. Every rank is +3% on that track, so a maxed track is +60%. Condenser stars and Awakening stack on top for combat; Work Speed only gets the Soul multiplier from this statue path.
- Ranks 1-4 spend Small Pal Souls (1, then 2, then 3, then 4).
- Ranks 5-7 spend Medium Pal Souls (1, then 2, then 3).
- Ranks 8-10 spend Large Pal Souls (1, then 2, then 3).
- Ranks 11-20 spend Giant Pal Souls (1, then 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, then four ranks of 4).
- One maxed track costs 10 Small, 6 Medium, 6 Large, and 30 Giant Pal Souls. Four maxed tracks multiply that by four.
How to get Pal Souls
Small Pal Soul
- Reliable Pal drops: Wistella (3-5), Wispaw (2), Hoodle (1-2), Bakemi, and Nitemary always drop Smalls.
- Lower rates: Nox (40%), Maraith (15%), plus rare rows on Felbat, Cawgnito, Daedream, and Finsider lines.
- Also from early camps, Windswept Island / Crescent Moon Shore expeditions, fishing, field loot, and early treasure chests.
Medium Pal Soul
- Strong Pal drops: Menasting Terra (2-3), Menasting (1-2), Sootseer, Wixen Noct, Nitemary Botan, and Smokie Cryst.
- Camps and expeditions in Desiccated Dunes, Mount Obsidian, and Astral Mountains print Mediums while you travel.
- Sealed Realm of Terraria treasure can roll Mediums if you are already clearing that dungeon.
Large Pal Soul
- Late legendary and boss-tier Pals always drop Larges: Anubis, Astegon, Dualith / Dualith Noct, Frostallion Noct, Necromus, Paladius, Shadowbeak, Sekhmet, Shaolong, Ophydia, Tetroise, and more.
- Rayne Syndicate Oil Rig chests: about 28% for 1 Large Pal Soul.
- Hard expeditions in Astral Mountains, Sakurajima, and similar late biomes return Large stacks (often 5-11).
Oil Rig clears also bank Lotuses and Crude Oil on the same runs.
Oil Rig clear guideGiant Pal Soul
- Predators always drop Giants (often 1-4 depending on the Predator). Pair with Predator Core farming.
- World Tree legends: Aegidron, Dandilord, Panthalus, and Silvance always drop 1 Giant.
- Rayne Syndicate Platform Oil Rig: about 31% for 1 Giant Pal Soul.
- Hard expeditions on Feybreak, Sakurajima, Sunreach, and Foot of the World Tree return Giant stacks.
Predator Core routes also print Giant Pal Souls on the same kills.
Predator Cores guideExpeditions print Souls while you play elsewhere.
Expeditions guideBest farming methods
- Early ranks: farm Wistella / Wispaw / Hoodle for Smalls until Attack and HP hit rank 4 on your main fighter.
- Mid ranks: clear Menasting packs and desert / volcano camps for Mediums while you push story.
- Late ranks: Predator loops for Giants, plus Platform Oil Rig clears and World Tree expeditions.
- Do not craft Souls. No shop sells them. Treat chests and expeditions as bonus, not the only plan.
Check every Small Pal Soul source, including habitat Pals.
Small Pal Soul itemRecommended spend order (new 1.0 character)
- Player first: grab Lifmunk and movement Effigies so Capture Power and travel feel good. See the Effigies guide for the full track list.
- First combat Pal: raise Attack, then HP, then Defence on the Pal you actually fight with. Leave Work Speed for base mains.
- Stop a combat Pal around ranks 8-10 (Large Souls) until Giant farms are online. Dump early Giants into that same fighter, not a bench warmer.
- Base workers: Work Speed Souls on your forever Kindling / Handiwork / Transport slots once combat ranks are comfortable.
- Trust and Kinship Fruits are a separate permanent Pal bond track. Souls do not replace Trust.
Trust Levels and Kinship Peach / Little Kinship Peach farms.
