The Soul Vortex location in Derelict on Roblox is in the Feeding Grounds, a sub-region within the Desolate Valley. According to the Derelict Official Wiki, the ability scroll is obtained right next to a rock within the Feeding Grounds area, stored inside an openable loot chest.
Derelict is an open-world action RPG developed by Scrambledly Studios on Roblox, featuring Soulslike combat, stamina management, and ability scrolls known as Weapon Arts and Spells.
Where to Find Soul Vortex
To locate and claim the Soul Vortex ability, navigate to the Feeding Grounds territory:
- Travel to the Desolate Valley zone and make your way toward the Feeding Grounds landmark.
- Search the terrain near the prominent rock formations in the area.
- Locate the treasure chest resting beside the rock.
- Interact with the chest to loot the Ancient Arts scroll for Soul Vortex.
Because chests throughout the world of Derelict are one-time pickups that do not restock, you only need to clear the area and open the container once per character.
