The '''Soul Urn''', also known as '''Spirit Urn, Soul Jar''' or '''Spirit Jar''', is an objective that spawns at the {{#var:First_spawn_time}}-minute mark and respawns in {{#var:Respawn_time}}-minute intervals.

The soul urn spawns next to the bridge in either Yellow or Green Lane.

 

The drop-off point is on the opposite side of the map to the urn spawn. If the urn hasn't been picked up in 3 minutes, it will start walking on its own to the drop-off.

* They get a bonus of +3.5 m/s [[Move Speed]] (capped at 15 m/s max), +2m/s [[Sprint Speed]], +1 [[Stamina]], +10% Dash Distance, +15% Stamina Regen, and have 100% [[Slow Resistance]].

** If they're on the trailing team, the courier also gets up to +{{MiscData|citadel_idol_cashin|ComebackAuraModifier|modifierProvidedByAura|ScriptValues|1|value}}% [[Damage Resistance|Bullet, Spirit]], and [[Debuff Resist]] and +5m/s Sprint Speed (along with the default +2m/s). These buffs scale based on how behind the team is in souls (up to 15%).

** Sending an ability through the doors also makes the courier drop it.

* {{HeroIcon|Mirage}} drops the urn if he uses {{AbilityIcon|Traveler}}.

* {{HeroIcon|Viscous}} drops the urn if he uses {{AbilityIcon|Goo Ball}}.

* {{HeroIcon|Rem}} and {{HeroIcon|Mo & Krill}} using {{AbilityIcon|Burrow}} cannot enter [[vent]]s.

[[Melee Attack|Melee attacks]] (light or heavy) and [[Melee Damage]] abilities from enemy Players (or [[NPCs]]), and any [[Status_Effects|stun]] source will force the courier to drop the urn. If the urn is left on the ground, it will wait indefinitely if there are enemies of the last courier's team in a 40m radius, or for 13s if there are only ally players in that radius. Once either this timer runs out or all players leave the 40m radius, it cannot be picked up anymore and will run back to its spawn point.

'''Note:''' The Soul Urn's soul value is determined at the moment it spawns. Holding onto the urn for longer durations does not increase its value.

If the urn hasn't been delivered in 45s, it will start decaying in value for another 45s, until its value reaches zero and it expires. This is indicated by the "delivering the urn" text turning red and counting down.

* {{#var:Second_spawn_time}}-minute Urn: {{Souls|{{#expr:{{DataProp|Convar|citadel_crate_reward_base}}+({{DataProp|Convar|citadel_crate_reward_time_multiplier}}*{{#var:Second_spawn_time}})}}}} Souls

* 30-minute Urn: {{Souls|{{#expr:{{DataProp|Convar|citadel_crate_reward_base}}+({{DataProp|Convar|citadel_crate_reward_time_multiplier}}*30)}}}} Souls

The courier also receives 4 random [[Golden Statue]] buffs.

If the courier is on the trailing team, they get a soul bonus that scales based on game time and the team's soul deficit. It uses a growth rate of {{Souls|{{MiscData|citadel_idol_cashin|ComebackBounty}}}} Souls per minute.

** The Soul Urn has multiple unused voicelines referencing the Center Temple.

* In the [[Update:June 4, 2026|June 4, 2026]] update, the Soul Urn was reworked to start a King-of-the-Hill capture point mechanic when delivered. This was later reverted and separated into its own objective on [[Update:June 30, 2026|June 30, 2026]] as the [[Unstable Rift]].
