Life is Strange: True Colorsis a narrative adventure that follows Alex Chen on her journey to solve the mystery of her brother’s death. It can get emotional, which fits right in with Alex’s empathic powers, but it can also be a blast. This is on full display during the LARP section in Chapter 3.
Alex accompanies Ethan inLife is Strange: True Colorson a fantasy adventure through Haven Springs, which Steph has transformed. Their quest is to find 3 Soul Gems, but it’s not immediately obvious where they are or how to obtain them.
Where to Find the Soul Gems in Life is Strange: True Colors
Soul Gem 1
The first gem is found in the Black Lantern/Gullweather’s Tavern. Alex and Ethan are greeted by a bloody sight and can talk to Duckie behind the bar. Make sure to useAlex’s powers inLife is Strange: True Colorsto read his thoughts and choose the option ‘Drinking Behind the Bar?’.
Keep Duckie’s secret, and in return, he will give her a bell that will be important for the second gem. There are a few places the duo can search for the first gem, but it is actually located in the Music Box with the ornate dragon behind the bar.
Soul Gem 2
The second gem is on sale at the record store/Magpie Emporium, but Alex and Ethan will first have to defeat the ‘snake.’ It is located at the end of the alleyway next to the Silver Dragon Dispensary. To make the encounter quick and easy, use the bell that Duckie gave Alex at the tavern.
Pick up the fish scale that Ryan drops and head to the record store. Players can flirt here if they want toromance Steph inLife is Strange: True Colors. Look at the wares on Steph’s table and choose the Soul Gem at the top right. Alex can now exchange the fish scale to purchase it.
