Hidden Souls?

[Sabin]

I see plenty of rooms on the map with a question mark labelled "Hidden Souls", but I'm completely stumped on how to find them. I've killed all enemies inside the rooms, searched everywhere I can, but nothing.. no souls. Whereas in other rooms I get a souls pinata when I've finished killing all enemies on screen.

Is something missing? Perhaps a late-game upgrade or ability to "see" hidden souls? Thanks!

Each room has its own way to make "hidden souls" appear. Further in the game there is a skill that helps in those rooms where making them appear deppends on a specific place.

Finding all souls from a specific area is rewarded with a new "frame" with unique powers.

If you don't mind a bit of spoilers - here are some triggers:
※Some rooms have breakable parts of wall. Those so far rewarded me with "geek" items
※In some rooms you need to possess oddly/conveniently placed enemy bot
※Dunno if it's a room specific trigger, but one of early game vertical rooms required you to drop down from room above it

Could we assemble a list of those triggers xD? I don't want to do the first Boss until I cleared out the area. Compeltely from Hidden Souls.
I found a Soul by just going to the edge of a room.

That would be really help full.

So far I've seen the following:

-- Touching a specific area
-- Entering the room through a previously locked door
-- Shooting a weakened spot in the wall

there's also killing all enemies (possibly completeing an alert?(

i got one for falling through a platform, or pushing down through it more exactly.

i dont know if touching an area is how i would call it. i would think of it as exploring the room. it seems like after u look in all the corners some times it pops souls???

progressing through the game and then coming back through back paths like those pipe trails will normally get u souls when u enter the room.

and i have gotten them for killing everythign in the room.

few others but everyone seems to be agreeing on most of them anyway

Enter ghost mode while alarm state actively in the room It worked for me once.
P.S. Sorry for my english.

One of the rooms in the greenhouse released souls when I used a healing item during the battle inside. Or maybe it was a coincidence and something else happened.

So basically it's all just guess work? No real clues in each of the rooms? Just try random ♥♥♥♥ until you get bored and say ♥♥♥♥ it?

I played until I beat the first boss last night and have enjoyed it, but I only got the souls from about 4 rooms, all the rest of the rooms say "hidden souls". Running back to each room and touching all the corners, in the hope that maybe it will do something, just sounds incredibly tedious...
How about shooting the walls, do I need a certain gun? I tried shooting a bunch of walls with the basic gun yesterday but nothing happened.

Ah so looking at the pictures you basically have to touch the most hard to reach place in the room. Thanks!

Some of them have more specific requirements, mind you.

I feel that the feature would be a lot more meaningful if there were hints as to what to do for each room or some way to figure it out beyond sheer trial and error. As it stands, it's more tedious than anything.
