Dominating lane waves in Valve's Deadlock is only half the battle. Discover how to weave between neutral jungle creep camps, secure the game-deciding Soul Urn, and maintain 850+ Souls Per Minute.
At exactly 1:00 minute, Tier 1 neutral camps spawn near your lane base zipline. Push your lane creep wave into the enemy guardian, zip into the camp, burst the 3 small creeps with melee and basic abilities, and return to lane before the next wave arrives.
At 7:00 minutes, Tier 2 (Medium) and Tier 3 (Hard) camps activate. Hard camps provide massive soul bounties (345+ souls) plus Ability Point orbs. Use heavy melee attacks to parry large neutral creep attacks and avoid damage.
The Soul Urn spawns alternately on the Yellow or Purple lane exterior map borders at 10:00. Designate your tankiest hero (e.g. Abrams or Warden) to carry the urn, while your damage dealers clear the escort path across mid.
Deposit the Urn into the opposing drop-off circle. This grants 25% bonus souls to your entire 6-player team and awards 1 bonus Ability Point to the carrier, immediately unlocking tier-3 ultimate abilities.

Yes! Approximately 50% of souls from neutral creeps fly into the air as floating orbs. You must shoot these soul orbs immediately to confirm the bounty before an enemy sniper (like Vindicta or Grey Talon) denies them.
The carrier is marked on the minimap and cannot attack. Converge on the drop-off circle, ambush the carrier with crowd-control abilities, and eliminate them to reset the Urn.
