Blood Soul is a Triple Triad card in Final Fantasy VIII used to play the minigame and for turning into items with Quezacotl's Card Mod. Blood Soul is the ninth card in the inventory, a basic Level 1 Monster Card.
Being a Level 1 card, the card values on the Blood Soul are not strong, though it has a 6 at the bottom, the highest value for a Level 1 card; it has the same values as the Red Bat card. Its value placement may be useful for games that use Same and/or Plus.
Obtain[]
The Blood Soul monster has a 3.5% chance to drop the card. Using the Card command on a Blood Soul has a 93.7% chance to procure a Blood Soul card when it succeeds.
Any AI Triple Triad player who uses Level 1 cards has a chance of using Blood Soul in a play, from where the player can win it in a card match.
Card Mod[]
A Blood Soul card refines into a Zombie Powder with Quezacotl's Card Mod ability. It can be used to make Zombie spells after the player learns the Status Magic Refiner ability on Siren; collecting Blood Soul cards and making them into Zombie Powder is the earliest way to get the spell.
