The Soul Gargoyle is an item received which grants access to Merasmissions. This item is obtained by logging on to Team Fortress 2 anytime during the Scream Fortress 2015 Halloween event. It also provides access to the Halloween Transmute feature. The Soul Gargoyle returned during the Scream Fortress 2016 Halloween event.

Leveling Up

The gargoyle starts at Stone quality and is leveled up with souls collected. Current quality of the gargoyle will appear on the scoreboard next to the player's name. A player can receive souls by killing or assisting in killing players, completing map objectives such as capturing a Control Point or pushing the Payload or by finding and collecting a soul gargoyle that appears at random throughout the event.
