Lords of the Fallen Full Abbey of the Hallowed Sisters Walkthrough

Breaking the Rules

After clearing Tower of Penance, you can now go back to the Manse of the Hallowed Brothers and head to the little garden where you can find Stomund, Captain of the Fidelis. If you haven't talked to him before yet, he'll say a thing or two about how men were forbidden to enter the Abbey of the Hallowed Sisters, at least before the whole ordeal began to occur that shook up Mournstead. He'll say he'll have to break the rules now, as he has faith that Judge Cleric is not aware of the sacrilegious acts of the rest of the Hallowed Sentinels, and so must be appraised and consulted to put an end to the madness. If you chose to be male for this playthrough, so will you.

Head up the stairs to the broken bridge, and then proceed on the path below. When you emerge out of the long tunnel, you'll find a Sin Piercer patrolling with her Radiant Hounds. The path in front of you ends with a Seething Vigor Skull. Up the stairs to the left will be a Stigma you can Soulflay in after transitioning to Umbral. You'll witness a sentinel turning away someone seeking refuge, in the name of Judge Cleric herself. Keep going up past some Thorned Penitents to officially enter the Abbey of the Hallowed Sisters.

 

Turned Away by Abbess Ursula

You'll immediately find yourself in a large courtyard guarded by Abbess Ursula, possibly the very sentinel you witness in the Stigma. Immediately, she'll be firing Radiant lasers at you from the get-go, as long as she can see you. You'll want to rush and get to her as quickly as possible to try and nullify this long-ranged attack. After getting some hits in, expect her to teleport and reappear elsewhere in the courtyard.

She's not without some melee attacks though, so expect some swipes from her large staff. She'll also start to let loose some Radiant thorns that curl and grow through the ground. You'll want to anticipate those and steer clear but also look closely for opportunities to get string some combos in and deal damage. This fight shouldn't be too hard as she's generally frail and will stagger easily if you're able to hit her consecutively. When you defeat her, you'll be rewarded with the Abbess Staff, Weeping Abbess Mitre, and a Vestige Seed.

Head up the stairs and transition to Umbral if you aren't already to Soulflay and Umbral Belly for an Enhanced Accusing Spirit. Continue up the stairs to the next landing and pick up the Large Manastone Clusters and Ammunition Satchels guarded by a lone Radiant Hound. Continue further up the stairs to the next landing where you can find and activate the Vestige of Rosamund. Right beside it will be Thehk-Ihir. Talk to him to get a short history lesson about the Abbey of the Hallowed Sisters, and then you'll be able to peruse his wares as necessary. You'll find two Large Deralium Shards behind the wall to the right of the Vestige, under some breakable objects.

The large gate to the right of Thehk-Ihir is impassable. When you're ready, enter the doorway past Thehk-Ihir to the left and move forward. Right as you enter, expect an attack from an Ardent Penitent waiting on your left. You can pick up two Animated Vigor Skulls from the corpses by the barred door. Continue forward and up the stairs to find an Umbral Parasite-empowered Sin Piercer and her Radiant Hound. Transition to Umbral to Soulflay the target behind her to get rid of the vines.

The tunnel past it will be filled with Remnants and Shrouded Remnants, as well as large red bulges that will explode with proximity. Navigate safely through and find your way out of the long tunnel. When you emerge out of the rubble, you'll find a path up some stairs ahead of you, and a path going down to the right. There's an Emergence Effigy at the foot of the left statue on the first landing of the stairs ahead of you if you need it. The path down leads to the large gate past the Vestige of Rosamund and will yield more Ammunition Satchels and Large Manastone Clusters. You can pull the lever on the left to raise the gate and open a shortcut back to the Vestige should you need it.

Head back up the path and then climb the stairs this time. If you haven't dealt with them already, there'll be another Sin Piercer and her Radiant Hound patrolling here. At the next landing, you'll be facing another such pair, in addition to a Scourged Sister. The breakable stacks of barrels behind her are hiding a Seething Vigor Skull. Continue up the stars to find a chest containing Weighted Arrows and more Ammunition Pouches. Be ready for the Ardent Penitent waiting to charge you at the top of the stairs past the chest. The gate it was guarding can't be opened from your side for now so continue into the structure to the left.

As you head down you'll find yourself in another large courtyard. This one will be filled with multiple Enemies, led by a Receiver of Sacred Resonance. When it's safe to do so, you can transition to Umbral and Soulflay the Stigma near the tree to witness someone giving a speech as she's initiated into the Hallowed Sentinels. You'll get two Umbral Scourings for doing so. Nearby, you can find the Hallowed Sentinel Prayer Gesture on the ground under the tree, near the foot of the stairs you came down on.

If you head out the side of the courtyard that looks like a terrace, you'll find a chest on the far left containing another two Ammunition Pouches and an Enhanced Grenade. On the other side will be a closed door you can bypass if you're still in Umbral. After you enter it and turn right, you can find a platform on the left that extends past the terrace. Following the ledge to the right, you'll find a ladder beside a large hanging bell. At the top, head to the right and look down to Soulflay a target that'll bring out another platform back in the lower level. Head back down and move forward to get on the platform on your left past the terrace fence. Look above you both on the right and left sides and Soulflay both targets to bring out a bridge on the upper level. Head back up there through the previous ladder and cross it. Be careful of the Womb of Despair that may ambush you as you do.

Across, head down the ladder that's a bit easy to miss. Get back on the path of the terrace and continue forward. Soulflay the Umbral Belly to get the Putrid Child Arm Wrappings, Putrid Child Robes, Putrid Child Mask, and Putrid Child Leg Wrappings. Follow the path all the way back to the courtyard to find an Emergence Effigy right as you step foot in it. Run along the walls of the courtyard on your left to find the stairs to progress forward.

At the top, you'll essentially be on the upper floors around the courtyard. There's a path on your right blocked by breakable objects. The path itself is also littered with breakable objects. At the start of the path is an Umbral Flowerbed you can use. As you follow the path, you'll find Stomund, Captain of the Fidelis again, in the middle. If you talk to him, he'll tell you the story of the large tree in the middle of the courtyard. There used to be an important banner that hung on it, and he'll ask you to return any pieces of it that you can find. You can give him the Damaged Standard which you found in the Manse of the Hallowed Brothers, as well as the Tattered Banner which you can find as a drop after killing an Abbess here in the Abbey. You can look at his wares for any new Items and Equipment he might be selling.  At the end of this path, there's another Ardent Penitent waiting to attack you behind some breakable objects to your right. At the end of the hall is the Heretical Sentinel's Hammer.

Head back to the Umbral Flowerbed now and take the other path. At the top of the stairs, you'll find another Scourged Sister-Sin Piercer duo. After dealing with them, you can break the breakable objects here and follow the path it opens up down to two Wither Salts in a bucket. Transition to Umbral here to find a gap in the corner of this rooftop. Before dropping down, look up toward the next building and Soulflay the target to bring out a platform above you. Drop down to the next rooftop and then turn left. Cross the vine of thorns to a narrow ledge and follow the path around to a ladder. Move forward at the top through the ledges and eventually hop onto the platform you brought out. You'll eventually get to a rooftop with some Shrouded Sparrows guarding the Unbridled Focus. Turn around and head to a platform on your left, opposite the item. Drop down onto another rooftop and then onto the path leading back to the Umbral Flowerbed. If you've planted a Vestige Seedling there, you can use it to rest and transition back to Axiom if you'd like.

Head back up to deal with the Scourged Sister-Sin Piercer duo again if you've rested. This time move forward and head down the stairs on your right first to pick up two Large Manastone Clusters and three Ammunition Satchels. At the foot of the stairs, you can unlock a shortcut gate, which was the locked gate behind an Ardent Penitent you couldn't open previously. Head back up and then climb the narrower stairs up this time. The gate won't be passable but you can transition to Umbral again to find a ledge to go around it. Be careful here 'cause an Abbess will be shooting radiant lasers at you from way farther up. On your right is another Wither Ward amidst the breakable objects, as well as a Soulflay target ahead of it that can bring out a bridge so you can have a little shortcut to flank all the Enemies on the other side if you want to. When you climb up the ladder, look to your right and Soulflay the target to bring the platform to you. Soulflay the next one as well to ride it across. On the other side, Soulflay the Umbral Belly to get the Enhanced Poison Javelin.

If you choose to head up the stairs to the left instead, you'll face a Sin Piercer first. On the next landing will be a Womb of Despair leading a couple of Remnants, Umbral Eggs, along with some Thorned Penitents. After you clear them out, you can pick up the Consecrate Spell from the shrine. The next section will have an Ardent Penitent and a Scourged Sister to deal with. Afterward, you can pick up The Toll from this altar in turn. Continue your way up to the bloodied fountain to deal with Radiant Hounds led by another Sin Piercer perched atop the stairs. When you get up there, you'll find two Large Deralium Shards in a crate. Move forward along the hall to finally get to the spot where the Abbess was shooting lasers at you from. The chest nearby will have the Multi-Shot Crossbow for you to claim.

At the end of the path, you'll be able to turn right into a structure. If you're still in Umbral, you'll also see some targets so Soulflay ahead of you. Do so on the target on the right to bring the platform to you, and then hop to the rooftops on your left first. Be careful of Umbral Enemies. From here, Soulflay the target that replaced the previous one you Soulflayed to bring out a short bridge. Afterward, Soulflay the target on the platform you moved previously to connect to the bridge and put the whole thing within your reach. Jump to it and follow the path to the Impious Nohuta's Ring guarded by a Bringer of Stillness. After picking the ring up, turn around and head down the path going down on your right. Keep going straight onto a rooftop with an Umbral Belly. Soulflay it to pick up the Umbral Eye of Blind Agatha.

Find your way back to where you started Soulflaying targets and head into the structure this time to find an Umbral Flowerbed you can use to plant a Vestige Seedling. Rest up and transition out of Axiom if you want to. The large gate ahead of you is closed off for now. When you're ready, head through the candle-lit doorway. Open the door following the bloody trail into a large hall. At the end of the hall, you'll find the Rune of Adyr. Interact with it to begin a Boss fight against the Rapturous Huntress of the Dusk, which The Iron Wayfarer will join you for, depending on whether or not you've progressed his Questline.

 

Two Against One with the Rapturous Huntress

This fight is honestly one of the easier ones. The Rapturous Huntress of the Dusk has a basic moveset of thrusts, swipes, and forward hits with her spear and shield combo. She can be nimble as she repositions but she can be interrupted easily whenever you can time your attacks in between hers. If you have The Iron Wayfarer with you in this fight, she succumbs quite easily to staggering in between onslaughts let loose by the two of you.

At about sixty percent health, just like Scourged Sister Delyth, she'll empower herself with Radiance and gain a halo around her head. Her attacks become more powerful and have a wider range. When she repositions, she now teleports instead of dashing, before throwing a Radiance-empowered spear. Fortunately, as long as you get to her and start her staggering with your attacks, her weaknesses evidently stay the same. Keep piling on the hits together with The Iron Wayfarer if he joins you. This effect is essentially tripled if you have a co-op partner; you can make it so that she has almost no chance to attack in between staggering, getting hit, or being made prone. Defeating her rewards you with the Sanctified Huntress Spear, Rapturous Huntress Helm, and a Vestige Seed. If The Iron Wayfarer joined you in the fight, he'll be taking the Rune of Adyr. Otherwise, you'll be able to obtain it yourself. An Umbral Flowerbed will be there in front of the spot where the Rune of Adyr used to sit.

 

To The Empyrean

On the left side facing the bloody statues, you'll find some stairs heading up to the upper floors of this hall. At the top, there's a Replete Vigor Skull on the corpse hanging on the ledge behind the divider on your left. Head the other way circling around the hall. The first opening you'll find on your right leads to an outside area where you'll encounter a Sin Piercer and her pack of Radiant Hounds. The item orb you'll find swaying if you turn left immediately as you exit will be a Ravenous Fascinator so Soulflay it instead of picking it up. Follow the stairs down to a Scourged Sister empowered by an Umbral Parasite. Transition to Umbral to bypass the small gate and then Soulflay the Umbral Belly to pick up a Saintly Quintessence.

Head back up now to the upper levels of the previous hall. If you need it, there's an Emergence Effigy on a corner to your left before you head back into the doorway. Turn right as you enter to head straight into a staircase heading further up. You should encounter another Sin Piercer and her Radiant Hounds. At the top of the stairs, you'll find the Lacerating Weapon Spell in front of a bloodied mural. There will also be an Umbral Flowerbed here on the floor across from that mural.

Head out the small doorway to an outside section to face a Holy Bulwark and a Sin Piercer. Follow the path down to some stairs and grab the two Large Deralium Shards on a corpse. Ignore the doorway on your right for now and climb down more steps to the left, past some Thorned Penitents, to two more Holy Bulwarks guarding a large gate. This large gate is actually the large gate past the Umbral Flowerbed right before the hall where you fought the Rapturous Huntress of the Dusk. When it's safe, pull the lever to raise the gate and create a little shortcut for yourself. Near the lever is a chest containing the Shield of Piercing Light.

Head back up the stairs and then enter the doorway this time. Keep heading up until you encounter another two Holy Bulwarks accompanied by another Sin Piercer. The item orb on the left is a Ravenous Fascinator so Soulflay it and don't pick it up. Continue up past some more Thorned Penitents and into a cavern leading to a tunnel. There's a Replete Vigor Skull by the statue at the entrance.

You'll eventually find a Stigma to Soulflay so transition to Umbral and do so. You'll witness Pieta arguing with a sentinel about going to see Judge Cleric about the devastation that the corruption has wrought on everyone in Mournstead. You'll get the usual two Umbral Scourings for doing so. Get through the tunnel past the Stigma to finally enter the singular lower floor of The Empyrean.
