Bramis Castle | Lords of the Fallen Wiki

Full Bramis Castle Walkthrough

Heading to the Outskirts

Bramis Castle is an enormous area to cover and before proceeding, make sure you allot an ample amount of time. We will be traversing the castle's outskirts and then its inner section. We will start from Skyrest Bridge and eventually will access Upper Calrath. It is worth noting that if tried to access Bramis Castle coming from the Vestige of the Forgotten Guardian, you will fail to do so since the wooden door is blocked. The players are expected to travel across Skyrest Bridge and then Upper Calrath. From the Vestige of Ethryg head to the location where you first fought Pieta, She of Blessed Renewal, remember the area where there is a huge gate that is locked and a small door near it? The smaller door is now opened and you can head through there. After heading through the door, you will find yourself in an area with a spiral staircase. Access the stairs and reach the upper parts of the area. Once you reach the upper parts, follow the straightforward path here that leads to a closed door with an Umbral Flowerbed in front of it. Near the flowerbed, there is a ladder that you can take to access the lower area that will lead you to an open gate and eventually through the castle's outskirts. Upon arriving in the area, you will notice the Beacon situated in the castle from this location.

Upper Calrath Section & Andreas' Stigma

Head through the plaza and you will notice that a Skinstealer is patrolling the area. Eliminate it and proceed to the next parts of the area. Head along to the plaza and you will notice there's a pathway to the right that leads you further. You are in the right place if you encounter A Raw Mangler, Infernal Enchantress, and Rhogar Hounds. Upon proceeding, you will notice that the path ahead is blocked by Umbral roots. Note that you can unblock it by soulflaying it later on.

Head to the tunnel first and it is advisable to plant a Vestige Seedling in here so you will have a checkpoint in this area. Access Umbral Rift and notice that to reach the blocked path or tunnel ahead, you need to soulflay a hidden platform for you to get across the hole. After doing so, soulflay the Umbral Roots blocking the huge tunnel ahead. Past the tunnel, you will notice that there set of stone staircases that you can cross to reach the lower area and find the Stigma. Soulflay the Stigma and witnessed the event where Andreas of Ebb was trying to investigate Rhogar Artefacts. After the event, receive x2 Umbral Scouring.

Converse with Andreas of Ebb

After the Stigma event, there's an Umbral Belly near the stigma. Soulflay it as well and receive an x1 Melted Dark Crusader Sword. Notice that there is also a platform that you can activate so you can reach the loot situated in the upper area. Near your location, there's a loot on the ground that you can pick up and receive a x2 Wither Salts. Since you've activated the platform, access the stone staircase once again and there is an opening that you can through and use the said platform and get an x1 Graveyard Fog. Head back to the Vestige Seedling you activated. We will now be traversing the tunnel. There is another Stigma in the tunnels. After soulflaying the Stigma it seems that a Dark Crusader was trying to force his way and killed a lot of civilians. The tunnel path will split into two, get the x1 Xiax lying on the ground and head to the path that leads you further into the tunnel.

The path will now split again into two and the other path leads to a dead end. A closed door that cannot be opened. Umbral Rift and you will notice that an Umbral Belly can be found. Soulflay it and receive an x1 Cursed Dart. Head to the other pathway that will lead you into an alley with a Stigma. Soulflay the Stigma and it turns out a man pleads with his life against an enemy. After witnessing the Stigma event, head to the nearest Emergence Effigy to return to Axiom. Talk to Andreas and he will mention that he is a man of his word. He will aid you in the upcoming battle. After talking to him, head to the nearest door and you will find yourself in a boss arena.

Unlocking Dark Crusader Class Questline Remarks

If you are on the quest to unlock the Dark Crusader class then it might be best to die on purpose on your first attempt. You have to summon the help of Paladin Isaac as the final step to complete it. Dying on purpose will not fail Andreas Ebb's quest.

Defeat The Lightreaper

It is time to settle the score with The Lightreaper. Players need to defeat this boss before they can proceed and enter Bramis Castle. The Lightreaper may be a challenging enemy for general players due to multiple phases that further increase his prowess. The Lightreaper is a tenacious foe, and it could require some time to bring this foe to submission. Like any other Boss in this game, he can be beaten by just studying his movesets and careful planning and timing. The Lightreaper resembles a regular Skinstealer and most of its attacks have similarities. He relies on this melee combination of attacks that are imbued with fire when on foot along with shockwaves that can inflict Ignite on his enemies. This enemy has a lot of movesets so taking your time studying this foe is advisable. Even though the Lightreaper looks intimidating at first, he is beatable. Most of these melee attacks have a slow wind-up time that you can exploit to inflict damage. When mounted, the Lightreaper will use his dragon to breathe fire upon you from mid-air. You can easily avoid this attack by simply knowing which direction the dragon will go and running in the direction that the trail of fire will not hit you.

The most challenging part of this battle is his ability to deal more damage after lowering his HP under a certain threshold. When you successfully lower his health under 70 to 80%, he will buff himself and his attacks will hit harder. However, lowering his health to under the 50% HP threshold, he will imbue his swords with the Fire element. His normal attacks will now deal Fire damage while his shockwave attacks will still inflict Ignite on his targets. Beating the Lightreaper as mentioned is no easy task however not far from impossible. As mentioned, almost all of his attacks suffer from a slow wind-up time and this is the best chance for you to deal damage to him. For example, when he mounts his dragon, after doing the fire breath attacks from mid-air, he will use his dragon to slam the ground. Time in your rolls and this attack will you ample amount of time to deal at least 2 to 4 swings. When on foot, be mindful of his delayed attacks and premature rolls can lead you to death. Be patient, observe what attack he will do, and go from there. Do not be greedy as it will not work here. If you are having difficulties defeating this boss, we have prepared a dedicated Bosses page. This page has a lot of useful information on how to defeat certain bosses.

Kukajin's Questline Remarks

Note that if you progressed Kukajin's Questline and she already offered her services to aid you, you can summon her before fighting The Lightreaper. After the fight, players need to pay her 8500 Vigor.

Soulflay Lightreaper's Stigma

This is going to be a regular NPC fight so taking him out wouldn't be an issue but do not let your guard down. Andreas tends to deal with multiple attack combinations along with sword thrust. The only issue that we are seeing here is the tight space that you are in. Don't let him corner you. After trading blows with him and successfully beating him, receive the following rewards. x1 Andreas of Ebb's Sword, x1 Vestige Seed, x1 Andreas of Ebb's Book of Lineage, x1 Andreas of Ebb's Ring, Andreas of Ebb's Leggings, and x1 Andreas of Ebb's Sleeves.

Defeat the Iron Wayfarer

After beating Andreas, let's proceed by heading to the entrance where Andreas was located. Follow the pathway until you see a stone bridge that leads to a barricaded door. Before confronting the next boss, notice that there is an Umbral Tumor blocking the door that leads to the Vestige of the Forgotten Guardian. Access Umbral first and Soulflay the Umbral Entity to unlock the door. Now you can access the bell lift again that leads to Cistern or access the Vestige to recuperate. Approaching the bridge will trigger a battle with The Iron Wayfarer. Yes, another mini-boss that we should take care of. Same thing with Andreas, this is an NPC battle so eliminating the Iron Wayfarer is not hard to do. His main attacks are hammer combos imbued with fire. Be cautious of getting caught by his attack combinations. He can also rush towards his target so take note of this. After beating The Iron Wayfarer, receive the following rewards, x1 The Iron Wayfarer's Hammer, x1 Vestige Seed, and x1 Rune of Adyr.

Boss Remarks

After acquiring and giving the Rune of Adyr to a non-hostile remnant in Mother's Lull, it will transform into the Withered Rune of Adyr.

After defeating the enemies, proceed and not for long, stumble upon a x1 Seething Vigor Skull. Ready for battle as we will be engaging another mini-boss in this area.

We are going to fight another NPC in this game thus it shouldn't be too much of an issue to Damarose out. Her main gimmick is the runes that she can summon. She can summon multiple runes at a time and these runes can cast fire magic projectiles around her. Roll or run away from her when the rune glows. Aside from that, she imbues her weapon with Fire. Her melee attacks are rather slow so take this to your advantage. In a short amount of time, she will fall and receive the following rewards, x1 Damarose's Cleaver and x1 Vestige Seed.

It is a Ravenous Fascinator so skip it for now. Not for long, you will find yourself in a wide arena and a cutscene will play.

Defeat the Sundered Monarch

No wonder the arena has an ample amount of space. The Sundered Monarch is the next Colossal Boss that we need to defeat. This boss can be intimidating most of the time due to its size. Its size is one of its great strengths however its greatest downfall as well. Capable of dealing with wide-swiping attacks and can slam players into the ground. Even though it is slow The Sundered Monarch can close its gap in its target by leaping. its main weapons are its body and bare fist. Also, it is capable of throwing projectiles at its target. However, when the player manages to lower The Sundered Monarch's health below 80%, it will equip itself with the head of the stone statue that it used to gaze upon in the cutscene.

From here on out, its attacks will have a point-blank AOE shockwave that can easily hit its targets. When The Sundered Monarch reaches below 50% it will buff itself and it is now capable of releasing a rain of swords from its body that can hit its target in the surrounding area. As mentioned, its biggest downfall is its speed. Even though it can cover a wide range when dealing with tremor attacks, one can simply master the timing and completely dodge these attacks. Be patient and be mindful of its delayed attacks. Untimely rolls may cause death or severe damage to your character. Always check its body as well if it glows, this means that it will release its AOE sword projectiles. On the other hand, you will notice right away if it will throw projectiles at you if it pauses for a short amount of time and cover its face with its arm.
