Lords of the Fallen Byron Full Questline Walkthrough

The Missing Pendant

You will first encounter Byron at Pilgrim's Perch, in front of the Vestige of Blind Agatha. At this point, he will not formally introduce himself yet. Instead, he will notice the Umbral Lamp that you're carrying. He informs you that if you ever end up earning a Vestige, he will tend to it. Vestiges are special markers that indicate where previous Lampbearers have fallen, as if telling the Deathless One of their inescapable fate.

He also mentions how the Rhogar and Hallowed Sentinels will show enough horror, but it will not come close to what the Umbral Lamp will bring. He also warns you of peering into the past, as the past may take hold of you. We believe that he means this literally, as enemies can attack you while treading the Umbral Realm. He wouldn't say much for now but the Deathless One will surely meet Byron in the near future.

Once you reach Forsaken Fen and activate the Vestige of Valade, you will find Byron standing next to it. He greets you in a manner that is friendly while jesting that he's hoping that your march onwards is not for glory, as you wouldn't find it in Mournstead. He is also against the Hallowed Sentinels and he believes that they're no better than the Rhogar. Byron will point out your affiliation with Orius, and the Umbral Lamp that was granted to you.

Byron knows that the Umbral Lamp is a powerful tool, and sweet temptation as that may be, he reminds you not to confuse it with loyalty, or rather permanence. It appears that Byron has a first-hand experience with the Umbral Lamp as he was grateful to the Umbral Lamp for what it had done for him, without indicating it specifically, and so he said he would mind the Vestiges for as long as he's around. Byron appears grateful for the Umbral Lamp, Orius, and his power but is still wary of its presence. Then, he will finally introduce himself.

After a long journey from Forsaken Fen, you will encounter an enraged Byron at Sunless Skein next to the Vestige of Catrin. He explains that this Vestige marks where Catrin fell, who was once a Lampbearer, and his lover. Byron shares a piece of his life, the time when he and Catrin were once Hallowed Sentinels and fell in love with each other (this explains why he said before that they are no better than the Rhogar). A love between the Hallowed Sentinels is forbidden, so when the order found out about their relationship, they paid for their "sin" with agony. 

Byron and Catrin were sentenced to death by the order, but it was only Catrin's heart that had stopped, but not for long, because of the Umbral Lamp. Catrin was able to live life again as a Lampbearer for a while. Eventually, she stopped coming back to the realm of the living, and the Vestige was put in place to mark her true death in Sunless Skein. He will then ask you to report to him if you find any trace of the Missing Pendant. This conversation with Byron will give you 1x Bemoaning Gesture.

Find the Thief

You will find Catrin's Pendant in the inventory of a Merchant named Winterberry. Winterberry can initially be found in the tunnels in Revelation Depths. After defeating the Skinstealer Boss, take the Drainage Control Key from them and return to the Revelation Depths. The key will be used to reduce the water level in the cistern and give you access to the depths where Winterberry is located.

NOTE: Don't use the elevator after defeating the Skinstealer. If you reach Upper Calrath without informing Byron of Winterberry's true intention, then Byron will move near the Vestige of the Forgotten Guardian while Winterberry disappears from your world forever, leaving her bloody backpack behind. When this happens, Byron ends up killing Winterberry while thinking that he killed the monster. When you find what remains of Winterberry, you will have the option to reveal to Byron the truth or stay silent about it and let him believe that he killed the "monster" who took the pendant.

Return to the Revelation Depths once again and use the ladder that's tucked between two stairs. The area below is filled with water in the Axiom Realm, so before going down, cross over the Umbral Realm to pass through here. Below, you will find a withered cave filled with enemies. Stay on the main path while looking out for the doorway on the right side and make use of the ladder to go up and interact with the Emergence Effigy to return to the Axiom Realm. Use the Drainage Control Key next to the effigy to gain access to the lever which will reduce the water level down in the cistern.

After that, return to the middle of the cistern where the water was drained. Look down and locate an area where you can jump off on top of wooden crates that form a bridge to reach the other side. Then, go through the doorway with a skeleton marking this location. This will lead you back into the tunnels, and back into the cave, where you will find more wooden bridges and lit torches. Your goal is to reach the opposite wall of the cave, and you must pass through the wooden bridge at the end of the narrow path and then tread the other side.

Make a right on the doorway where an enemy is strategically placed at the corner, waiting to ambush players. Walk past the lit brazier and jump down at the end of the platform. Stay on the main path and keep walking until you find an Umbral Flowerbed. At this point, your journey will become more difficult and we recommend using a Vestige Seed here.

Keep exploring the left path where you see a wooden scaffolding and a tall wooden structure. Walk past the elevator and defeat the enemies that you will come across. Follow the path leading below and when you reach the cave section again, make a U-turn, and take the ladder to go down. Cross the wooden bridge marked by a lit wooden torch, and stay on this path until you reach the end. There's another ladder for you to use to head to the depths.

Next, look for the hidden section on the right side. When you reach the broken bridge area, backtrack to where you see the wooden crates that are blocking the entrance. You can easily destroy it by rolling over it, or you can also attack it since there are enemies lurking here. Head inside the narrow path and this will take you to a location with white sacs growing from the ceiling and on the ground. 

Keep to your right and watch out for the loot at the end of the wooden bridge, you may be tempted to pick this up, but beware of the deceitful Ravenous Fascinator. They will attack you if you try to pick up the loot. You can use your Umbral Lamp on them to force them to retreat and use soulflay. Jump to the other side and follow the path on your right. At the end of this, kick down the wooden bridge to use it. You're so close to finally meeting Winterberry, so stay on this path.

On the other side of the bridge, there is an archer here that will attack you on sight. Eliminate them and proceed to the area behind them. You will see lit candles in front of a skeleton in the distance and this marks that you are on the right track. Break down the wooden walls on the right to reveal the path to Winterberry by rolling over it. Keep walking until you reach the end to see a small figure sitting next to a makeshift tent.

When you find Winterberry and discover that Catrin's Pendant is not for sale, this encounter will give you 1x Celebration Gesture. When you return to Byron at Sunless Skein to report your findings, he will surrender and say that Winterberry is not a monster, and will relent on punishing the thief who took Catrin's Pendant. This will cause both of them to move into the crypt at Skyrest Bridge, and Winterberry will become available as a Merchant again. You can trigger this movement by going back to the elevator where you fought the Skinstealer and then using the elevator to reach Upper Calrath. They will both then move to the Skyrest Bridge.

Look for the duo at the bridge within the crypt, the same area where you destroyed Umbral Tumors to Free the Tortured Prisoner. They are located at the bottom of the spiral stairs. When you get to Skyrest Bridge, speak with Byron about his plans. He will reveal that he wants to seek peace and will take Winterberry under his protection while letting her keep the pendant. This will give you 1x Umbral Eye of Ethryg as a reward. It will be a good idea to exhaust Byron's dialogues as this will cause his armor set and 1x Byron's Shovel to be available for purchase in Winterberry's expanded inventory. Make sure to rest at a Vestige to refresh the progress if you don't see the following items in Winterberry's expanded inventory:

• Byron's Shovel
• Byron's Cap
• Byron's Garb
• Byron's Sleeves
• Byron's Trousers

If you missed some of these steps, you will end up having to tell Byron the truth, after he killed Winterberry. You can do this after discovering her backpack down in the depths and this will prompt him to disappear from the world forever and leave behind Byron's Shovel and Catrin's Pendant on a rocky path on the edge of a precipice in the Manse of the Hallowed Brothers. You will also find a nearby stigma that reveals the relationship between Byron and Catrin.
