Open the Doors

The game begins with a cutscene of the previously-tasked Crusader casting out the Umbral Lamp onto the Defiled Sepulchre before dying to a powerful Enemy. Players will then be able to go through Character Creation and choose their Dark Crusader's Class. You'll then open your eyes at the exact spot where the Umbral Lamp fell, and someone will greet you as you awaken, and grant you a gift. He'll talk of an important mission that you must carry out with this gift and tell you to meet him at the depths of Skyrest. Afterward, you'll get up and finally have full control of the Dark Crusader.

Head up the stairs and move forward. You'll have to make a U-turn and then destroy the obstacles with attacks or dodge roll through them to encounter your first Enemy, the Corrupted Penitent. After making quick work of it, you'll reach a fork. Grab the Enervated Vigor Skull in some water to the left, and then progress to the right. You'll enter a doorway while being taught how to lock on to targets and switch between them as you fight. Upstairs, hit the vines, and then don't follow the tutorial and drop down the gap first to pick up the Forsworn Armour Tinct. Cross the fallen pillars back and find your way back up to the gap. Sprint forward and then jump over this time. Just keep heading along the path and follow the tutorials to defeat the Enemies you'll encounter.

Eventually, you'll be given a tutorial on using your Umbral Lamp to reveal how the area looks in the Umbral realm. Use your Umbral Lamp near the door to reveal a figure on it with a large eye, which is an Umbral Tumor barring you from opening it. Instead, follow the path to the right first to reach a closed gate. Use your Umbral Lamp to move past it. and move forward until you reach a short bridge. Following the tutorial, transition to Umbral to reveal large hands that extend the wooden bridge, allowing you to cross over, grabbing the three Wither Wards on the corpse as you go.

While in Umbral, there will be points marked by a distinct blue marker. This indication means you can use Soulflay on them by using your Umbral Lamp. Drop down to the left of where you got the Wither Wards to Soulflay the target. Drop down to the lower platform it was blocking off, and then drop down again onto a path. Follow that path down and follow the tutorial to Soulflay the Corrupted Penitent.

Afterward, head up the slope and Soulflay the next target to move forward. Follow the path and complete the subsequent tutorials. Soulflay the Umbral Belly to pick up the Saintly Quintessence. Move forward to the end of the path to get a tutorial on executing a plunge attack. Head up the path to eventually reach some Umbral Eggs blocking your way, along with information regarding the fact that you'll face more dangerous Enemies the longer you stay in Umbral. Destroy the Umbral Eggs to have a couple of Remnants come out for you to defeat. Behind them will also be a Shrouded Remnant who'll join the fight, depending on how long you've been in Umbral.

Continue up the path and then up the ladder. Proceed past the hole and you'll find a dead end. Hang a right to reach a ledge outside. To your left will be the target that will disintegrate the Umbral Tumor on the door if you Soulflay it. Do so and then head toward the dead end to find it open now and proceed past it. At the end of the path, you'll find an Emergence Effigy which you can interact with to exit Umbral and transition back to Axiom, which is the normal realm. Once you're back, there'll be some stairs on your left where the effigy was. Head down and follow the path to find a Corrupted Penitent and then jump down to reach the door. Open it to officially finish your tutorial through the Defiled Sepulchre, and enter the Abandoned Redcopse.

After walking out the large doors to exit the Defiled Sepulchre, you'll immediately find the Vestige of Ranik. Activate it to get a Desiccated Vestige Moth, upgrade your character if you want to, and then head down the path. Pick up Tacitus' Journal and the Map of Mournstead from the corpse you'll pass by. As you reach the damp open area you'll get a tutorial on blocking, parrying, and Grevious Strikes. When you're ready, step forward and start your first Boss fight against Holy Bulwark Otto.

After defeating him, a cutscene will ensue as the smiling Enemy who killed the previous lamp bearer finds you and demands the lamp. This will start yet another Boss fight against The Lightreaper, atop a large three-headed creature. However, after just one or two hits, you'll find yourself dying. As your Enemy tries to loot you, someone steps forward and intervenes before you resurrect at the Vestige of Ranik.

Head back down and reclaim the Vigor you lost. From the battlefield, head to the left and then turn right at the fork to find a Flayed Skin at the end of the path in Axiom. If you head back to the fork and head along the path you didn't take, you'll find a Corrupted Pilgrim empowered by an Umbral Parasite. Follow the tutorial and defeat them. At the end of the path sits the Map of Abandoned Redcopse.

Use your Umbral Lamp to transition to Umbral here and Soulflay as necessary to cross to the other side. Head up the slope to find The Iron Wayfarer. Speak to him to get a bit of lore. Beside him will be the Vestige of Hannelore. Activate it and use it as necessary. When you're ready, move forward along the path past the Vestige of Hannelore to get to your first Stigma. Transition to Umbral to Soulflay it to get two Umbral Scourings. From the Stigma, head to the left to find three Minor Holy Salts at the end of the path. Walk back and take a short detour to the left to pick up three Fire Wards. Progress forward to find an Emergence Effigy to your left you can use to transition back to Axiom.

From here on you'll be exploring an area that looks like an abandoned village. As you move forward, there's an archway to your left that'll lead to a short detour where you can find a Broken Sword. Be careful of the Corrupted Penitent behind the wooden wall near the Broken Sword waiting to surprise you. There's also a hidden chest behind some breakable objects on the other side of the other wooden wall ahead of you containing the Hallowed Condemnation.

As you emerge from this detour, you'll find a lot of Enemies to defeat. There's a ladder on the house nearby that'll help you get to the Corrupted Pilgrim throwing Rhogar bombs at you on top of the house. Up here, if you look toward the large tree to find an Item on a corpse hanging from the tree. Throw anything at it, like a Throwing Rock, and it'll drop the Pilgrim Garb and the Pilgrim Skirt for you to pick up. Head along the path parallel to the detour to find a broken gate, guarded by a lone Corrupted Penitent. Break the objects inside to find two Ammunition Pouches and two Small Manastone Clusters from the dead Avowed.

From here follow the path to the left, past the bent gate. Ignore the breakable carriages on your right first. Be careful of the Corrupted Penitents hiding behind the wooden barricade on your right, and the one hiding behind a large broken jar further on. As you turn the corner, enter the gateway on your right and defeat the Raw Mangler. In the corner here are three Unripe Berries under a breakable cart. Exit out the gateway and follow the earlier path on the right up the stairs. At the top, activate the Vestige of Marco the Axe on your left and use it as necessary.

Head back down toward the carriages you ignored a while ago, which should be to your left now. Past it will be a slightly isolated section with a lone Proselyte. Head up the nearby ladder to reach the roof of a small house. If you transition to Umbral here you can cross the short bridge that looks like a spine and throw anything you can at the corpse hanging above you. It'll drop the Orian Preacher Shield for you to pick up. Make your way back to that rooftop and fully cross the bridge this time.

Hang a left and drop into the isolated area first as there's no other way to get to it other than from above. In this small section, grab two Enervated Vigor Skulls and the Raw Mangler Axe on a dead Avowed. When you're done, head back to the initial area of this abandoned village by crossing the planks and then return to the Vestige of Marco the Axe you recently activated.

Across the Vestige of Marco the Axe is a large gate with a bell at the center that's frozen over. To its left is a gap in the cement barrier. Transition to Umbral here and Soulflay the target so you can jump down the platforms. Soulflay the Umbral Belly amidst some Umbral Eggs to pick up the Umbral Eye of Betrayed Eliard. If you head forward into the enclosure, you'll find another Stigma to Soulflay to get another two Umbral Scourings. Head back out and follow the path that U-turns into a ladder. This takes you to the rooftop of a shack near the gateway with the Raw Mangler. Drop down and head back to the Vestige.

The large gate can't be opened for now so head along the path to its right instead. Up the stairs, you'll find the Mineowner's Ring on a hanging corpse near the house on your right. Head down the path near where a Corrupted Pilgrim should be throwing bombs at you from. Transition to Umbral here, to get rid of the water and find an Enervated Vigor Skull among some Umbral Eggs on the right, and an Ammunition Satchel and a Large Manastone Cluster on the corpse ahead.

Follow the path until you reach another hanging corpse carrying the Pilgrim Hood and Pilgrim Bandages at the end of it. Head back along the path to find a ladder on your right. Be careful as you reach the top as you might be greeted by a Raw Mangler. To your immediate left is a small doorway that leads to a wooden plank you can kick down to make a shortcut back to the Vestige. Right by the doorway is an Emergence Effigy you can use to transition back to Axiom. Take the opposite path this time and turn left at the fork to find a ladder. At the top, you'll find three Holy Wards on another dead Avowed. Follow the short path deeper in and drop down the gap under the ledge you'll see above you. You'll drop into a chamber where you'll find The Iron Wayfarer has relocated to. If you speak to him, he'll give you a Vestige Seed. Plant one on the Umbral flowerbed right in front of him if you'd like.

When you're ready, head up the ladder to the right of The Iron Wayfarer and climb up the stairs to exit the Abandoned Redcopse and reach the Skyrest Bridge.

The Skyrest Bridge is reached by climbing up the long set of narrow stairs past the ladder to the right of The Iron Wayfarer at the end of the Abandoned Redcopse. At the top, you can head up to the right to find two groups of Enemies fighting. If you keep heading up this way you'll find two Ammunition Pouches and two Small Manastone Clusters on a corpse by a gate blocked off by steel bars. To its left will be some double doors that won't open from this side. Along this same side, you can turn back and head toward a small section with lava. You can transition to Umbral here to reduce the damaging lava so you can go down and get the Rusty Cutter. If you do, you can head back down and rest at the Vestige Seedling to transition back to Axiom.

Head back past the stairs you went up with. As you go, you can find some Minor Fire Salts on the lava to your right. When you're ready, head to the open area in front of a large structure with a large gate to begin a Boss fight against Pieta, She of the Blessed Renewal. If you fail the fight and die at least once, you'll be able to interact with the cluster of moths to the left of the entrance to the battlefield, to request assistance from The Iron Wayfarer.

When you defeat her, she'll be revived by a yet unknown power and then she'll give you a glance before swooping down off of the battlefield. You'll be rewarded with a Vestige Seed and eight Umbral Scourings for the hard-won fight. Ahead of you, in front of the large gate, you can transition to Umbral and Soulflay a Stigma to get two more Umbral Scourings and the Remembrance of Pieta, She of Blessed Renewal.

Head to the doorway to the left of the large gate and head up the spiral staircase to find a chest containing the Sanctify Spell. Head back down the spiral staircase and climb all the way to the lowest floor to exit to reach the main lobby of the Skyrest Bridge, which serves as the game's NPC hub. Down the stairs, you'll find large double doors behind you which cannot be opened from this side.

Move forward opposite the doors, past the hall of coffins to reach Exacter Dunmire, Pieta, and Stomund, Captain of the Fidelis near the Vestige of Ethryg. Speak to Exacter Dunmire twice to get some lore information and the Dark Crusader's Challenge Gesture. Afterward, he will serve as a Merchant who sells a variety of Equipment, a few Consumable Items, and some Spells.

Pieta of the Hallowed Sentinels was the Boss that you'd just fought as you entered Skyrest Bridge. Pieta gives you the option to upgrade your Sanguinarix in exchange for Saintly Quintessences. Eventually, you'll also be able to avail of her services to respec your character's build, allowing you to reallocate points you've put into their different Stats. Afterward, activate the Vestige of Ethryg if you haven't already.

To the right of the Vestige of Ethryg will be Stomund, Captain of the Fidelis. Just like Exacter Dunmire, Stomund will serve as a Merchant when you talk to him further, selling Equipment, more Consumable Items, a Key Item, and some Spells.

Across Pieta is a doorway that leads to a large creature with multiple arms named Molhu. Transition to Umbral and speak to him and eventually, he'll become a Merchant who deals in wares on the more Umbral side of things, in the form of various Consumable Items, Upgrade Materials, Weapons, and Spells. Molhu will also help you socket Umbral Eyes into your Umbral Lamp, granting you certain additional Stats. By trading in Antediluvian Chisels, Molhu can also upgrade your Umbral Lamp, giving it additional Umbral Eye Sockets, more Soulflay Charges, and even increasing your overall Dread Resistance.

Past Molhu to the left is the Shrine of the Putrid Mother, also only accessible while transitioned in Umbral. Interacting with the shrine rewards you with the Putrid Mother's Embrace Gesture and allows players to purchase Armour Tincts and various Equipment with Plucked Eyeballs, which they can gain by avenging fallen lampbearers through the game's online system.

Behind Stomund will be a short hall leading to a room with crates and barrels. Go down the stairs to the left to find Eustace, one of the warriors of the Fidelis. On a bench to his right, behind some more breakable objects is the Spell Aura of Tenacity. Past Eustace will be Nathaniel. Neither NPCs will have much else to offer you other than conversation.

Right beside Nathaniel will be the Shrine of Orius. By interacting with it, the player is able to trade in Pilfered Coins for various Armour Tincts and Equipment. Pilfered Coins are gained by both calling upon and helping other lampbearers through the game's online system.

To the right of Stomund will be a path leading to an exposed area where you'll find Andreas of Ebb, enjoying a view of Mournstead. When you first meet him, Andreas won't really offer much to help you aside from offering to take over your duties as the bearer of the Umbral Lamp, which naturally your character will automatically refuse.

Head past Andreas of Ebb and then up the ladder to a scaffolding, to come across a pilgrim by the name of Thehk-Ihir. Keep talking to him to get a Stick Weapon.

Move forward past Thehk-Ihir and then drop down to the wooden platform below where a Pilgrim will be waiting for you. Defeat the Enemies and head down to the lower platform where they came from to find the Map of Pilgrim's Perch Ascent on a dead Avowed near the edge of the platform. Keep heading down and you'll eventually get to a much larger platform filled with Enemies. Transition to Umbral here and head back up the stairs first and look to the right for the wooden beam. Cross the beam onto a large clawed hand and continue across to another wooden beam. At the edge of the next beam will be a Reject's Blade. Head back across this beam and up along the path created by the clawed hand past a multitude of Enemies. Soulflay the Umbral Belly at the end of the path to get the Pale Eye Shield from the ground. Jump back to the previous wooden platforms to your right and then follow the path back down until you reach the Emergence Effigy and transition back to Axiom.

Once you're back, make your way down the stairs again to the much larger platform filled with Enemies. Head straight in the same direction as you go down the stairs and break the wooden planks to pick up a Bloody Hatchet. Heading back, if you make an immediate left toward the edge, you'll find three Holy Wards under the breakable objects. Turn right to head up the stairs marked by a lot of blood to enter Pilgrim's Perch for a bit. You can also find a Stigma here to Soulflay for two Umbral Scourings. Up the stairs to your right will be the Vestige of Chabui which you can activate. Use it to rest and exit out of Umbral.

When you're ready, head back to Skyrest Bridge and into the large platform and head to the right to explore further and get some Items. Head up the wooden ladder further along to find two Ammunition Pouches and two Small Manastone Clusters on a dead Avowed. Head back down and then head further down another two ladders in front of you. At the bottom, head to the left to find some hanging wooden platforms you'll have to traverse. Cross the thin planks to move forward, hopping onto the succeeding platforms. Jump from the next plank leading to a hanging platform over the cliff and then jump onto the stairs on the side of the building. At the edge of the stairs, you can pick up four Small Deralium Fragments from the dead Avowed. Climb up the ladder atop the stairs to find two Bleed Resistance Balms to your immediate left. Fight through the Enemies there to move forward.

Ahead of you should be the lever to operate the elevator beside it. If you circle around the elevator first to the right, you'll find the Bell Staff behind some breakable objects. Go back and pull the lever to have the elevator lower itself to you. Step on the elevated tile inside the elevator to ride it up. If you've been in Umbral, you can use the Emergence Effigy in front of the middle structure to exit back to Axiom if you want to. Behind the structure, on the pile of dead bodies, you can find an Icegrip Armour Tinct.

Head down the spiral stairs to the right into a narrower pathway. There will be an opening at the end of the path, on your left, leading to a door that you'll need the Skyrest Bridge Key to open. Across this opening will be an arcing bridge you can cross. As you do, you'll find a Stigma on a little terrace on your right. Transition to Umbral and Soulflay it to get the usual two Umbral Scourings.

At the end of the bridge will be an Emergence Effigy. Before you transition back to Axiom though, if you look under you to the left of the effigy you can see a lower area you can drop down to. Very carefully do so while hugging the edge of the path. Follow the path down here to find the Faithful Bludgeon. Turn around and head back to where you landed to Soulflay the target across the gap to bring out a bridge you can cross.

Before crossing the long narrow bridge to your left, head up the stairs first and climb the ladder at the end to a section filled with Umbral Eggs, guarded by a Womb of Despair. The Crimson Rector Sword is on the dead sentinel. Head back down now and then cross the long narrow bridge. In the middle, Soulflay the Umbral Belly to pick up the Skyrest Bridge Key it drops. Continue across to the other side to another Emergence Effigy you can use if you want to.

Head up the stairs here to find the Crimson Rector Shield to match the sword and then open the gate with the Skyrest Bridge Key, giving you a shortcut back to the main lobby of Skyrest Bridge. Go back and head to the left of the effigy this time over the raised ground back to the previous path. You can now go back to the locked double doors and open them with the Skyrest Bridge Key. Inside, transition to Umbral to find a ladder to the left. Atop the ladder is an Umbral tumor blocking your way. You'll need to Soulflay three corresponding targets to destroy it. Head across the room and when you reach the circular structure, look above you to the left to find one of the targets and Soulflay it. Circle around to the left of the structure to find a Faint Vigor Skull. Keep circling to find a chest containing the Descrier Guide Set. The broken bench beside the chest has a Faint Vigor Skull, as well as the corpse past that. Once you've made a full circle, turn around to find a gate to the right of the structure that you can bypass while in Umbral, leading to a little room. Soulflay the Umbral Belly here to pick up the Princess' Sting.

When you're done looting, head up the spiral stairs to the left of the platform. At the top, head directly across the stairs to find the Tortured Prisoner behind some bars. Head to the other side of the room to open the double doors there with the Skyrest Bridge Key which gives you another shortcut back to the main lobby and the Vestige of Ethryg.

Head along the path opposite the Tortured Prisoner to find a Stigma. Transition to Umbral if you rested, and then Soulflay the Stigma to get two more Umbral Scourings. Head back down the stairs to the circular structure. Facing away from the circular structure and toward the entrance of the hall, you should find a platform to your immediate left as you step onto the path lined with statues. Soulflay the target in front of you to move the platform toward you. Drop down and then turn around to find the target you need to Soulflay that leads back to the Umbral tumor. Find your way back and then climb the longer ladder back up to the Umbral tumor. Step close to the end of the platform to the right to find the last target above you. Soulflay it to finally destroy the tumor. Soulflay the Umbral Belly that the tumor was hiding and pick up the Searing Accusation.

Head back up to the Tortured Prisoner and try to talk to her again. You'll get prompted here to hand over the Searing Accusation to her to presumably help her escape. When you next rest at a Vestige and come back, you'll find the bars melted and the Tortured Prisoner gone. She'll leave behind the Tortured Prisoner's Head Cage for you to pick up.

If you head back to the locked double doors at the end of the path behind Stomund, you can open them with the Skyrest Bridge Key for a shortcut leading to the chamber where you came across The Iron Wayfarer for the second time in the Abandoned Redcopse, leading up to the stairs to the Skyrest Bridge.

When you're ready to progress the game, head back to the main lobby of Skyrest Bridge and then use the Vestige of Ethryg to teleport to the Vestige of Chabui in the Pilgrim's Perch to continue your journey.

After fully exploring Skyrest Bridge, teleport to the Vestige of Chabui if you have it activated already. Otherwise, head to Thehk-Ihir in the Skyrest Bridge and head down the wooden platforms past him. When you get to a much larger wooden platform, head up the stairs to the right to reach Pilgrim's Perch and find the Vestige of Chabui. Soulflay the Stigma nearby if you haven't already for two Umbral Scourings. Across the Vestige will be a ladder you can climb. At the top, move forward and hold your Umbral Lamp up near the steel bars to cross them and get the Broken Bucket and the Condemned Set on the dead Avowed. Use your lamp to head back and then carefully cross the narrow wooden beam amidst the bells to the other side. Turn left and break the objects to head past the ladder first. Hold up your lamp again to get past the bars for an Empyrean Grenade. Climb down the ladder now and turn right to find a character adorned in a red coat.

Past her will be a ladder that'll allow you to reach the lower floor. Walk across from the ladder to a large statue and pick up the Bloody Aspergillum. When you're ready, head down the stairs to the pool of water to properly fight Scourged Sister Delyth. After you defeat her, you'll acquire the Scourged Sister Flail, Scourged Sister Garb. If you're not already in the Umbral, use your Umbral Lamp to enter the land of the dead and you'll find an Umbral Belly in a small alcove where Delyth was found initially. Soulflay it to obtain a Saintly Quintessence.

Head to where she started the fight and head through the doorway past the pool to finally exit the Skyrest Bridge and enter Pilgrim's Perch. To progress, take the ladder to your right upwards and enter the tunnel ahead. Continue forward, where you'll find an Umbral Flowerbed at the corner. Turn left and keep going forward to exit the tunnel and get back outside.

When you're outside, you can enter the Umbral if you're not already in it to find two bone bridges. You can find the Hallowed Bow by taking the bridge going downwards and to the right. Head back up the bone bridge, turn the corner then climb up the stairs. To the right of the top of the stairs, you can pick up four Small Deralium Fragments. Head up the ladder nearby afterwards. Next to it, you can pick up a Plain Shield. Go back towards the ladder, but don't go down it. Instead, enter the Umbral and use your Umbral Lamp to pull the platform ahead towards you. You can use it to get to the other side of the area.

Head down the ladder ahead to be able to kick down the wooden plank bridging the two sides. Turn back around, and go up the ladder ahead to progress forward. Loot the Penitent Trousers from the ground next to the Emergence Effigy. If you circle around the wall in the Umbral, you can find the Defaced Ring on a lower platform. Return to the Axiom using the Emergence Effigy after you're done looting. Climb up the ladder next to it and you'll find a swinging platform nearby that you can use to get to another platform ahead. At the end, you can pick up the Hallowed Praise.

Take the ladder nearby upwards. At the top, turn right and take the next ladder upwards. Drop down ahead and enter the Umbral to reveal a path on the side. Use your Umbral Lamp to pull out the bone bridge ahead, then hop onto it. Follow the path and up the slope to find another set of moveable platforms. Pull yourself to the other side and go up the slope. Push the ladder down at the end to open up a shortcut back up here. You can head back down and look over the edge of the platform at the corner to find the Perdam Falchion. Come back here and go back up the shortcut ladder when you're done. Turn around and cross the arm on your left to find the Thorned Crimson Rector Sword.

Go back and cross the wooden beam on the right. Climb up the ladder leading to an upper platform to grab another four Small Deralium Fragments. Descend back down the ladder and enter the tunnel on the right. Up ahead is the Vestige of Blind Agatha on the left, where you can rest up to return to the Axiom. On the right, you can speak to a currently unnamed NPC, though he doesn't say much at the moment. Behind him, you'll find the Map of Pilgrim's Perch Descent. The door next to it requires a key to be unlocked.

Next to the NPC, you'll find a lever that doesn't quite work at the moment. Continue through the tunnels ahead, past a cavern featuring a lake. If you shine your Umbral Lamp at the lake, you can take some stairs going up to a side area. Soulflay the Umbral Belly at the top for the Umbral Eye of Rosamund, then continue further in to find the Antique Hallowed Sentinel Set in a chest. Near the chest, you'll find an Umbral Flowerbed. Behind it, take the stairs to find Pridebound on the left of a balcony. The area at the bottom and up the elevator on the right will be explored later during Belled Rise, but if you want to grab the items and run, you find find the Hallowed Sentinel Scripture from the lower platform and Cleric's Benediction in the room to the left at the top of the elevator. Click here to jump to the Belled Rise section of the Game Progress Route.

When you're done looting, return into the cave back out of the lake to continue forward. Through the doorway, you'll find a ladder on the left you can let down later. Go to the right to emerge back outside. Make your way up the stairs and use the swinging platforms to reach the other side. If you enter the Umbral here, you can look backwards to open up a bone bridge shortcut back to the other side. Follow the walkway on the right, and at the end, take the ladder going down found to your left.

The Umbral Belly in this area can be targeted and Soulflayed with your Umbral Lamp to drop a Bowl of Revelations and two Umbral Scouring. Take the ladder behind it afterwards, then continue forward and head up the next one. To progress, go to the right from the top of the ladder and cross the arm, where you'll find an Emergence Effigy to let you return to the Axiom.

Climb down the ladder on the right and kick the bridge down ahead to unlock the shortcut back. Turn around and head forward. Look over the ledge by the item on the ground and drop down onto the wooden platform below. Defeat the enemies here, then loot the Partisan Crossbow from the corner. Take the ladder down to the bottom, and defeat the enemies in the area to make running around here easier.

There is an Umbral Tumor blocking the way forward. Enter the Umbral and head down the bone slope that appears. At the bottom, defeat the two Umbral Ghouls. An Umbral Belly you can interact with using the Umbral Lamp drops a Book of Sin. Head to the end of the area and look down over the ledge. Use your Umbral Lamp to soulflay the body. Go back up the bone slope and towards the tumor blocking the door. If you look to it's right and upwards, you'll find the second body you need to soulflay to banish the Umbral entity. Use your Umbral Lamp on the final body entangled on the door, opening up the way forward.

At the end of the tunnel, take the ladder going down. Continue downwards, descending down the next ladder. Nearby on the right, you'll find another ladder going down. Descend the ladder and defeat the Pureblade to obtain the Prison Cell Key. With your back towards the ladder, head to the right and speak to the blacksmith, Gerlinde. When you speak to her once more, you'll be given the option to hand over the Prison Cell Key, allowing her move to Skyrest Bridge.

Look behind the ladder you came from to find a waterfall area. By the waterfall itself, you can pick up the full Orian Preacher Set from the ground. Go to the left afterwards and you'll find a doorway blocked by an Umbral Tumor. If you aren't already, enter the Umbral using your Umbral Lamp, then soulflay the body from the doorway to gain access to the room behind it. There'll be a chest within that contains the Defiance Ring. To return to the Axiom, interact with the Emergence Effigy found behind the ladder in the previous room.

Ascend the ladder after you're done with this lower area. Up ahead and to the right, you'll find an elevator that takes you back up to the Vestige of Blind Agatha. Use it to unlock the shortcut, then head back down when you're ready to progress. If you returned to Skyrest Bridge then fast traveled back to Pilgrim's Perch, you can visit Gerlinde's previous jail cell to find four Small Deralium Fragments by the fireplace.

Back at the elevator, keep going forward and take the ladder at the end going down. Interact with the lever to call the lift up, then take it down all the way to the bottom. Ahead and to the left, you'll find Damarose the Marked. If you go further ahead, you'll initiate a boss fight against Gentle Gaverus, Mistress of Hounds. This boss fight is not only against Gaverus herself, but against the multiple Radiant Hounds with her.

When defeated, Gaverus will drop an Ammunition Satchel, Vestige Seed, the Sin-Pierced Sleeves and the Sin-Pierced Sword. You can interact with the Umbral Flowerbed that emerges after the fight for a shortcut back here. At this point you can head back to Skyrest Bridge to hand over the Book of Sin to Exacter Dunmire and purchase the Pilgrim's Perch Key from Stomund, which will also net you the Map of Belled Rise.

Return to Skyrest Bridge

After you defeat Gentle Gaverus, Mistress of Hounds at the end of Pilgrim's Perch, find Exacter Dunmire by heading to the far left area of the hall and going down the leading down to the previously empty study leading to the shortcut you previously unlocked. If you talk to him, he'll give you the additional task of submitting Items that illustrate the malpractices of the Hallowed Sentinels. Choose the option to Talk to him when you interact with him and you'll be prompted to hand over any of the Items you have that fit what he's asking for.

Next, head to Molhu in his room across from where Pieta is, you'll be prompted to give him the Bowl of Revelations. This will allow you to choose the option to "Offer Remembrance" when you talk to him, which allows you to trade Umbral Scourings in exchange for various Equipment and Spells that correspond to certain Bosses you've defeated, provided you have their corresponding Remembrance item.

If you head back toward the Vestige of Ethryg, the doorway across Stomund now leads to the Grouk blacksmith Gerlinde and her assistant Sparky, if you've freed them from the prison deep in Pilgrim's Perch. When you talk to her, she'll give you another task to return specific crystals to her. As a Merchant, she will have some Consumables for sale, a couple of Weapons, and a Shield. You will now also be able to Upgrade Equipment with her, in exchange for some Vigor and corresponding Upgrade Materials. Finally, head to the Shrine of Orius to find the Forlorn Hound to the right. You're unable to interact with it for now but do note down its location.

When you're done exploring Pilgrim's Perch, return to Gaverus' boss arena and go through the lit tunnel opposite to where you entered the arena initially. Climb down the ladder and up ahead, you'll be able to interact with the Vestige of Olleren. When you exit the tunnel, you'll emerge back outside and in the Forsaken Fen. Turn right and up ahead you'll find Thehk-Ihir, who's become a travelling Merchant.

Continue past Thehk-Ihir down the slope and you'll get to some flimsy wooden platforms. When you attempt to walk over them, you'll drop down below and initiate a boss fight against The Congregator of Flesh. When defeated it drops a Vestige Seed and eight Umbral Scouring. You can witness it's Stigma by swapping over to the Umbral if you're not already in it, after which you'll be rewarded with the Remembrance of the Congregator of Flesh and two more Umbral Scouring.

An Umbral Flowerbed appears in this boss arena after defeating it. To continue forward, go through the hole in the wall leading into a tunnel. Cut down the vines blocking your way with your weapon and you'll emerge outside into an area filled with torches. Head into the Umbral to be able go forward. You'll find that you can now walk through the river that was blocking your way earlier.

When you get to the other side, follow the pathway on the left to find the Vestige of Valade and return to the Axiom. Continue following the path to find the man you met earlier in Pilgrim's Perch now known as Byron. Make your way up the path, then cross the wooden beam to the other side. You'll eventually get to an open area with a large rock in the middle. Go left around the rock, then move on past the torch. When you pass underneath a wooden archway, turn left to find two Small Deralium Fragments behind some crates. If you enter the Umbral, you'll find a slope leading to the left. At the end, you can soulflay an Umbral Belly that holds the Angel's Axe.

Continue following the wooden path and you'll get to the base of a sloping tree branch. Start by going up the sloping tree branch to open a shortcut back to the Vestige of Valade. You can also push the ladder nearby down and descend it to obtain both the Cursewyrm Ring and Exemplar in a hidden alcove to the left of the ladder, behind some vines that can be cut down.

Go back up the ladder. Though optional, you can enter the Umbral. A bone ladder will appear to the right of the ladder you just climbed up. If you follow that path, you'll eventually make it back to The Congregator of Flesh's boss arena. On the way, you can pick up a Regular Deralium Nugget, Harbinger, Shuja Harmony Hoop, two Umbral Scouring, and Resh-Mesah's Sword. If you do take that detour, make your way back to the Vestige of Valade to continue forward.

From the Vestige of Valade, head through the shortcut we opened up earlier and make your way back down the sloping tree branch. At the bottom, turn right and go underneath the tree branch to reach a bonfire. Head left from the bonfire and follow the sound of humming to find some vines you can cut down hiding a Petrified Woman in an alcove. You can help her if you have any radiant healing spell or holy throwable item that cleanses status effects. After helping her, she'll move to Skyrest Bridge and hand over the Pendant of Induration. The item behind her, Wilmarc's Catalyst, can't be reached until she moves or you destroy her as a statue. You can also find an Umbral Flowerbed at the mouth of her cave if you wish to put a checkpoint here.

Exit her cave and turn left. Enter the Umbral if you're not already in it and up ahead, you'll find a gap between two rock formations, where an enemy on stilts can be found. There'll a split in the path ahead, one going left and the other going right. Go to the right to progress forward. You'll eventually stumble across a hut on your right. Before heading inside, follow the path to the end. You'll eventually reach an Umbral Belly that can be soulflayed for a Saintly Quintessence.

Return to the hut and head up to the upper floor balcony. Turn left as you leave the hut and follow the walkway to a pathway behind the hut. If you go left, you can find an Emergence Effigy in the corner that'll take you back to the Axiom. Continue down the other way down the path, following torches underneath a wooden archway.

The path will curve left underneath another torch-lit wooden structure. There is another detour here you can take that brings you to an optional boss. Enter the Umbral and head into the water on the right to reach some vines that can be cut down to enter a hidden cave. Right outside, you'll also bump into The Iron Wayfarer, though this interaction is optional for his quest. At the wall on the other side of the cave, you can cut through the vines to find an Umbral Belly containing the Verdure Ring. The path on the right eventually leads you to the Mendacious Visage. When defeated, it drops the Mask of Wrath, a Vestige Seed, and a Precision Hammer. When you leave the boss arena, you'll find a ladder going back to the shortcut to the Vestige of Vallade. Before you take it, you can enter the hut at the end of the walkway to obtain Vanguard Barros' Rosary.

When you're ready to proceed, return to where we took the detour leading to the Mendacious Visage. This time, follow the path underneath the lit wooden archway. If you keep following the wooden walkway here, you'll eventually get to a raised bridge overlooking a lake that can't be lowered from this side. Nearby, however, there'll be an Umbral Flowerbed you can use.

Enter the Umbral and step into the now empty lake. For some extra loot, you can find a body in the right side to soulflay and weaken the nearby Umbral Tumor. You won't find the other two bodies until later. To progress, head into the center of the lake and make your way through a short corridor. Keep going forward and at the split, take the path on the right. Go under a wooden bridge to emerge into what seems to be the center of a small village. At the end of the path, look to the left to find an Umbral Belly that contains the Umbral Eye of the Pale Butcher. Down the path on the right in the split, keep heading forward and you'll eventually find another large bonfire. An Emergence Effigy can be found on the opposite side of the platform to take you back to the Axiom.

Looking at the Emergence Effigy, you can either go down a walkway to the left or right. Though optional, if you go down the wooden path on the right, you'll be able to pick up the Pale Butcher's Blade, the Pyric Cultist Staff, and the Angel of the Void Set. The other two soulflay bodies are in this area if you want to to pen up a shortcut back to the main lake.

Head back to the large bonfire. You can look into the huts in the area for a Small Deralium Fragment. Go left from the Emergence Effigy this time, down the pathway through an archway. About halfway through the tunnel past the lake, you'll find an Umbral Flowerbed in an alcove to the right. Whenever you're ready, emerge out of the tunnel to the other side to face The Hushed Saint. When defeated, this boss will drop a Vestige Seed and eight Umbral Scouring. Enter the Umbral if you aren't already in it, and soulflay the Stigma to obtain the Remembrance of the Hushed Saint and two more Umbral Scouring. Approach the Hallowed Sentinel Beacon glowing red. Right in front of it, you can find an Emergence Effigy to return to the Axiom. Interact with the beacon afterwards to witness a cutscene of your character cleansing it. This will be your first cleansed beacon. Note that cleansing ANY beacon will lock you out of the Inferno Ending, the Umbral Ending, and completing Damarose's questline.

Turn around at the beacon and face the boss arena. You'll see a light in the distance that marks the way out. Follow the path upwards and near the end, you'll find some blue moths swarming an area on the right. Enter the Umbral here and soulflay the Stigma to obtain two Umbral Scouring.

Continue up the path and at the end, you'll once again find Thehk-Ihir. Next to him, you can activate the Vestige of the Pale Butcher. Before heading down the path, look where the Vestige is facing and you can find the Panoptic Ring hanging off of a tree branch. Knock it down with any ranged spell or throwable to obtain it. Though optional, you can follow the pathway away from the Vestige. You'll eventually get to some wooden platforms above water. Head to the very left, past a ladder you can knock down to create a shortcut back here, and you'll find a ladder leading up to a bonfire. Take the next ladder up and at the end is a chest with the Pendant of Burden.

Backtrack all the way back to the Vestige when you're ready to move forward. Make your way down the path next to the Vestige of the Pale Butcher to find a raised bridge. Enter the Umbral to get to the other side and lower the bridge for any future backtracking. If you keep going down the wooden pathway here, you'll eventually find yourself at Fitzroy's Gorge.

After activating the Vestige of the Pale Butcher and crossing the bridge ahead at the Forsaken Fen, you'll reach Fitzroy's Gorge and eventually get to a metal gate blocking your way forward. To the right, you can pick up the Map of Fitzroy's Gorge from the ground. Shine your Umbral Lamp at the gates and you'll be able to phase through them. Be careful of the Remnant nearby, waiting for you to shine your lamp at it and attack you.

Emerge back outside and head down the slope. Follow the path until you get to a broken-down carriage. Continue up the slope, where you'll bump into another two Rhogar Hounds and a Raw Mangler. Near the top of the slope, a small altar can be found on the right that houses the Piercing Light Spell. Continue pressing forward to the top, where you'll get into a fork in the road. Head down the path where the sign is pointing to and when you can, turn left to go up a slope going slightly backward to grab four Small Deralium Fragments. Keep moving forward down this path to reach an Umbral Flowerbed. Plant a Vestige Seedling on it as we'll be using this one as a checkpoint and point of reference often in the coming sections.

Roll through the wooden crates and turn right. Keep following the path until you reach a scene of four Raw Manglers in combat against some Avowed and Marksmen. Defeat the victors of the battle, then prepare yourself for a boss fight against Crimson Rector Percival. If you haven't cleansed any beacons at this point, you will bump into Damarose the Marked on your way to Percival. She will be observing Percival prior to your fight with him, and will take his body with her to her next location after you've defeated him.

Further in the boss arena, you can find a chest containing Bloodlust and two Regular Deralium Nuggets on the floor next to it. Opposite where Percival spawned, there is a set of stairs leading into a tower. Take the elevator inside upwards and you'll find yourself back at Skyrest Bridge. Grab the two Regular Deralium Nuggets from the ground, then unlock the gate to open up a shortcut back.

Make your way back to the Umbral Flowerbed. As you move forward toward the other path, you'll immediately find a fork. Follow the path past the Enemies until you reach a Stigma. Transition to Umbral here and Soulflay it to get your two Umbral Scourings. Keep moving forward along the ridge and grab the Holy Salts from the dead body by the cliff. Another Rhogar Hound will come straight at you as you step forward, covered by a Trapper on the elevated ground, so be careful not to fall off the cliff. Past the elevated ground are four Small Deralium Fragments on another corpse by the cliff. Use your Umbral Lamp to bypass the succeeding gates, picking up the two Regular Deralium Nuggets in between.

When you get to the large cavern, head up along the path to your right to reach an Emergence Effigy you can use to transition back to Axiom if you've been in Umbral. Across the effigy is a Ring of Radiant Preeminence on an impaled corpse. Ahead of you will be a circular path where a Raw Mangler and another Rhogar Hound will be waiting for you. The loot on the left part of the circular path is a Ravenous Fascinator so try your best to resist picking it up or Soulflay it to drive the creature away. On the other side of the path is Fitzroy's Sword on another impaled corpse.

Move forward and cross the broken bridge by holding up your Umbral Lamp. Once across, you'll notice some raised ground on your right. Keep heading down the path to the left to find another Ravenous Fascinator luring you in so Soulflay it. Near it should be a ladder going down. Jump down the platforms to your left to reach an Emergence Effigy if you need to use it. Right before the end of the platform are four Small Deralium Fragments on the corpse.

Drow down, but turn around first and head up the path to find the Trapper that was shooting at you when you entered the cavern. Near him is another corpse on which you can pick up an Ammunition Satchel and a Manastone Cluster. Head back down toward the ladders. Both the next long ladder on the wooden platforms and the downward path on your left lead down to the same circular area. For now, head back up the ladder and go back to the raised ground.

Climb down the ladder behind the raised ground to meet Drustan. A few platforms below Drustan will be an Umbral Flowerbed where you can use a Vestige Seed to plant a Vestige Seedling if you want to rest and transition back to Axiom. At the end of the path below the ladder is a Cracked Rune Tablet.

Dropping down from here leads to a circular area with Rhogar Hounds. This is that circular area where both the long ladder and the downward path in the previous section lead down to. To the left from where you'll land will be the path leading to the long ladder leading back up to the wooden platforms. There's a semi-hidden corner to the right of the ladder where you can pick up the Hallowed Knight Shield.

Head back to the circular area, and you'll find an Animated Vigor Skull near some breakable barrels. Head out the path on the right from there. Follow the path to a bridge and, when you're ready, set foot on the bridge to start a Boss fight against the Ruiner. Defeating the Ruiner rewards you with the Ruiner Shield, Ruiner Boots, and a Vestige Seed. In the middle of the bridge is another Umbral Flowerbed. Right before it should be an Umbral Tumor. Transition to Umbral and then move forward along the bridge a little bit and look to your left to find a target to Soulflay for the tumor, a little bit below you. The other one will be past the large doorway at the end of the bridge. Turn around and it'll be above you to the left.

Head back to the now-disintegrated Umbral Tumor and pick up the Nohuta Ritual Hammer it was hiding. Jump down to the platform below you and hop onto the next ones until you'll need to Soulflay a target to get across to a platform filled with Umbral Eggs. Ahead of you will be another target to Soulflay which destroys another Umbral Tumor and brings out a bridge for you to cross to your left. Head up the ladder here and climb up the stairs to an Emergence Effigy. If you head along the path to the right there'll be a corpse to your immediate right with two Regular Deralium Nuggets. Further on will be a ladder you can push down giving you a shortcut back down to where the path stopped to a wall when you exited the cavern.

Head back to the other path up this time and continue forward to the desecrated cavern entrance. Head inside to activate the Vestige of Betrayed Eliard. Head further in to access the Shrine of Adyr. Interacting with it for the first time will give you the Crimson Ritual Fervour Gesture. Across the shrine is a large opening where you can find three Charred Fingers amidst a pile of corpses. You'll find Damarose here once again with Crimson Rector Percival's body if you haven't cleansed any beacons. If you speak to her, she'll ask you to retrieve the Adyr-Worshipper's Saw.

Head back out and use to shortcut ladder to get back on the bridge and fully cross it this time. Past the wooden barricades will be the Orian Preacher Hammer to your right. Follow the path down in this direction to find yourself at odds with some Enemies. Past them will be a gate to a large open area. To the right of the gate are some Minor Holy Salts, Smite Salts, and Bleed Salts. Further to the right is a Ravenous Fascinator you can Soulflay posing as an item orb. The open area past this gate is an arena for an optional Boss fight but we'll come back to it.

For now, head all the way back up and then go through the breakable carriage on your right to reach some Weighted Bolts. If you turn around and look to the right, just before the arrows, there should be a path you can take in Umbral. Soulflay the target across from you and use the moving platform to get across. Once across, you can hop onto the platform on the left to get to it and get on the bridge. On the other side of the bridge, there's a Snake Oil Grenade on a corpse by the bars. Head inside the tower and go one floor down and Soulflay the Umbral Belly to get the Umbral Eye of Hooded Antuli.

When you turn back around you can find and use an Emergence Effigy on your right to transition back to Axiom. Back in Axiom, you can now head back to the tower and head up the stairs to the top. At the top landing, there's an Animated Vigor Skull on the corpse near some breakable objects. Across from it should be a tiny gap on the wall to your right. Outside, you can proceed on a narrow path to keep heading up the tower through a ladder at the end. Carefully cross the wooden beam to another ladder up. At the top, you're rewarded for your climb with a chest containing Fitzroy's Set. Across from it is a Stigma you can Soulflay if you transition to Umbral again. As usual, you'll get two Umbral Scourings for doing so.

Head back down the tower, going all the way down the stairs this time. Outside, you'll be on a wide path going down to a gate. If you make a U-turn first back up toward the tower, you'll find two Magic Wards on a corpse by some broken stairs. If you need to transition back to Axiom, there's an Emergence Effigy at the foot of the statue to the right of the gate down the path.

The path on the left leads to a gap in a wall that you can't go through from this side. Head through the doorway beside the gate and past the next doorway to pick up a Seething Vigor Skull. Just a few steps between this gravestone and the doorway is an Umbral Flowerbed. Plant a Vestige Seedling on it in preparation for the fights ahead.

If you head back to the first doorway and the closed gate and head to the left. This leads to the optional Boss fight we skipped temporarily. Step inside the large open field where The Lightreaper will engage you in another fight. This fight seems to be optional as even if you can't defeat him here, you'll be able to progress and move to the next Locations from the recent Umbral Flowerbed. It's important to note that if you fail to defeat The Lightreaper here, you won't encounter him again even if you return to this open area.

Head past the previous flowerbed to an open area. Head up the path to your left to reach a circular section with a large tree in the middle, guarded by a Proselyte in Axiom. On the other side is a hanging corpse carrying two Faint Vigor Skulls. Transition to Umbral here and Soulflay the Umbral Belly on the large tree to claim a Saintly Quintessence. There's an Emergence Effigy near the entrance of this section if you want to transition back to Axiom.

Head back down and cross the archway this time. The path to the left circles around back to the gap in the wall in the previous area, giving you a shortcut back, along with another Animated Vigor Skull on a corpse. Head back to the other path through another archway. In this section there'll be some stairs to your left moving forward, and another archway to your right which a Proselyte is patrolling. There are some Unripe Berries for you to pick up in the corner to the right of the stairs.

Head out the archway to the right to find some more Enemies to clear up. If you move forward you'll find a closed gate. In front of it is the Ring of Night's Fire. When you're ready to progress, follow the path up the stairs to a ladder. Head up the ladder and then keep moving forward until you get to some stairs leading down to the Taxidermist's Hammer in a room with some barrels stacked together. Enter the doorway here to reach Lower Calrath.

Go down the stairs

After heading out the doorway from Fitzroy's Gorge, you'll find yourself in Lower Calrath, in what looks like a burning village. Move forward along the path to eventually find a Stigma to Soulflay on your right. You'll get the usual two Umbral Scourings and the Wooden Dark Crusader Cross for listening in. Move forward until you can't anymore and then cross the bridge on your right. At the end of the path, you'll find yourself inside a burning building with a large staircase. Tucked into a small section to the right of the staircase are three Fire Wards. Head up the stairs to find and activate the Vestige of Sebastian.

From the Vestige, head out through the gap on the wall and then turn left. Head down the wooden planks to find a Heavenly Vial on a corpse near a banner. Head back up and then follow the path on the other side to jump and grab the Map of Lower Calrath on the raised wooden planks. Move forward and go down from the flanks to get some Smite Salts in the corner. When you're ready, follow the path to the right for a Boss fight against the Infernal Enchantress. After you defeat her, you'll be rewarded with the Infernal Enchantress Flail, Infernal Enchantress Helm, Infernal Enchantress Flesh, and a Vestige Seed. The Infernal Enchantress Flesh is given to Damarose the Marked later at the Shrine of Adyr to continue her quest if you haven't yet cleansed any beacons at this point. Before doing so, you'll have to find and give her the Adyr-Worshipper's Saw that we'll be getting later.

A couple of steps before the huge pyre is an Umbral Flowerbed. Past the huge pyre, there's a little alley in the corner to the right that leads to the Magma Ring on a charred corpse, past some breakable jars. From there, move forward across to some stairs. At the top, you'll find a path on the left that leads to a shortcut gate that doesn't open from your side. Hidden to the left of the gate by the burning plant is the Pyric Cultist Flail you can pick up from a corpse.

Head back and move forward along the opposite upward path. As you do, look to the right to find a wooden pathway leading down. Follow it and then use your Umbral Lamp to cross the broken bridge. Keep moving forward with your Umbral Lamp as you cross the rooftops. You'll eventually find yourself in an upper area of the burning building where the Vestige of Sebastian lies. Kick down the ladder to make a shortcut for yourself to the Vestige.

Head back on the upward path to head all the way up this time. As you get near the house on your right transition to Umbral so you can bypass the small gate past the hound. Soulflay the Umbral Belly just past the gate to get the Grievous Ring. Circle around the house to another small gate and then follow the path forward going up a ridge. You should find an Emergence Effigy shortly on your left if you want to transition back to Axiom. A bit past the effigy is a corpse carrying an Ammunition Satchel and two Manastone Clusters.

Proceed under the tunnel ahead of you. Shortly after you emerge to the other side, you'll find another Umbral Flowerbed on your left. Follow the path down the wooden planks until you reach the broken bridge. Turn right, head up the stairs, and then follow the narrow path to the right in front of the small house to find a Poisoning Knife. Transition to Umbral here and then head back to the stairs. Before you continue heading up, Soulflay the target just by the stairs going down. Proceed to the top of the stairs to find an Umbral Tumor here in place of the large fire covering the wall. Move past the tumor to find the second target you need above you and Soulflay it to destroy the tumor. Proceed past the tumor to a rooftop with an Umbral Belly guarded by a Womb of Despair. Soulflay it to pick up Rosamund's Sword.

Head back down to the broken bridge and Soulflay the target on the platform and allow yourself to cross. Once you're across, drop to a narrow landing to your left. Break the wooden boards in the corner here in the alcove and follow the narrow path to some Cinder Arrows. When you head back up you'll find an Emergence Effigy you can use to exit back to Axiom. Head up the inclined wooden planks to your left to move forward.

At the top, you'll find a minor Infernal Enchantress. Be careful of her explosion attack when her health gets low, or if you get too close. If you die here and transition to Umbral involuntarily, you'll also have a Bringer of Stillness to contend with. Once you're in the clear, you can move forward a bit and make a U-turn to your left to get the Bow of the Convert on a corpse by the wooden fence. There are locked double doors nearby that you'll need the Sunless Skein Key to open.

Head back and go straight ahead you'll find another Soulflay target across another gap. Afterward, head down the rooftop to the right first and then head to the other side of this lower ledge to find another target to Soulflay. Doing so will bring a platform closer to the bridge so you can cross. Head back up and do so. There's another Emergence Effigy waiting for you on the other side.

Head up the narrow path to your left and then dash across the narrow wooden planks in front of you and head down to rush the Husks. At the end of this ledge are four Small Deralium Fragments on a corpse that's sat up. Head back and progress forward through the planks. At the end of it will be a ladder you can push down, and an Umbral Flowerbed right at the doorway.

Climb down the ladder and then head past it down the wooden path, to find The Iron Wayfarer before the path to the wharf. A bit past him are some breakable objects hiding the Ornx Rune. Turn around and find your way to the tunnel under the bridge to find a Stigma. Transition to Umbral and Soulflay it and get the usual two Umbral Scourings.

From there, drop down to a lower section where there'll be Enemies waiting for you. The item near the stairs is just a Ravenous Fascinator so Soulflay it. There's a little corner down here where you can find the Dark Oath Armour Tinct. Head up the stairs to find an Emergence Effigy you can use to transition back out to Axiom. Follow the path from there to jump back to the tunnel under the bridge. This time, turn right along the downward path beside a house. As you go down, look to the right for two Regular Deralium Nuggets on a corpse. Head back up, cross the tunnel back to the other side, and head down to the wharf.

Head up the wooden platforms through the stairs on your right. Across the stairs you just climbed will be a wooden bridge that's raised up, so you can't cross it for now. Turn left onto a narrower bridge you can cross instead. On the other side will be four Small Deralium Fragments. Head back across and down the stairs and head to the edge of the wharf to find the Defiled Infantry Bow. Turn around and look to your right to find a shortcut gate you can open which is the gate from before, up the stairs from where you defeated the Infernal Enchantress Boss. When you're done here, head back all the way and up the ladder to the doorway with the Umbral Flowerbed.

Enter the doorway and head up the stairs. Pick up the Map of Calrath Slums and then turn around and head up another short set of stairs that take you up to the Vestige of Lydia the Numb Witch. Head back down to the room with the dining table and this time turn left and enter the doorway past the table. To your immediate left, you'll find Drustan sitting down with his helmet on. Speak to him to get the Wheezing Gesture, and then speak to him again to help him out with some Unripe Berries.

Head back inside and this time head to the doorway past the dining table across to the left. Head down the stairs here to find the Prole Set on a corpse amidst the breakable objects. If you head further down you'll find some Husks and a large hole in the wall. You'll have to drop here but do so very carefully and try to aim for a spot that's safe from the mines. After you carefully avoid them and head out of the alley, head on the path straight ahead first but head up the raised ground on your right. Head to the left of the house and into a narrow path where you can pick up two Ammunition Pouches and Small Manastone Clusters. Keep going to pick up the Guardian Armour Tinct from another corpse.

Head back toward the alley where you came from first and then turn right to take the other path which ends with a wall that you can bypass with the Umbral Lamp. Behind it will be some stairs leading up to an Umbral Flowerbed. On the ledge above the flowerbed is a chest containing some Fire Salts, Holy Salts, Wither Salts, and the Sword of Skin and Tooth.

Head back out of the wall and head up the stairs to your right to the higher levels of the burning houses. Jump down here and head down two floors to find the Scale-Breaker. The wall here with a hole can be bypassed with the Umbral Lamp or by transitioning to Umbral. Outside, you can grab three Fire Wards. Head back inside and find your way back up. Move forward across the stairs and jump over the gap to the next house, and then cross the planks to the next one as well. As you enter the next house by breaking all the wood, head further in. As you emerge across the short plank to another house Transition to Umbral to lessen the fires temporarily. Soulflay the Stigma to your immediate left and get the usual two Umbral Scourings. Past the Stigma will some Cinder Bolts on a corpse. Head back where you came from and turn left to cross the parallel planks. Keep moving forward to find Adyr's Mark Ring hiding behind some breakable boxes. Turning left afterward and dropping onto the street will take you to a fallen tree.

Head down the stairs to an open area with a large burning tree. When it's safer, Soulflay the Umbral Belly on the large tree to pick up the Antediluvian Chisel. On the same side where the Umbral Belly was, you can pick up three more Fire Wards amidst some impaled corpses. Past the large tree, there's a little alley to the left where you can pick up Tassara's Axe.

Head up the partially buried stairs to find an Umbral Flowerbed. Follow the raised wooden path to an Emergence Effigy you can use to exit out of Umbral. After the next inclined plank on the roof, head to the left to kick down a wooden wall and make a shortcut leading to the upper floors of the burning houses you explored before. As you head up the top rooftops, turn right and head to the edge to enter a doorway hiding two Regular Deralium Nuggets inside as well as another Umbral Flowerbed.

Head back onto the center of the rooftops and cross the narrow white bridge. Climb down the ladder and then go up the stairs to your right. Transition to Umbral to climb up the short ladder and quickly enter the house for two more Regular Deralium Nuggets on a corpse. As you head out the other side, push the ladder down so you have a way back up from the ground level. Rush past the next wooden ledge and follow the path inside to an Emergence Effigy. Head on down the stairs to the ground level and turn around to a cracked wall. Bypass it with your Umbral Lamp to pick up the Serrated Staff and find an Umbral Flowerbed. Plant a Vestige Seedling on it so you can get back here easily. Outside, you can rush by and get an Animated Vigor Skull inside the tent straight ahead.

Rush back and head up the sloping path just outside the Umbral Flowerbed. Follow the path until you reach a ladder leading up to a higher area. Before heading up, exit to the wooden terrace on the other side and pick up the Purifying Balm from the charred corpse. Follow the path to the right to reach a ladder you can push down that leads back to the dining table and the Vestige of Lydia the Numb Witch at the alehouse.

Head up the wooden planks to the right. As you emerge on the rooftops, carefully claim Ravager Gregory's Rosary from the impaled corpse. Jump into the hole on the wooden floor inside the burning house to the right of the impaled corpse. When you land, you should see a smaller hole in the wooden wall to your right. Carefully walk on the beam to reach the Split Crossbow.

Use the Vestige of Lydia the Numb Witch just below you to teleport back to the Vestige Seedling you planted. Keep heading up the slope and the stairs until you reach the ladder again and climb it this time. Break the wooden barrels when you reach the top for two Faint Vigor Skulls. Hold up your Umbral Lamp to the back wall here to bypass it to a secret room, which has another Umbral Flowerbed, as well as a chest containing the Lava Burst Spell in a chest.

Return to the previous room, head up the ramp, and then move past the breakable objects to the left to find a narrow bridge to cross. On the other side, transition to Umbral and Soulflat the Umbral Belly to get a Saintly Quintessence. Head down one floor and carefully walk past a large fallen bell to find the Fallen Lord's Sword. Head down one more floor and climb down the ladder. Head out the opening on your right first to get three Wither Wards at the edge of the broken staircase.

When you're ready, head all the way back up the structure and cross the narrow bridge back. Take the path to the opposite side this time to find some Burn Cures and Ignite Cures. Head inside the building, head up one set of stairs and transition to Umbral to find a ladder up. Continue up the stairs to emerge in another burning street. Head to the left to find an Emergence Effigy just past the stairs, and an Umbral Flowerbed further at the end of the path.

Across the stairs is an opening on the broken wall. Head to it and turn right to find the Ring of Nourishment on a charred corpse. The path on the other side is guarded by another minor Infernal Enchantress and her own team of Husks. Deal with them and then break the carriages in front of the opening. Head down the stairs leading to Upper Calrath and get ready to face the Spurned Progeny.

As you head down the stairs from the large doorway in Lower Calrath, you'll emerge in Upper Calrath, with the grizzly sight of the Spurned Progeny about to eat some corpses. It will notice you and the Boss fight against him will ensue. After you defeat him, you'll receive the Giant Eyeball, a Spurned Progeny Flesh, a Vestige Seed, and eight Umbral Scourings. Soulflay the Stigma he leaves behind to claim the Remembrance of a Spurned Progeny along with the usual two Umbral Scourings. The Spurned Progeny Flesh is given to Damarose the Marked at the Shrine of Adyr to continue her quest if you haven't yet cleansed any beacons at this point. Before doing so, you'll have to find and give her the Adyr-Worshipper's Saw that we'll be getting later.

There's an Umbral Flowerbed in front of the Stigma if you need one to plant a Vestige Seedling. Head to the tunnel after the first platform to your left from the gate back to Lower Calrath to find some stairs leading up to the Vestige of Doln. Enter the gate to the right of the Vestige. Before exiting out of the next gate, turn around and bypass the bars with your Umbral Lamp to pick up the Map of Upper Calrath Mining District. Head back and move forward. Grab the Justiciar Armour Tinct on the ground to your left as you follow the path down. Keep watch for a short set of narrow stairs on your right leading to a small closed gate that's blocked off by a petrified body. You can actually bypass the obstacle with your Umbral Lamp and drop down to a corpse carrying the Scornful Effigy. Find your way back, using the Umbral Lamp as necessary, and then keep following the path. You'll eventually find three Minor Holy Salts on a dead corpse to the right of a path that's barred off. Move forward to find the Old Mournstead Large Sword on a corpse to your left as you emerge out of the doorway.

Turn left past the doorway and look to your left to find three Fire Wards on a little alley. If you catch the attention of the minor Infernal Enchantress below you, you'll be bombarded by explosions like before so keep nimble here. When it's safe to, transition to Umbral to reveal a platform in front of the gap in the fence right across the doorway you came from. Get on it, look to the left, and head up the thorny path to cross the archway right above you. Drop down the other side and then Soulflay the Umbral Belly on a small balcony to get the Crushing Gaze. Head out the balcony and then Soulflay the target to bring out a closer platform you can jump to and head back. There's an Emergence Effigy right by the doorway if you want to transition back to Axiom.

Before you do, move a bit forward from the doorway and then look across to your right before the stairs that go down. Soulflay the Umbral Belly above and then jump across to pick up the Pendant of Parting. You can head back to the Emergence Effigy now if you'd like but ultimately follow the path down now. There's another Emergence Effigy for you amidst the broken bricks. When you move forward to a section filled with spears and a catapult, the item on a corpse on a gap in the wall is another Ravenous Fascinator, so Soulflay it and don't pick it up. To the right of the catapult is the Pledge to Adyr Gesture.

Follow the path down to an Umbral Belly you can Soulflay for a Saintly Quintessence. Look up to the large tree to find an item on a hanging corpse. Strike it down to pick up the Vessel Root. On the other side of the path you came down should be a hidden staircase. It will lead to some steel bars you can bypass with the Umbral Lamp, or if you're in Umbral, leading to a Banner Javelin of Protection. Head back down and progress forward up the stairs to an area with more breakable objects. On the far corner to the right is a corpse carrying the Old Mournstead Sword. As you head up, look to the left to find three Regular Deralium Nuggets hiding in a tent. At the top of the path, drop down the gap into an Umbral Flowerbed. In the corner here, you can find a Lump Hammer.

The gap here leads back down to the previous area. Open the door adjacent to the gap and get the Adyr's Authority Spell immediately ahead of you on an open book. Head down to the lower floor, transition to Umbral and Soulflay the Stigma to get the usual two Umbral Scourings. Behind the Stigma is the Chipped Rune Tablet in the fireplace.

Head out past the white curtain to the left of the fireplace to find an Emergence Effigy, and past it a spiral staircase going up and down. Head up one floor to find the Overseer Set in a chest. Head back and take the stairs down this time. Soulflay the Ravenous Fascinator flaunting another fake item orb here. If you do fall for it, there will be a Womb of Despair waiting for you. Thankfully, there's also an Emergence Effigy waiting for you out the doorways.

Find your way to the stack of breakable boxes. Break them to find four Small Deralium Fragments. There should be a wooden beam you can drop onto ahead of you so carefully do so. Transition to Umbral and jump on the platform at the end of this narrow path to get to a secret room. Soulflay the Umbral Belly here to get the Umbral Tome. From here, head all the way down the stairs and pull the lever before the gate to raise it. Immediately after the gate is the Map of Sunless Skein on an open book. Follow the tunnels until the path forks to enter the Sunless Skein and find the Vestige of Hooded Antuli.

Explore the Sunless Skein area starting from the noble's house in Upper Calrath A. Move forward through the tunnels. At a fork, go left to find a door requiring the Sunless Skein Key. Go right to reach the Vestige of Hooded Antuli on raised ground. Activate it, then follow the straightforward path ahead, marked by cart tracks. This leads you to the first part of the Sunless Skein with enemies like Corrupted Penitents and Pilgrims. This area consists of interconnected mines and caverns, so be mindful of directions.

Near the locked gate, grab the loot for x4 Small Deralium Fragment. Proceed past the gate, then turn sharply left to reach the elevated area with Pilgrims. Return to the path and take the nearest wooden stairs, leading to another tunnel with Corrupted Penitents. Keep an eye out for barrels to destroy, revealing a hidden space with an additional x4 Small Deralium Fragment. Once the enemies are cleared, notice the closest opening blocked by iron bars. Utilize the Umbral Lamp to pass through and continue along the tunnel.

Proceed straight and reach a dead end with an item. Collect it for x2 Poison Cure. Return and take the other path. You'll find yourself on another straight path, but be cautious as a rolling barrel will approach. Let it pass and deal with the enemies. Towards the end, a Pilgrim will launch magic projectiles at you. The wooden pathway will collapse when stepped on, causing you to fall into a dark pit. No worries, it won't cause any damage. After the fall, deal with the ambushing Remnants. There's only one available path in this area, and you'll encounter more Remnants along the way. Follow the tunnel and notice that in Axiom, you can't proceed further due to the blocked path.

Perform an Umbral Rift and you'll see that in the Umbral, you can cross by moving along a clip to reach the other side. Absorb the exploding rocks along the cliffs to pass safely. Go inside the nearest tunnel on the other side of the cliff. While Umbral Rifting in the next area, you'll identify a Stigma of the falling men from a collapsing staircase. Soulflay it and obtain x2 Umbral Scouring. Take the nearest Emergence Effigy to return to Axiom. Ascend the nearest wooden staircase leading to the upper area. Once you reach the broken section of the staircase, you'll notice you can jump from it to access the previously unreachable area below where the stigma is located. In this small area, pick up x1 Devoted Chopper.

Head back to the wooden staircase and pass the broken section. Go through the nearest tunnel. Break the wooden barricade and collect the loot, obtaining a x1 Ring of the First of the Beasts. Follow the straight path ahead to reach the upper part of the first area. At the end of the wooden platforms, there's a ladder to pull down for a shortcut. Close by, there's a lever to unlock the gate you encountered earlier. Instead of taking the wooden ladder, head to the unexplored pathway. At the end, jump to a lower ledge to find an x1 Enhanced Fire Grenade. From here, you can go to the Vestige of Hooded Antuli to rest before moving on.

Head through the gate you opened, entering a long tunnel. After leaving the tunnel, clear any enemies and go up the nearest wooden ladder. Follow the tunnel. When you exit, you'll be in an area with a large wooden cogwheel. If you go up the stairs leading to the upper section, you'll find x1 Basic Bolts. You'll realize you're on the opposite side of the hole you fell into. Return to the cogwheel and spot a nearby loot. Collect it for x1 Ammunition Satchel and x2 Manastone Cluster.

Not far from your location, head to the area where there are a lot of candles lined up to light the place. You will also notice an over-extending platform where there are items that you can pick up. Receive the following rewards, x1 Pointed Stick and an x1 Edict's Aim. Head back to the large cogwheel and notice that before you head and proceed, there's a plank that you can jump onto to reach the tunnel. Do so and follow the path and eventually, you will find the x1 Fulvirano Shield, situated on a dead body.

Now, return to the gate you unlocked to enter this area. Instead of climbing the ladder, continue straight. You're on the right track if you come across a locked gate. This is the second shortcut. To move forward, face the locked door, turn right, and locate a tunnel leading to an opening blocked by iron bars. Use your lamp and find an Umbral Flowerbed after the iron bars. Activate it if you want to set a checkpoint. Navigating the upcoming areas will be complex due to their interconnected nature.

Use the Umbral Lamp to reach the next exit with iron bars. You're on track if you spot a large hole to jump into. Activate the Umbral Rift and go down to the lower area. You'll see a blocked path to Soulflay. Do it to find the Mining Stigma. Soulflay it to trigger an event and obtain x2 Umbral Scouring. Also, before leaving, grab x2 Enervated Vigor Skull and x2 Regular Deralium Nuggets.

After leaving the hole with the stigma, go straight and the path will split. Turn right and pick up the x1 Shield of Whispers along the way. Follow the path and head towards an area with many enemies. You're on track if there's a Womb of Despair enemy in the group. Defeat all enemies and collect the x1 Putrefaction on the ground. Once the area is clear, follow the unmarked path to discover a series of wooden staircases. In Umbral, you'll find an Emergence Effigy between these stairs. Continue along the path, and once more, it will split. Take a sharp left to find a ladder leading down. At the end of this lower path, grab the Miner's Pendant.

Go back to where the path is divided and take the unexplored route. Not far from there is the locked gate shortcut to unlock. Clear out any enemies and collect x4 Small Deralium Fragment on the way. Reach the shortcut and unlock it. Nearby, grab another x4 Small Deralium Fragment. With the shortcut open, you can rest at the nearest vestige if you wish.

Return to the previous area and observe that the lower part is flooded. To continue, use the Umbral Rift to reach the lower section. In this area, there's a wealth of loot to collect. Begin by Soulflaying the nearest Umbral Belly to obtain x1 Nartun and x1 Enervated Vigor Skull. Expect many enemies in this Umbral realm, so proceed with care. Keep in mind that in addition to the Remnants, a Mendacious Visage will appear. Time your attacks and eliminate all the enemies. Once all enemies are dealt with, take note of the platform blocking the ladder.

Soulflay it for later access. Close to a tunnel entrance, find a loot with the following items: x1 Mask of Wrath, x1 Tumul, x1 Vigor Moth, x1 Vestige Seed, and x1 Briostone Trio. Return to the ladder and grab x2 Animated Vigor Skull. Use the nearest ladder and find the Vestige of Catrin nearby. Rest if needed. After interacting with the Vestige, talk to Byron. He'll share a story about his relationship with Catrin and how she left this world. He'll also mention Catrin's missing memento. You'll receive x1 Bemoaning Gesture after speaking with Byron.

After exploring the Umbral side, return to the Vestige of Catrin and rest. Now, let's focus on the Axiom side. Go back to Axiom and revisit the flooded area. Take a sharp left and spot a lever and a locked bridge shortcut. Start with the lever and activate it. This will open the nearby floodgate, draining the water. With the lower area now accessible, use the nearby ladder to get down. Nearby, there's a dead body with loot. Grab an x1 Ring of Bones. Near the body, go to the floodgate and pick up another loot, getting you an x1 Animated Vigor Skull. Head to the upper area and see that you can go around to unlock the nearby wooden bridge shortcut. Along the way, collect another x1 Animated Vigor Skull. Interact with the wooden bridge to unlock the shortcut.

To continue, go through the tunnel ahead. Inside, you'll face a Rhogar Hound and a Proselyte. It's a challenging fight, especially for melee fighters due to limited space. Focus on the Rhogar Hound first, then take down the Proselyte. Move on to the next area where you'll encounter a Trapper and another Rhogar Hound. Defeat them and find a hidden treasure chest behind the barrels and crates. Inside, you'll find x1 Sovereign Protector Gauntlets, x1 Sovereign Protector Leggings, x1 Sovereign Protector Armour, and x1 Sovereign Protector Helm. After acquiring the Sovereign set, you'll notice another locked gate. Go up the stairs past the gate to enter another long tunnel. Use the Umbral Lamp to bypass the iron bars, then ascend the wooden staircase.

This leads to an area with an Emergence Effigy. Take out the Pilgrim to explore safely. Be cautious, as you'll encounter another Proselyte. After dealing with the Proselyte, the path splits. Before heading to the nearest tunnel, pull down the ladder located at the end of the platform. Before heading into the tunnel, notice that there is a lower platform with a loot near the tunnel entrance. Transfer in Umbral so you can pass through the iron bars blocking the platform. Get an x1 Saintly Quintessence as a reward. Proceed to the tunnel entrance, loot a dead body for x3 Poison Salts, and follow the tunnel. You'll reach a ladder—climb it, follow the platform, and go straight to find a loot, which is an x1 Cursed Effigy. Drop into the hole and handle the Rhogar Hound that attacks you. Grab x1 Berinon's Ring from a nearby dead body. Spot a lever on a bridge close by. Go there and pull it to unlock the second iron gate. If you want, you can now go back to the previous area, perhaps to visit the Vestige of Catrin.

After unlocking the Second Iron Gate, look for a loot atop a cage nearby. Use your Umbral Lamp to reveal a root bridge connecting the platforms. Collect the loot, obtaining a x1 Sunless Skein Key. It's worth noting that Sunless Skein doesn't have any Bosses or Colossal Bosses. With the second locked gate shortcut open, you've completed this area. In the next section, we'll be exploring the Cistern, so be sure to come prepared.

Starting from the unlocked iron gate shortcut or where you got the Sunless Skein Key, you'll face a Trapper and Rhogar Hound in a long hallway. Defeat them and head to the nearest exit, leading to a tower-like area with a large flooded lower section. Move through this level using the spiraling stone staircases. Instead of going up, turn left and follow the staircase down to the lower areas. At the end, there's an opening to pass through. Afterward, you'll find a long hallway with accessible cells. At the end, the path splits in two. Go left, and you'll see another split. Keep following the hallway until you reach a dead end with an Umbral Belly. Soulflay it to receive an x1 Nohuta Effigy. Nearby, pick up another loot for x2 Poison Cure.

Return to the split path from your current location. At the end of the long hallway, there's a wooden ladder to climb. Go up and you'll be in a room with an Emergence Effigy and a locked gate requiring a Drainage Control Key to open. If you're in Umbral, touch the Effigy to return to Axiom. For now, don't worry about the door. Head to the area through the nearest pathway. There, you'll encounter a Proselyte and a Rhogar Hound, take them down efficiently. Further down the hall, you'll spot a glowing altar. Approach it and a Raw Mangler will appear. After dealing with it, loot the altar for an x1 Adyr-Worshipper's Saw. If you haven't cleansed any beacons and still have Damarose the Marked available to you, you can return to the Shrine of Adyr to hand over the Adyr-Worshipper's Saw to her. She'll then ask for three pieces of Rhogar's flesh, two of which you may have at this point. From where you obtained the Adyr-Worshipper's Saw, use your lamp to locate a Stigma in the area, and Soulflay it to receive an x2 Umbral Scouring.

Return to the long hallway where the path first split. Go there to continue our progress in that area. As you enter, the path splits again. Take the right path, and you'll end up on a series of stone staircases. Along the way, grab x3 Ignite Salts. In the room, you'll find the ladder shortcut. Pull it down, deal with the Raw Mangler, and pick up the loot on an Umbral Flowerbed to get an x1 Unblinking Root. Optionally, you can activate a Vestige Seedling here. Notice another path beside the wooden ladder. Follow it and pick up the loot on the ground for an x1 Ammunition Satchel and x2 Manastone Cluster. Nearby, there's a locked iron gate you can now unlock. You'll recognize this as the area where you got the Sunless Skein Key.

Return to the activated ladder shortcut, but this time, don't use the ladder. Instead, go back to the stone staircases you encountered before unlocking the ladder. Remember where the path split before reaching the staircases? Ensure you're in Umbral mode, as this area is flooded. We'll explore the other available hallway. Follow the long straight hallway, and you'll return to the tower-like area with ample space. In Umbral, you'll see floating iron cells to progress. Be cautious, as you could fall into a deep sinkhole. While moving on the iron cells, you'll notice a lower area nearby to jump into. Be prepared, as you'll face two mini-bosses down there.

Another way of reaching the lower ground is to reach the staircase nearest to Cistern's entrance. This is the area where the tunnel and pathway are located leading to the area where you have obtained the Sunless Skein Key. Notice that there are platforms that you can step on to reach the nearby Umbral Belly, situated on one of the platforms. Soulflay it and receive Nohuta Polearm.

You will be dealing with three bosses at a later phase but when the battle starts, you will only be dealing with one target. These bosses are just enhanced reaper-like beings that hunt you when you stay at Umbral. On the other hand, all bringers have identical movesets and its twin, The Bringer of Nullity will only spawn when you successfully lower the Bringer of Stillness HP down to 50%. And then the last boss will spawn after a certain amount of time. Which is the Bringer of Silence. These bosses are not so hard to deal with due to their fair melee attack movesets. Timing in your attacks as usual will do the work but one thing that you need to pay attention to is their ambush attacks. What this attack does is, it will materialize itself disappear into thin air, and pull an ambush attack from the ground.

While this fight may seem tough due to the two-on-one situation, focus on one Bringer to make it easier. Be cautious on this platform to avoid falling while dodging attacks. Ensure you have enough space before moving around. After the fight, you'll receive these rewards: x1 Left-hand Bringer of Stillness Sword, x1 Stillness Hood, x1 Vestige Seed, x1 Dimexus, and x5 Umbral Scouring. If you're struggling with these mini-bosses, check out our detailed Bosses page for helpful guides on defeating specific bosses.

After defeating the mini-bosses, use Soulflay on the nearest platform to activate the bridge. This allows you to cross and reach a nearby shortcut. Before going through the door, Soulflay the nearby Umbral Belly to obtain a x1 Marco's Axe. Once you have the loot, unlock the gate, giving you access to the previously explored areas. Visit the nearest Vestige or Vestige Seedling to upgrade and restock your inventory. We'll face another mini-boss soon. Return to the area where you fought the mini-bosses, but this time, instead of going down, go up the staircase to the upper parts. Follow the staircases, and you'll eventually reach the boss arena where the Skinstealer awaits.

The Skinstealer primarily uses cleavers for attacks. While it may seem imposing, it's a fairly manageable foe. It tends to employ combinations of slashes and charges at targets. After each attack, it pauses, providing a chance to counter. It's wise to let it strike first, then respond. Keep this pattern going, and you'll defeat the Skinstealer. Your rewards for beating this mini-boss include x1 Drainage Control Key, x1 Skinstealer Cleaver, x1 Skinstealer Helm, and x1 Vestige Seed.

Next, we'll activate the Drainage Control Lever. Luckily, it's easy to find if you've been following this guide. Go to the locked gate, use the key to open it, and inside, you'll see a lever to pull. This action will make most of the flooded areas more accessible since much of the water has been drained. Grab the closest loot to receive a x1 Heavenly Vial.

To continue, return to the tower-like area where you fought Skinstealer. Instead of going into the boss arena, we'll explore the lower regions again. Since you've drained the water in the surroundings, this area is now accessible. As you reach the tower-like area, you'll notice you can jump onto the floating cages even without using Umbral Rifting. Hop onto them and collect x3 Regular Deralium Nuggets from one of the cages along the way. Keep following the floating cages, and you'll eventually enter a long tunnel that leads to the mentioned caverns.

Here, you'll explore a network of connected caverns along with scaffoldings and platforms. While technically part of the Revelation Depths area, we're including it under Cistern as we'll be unlocking a crucial shortcut leading back to Sunless Skein. Follow the direct path and you'll find an Emergence Effigy. Keep going, and you'll come across a ladder to descend. After the ladder, grab a nearby loot at the start of the long wooden bridge, receiving x1 Erratic Journal Entry. This spot is also an Umbral Flowerbed, so you can activate a Vestige Seedling if you want. To move on, cross the wooden bridge over the chasm. At the end, there's another loot to collect, giving you x3 Ammunition Satchel and x2 Large Manastone Cluster.

Continue along the direct path and you'll come across another ladder. Descend and pick up the x3 Regular Deralium Nuggets near it. Be cautious, as a Pilgrim will try to push you towards the cliffs. Deal with both Pilgrims and collect the x2 Large Deralium Shards. Follow the platform and it will eventually split into two. Head towards the direction with a loot, but be aware that the platform will collapse when stepped on. Stick to the outer edge to avoid falling. You'll be rewarded with an x1 Animated Vigor Skull. If you happen to fall, use the nearby staircase to retrieve the loot. On this platform, activate Umbral Rift to cross to the other side, as there's a stone platform to step onto.

Move forward and you'll see a nearby tunnel and a wooden ladder. Pull down the ladder for later use, and grab the loot nearby to get a x1 Pertiax and x1 Pickaxe. After dealing with the enemies, you can use the nearby Emergence Effigy to return to Axiom. Close to the effigy, there's another loot, an x1 Enervated Vigor Skull. There's a wooden structure nearby; break the planks blocking it, and inside you'll find a x1 Shovel-Head. Go out and near the Effigy, you'll notice a tunnel blocked with planks. Break them, clear the enemies, and receive x2 Large Deralium Shards. This is a dead end, so return to the ladder and head down to the lower parts of the caverns. As you reach the bottom, pick up an x1 Old Mournstead Pike from a dead body.

Exiting the tunnel brings you to the lower parts of the caverns. Grab the nearby loot, an x1 Replete Vigor Skull. Not far from here, there's an exit leading to more scaffoldings and platforms. We're close to finishing this area. Follow along the cliffs and you'll come across an area with Corrupted Penitents just before the actual scaffoldings. Deal with them, grab the x2 Large Deralium Shards, and move on to the scaffoldings. There's a nearby ladder; use it to descend to the lower areas. Near the lift, you'll encounter a Pilgrim hurling magic spells at you. Defeat it and step onto the lift to continue.

Ride the lift to reach Byron's location in Sunless Skein, near the Vestige of Katrin. But before you approach it, be sure to unlock the nearby shortcut and pick up the loot, which is a x1 Miner's Desperation. Take a moment to rest and recover. For now, we'll leave this area, but be aware that there are mini-bosses to face later. You've already covered most of Sunless Skein and Cistern at this point.

When ready, go to where you faced the Skinstealer and use the Bell Elevator. This takes you to a new area, Upper Calrath. Upon arrival, activate the Vestige of the Forgotten Guardian. With the key checkpoints already unlocked in Sunless Skein, Cistern, and the Vestige of the Forgotten Guardian, you have the choice to explore Upper Calrath later. Additionally, you can access the Revelation Depths through a shortcut near the Vestige of Catrin.

After going up the caged lift at the end of the Cistern in the Sunless Skein, you'll immediately find the Vestige of the Forgotten Guardian. Open the double doors and pick up the Map of Upper Calrath on your left. Near the same spot, transition to Umbral and Soulflay the Umbral Belly to pick up the Blacksmith's Pride. Head along the path to the opposite side to find a ladder underneath the platform with a minor Infernal Enchantress. Deal with her promptly and find three Fire Wards on a corpse in the corner of this platform. Turn around, jump on the shed, and hop onto the concrete hand to get Queen Verena II's Ring.

If you drop back down and follow the path to the end, you'll find the way forward blocked off by an Umbral Tumor. Back on the platform where the Infernal Enchantress was, look around above you to find the target you need to Soulflay in order to get rid of the tumor. Hop back down and bypass the gate in Umbral. Following the path, you'll eventually find an Emergence Effigy on your left if you need to transition back to Axiom. Pick up the Oathbreaker Armour Tinct on the corpse as you head through the short tunnel.

Enter the open area and clear it of Enemies. You should be able to find an Ammunition Satchel along with two Manastone Clusters and three Bleed Salts on the left part of the area near the walls. On the other side should be three Fire Wards hiding behind some breakable wooden barricades, and some locked doors that you can't open from this side for now. Head out the doorway on the other side that's basked in a dim red hue. Head up the spiral stairs to find a Stigma you can Soulflay. Transition to Umbral and do to get the usual two Umbral Scourings.

Drop down and pick up the Rhogar Oil Flask from the ground. The path splits from here, but to the left, you should find an Emergence Effigy you can use to transition back to Axiom. Before you do so, however, look to the right to find another Stigma you can Soulflay a little above you to get another two Umbral Scourings. Past it is an Umbral Flowerbed you can set up a Vestige Seedling on. When you're ready, drop down the green tent and then open the doors ahead of you to open a shortcut back to the open circular area.

Turn around and follow the path on the other side now. Behind the stairs are two Magic Wards you might miss. Immediately ahead of it is yet another Stigma you can Soulflay after transitioning to Umbral for another two Umbral Scourings. Now that you're in Umbral, head back the opposite way and Soulflay a target above you to the right of the shortcut you opened to pull out a platform. Head up the now-visible ladder to drop down to the platform, cross to the other side, and climb a shorter ladder to find a chest on the terrace containing the Calrath Guardsman Set.

Get back on the path and move forward. You'll find another Emergence Effigy on your right, before the Stigma you just Soulflayed. Head through the doorway on your right and grab two Ignite Cures up a short stop on your left. Move forward into a narrower section which looks like it could've been some kind of marketplace. As you turn left you'll immediately find the Noblewoman Set. As you move forward, transition to Umbral and Soulflay the Stigma ahead for two more Umbral Scourings. Speak to The Iron Wayfarer to get some context on what you just witnessed. On the corner behind him, right before the marketplace's exit, is another Umbral Flowerbed. Plant a Vestige Seedling here and make sure to rest.

Head on out to immediately find an Emergence Effigy. Turn right and then drop down the gap to pick up two Vestige Moths. Drop down either side back to the marketplace and then head out to the right again but transition to Umbral this time. Soulflay the target by the gap to close it and allow yourself to cross over to a target you can Soulflay to get rid of the vines. Follow the path down and then Soulflay the Stigma to get the usual two Umbral Scourings for doing so.

Soulflay the Umbral Belly in the alley past the Stigma to pick up the Melted Dark Crusader Sword. Soulflay the two targets above the alley to move platforms to the left. Across the platforms are two Wither Salts on the ground. Head back up the stairs and step onto the platform to ultimately jump on the platforms you moved to acquire the Graveyard Fog Spell.

Head back and follow the path to the left this time when you head out. You'll find two Large Deralium Shards hiding in the small broken barrel on your left. Move forward and enter the open area where a minor Skinstealer is skulking about. The small booth on the right is hiding some Unripe Berries and Briostone Trios under breakable objects. Past that will be a doorway with a trail of blood. Turn to your left first and get the Moth Ring from the hanging corpse above. Follow the trail of blood to find a Banner Javelin of Assault on a corpse, in front of a ladder going up. If you've rested, The Iron Wayfarer relocates here beside a new Stigma. Transition to Umbral and Soulflay it to get the usual two Umbral Scourings. Like before, talk to him to get some context. The ladder will take you to an Umbral Flowerbed back in Skyrest Bridge. The end of the path will lead to some double doors that you couldn't open from the other side at the top of Skyrest Bridge, opposite the edge where you fight Pieta, She of Blessed Renewal.

Find your way back to where the path split with two Stigmas. Head on the path to the left this time. Be careful of the exploding Husks as you head up the narrow stairs. At the top, you'll find a hall where another minor Infernal Enchantress is waiting. Past her is a room containing the second Radiant Beacon. Move forward and cleanse it. After the cutscene, you can find some Bleed Salts on a corpse right by one of the large bells.

If you've talked to Andreas of Ebb after he relocated near the Vestige in Skyrest Bridge, before defeating the Spurned Progeny, you should already have the Fief Key in your possession. Otherwise, if you head back there now he'll leave behind the key on his spot to the right of the Vestige. When you're ready, Fief Key in hand, teleport to the Vestige of Marco the Axe in the Abandoned Redcopse. Step forward to the large gate with a bell at the center that's frozen over and use the Fief Key to open it and enter the Fief of the Chill Curse.

Fief of the Chill Curse is a notable snow-covered level in Lords of the Fallen. Navigating through its challenging terrain and interconnected structures is the key here. To commence your journey, secure the Fief Key from Andreas of Ebb, whom you'll find at Skyrest Bridge after defeating The Congregator of Flesh. Just have a chat with him, and he'll hand over the necessary key. With the Fief Key in hand, head to the Vestige of Marco the Axe. From there, you'll easily spot the Bell Door leading to the Fief of the Chill Curse.

After passing through the Bell Door, you'll come across a cave. A Raw Mangler and a Pilgrim will greet you. Deal with them first. Near the cave entrance, there's a loot. Grab it to get a Map of the Fief of the Chill Curse. Not far from here, there's a well. Go there and collect the loot for a Splitting Axe. Enter the cave and follow the straightforward path. Use your Umbral Lamp to clear the way of an Umbral Entity. Smash some barrels in the area to uncover x3 Frostbite Cure. Deeper in the cave, you'll encounter an Emergence Effigy. Use it if you've shifted to Umbral. Keep following the path and get ready for a boss battle in a wide area ahead.

In this boss fight, Kinrangr Guardian Folard wields an axe and focuses on close-range attacks. He can also unleash an ice shockwave with decent range if you try to stay away. His attacks are slow, giving you opportunities to counter. The main danger here is his Kinrangr Hounds, so be cautious. Deal with them first, then focus on Folard for a quick victory. Afterward, you'll get x1 Frostbite Salts, x1 Kinrangr Guardian Axe, x1 Kinrangr Guardian Armour, x1 Kinrangr Guardian Trousers, and x1 Vestige Seed. Go to Umbral and you'll find an Umbral Belly nearby. Defeat it to get an x1 Antediluvian Chisel. Head towards the slope to exit the cave. Outside, you'll come across castle or outpost ruins. Activate the closest Vestige, which is the Vestige of Svornil.

To move forward, go to Umbral and Soulflay the Dark Crusader Stigma nearby. You'll receive x2 Umbral Scouring. Access the closest platform above. Grab the x1 Ammunition Satchel and x2 Large Manastone Cluster. Follow the slope, and it will lead you to a long road with wrecked carriages. Watch out for Kinrangr Hounds ambushing you. In one of the wreckage, find x1 Lawless. Keep following the road, and you'll come across another Stigma in another wreckage. Soulflay the King Stigma and get x2 Umbral Scouring again. After this event, a Kinrangr Hunter will appear. Take care of it and continue on.

Nearby, there's a barricaded gate. Grab the loot, an x1 Enhanced Lacerating Knife, by the gate. Use the ladder nearby to reach upper platforms and cross to the other side. Jump down to a lower area where you'll spot the next Sentinel Beacon not far away. Follow the road in the direction of the beacon. You'll eventually come across a broken stone bridge. Past it, there's another wooden bridge with loot. Collect it for x3 Frostbite Cure. Be aware that a Kinrangr Guardian and Hunter will appear. Deal with them before exploring further. Once it's safe, cross the wooden bridge near the stone bridge, and you'll find an Umbra Rift. Notice the extended cliff nearby. Head to the additional platforms that have appeared, where you'll discover several more items: x1 Enervated Vigor Skull, x1 Seething Vigor Skull, x1 Replete Vigor Skull, and x1 Animated Vigor Skull.

After grabbing those items, return to the wooden bridge. Follow the cliff straight ahead and you'll come across an Emergency Effigy. Use it to go back to Axiom. There's another Kinrangr Hunter here, so be cautious. Near you, find the closest cave and collect x2 Fire Salts. Exit the cave, take a sharp left turn, and you'll spot another loot near a cliff. You'll get x2 Frostbite Resistance Balm. Nearby, there's a ruined church next to a wooden bridge. Go inside to face a mini-boss. Assuming you're in Umbral, deal with the numerous Remnants. Griefbound Rowena will appear, hurling ice projectiles at you. Dodge while thinning out the group. This mini-boss isn't too tough as it relies on ranged attacks. With a few well-placed strikes, you'll defeat it swiftly.

After dealing with Griefbound Rowena, step out of the building and take a sharp left. You'll see platforms nearby that you can use to cross near the outpost. There's a treasure chest you can open. Inside, you'll find x1 Shield of Thunder, x4 Small Deralium Fragment, and x2 Regular Deralium Nuggets.

Below the platform, there's a spot where you can jump down. Use the platform to get close before jumping. You'll encounter an Umbral Belly. Defeat it and get an x1 Saintly Quintessence. To continue, head to the nearest opening. This will lead you back to the outpost with the Vestige. Activate the lever to unlock the iron gate and pull down the ladder nearby to create a shortcut.

Go through the iron gate and you'll enter a ravine. Follow the path and find a loot near a carriage. You'll get x1 Fire Salts. Not far, there's another loot with x2 Frostbite Resistance Balm. Use the Umbral Rift, follow the ravine, and jump down at the end to a lower area. Pick up x1 Udirangr Shaman Bow. In the center, deal with the Umbral Belly for x1 Sunken Beseecher. Watch out for the lurking Mendacious Visage. Eliminate it to continue. Go up the slope and return to Axiom via the nearby Emergency Effigy. Follow the platform and hit the hanging item with a ranged weapon or spell for x3 Regular Deralium Nuggets.

There's an Umbral Flowerbed you can use. Follow the platform and notice a house nearby. Pull down the ladder to create a shortcut. From a nearby corpse, obtain an x1 Kinrangr Rebel's Hammer. Head to a nearby cave. Be cautious of falling icicle deposits - they're deadly. In Umbral, use the platform to cross the debris. Grab the Halting Gesture. There's a Griefbound in the area, so take care of it. Leave the cave and spot a settlement nearby. Another Kinrangr Hunter will appear. After dealing with it, go to the gate and use your lamp to pass through. Inside one of the houses, you'll find Drustan who's sensitive to the cold.

In Umbral, spot an Umbral Belly near the gate. Defeat the Mendacious Visage and Soulflay the belly. You'll get x1 Pestilent Blade. Take the closest wooden staircase leading to a lower area where a Kinrangr Hunter and Guardian are waiting. You'll be in the ruins of previous quarters. Look up and find hanging loot. Shoot it to receive x1 Errant. Nearby, you'll find x2 Regular Deralium Nuggets hidden in the ruined foundations.

To move on, head to the pathway under the bridge. You can also set up a Vestige Seedling since there's a flowerbed here. Cross the bridge and you'll arrive in an open area. Go to the nearest broken bridge ahead and collect the x1 Glacier Ring from a supporting pillar at the end. Continue along the pathway towards the ruined castle, easily visible from here. At the entrance, you'll encounter two Kinrangr Guardians. After dealing with them, grab the nearest loot, which is x2 Manastone Cluster and x1 Ammunition Satchel.

In Umbral, near the shed, you'll find a ladder leading to the castle gate's ramparts. Pick up x1 Frost Arrows. To proceed, head down and pass through the gate by entering the broken wall near the iron gate. Use the closest Emergence Effigy to return to Axiom. You'll now be navigating the roofs of nearby houses. Head to the lower area and follow the path further into the inner section of the area. You'll come across another iron gate tightly shut with a Kinrangr Guardian's dead body. Loot it to receive x1 Ancestor's Sword.

Head down the slope near you to reach the flooded residential district. Use Umbral to navigate safely. I'll use the town square's monument as a reference point since it has many entry points. Go into the Town Square and find the statue. Defeat the Umbral Belly on the statue to get x1 Putrid Child Sword. From there, find a wide path leading to an empty area with intact stone fences. Defeat the Umbral Belly here for a x1 Putrid Polearm. Return to the statue and locate a small alleyway. At the end, you'll find x2 Large Deralium Shards.

Near the statue, find an area with planks that lead to an upper level. Follow the rubble to the attic of the nearest house where there's an Umbral Flowerbed. Set up a Vestige Seedling for resting or upgrades. Nearby, there's a treasure chest with rewards: x1 Bow of the Mutilated, x4 Small Deralium Fragment, x3 Regular Deralium Nuggets, and x3 Ammunition Satchel. Continue following the debris to reach the nearest ruined house. Get x1 Animated Vigor Skull here. The path ahead is straightforward. Follow it to reach a ladder shortcut. Pull it down to unlock it. In Umbral, Soulflay the Experiment Stigma inside the nearest ruined house and receive x2 Umbral Scouring.

Cross the wooden bridge to access nearby roofs. There's loot on the nearby roof. x3 Ammunition Satchel and x2 Large Manastone Cluster. Go down for an x1 Animated Vigor Skull. Head to the ladder shortcut to reach upper areas with the Stigma. Return to the bridge and follow the rubble to the town square. If you spot an Emergency Effigy nearby, use it to go back to Axiom. Follow the floating debris to a nearly intact roof with a x1 Talon. Return to the stigma's location and the spot where you opened the treasure chest. If you're in Umbral, use the Emergency Effigy here to return to Axiom. Notice an opening to pass through. You'll end up on the other side of the previously locked gate. You're on track if it looks like the upper section of the residential district.

Keep climbing the stairs, and you'll find a treasure chest. Open it to get these items: x1 J'deyl Skull Helm, x1 J'deyl Bone Armour, x1 J'deyl Bone Gloves, and x1 J'deyl Trousers. Nearby, there's a broken outpost with loot inside. Use your Umbral Lamp to pass through the wooden barricade and collect x3 Frostbite Cure. Take the closest stone staircase leading up even further. Soon, you'll come across a Vestige to activate. Use the Vestige of Loash for a rest and upgrades before facing the Colossal Boss ahead.

The Hollow Crow's battle is unique, involving a gimmick. The fight's challenge depends on how quickly you can clear its summoned minions. Essentially, you're facing two bosses: Lucy, The Hollow Crow's companion, and The Hollow Crow itself. At the start, switch to Umbral to see Lucy. Harming Lucy also hurts The Hollow Crow. When Lucy's HP is empty, she'll temporarily leave the battle. The Hollow Crow will then attack with ice breath and homing ice stalagmites. Once Lucy has been taken care of, The Hollow Crow will be staggered and you can interact with it to deal the final blow. Get x1 Vestige Seed and x8 Umbral Scouring after the fight. Not far from your location, there is a tunnel that you can access and along the way, The Hollow Crow's Stigma can be Soulflayed. Get x2 Umbral Scouring and x1 Remembrance of the Hollow Crow as a reward.

Follow the tunnel and find an Emergence Effigy nearby. Use it to return to Axiom. Grab the x1 Kinrangr Leader's Axe next to the Effigy. Go up the nearest ladder, leading to a straightforward rampart that takes you to the tower beacon. Once inside the tower, head to the top using the wooden staircase. Eventually, you'll reach the beacon. Open the treasure chest near it to receive these rewards: x1 Deralium Chunk, x2 Large Deralium Shards, x3 Regular Deralium Nuggets, and x4 Small Deralium Fragments.

To continue, go back to the ladder we passed when entering the tower. It leads to an open area with a broken bridge. In this area, The Lightreaper will spawn and you will be forced to fight him. However, this is not going to be the final encounter with The Lightreaper thus, if you die here, he will leave the area and the fight will no longer continue. This is more of a theming fight to set the stage later on for the final bout. Just get the items in this area and move on. If you would like to know more about The Lightreaper or you are eager to know how to locate him to settle the score, head to our Bosses page or Bramis Castle Walkthrough. Collect the nearest loot, a x1 Animated Vigor Skull. Not far from here, there's a x1 Yorke's Ring. Return to the wooden bridge and switch to Umbral to cross the lake. Head right and you'll spot an Umbral Belly. Defeat it for a x1 Aelstrix. Take a sharp left turn and follow the lake.

After crossing the bridge, you'll come across submerged houses. There's an Umbral entity blocking your way. Defeat it and continue. In the next area, you'll encounter another Umbral Entity obstructing the path. You'll need to find and defeat the entity controlling it. Follow the alleyway and you'll spot an Umbral Entity on top of a nearby house. Defeat it to get an x1 Minor Wither Salts and an x1 Xiax. Keep going down the alley and you'll find an x1 Beast Axe from a deceased Kinrangr Guardian.

Return to the area and you'll find another blocked path. Soulflay the obstacle and proceed to the next section, which resembles a nest. Clear out the area. You'll come across an Umbral Belly, defeat it to obtain a x1 Rebirth Chrysalis. Not far from here, you'll find the Umbral Entity that's controlling the tumor and blocking the path we noticed earlier. Defeat it to unlock the path. This area will be filled with enemies like Mendacious Visage, so be careful as you clear it. Soulflay the Umbral Belly nearby to get an x1 Saintly Quintessence.

After finishing up here, go back to the lake and follow it until you come across a Stigma resembling a dying man. Defeat it to receive x2 Umbral Scouring. You'll then navigate a series of slopes leading to the upper area beyond the lake. There's an Emergence Effigy you can use to return to Axiom. Following the slope, you'll realize it's a shortcut back to the original outpost or camp with the Vestige of Svornil. That's all for this area; we've covered everything it has to offer. Access the Vestige and get ready to move on to the next area.

Useful Umbral Ending Remarks

It is worth noting that if players aim to acquire the Umbral Ending, the Fief of the Chill Curse area should be revisited once again. 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. Upon defeating The Iron Wayfarer at Bramis Castle's gates and The Sundered Monarch in the inner section of the castle, The Iron Wayfarer will move into this area. Access Umbral and after locating the NPC, interact with him and use the Withered Rune of Adyr. This will end him and grant the player Harkyn's Umbral Parasite. This is a key item that is required to further progress the Umbral Ending.

If you've chosen to explore the Depths in this guide, proceed as follows. Start from the Vestige of Catrin in Sunless Skein, and head to the shortcut you unlocked following our Cistern Guide. Go through the gate, take the lift, and it will bring you to Revelation Depths.

In the Cistern guide this is the area with the lift, go to the lower part of the platform and pick up x1 Wither Bolts. Use your lamp to examine the cliffs near the lift in Umbral. You'll see a series of platforms to descend into the chasm. It's recommended to use an Umbral Rift for easier traversal. Be cautious when moving around, as it's a tight space, and falling into the chasm during fights is a risk.

Extend the nearest platform by using Soulflay, then jump onto it. Be ready for a lot of platforming in this area. Under the first platform, there's an Umbral Belly you can Soulflay for an item. Get an x1 Umbral Eye of Dieter. Look for scaffoldings nearby that you can jump to. Face the Pale Shadow in that area, and be cautious of Remnants and Miners. Clear the enemies and grab x2 Briostone from the ground. On this platform, there's an Emergence Effigy nearby that you can use to return to Axiom. Continue by crossing the nearest long bridge. At the end, you'll find a ladder to access upper areas. Before climbing, pick up x2 Poison Cure hidden behind the barrels.

Head to the ladder located in the inner section of the solid ground you are in. Climb on it loot the dead body near the ladder and get an x3 Ammunition Satchel and x2 Large Manastone Cluster. Head down to the previous platform and access the other ladder available in this area. You will find yourself on a path that splits into two. The other one is the broken bridge and the other one leads to the upper parts of the area. Ignore the broken bridge for now. In the next area, you will be dealing with a Shrouded Sparrow and it will ambush you. From where the sparrow appeared, pick up the available loot which is an x1 Chipped Spear there is an Umbral Flowerbed that you can use, just in case you need to plant a Vestige Seedling to recuperate.

Now, head back to the broken bridge we mentioned earlier. Access Umbral Rift. You'll see long platforms to descend further. Extend another platform with Soulflay for an easier transition. Follow the platform, and it will split into two paths again. One leads to a ladder, the other to another platform. Go left first and grab x2 Regular Deralium Nuggets along the way.

Climb the ladder and when you reach the top, extend the nearest platform using Soulflay. Use it to access a larger platform. Be cautious, as this platform will spawn many enemies, led by Mendacious Visage. There may also be a Womb of Despair enemy. Clear them all out and Soulflay the Umbral Belly to get an x1 Saintly Quintessence. Nearby, you'll find an x1 Enervated Vigor Skull.

Go back to the platform where you got the Regular Deralium Nuggets near the ladder. Take the other path we couldn't explore earlier. Follow it, and you'll find a familiar area with a long wooden bridge. You've been here before. When you land, there's an effigy you can use to go back to Axiom.

After crossing the first wooden bridge, you'll find a flowerbed. Use it if needed. Continue past the second wooden bridge, where you'll see a large wooden machine with a big wheel. There's a lift attached to it. Jump on to reach the lower section. Grab an x1 Enhanced Snake Oil Grenade. Ahead, you'll encounter a Fungal Bowman. Defeat it and collect x3 Regular Deralium Nuggets from nearby.

Go to the nearest ladder and descend to the lower area. You'll see a locked shortcut in the form of a bridge ahead. Enter the nearest cave. Follow the path and you'll arrive in well-lit caverns with a tent set up. Watch out for Shrouded Sparrows once more. After dealing with them, pick up the x1 Nimble Ring in front of the tent.

Cross the chasm using the nearby platforms. At the end of the broken path, don't grab the nearby loot. it is a Ravenous Fascinator. If you take it, a Ravenous Fascinator will ambush you. Skip it and jump to the next area where you'll find an Umbral Flowerbed. It's a good idea to plant a vestige seedling here for safety, as the last Vestige is far from this spot. Take a breather before moving on.

If you are ready to proceed, head to the nearest tunnel entrance. Access Umbral. You will notice that there is a blocked path that you can soulflay. Do so and a secret path will be revealed. At the end of this pathway is an Umbral Belly. Soulflay the Belly to receive x1 Pendant of Antrophy. Access the nearest Emergence Effigy to return to Axiom. Return to the main tunnel and along the way pick up a x3 Regular Deralium Nuggets. Follow the tunnel and you will notice that the previously locked bridge shortcut can now be unlocked. Eliminate the Fungal Bowman in here first before lowering the bridge.

In this area, you'll see an altar with loot. Grab it to get x1 Wither Arrows. Near the altar, there's a barricade you can easily break. Beyond it, follow the tunnel to an open area with tents and another Umbral Flowerbed. Collect the nearby loot for x1 Worthless Coins. Return to the wooden bridge area and enter the closest tunnel where you'll find another Umbral Flowerbed. Follow the straightforward path and you'll encounter a single miner to deal with. Pick up x4 Small Deralium Fragment from the ground.

Take the wooden staircase. As you follow the path, you'll come across stone structures or an enemy camp with a blocked pathway. The path splits into two here, one leading deeper into the caves and the other to the stone structures. Go to the cave first, it's an optional area. Inside, clear out the working miners so you can explore safely. Grab the x3 Regular Deralium Nuggets near where the miners were. Notably, there's also an x1 Deralium Chunk nearby. It's not far from the Regular Deralium Nuggets you picked up. That's all for this area.

Go back to the cave entrance, then head to the stone structures and break the barricade. There are enemies guarding the area, including a Holy Bulwark and multiple Avowed. Take them out before moving deeper into the stone structures. Inside the enemy camp, you'll encounter a Receiver of Sacred Resonance with Marksmen. Deal with them. There are several items to collect here. Next to the tent, there's a hidden loot behind some boxes. Grab it to get x1 Justice. For now, skip the ladder. Notice another tunnel near the tents. Go in and transfer to Umbral. There's an Umbral Belly you can Soulflay. After doing so, you'll receive x1 Lost Berescu's Catalyst.

Use the ladder to reach the upper part of the structure. Pick up the nearby loot, which is ammunition for an x1 Enhanced Short Javelin. Move on by using the ladder near where you found the Justice weapon. After descending, grab the x1 Marksman Crossbow near the ladder.

Go to the nearest cave entrance and be ready to face a group of enemies, including Umbral ones. To move forward, you'll need to descend to lower areas. Traverse the platforms, but before using your first ladder to go down, there's a nearby treasure chest. Open it to get x1 Death's Finger, x1 Ammunition Satchel, and x2 Ammunition Pouch. On the second platform, there's another loot you can grab, x4 Small Deralium Fragment. Move on to the next level. Deal with the Umbral Parasites here to reduce the threat. Clear enemies on each platform and move to the next. Near the lowest point in this area, there's a lift. Activate it to create a shortcut leading to the platform with another lift to Vestige of Katrin.

Use the lift to return to the lower areas, head to the staircase, and explore the lower areas. Follow the train tracks and find a nearby loot. Pick it up for x1 Minor Wither Salts. Before you pass the flowerbeds, turn around to explore the other side of the wooden structure for more loot. Retrieve an x1 Exacter Dagger from a dead body. Keep moving and you'll eventually reach the Vestige in this area, the Vestige of Lost Berescu. Activate it and take a rest. Make any upgrades you need as we're about to face the main Colossal Boss in this area.

Go to the flowerbeds and you'll see a stone staircase nearby. Descend it and enter the boss arena past the corners with lit candles. A cutscene will play upon entering. Afterward, the battle will begin. While it may seem like you're facing two entities, only Harrower Dervla, the Pledge Knight has an HP bar. The fight is generally balanced, especially in terms of attack patterns. Now, let's talk about the other entity chained on an altar-like pedestal. This entity either throws projectiles at you or releases an arena-wide shockwave. There are clear signs indicating when it's about to use these attacks, in addition to its regular moves. Assuming that you defeated Harrower Dervla the Pledged Knight, do not rejoice yet. You will be fighting her second form where the entity and Dervla will be as one. In this second phase, we will be fighting the second form of Dervla and her partner. Naming them as The Unbroken Promise. Upon defeating The Unbroken Promise, receive the following rewards. x1 Vestige Seed, x8 Umbral Scouring, x1 Harrower Dervla's Rosary, x1 Dark Crusader's Call and a x1 Ammunition Satchel.

After the battle, go to the altar and Soulflay Dervla's Stigma. You'll get x2 Umbral Scouring and Remembrance of the Unbroken Promise. If you're still struggling with this boss, consider checking our Bosses page for detailed strategies on defeating all Bosses in the game. This wraps up your exploration of Revelation Depths. To leave this area, just use the Vestige of Lost Berescu.

This key can be bought from Stomund, Captain of the Fidelis at Skyrest Bridge, and comes with a complimentary Map of Belled Rise. Teleport to the Vestige of Blind Agatha and unlock the door opposite to it. Enter the area and turn left to find a wooden gate. You can shine your Umbral Lamp at it to reveal a path forward.

Pass through the gate and follow the curve of the room to the right, where you'll emerge out onto some wooden beams overlooking some lower platforms. At the end, jump down onto the lower platform ahead. If you look back towards where you came from, you'll see Devotion's Might in the water. Looking forward, there'll be two ways to proceed forward. Go right to progress. Jump down into the lower room and pick up the Brawn Ring. Approach the double gates in the area and open them. You can find an Umbral Flowerbed just outside.

At the Umbral Flowerbed, head straight forward from the gate, taking the slope curving right. Head through the narrow passageway at the top of the path, and it'll lead back outside. Enter the Umbral once outside. Continue forward and before you hop onto the bone bridge ahead, look to the left to find the Hammer of Holy Agony. After crossing the bone bridge, head to the end of the walkway and soulflay Umbral Belly the for the Umbral Eye of Iorelo the Cursed Knight.

Head back and go through the doorway you passed by. In this small cavern, you'll find another Umbral Flowerbed, as well as two Large Deralium Shards behind the ladder. You can return to the Axiom at this flowerbed. Climb up the ladder and at the top, you'll emerge into what looks to be some holy hideout. From here, you can either go down the stairs to the left, or through a doorway on the right. Going through the door on the right leads to the Path of Devotion and going down to the left leads to the Manse of the Hallowed Brothers.

Start by heading through the doorway on the right. Go up the staircases while avoid the rolling barrels. At the top of these stairs, you can pick up the Bloody Glory from the corner of the room. When you exit the cave here and get back outside, you'll find yourself on the Path of Devotion. The Path of Devotion is a stand-alone optional area when you can find several pieces of equipment and useful upgrade materials. Click here to go straight to the Path of Devotion section of the Game Progress Route.

After completing the Path of Devotion, head back to Belled Rise and return downstairs. Exit the room and go down the stairs towards a gazebo-looking structure. Circle around to it's entrance and you'll start the fight against The Sacred Resonance of Tenacity. When defeated, it'll drop the Sacred Resonance Hammer and a Vestige Seed. Exit the cave and turn left to find two Large Deralium Shards. Do a 180 and go down the wooden walkway the other way.

Take your Umbral Lamp out and shine it on the broken bridge to reveal an Umbral path leading to the other side. There'll be a ladder on the right up ahead, but before you go up continue down the wooden walkway. You'll have to take out your Umbral Lamp again to get up to the next platform. Enter the doorway on the right at the end. There'll be an Umbral Flowerbed directly on the left, and a chest containing four Small Deralium Fragments, three Regular Deralium Nuggets, and two Large Deralium Shards. If you continue to the end, you'll get to a ladder you can knock down to open up a shortcut back to the cavern lake next to the Vestige of Blind Agatha.

Return up the shortcut ladder and make your way back to the ladder we passed by. Climb up this ladder, ascend the next two set of stairs, then take the ladder at the end upwards. Up here, you'll find a large elevator. Before hopping onto the elevator, open the door on the opposite side to find the Bloodletter. You can then go up the ladder to the right as you exit the room to find the Slinger's Ring and Cleric's Benediction. When you exit the room containing Cleric's Benediction, turn right to find an elevator back down to a side area mentioned in the Pilgrim's Perch Descent section. Now that you're a higher level, you can go down to the lower platform and take out the enemies here. At the end of the platform, you'll find stairs going up to the cage holding the Hallowed Sentinel Scripture. Head back down the stairs and to your left, you'll find a Stigma you can soulflay for two Umbral Scouring.

When you're done looting, backtrack back to the large elevator and take it up to the Manse of the Hallowed Brothers. Click here to go straight to the Manse of the Hallowed Brothers section of the Game Progress Route.

When you emerge outside from the cave at Belled Rise, you'll find yourself at the Path of Devotion, a pathway surrounded by eye-shaped totems. Turn left as you exit the cave to find the Vestige of Dieter. Right next to it, you can find Thehk-Ihir has set up shop here on the Path of Devotion. Next to him, you'll also find the Dark Crusader's Convalescence.

Turn around and go down the path the other way. Two Large Deralium Shards can be found on a body to the left of the path. Further ahead, you'll find a large hill, and the path will continue to the left. At the top of the hill, you can pick up the Anvil Hammer. As you go down the hill, hug the right side to get to a set of graves. While at the graves, enter the Umbral using your Umbral Lamp. Look off the edge to find that an bone pathway has materialised underneath you. Before dropping down there, you can soulflay a Stigma at the top of the hill for a vision of Paladin Isaac and two Umbral Scouring. At the base of the hill, you can soulflay the Umbral Belly to obtain Diminishing Missile. When you're done, do a running jump and jump down to the bone pathway we found earlier. You can soulflay the Umbral Belly at the end for a Saintly Quintessence. Head back across the bone pathway when you're done, and jump across towards a bone ladder you can take back up to the main pathway. If you wish, you can return to the Vestige to return to the Axiom.

Continue following the pathway down, past the large hill. When you get to the bottom of the next part of the pathway, there'll be yet another large hill up ahead, and the pathway will continue to your right. Enter the Umbral and at the base of the hill, you can soulflay the Umbral Belly for the Hungering Knot. Don't pick up the item next to it, it's a Ravenous Fascinator. To the left of the hill, you'll find another set of gravestones. Near these grave, you'll find a large set of Umbral double doors. This area can only be accessed if you've witnessed all four Stigmas relating to Paladin Isaac. If you have witnessed these four Stigmas, instead of a door, you'll find an arena. Soulflay the bridge and you can cross over. Soulflaying the Stigma in the middle of the arena initiates the fight against the Paladin's Burden. Beating this encounter nets you a total of ten Umbral Scouring, a Vestige Seed and the Umbral-Tinged Flayed Skin.

After looting, look towards the path going forward. To the right, you'll find an Emergence Effigy you can use to take you back to the Axiom. Head down to the end of the next pathway to get to the entrance of a building. Enter the Umbral and look at the large statue directly to the left of the doorway to find an Umbral Belly. Soulflaying it will net you the Umbral Eye of Loash. An Emergence Effigy can be found on the right side of the courtyard to return to the Axiom.

Enter the building and ascend the ladder on the right. Turn around at the top and go through the small doorway at the end. When you emerge out the door at the bottom of the stairs, you'll find yourself back at Skyrest Bridge. Climb down the ladder here to reach some sort of castle courtyard and head down towards the main gates. Look to the left to find a hole in a tower. Head through, then climb the stairs all the way to the top. Enter the small doorway at the top and take the ladder upwards. The corpse here carries the Pureblade Mace and Pureblade Shield. Push the ladder through the next doorway, and you'll unlock a shortcut back to Pieta's boss arena at the entrance of the Skyrest Bridge.

This marks the end of the Path of Devotion. Click here to return to the Belled Rise (Pilgrim's Perch) section of the Game Progress Route.

After taking the large elevator at Belled Rise in Pilgrim's Perch upwards, you'll find yourself at the Manse of the Hallowed Brothers. Hop off the elevator, then turn left at the corner ahead. Follow the cliffside and you'll eventually find the Vestige of Ferrers the Charred. Further down the path, looking over Mournstead, is The Iron Wayfarer. After speaking to him, jump down onto the lower cliffs. Head forward towards a locked gate. Enter the Umbral and walk onto the wooden platform to the left at the end of the path. A bone pathway can be found further ahead. Take it, and ascend the steps further in where you'll find an Emergence Effigy you can return to the Axiom with to the right.

Drop down into the tunnel ahead. Turn right to lift the gates by pulling the lever nearby, opening a shortcut to and from the Vestige. Turn around and go up the stairs at the other end. When you emerge back outside, you can roll through the crates underneath the staircase to your left to find three Regular Deralium Nuggets. At the top of the staircase, you'll find a slope going upwards. You'll make it to that area later in the walkthrough. Instead, turn left and shine your Umbral Lamp at the gates ahead to move past them. If you head further into this area you'll eventually get to a dead end at a stone wall. Enter the Umbral, then you can soulflay the body ahead to weaken the Umbral Tumor off the ledge to your left. The item on the ledge is the Marksman Trousers.

Jump down the ledge to get back on the main path and directly on your right will be the Map of the Manse of the Hallowed Brothers. Cross the bone bridge past the Umbral Tumor, then climb up the stairs to the top. A Bringer of Stillness can be found here that when defeated, may drop a Regular Deralium Nugget, a Vestige Seed, and Dimexus. The Umbral Belly will drop the Cursed Set when soulflayed. There will also be an Emergence Effigy you can interact with to return to the Axiom.

Go up the ladder nearby then follow the walkway all the way to the end, using the Umbral Lamp when you get to a gap. When you drop down, you'll find a large staircase going upwards on your left. This area is the place you would have reached is you continued up the slope past the gate we shined the Umbral Lamp at earlier. Head up the main staircase to reach a wine cellar. Further inside, you'll find a metal gateway. Head through and destroy the wooden planks to the right to reveal a pathway going downwards. Turn left into the next archway. Destroy the wooden half wall blocking the way forward, then enter the Umbral to be able to bypass the flooding and head further downstairs. At the end of this pathway, you'll be able to pick up the Lucent Sword Ring. Go back upstairs, through the archway you destroyed the wooden planks at to get down here, and at the top, there'll be an Emergence Effigy waiting for you to bring you back to the Axiom.

Head to the right, up some stairs, and turn right. At the end, you'll find a staircase to your left that lets you progress forward. Take the stairs, then turn right to find an Umbral Flowerbed. Continue forward, going up the wooden planks that lead you back outside. At the end of the porch, you'll find a locked door to your right that requires the Manse Kitchen Key. Descend the stairs onto the courtyard and defeat the Holy Bulwark patrolling the area. He'll drop the Manse Kitchen Key required to open the nearby door.

Before going through the locked door, on the right side of the courtyard, you'll find a doorway leading into another building. In the next room, you'll be able to activate the Vestige of Brother Jeremiah. Up on the platform behind the vestige, you can speak to Thehk-Ihir to browse his wares. Head back towards the entrance of the building and enter the archway on your right. Head upstairs, then through the doorway and up the next set of stairs, you'll find a doorway on the left and an open area straight ahead. You can't open the gate at the end of the doorway from this side, so instead pick up Duty's Chime from the ledge on the right.

Make your way back down the stairs and exit the building out onto the courtyard. You'll find a slope going upwards on the left side of the courtyard that leads to a couple of locked shortcut gates we can't open from this side. Now, use the Manse Kitchen Key to open up the locked door on the porch of the previous building.

Through the door requiring the Manse Kitchen Key, the item immediately to your right is a Ravenous Fascinator. Instead of picking it up, soulflay the creature. Make your way downstairs on the left, and you can open a door that leads back to the previous Umbral Flowerbed. Go up the two sets of stairs in the middle of the far end of the room, and enter the Umbral. You can souflay a body at the end of the wooden pathway to bring down a platform you can use to jump to the other side of the room. Destroy the barrel blocking the archway to open up a path out to a balcony. Soulflay the Stigma here for two Umbral Scouring. On the left, you can destroy some wooden barrels to reveal a set of stairs. Take it up and the Umbral Belly can be soulflayed for an Accusing Spirit.

Head back down the stairs and follow the balcony to the end. Use your Umbral Lamp to pull the platform to you and to cross the gap, then climb up the ladder on the other side. Up on the roof, head straight to find another set of wooden platforms on the other side of the slanted roof. Through the doorway on the right, you'll find an Emergence Effigy that you can return to the Axiom using. Jump down to the lower floor. You can find a pair of double gates on the right side of the room that you can unlock from this side. This gate leads back to the earlier balcony. Another gate can be found in the corner at the far end of the room, and unlocking it leads you to an area found when you go up the slope on the left side of the courtyard you fought the enemy that drops the Manse Kitchen Key at. On the left, you'll find two arches. Enter the Umbral to find an Umbral Belly you can soulflay for an Antediluvian Chisel.

Head through the arches to the left of this shortcut gate to get into a hallway. There's a doorway down the right side of the hallway that leads into the main staircase of the building. Head up and take the next set of stairs on the left. At the end, head downstairs to a balcony to find the Trinity Shield. Head back up to the previous room and take the ladder. Destroy the crates past an enemy, then take the next set of stairs up. In the Umbral, you'll immediately see a hidden room. You can find an Umbral Flowerbed and a Stigma you can soulflay for two Umbral Scouring.

While in the Umbral, look to the left of the Stigma to find another hole in the wall. Heading through it will allow you to navigate the wooden beams above the building's floors. Carefully make your way to the final wooden beam to grab the Inner Serpent Pendant. Head back and exit out the room to the right of the Stigma. Look to your right to find a narrow hallway. Exit the building through the archway on the far end of the hallway. Another Umbral Flowerbed can be found out here, and when you're ready to proceed, cross the bridge ahead and go through the archway on the other side.

Turn left, through the next archway. Hop onto the wooden planks to get onto the stone walkway surrounding the building. Head down the stairs on the left side of the walkway to open the large gates that lead back to the courtyard you got the Manse Kitchen Key from. Go back the walkway the other way to get to a fountain area. The gate on the right doesn't open from this side, so go up the stairs ahead and go over to the gates at the end. Before opening the gates, shine your Umbral Lamp at the broken railing to find a pathway down. Follow it to the end and enter the Umbral to soulflay a Stigma that grants you two Umbral Scouring. An Umbral Flowerbed can also be found nearby.

Make your way back up the slope and to the broken railing. Open the gates on the left to progress forward. Head to the end of the dark hallway and you can open the gates there to get back outside. While facing the courtyard, you'll find a door at the end of the elevated stone walkway on the right and one at the very bottom of the staircase ahead. These doors require Abbot Vernoff's Key to be unlocked, so we'll be back here later. Head down the stairs to the lower well area and head through the arches on the right to a part of the courtyard with a lone tree. The item directly next to it is a Ravenous Fascinator, so don't pick it up but instead soulflay it.

To the left of the tree, you'll find a staircase going up. Before heading up, destroy the cart to the right of it and shine your Umbral Lamp to pass through the planks blocking the archway. Take the lift down and down the stairs at the corner, you'll find the Damaged Standard. This is one of Stomund's quest items. Backtrack up the elevator and back outside. Head up the stairs and you can either go right down a bridge or left through a doorway into the building. To the right, you'll see a chest in the distance. When you get to the circular platform where it is, you'll initiate the optional boss fight against the Abiding Defenders. When defeated, they will drop the Ebonlight Abiding Defender Sword, Abiding Defender Gauntlets, a Vestige Seed and Divine Arms. You can then loot the chest in their boss arena for the Flail of Wisdom. Return across the bridge and through the doorway ahead.

There'll be two ways forward here - one to the left and another to the right. Start by going to the right. Inside this small room, you'll find an item on the ground. Opposite the item, destroy the wooden barricades and barrels blocking an archway. You can open the gates at the other end to pick up the Ring of Shelter. Head back out the main room and into the other one at the end of the hallway. Knock the ladder down on the right to create a shortcut back up here. Enter the Umbral and a platform will appear on the left side. Climb the ladder on the Umbral platform upwards to be able to reach the upper floor. Exit the doorway here to the upper balcony and take the curving staircase at the end upwards. Cross the wooden platforms, then take the wooden staircase up. Destroy the wooden crates and barrels blocking your way and continue following this wooden platform inside the nearby tower. You can loot an Enhanced Umbral Burrower by soulflaying the Umbral Belly here.

Look down to find a lower platform with an item on it. If you try to fall down there directly, you'll likely die from the fall. Instead, hop down onto the lower cross-like structure above it to safely make your way down there. Carefully follow the wooden beams here to the end, then you can drop down to a balcony with an Emergence Effigy, allowing you to return to the Axiom. You can also pick up three Regular Deralium Nuggets from the ground nearby. Open the gate nearby to open a shortcut back to the room where you entered the Umbral to reveal a ladder. Afterwards, climb the ladder at the end upwards and re-enter the building through the archway at the top. At the end of the wooden platform are two Large Deralium Shards.

Head back outside and shine your Umbral Lamp off the balcony to the left. You can follow the path that appears upwards to a doorway on the upper floor. Enter the Umbral to find an Umbral Belly on the other side of the thin wooden beam. Soulflaying this belly will net you an Enhanced Cursed Dart. Return down to the room with an Emergence Effigy and go back to the Axiom. In this room, jump down through the broken part in the railing and open the gates behind you to open a shortcut. Ahead will be a few enemies. After defeating them, go through the archway on the right. On the left, you'll be able to open a gate that leads back into the courtyard with the doors requiring a key.

Go back into the main building, and up the stairs in the middle leading to an altar. Several Penitent can be found here, as well as the Abbot Vernoff's Key on the altar itself. Head down the stairs and through the archway on the right as you go down. You can also open a gateway here for yet another shortcut. You can shine your Umbral Lamp at the other gate next to it to head into the room for two Large Deralium Shards.

Head back downstairs and through the gates leading out onto the courtyard with the multiple locked doors. Start by heading towards the small single door on the elevated stone walkway. Down the stairs inside, you'll find some Penitent praying at a statue. If you enter the Umbral here, you'll be able to find an Umbral Belly that drops a Saintly Quintessence in the middle of the prayer area. Two Bringers of Stillness will appear here, so be careful. Open the doors down the next stairs after and through the archway on the left, you can soulflay a Stigma that nets you two Umbral Scouring.

Through the archway on the right instead, you'll find an Umbral Flowerbed. Hop down from the ledge and look to the right to find a hidden room. Within this small room, you can return to the Axiom using the Emergence Effigy here. Shine your Umbral Lamp at the wall to get out of the small room, then follow the walkway out onto the courtyard. If you continue follow the walkway here, past the Pureblade, you can unlock the door at the end using Abbot Vernoff's Key that leads back to a previous area.

There are two ways to go now, through an open pathway leading onto a bridge at the Tower of Penance, or through some closed gates on the left side of the courtyard leading into the Abbey of the Hallowed Sisters. Your first course of action will be to visit the Tower of Penance to cleanse the Hallowed Sentinel beacon there. After you're done, unlock the gates on the left side of the courtyard, and you'll find another Umbral Flowerbed just to your left. Slightly forward is Stomund, Captain of the Fidelis, who will give you some context about the Abbey of the Hallowed Sisters just up ahead.

Right as you step onto the bridge from the Manse of the Hallowed Brothers leading into the Tower of Penance, you'll immediately be thrust into a boss fight fight against the Blessed Carrion Knight Sanisho. When defeated, the boss will drop the Carrion Knight Staff, Carrion Knight Skirt, and a Vestige Seed. An Umbral Flowerbed can be found further up the bridge afterwards. When you're ready to proceed, head to the end to find that the door leading into the tower doesn't open from this side. You'll be able to circle around to the left or to the right of the tower. If you circle around the right side of the locked tower, you'll find the Braided Ring on the ground. If you circle around the left side, you'll find a ladder going down. Follow the wooden walkway to the end and enter the Umbral. Use your lamp to pull the platform towards you, then pull yourself across to the other side. Turn right at the end to find Jeffrey's Dagger by a cage in the corner. Continue following the path, up the stairs, and you'll be able to jump back to the wooden platforms you took to get here. Follow it back to the ladder, where you'll find an Emergence Effigy you can use to return to the Axiom.

Head back up the ladder and continue circling around the tower. Eventually, you'll find an elevator. Before you hop on, grab the Map of the Tower of Penance found opposite to the elevator. When you take the ladder upwards, you'll be able to enter the tower through an upper archway. Right in front of you will be another Umbral Flowerbed. Past it, head through the doorway and onto some wooden platforms in the next room. Head to the end, then enter the Umbral. Soulflay the body across the way to lower a platform you can jump onto. Turn left and go down the ladder, then continue circling around and drop down to the lower platform. Stand on the small Umbral platform, then look to your left to find another one you can pull towards you. Jump onto it to continue to the next platform.

Be careful of the Ardent Penitent that bursts through the nearby wooden planks. Stand on top of the ladder, but don't head down it. If you look over the ledge, you'll find a lower platform you can jump to that the ladder doesn't get to. Jump down to it to find a chest that contains a Deralium Chunk within the jail cell. After grabbing it, look over to the left off the platform and jump down to the platform the ladder would have taken you to. Soulflay the body to lower the platform ahead, then enter the jail cell to find two Large Deralium Shards on a table. Afterwards, climb back up the ladder up to where you fought the Ardent Penitent and go to the end of the walkway. In front of you here is the Umbral platform you pulled out earlier to get to the other side. Look down, off the ledge towards the Umbral platform and you'll find a wooden platform you can safely fall onto. If you follow it into the jail cell, you'll find a chest containing a Rebirth Chrysalis. Exit the cell and jump directly down onto a stone platform.

Behind you on the stone platform, you'll find some wooden planks that can be destroyed to reveal a Stigma you can soulflay for two Umbral Scouring and the Perception Wisp. Exit the alcove and head to the left to drop down onto another platform. Make your way across the narrow beams, and at the end, you can find an Emergence Effigy you can use to return to the Axiom. Fall onto the grates below and you'll come face to face with multiple enemies. On the outer ring of this floor, you can find several items and objects of note. In the chest by a divider wall is the Rune Tablet given to either Gerlinde or Sparky to complete their quests. You can also find the Infernal Guardian Spell in a skeleton on the wall in the same area as the chest. In a different section of the ring, you can open the double doors that leads back to the bridge connecting the tower to the Manse of the Hallowed Brothers. In a small room, there'll be an Umbral Flowerbed you can set a checkpoint at if you wise.

When you're done looting, head down the ladder in the inner circle of the room. Follow the wooden walkways and descend the ladder at the end. Another Umbral Flowerbed can be found in the jailcell at the base of the ladder. Continue following the walkway to the end and drop down to the lower wooden platform. Eventually you'll make it to another floor with grate flooring. In a jail cell at the opposite side of the room, you can pick up the Bramble Ring. Through the doorway on the right, you'll find an Emergence Effigy you can return to the Axiom with if you were ever knocked into the Umbral. The nearby stairs takes you upwards to a short hallway. You can find another Umbral Flowerbed on the small balcony through the archway on the left where the blood trail leads. Opposite to this archway, you'll find a lever that can be activated to remove an obstacle in the center of the grates downstairs.

Head down to the grates and fall down the hole in the middle of the room. Down one of the branches of the wooden platform you fall to, you'll find Pious. Continue down the walkway towards a jail cell, then turn left and take the ladder downwards. You'll get to a third level with grate floors. Interact with the lever at the base of the archway ahead. Take the ladder on the opposite side of the floor, and turn right into a jail cell. Here, you can pick up the Assassin's Bow. Run to your right when you exit the room and quickly descend down the ladder on your right.

This will take you to yet another floor with grate flooring. Activate the lever nearby to remove the mechanism in the middle. This will allow you to fall through the hole onto the final level. The door here requires the Tancred's Key, which we will be getting in a little bit. Opposite to the door, you'll find another Emergence Effigy if you need it. Head through the open archway leading outside. Enter the Umbral and look up to soulflay a Stigma that nets you two Umbral Scouring. To your left, you can find a ladder that takes you up. Take it, and take the next ladder up. You'll get to a large area with an Umbral Belly that drops a Saintly Quintessence. When you're done in that area, return back inside the tower and down the stairs on your left. Follow the path and about halfway, you'll find an Umbral Flowerbed. Consider planting a Vestige Seed here as up ahead is a long boss fight. Continue forward and when you're ready, open the doors ahead.

After a short cutscene, the fight against Tancred, Master of Castigations will begin. After completely depleting his HP, you'll witness a short cutscene and the second phase of this boss fight will begin. You'll fight Reinhold the Immured, a grotesque Rhogan demon with unnatural movement. When both boss phases have been defeated, you'll receive Tancred's Key, a Vestige Seed, and eight Umbral Scouring. You can then enter the Umbral if you're not already in it to soulflay the boss' Stigma, granting you two more Umbral Scouring and the Remembrance of Tancred, Master of Castigations and Reinhold the Immured.

Head back out of the boss' arena and into the middle of the tower. You can now unlock the door here with Tancred's Key. Take the elevator past the door upwards and unlock the door back onto one of the floors with grate flooring. Interact with the lever on the elevator to go upwards even further, and you'll emerge out onto the fourth Hallowed Sentinel beacon. Before cleansing it, you'll find the Map of the Abbey of the Hallowed Sisters on the opposite side of the area. On the right of where you came from, you'll find some stairs going down to a cubby blocked off by some wooden planks. Take you Umbral Lamp out and shine it here to be able to move past it. The chest in this small cubby contains the Radiant Purifier Set.

Interact with the beacon to cleanse it, and you'll be done with the Tower of Penance. Return to the Manse of the Hallowed Brothers to be able to continue forward to the Abbey of the Hallowed Sisters.

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 follow the path to the end to get a Seething Vigor Skull. Up the stairs to the left will be a Stigma you can Soulflay in after transitioning to Umbral. Do so and get two Umbral Scourings. Keep going up past some Thorned Penitents to enter a courtyard. Upon entering, you'll immediately start a Boss fight against Abbess Ursula. When you defeat her, you'll be rewarded with the Abbess Staff, Weeping Abbess Mitre, and a Vestige Seed.

Head up the stairs, transition to Umbral, and 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 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, pick up two Animated Vigor Skulls from the corpses by the barred door. Continue forward and up the stairs and transition to Umbral to Soulflay the target ahead to get rid of the vines. Navigate safely through the tunnel past it. 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. At the next landing, you'll find breakable stacks of barrels 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. When it's safe to do so, you can transition to Umbral and Soulflay the Stigma near the tree to get the usual two Umbral Scourings. 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.

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. 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 Set. 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. Take the path on your right blocked by 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. 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, 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.

Head back up and 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. On your right is another Wither Ward amidst the breakable objects. Head up the stairs to the left and pick up the Consecrate Spell from the shrine. The next section will have The Toll on an altar. Transition to Umbral here and look for a ladder behind the altar. Look to the side and Soulflay a target that will bring a platform around you can ride to cross to the other side. On the other side, Soulflay the Umbral Belly to get the Enhanced Poison Javelin.

Head back to the altar and 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 an Abbess would've been shooting lasers at you from. The chest nearby will have the Multi-Shot Crossbow.

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. 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 Soulflay the Umbral Belly 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. 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. When you defeat her you'll be rewarded with the Sanctified Huntress Spear, Rapturous Huntress Helm, and a Vestige Seed. If The Iron Wayfarer joined you in the fight, you'll see him take the Rune of Adyr. Otherwise, if you collect the Rune of Adyr yourself, and if you reached this point without cleansing any of the other beacons, note that you are on the path to getting the Infernal Ending of the game, and will be irreversible once you approach the entrance of Bramis Castle.

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. 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 and transition to Umbral to bypass the small gate. Soulflay the Umbral Belly to pick up a Saintly Quintessence.

Head back up now to the upper levels of the previous hall. 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. At the top, 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, 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. At the end, you'll find a large gate that's 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 to a wider path and Soulflay the Ravenous Fascinator on your left posing as an item orb. 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. Soulflay the Stigma in the tunnel to get the usual two Umbral Scourings. Get to the end of the tunnel to finally enter the singular lower floor of The Empyrean.

Past the tunnel with the final Stigma in the Abbey of the Hallowed Sisters is the small singular room in the underground level of The Empyrean. You'll find yourself in a circular room with an elevator in the middle. Behind the elevator, you can pick up Saint Salonor's Ring. Step on the elevated tile inside the elevator for a ride up to find and activate the Vestige of Iorelo the Cursed Knight. Open the double doors and Soulflay the Stigma on the right side for two Umbral Scourings for doing so.

Head up the wide path. After the first set of stairs bypass the gate with the Umbral Lamp on the far right to pick up the Map of the Empyrean. On the other side of the same level, break the wooden breakable objects on the left side to pick up some Large Deralium Shards. Further to the left is a little covered alcove you can enter to find the Enhanced Banner Javelin of Assault.

At the top, the large closed doors are locked, so instead head to the left side of the building to pick up a Purifying Balm in a shadowed corner. Head to the other side and follow the path to two Large Manastone Clusters and three Ammunition Satchels right before a closed door. Break the large jar to your immediate right and follow the path of the ledge it reveals to pick up the Bountiful Ring from a corpse.

Head back to the closed door and transition to Umbral to find a ladder on your right. Head down the ladder and then Soulflay a target to the left to get across to the next platform. Follow the path to a Womb of Despair guarding some Umbral Eggs. Soulflay the Umbral Belly past them to pick up the Umbral Eye of Doln.

Head back to the large doors and then turn around and look for a broken tower on your right with a bit of light glowing from the inside. Head to it to find some stairs that will take you up. You can now follow the new distorted path ahead of you into the upper level of the building.

Soulflay the Stigma you'll see right as you enter the room for the usual two Umbral Scourings. Behind it, you can pick up the Shield of the Moonlit Emissary from the desk. Beside this desk is an Umbral Tumor blocking your way forward. To the left of the desk is an Umbral Flowerbed.

Head out the hole in the wall on the left side of the room, near the hole you entered from. Soulflay the target outside to bring out a platform you can jump onto. In the next section, Soulflay the target above you on the slightly raised side of the section to bring out a partial bridge on the upper level. Head up the ladder and Soulflay the Umbral Belly at the top to get the Putrid Child Catalyst. Step onto the partial bridge you brought out and Soulflay the target on the other side to destroy the Umbral Tumor back in the building.

Find your way back into the building and then proceed through the large gate left behind by the now-destroyed Umbral Tumor. Inside, take the path on the left and Soulflay the Umbral Belly you can Soulflay for a Saintly Quintessence. Go back and head to the path on the right this time to find a chest containing the Empyrean Church Key.

Find your way back down to the outside area and use the Empyrean Church Key you just obtained to open the large main doors of the building. Proceed further in and head past the church benches. On the right side of this section, there's a gate that you can't open yet from this side. On the opposite area are two Abiding Defenders guarding the Lucent Sword Shield on the altar.

Head up the stairs to find an Umbral Flowerbed you can plant a Vestige Seedling on to your left. Do so and use it to upgrade your character and rest as necessary to prepare for the coming fight. When you're ready, head up to the stairs that are cut off and drop down to the lower platform where Judge Cleric, the Radiant Sentinel is waiting to fight you. Defeating her rewards you with a Vestige Seed and eight Umbral Scourings. After you defeat her and if you've spoken to Thehk-Ihir in all the Locations he wandered into, you'll find the Thorned Chalice in the middle of the battlefield. If you chose not to cleanse any of the beacons, go through Bramis Castle before coming here, acquire the Empowered Rune of Adyr through the effigy of Adyr, and then snuff out the beacons before getting to this point, you'll be able to enter the exhausted Judge Cleric's mind and then talk to Iselle to give her the Empowered Rune of Adyr and ultimately get the Infernal Ending of the game.

Open the gate ahead of you and then head to the Radiant Beacon behind the exhausted Judge Cleric to cleanse it. Note that, if this is the last of the five Radiant Beacons that you need to cleanse, doing so will lock you out of the Umbral Ending of the game. Afterward, transition to Umbral and Soulflay the Stigma right in front of the beacon to get the usual two Umbral Scourings along with the Remembrance of Judge Cleric, the Radiant Sentinel.

Head out to the battlefield and move forward, leaning a little bit to the left, to find a stone bridge heading up to a new area. You can use the Emergence Effigy here to transition back to Axiom. Enter the hole in the wall and circle around the fallen shelves and bookcases to pick up an Enhanced Holy Grenade. The gate here is the previously locked gate past the church benches inside the building. Unlock it and find your way out of the structure, and onward to Bramis Castle.

Return to Upper Calrath B

To get to Bramis Castle, you'll have to return to Upper Calrath B. The entrance to Bramis Castle lies just ahead of the Vestige of the Forgotten Guardian but you'll find the doors there blocked by an umbral entity. Instead, teleport to Skyrest Bridge and take the shortcut you found there back to Upper Calrath B. As you backtrack, you'll inevitably head toward the street where you opened a shortcut door to the circular arena where you previously encountered a minor Ruiner leading a pack of Rhogar Hounds. You'll find Andreas of Ebb there if you've progressed his Questline. If you speak to him he'll offer to assist you, thereby keeping his word, depending on whether or not you returned Andreas of Ebb's Book of Lineage to him. Transition to Umbral on this street and climb up the two ladders that you'd already gone through before. At the end of the path, you'll find a new Soulflay target that will help you with the fight. When you're ready, head back down and enter the shortcut door into the circular arena to fight The Lightreaper for a third time. As an added layer of difficulty, if you skipped Soulflaying the target outside the shortcut door that was previously mentioned, you'll notice that he'll continually regain and health he loses. Transition to Umbral and you'll see that he's tethered to an Umbral Parasite somewhere under the greatest in the middle of the arena, but you're unable to access it while in the arena during the fight.

When you defeat him, keep your distance as he'll have himself implode to try and take you down with him. Surviving this finally rewards you with a Vestige Seed, twenty-five Umbral Scourings, Lightreaper Flesh, and The Light Reaper's Umbral Parasite. Soulflay the Stigma he leaves behind to for two more Umbral Scourings, along with the Remembrance of the Lightreaper. There will be an Umbral Flowerbed nearby as well that you can use for a Vestige Seedling. Plant one and use it to rest if you need to, as you're not quite out of the woods yet.

The Lightreaper Flesh is given to Damarose the Marked at the Shrine of Adyr to continue her quest if you haven't yet cleansed any beacons at this point. This is the last of the three pieces of Rhogar flesh that Damarose is looking for. You can return to her at the Shrine of Adyr whenever it's convenient for you and hand all three. When you do so, she'll attempt to perform a ritual on Crimson Rector Percival's body. There will be only one more interaction with her after this one, so make sure to purchase any items you need from her either during this encounter or the next.

Back at the Umbral Flowerbed at The Lightreaper's arena, exit through the archway to the right of the shortcut into the alleyway. There'll be an Emergence Effigy immediately to your right if you need it. As you move forward, you'll find Andreas of Ebb, waiting for the chance to strike you after you've exhausted yourself against The Lightreaper. Depending on whether or not you chose to return the Andreas of Ebb's Book of Lineage to him previously, defeating him may reward you with the Andreas of Ebb's Sword, a Vestige Seed, Andreas of Ebb's Book of Lineage, Andreas of Ebb's Ring, and Andreas of Ebb's Sleeves when he goes down for good.

When you're ready, continue backtracking toward the Vestige of the Forgotten Guardian but turn right at the end of the path and head onto the archway ahead and into Bramis Castle.

Explore Bramis Castle thoroughly, but be sure to allocate plenty of time. We'll start from Skyrest Bridge, move through the outer areas, and then explore the inner section, eventually reaching Upper Calrath. Note that if you try to enter from the Vestige of the Forgotten Guardian, you'll be blocked by a wooden door. Instead, travel across Skyrest Bridge and then head to Upper Calrath.

If you're coming from the Vestige of Ethryg, go to the location where you first fought Pieta, She of Blessed Renewal. You'll remember the area with a locked gate and a small adjacent door. The small door is now open. Go through it and you'll find yourself in an area with a spiral staircase. Climb the stairs to reach the upper parts of the area.

Follow the straightforward path to a closed door with an Umbral Flowerbed in front of it. Near the flowerbed, there's a ladder that leads to the lower area, which in turn takes you to an open gate and eventually to the castle's outskirts. From this location, you'll have a clear view of the Beacon in the castle.

Go through the plaza, take out the patrolling Skinstealer, and continue. On the right, you'll find a path that leads further. You're on track if you come across a Raw Mangler, Infernal Enchantress, and Rhogar Hounds. As you go forward, you'll see the path is blocked by a Umbral Tumor. You can clear them using Soulflaying later.

Head to the tunnel and plant a Vestige Seedling for a checkpoint. Use the Umbral Rift. Soulflay a hidden platform to cross the hole and then clear the Umbral Roots in the large tunnel. Descend the stone staircases beyond the tunnel to find the Stigma in the lower area. Soulflay it and watch Andreas of Ebb investigate Rhogar Artefacts. You'll receive x2 Umbral Scouring after the event.

After the Stigma event, there's an Umbral Belly nearby. Soulflay it and get an x1 Melted Dark Crusader Sword. Activate a platform to reach loot in the upper area. There's also loot on the ground nearby with x2 Wither Salts. Reactivate the platform, then go through the opening and use it to get an x1 Graveyard Fog. Return to the activated Vestige Seedling. Now, let's move through the tunnel. You'll find another Stigma. After soulflaying it, you'll see a Dark Crusader's attempt to force his way and harm civilians. The tunnel splits. Grab an x1 Xiax from the ground and take the path deeper into the tunnel.

One path leads to a dead end with a closed, unopenable door. Use the Umbral Rift to find an Umbral Belly. Soulflay it and get an x1 Cursed Dart. Take the other path leading to an alley with a Stigma. Soulflay it to witness a man's plea for his life against an enemy. After this, go to the nearest Emergence Effigy to return to Axiom. Speak with Andreas, who confirms he'll help in the upcoming battle. Then, go to the nearest door and you'll enter a boss arena.

Defeating The Lightreaper is crucial to progress into Bramis Castle. This boss has multiple phases, making it a challenge. Study its moves and plan your attacks carefully. The Lightreaper's attacks are similar to a Skinstealer's, with added fire and shockwave elements. Take your time to learn its patterns. Despite its intimidating appearance, it can be defeated. Many of its melee attacks have a noticeable wind-up, allowing you to counter. When mounted, it breathes fire from mid-air. Dodge it by moving in the opposite direction of the fire trail. 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.

After defeating the Lightreaper, it's time to Soulflay his Stigma for rewards, just like with other bosses. You'll receive x4 Vestige Seed, x25 Umbral Scouring, x1 Lightreaper Flesh, and x1 The Lightreaper's Umbral Parasite. Near your location, you'll find the Lightreaper's Stigma. Use an Umbral Rift and soulflay it to get x2 Umbral Scouring and x1 Remembrance of the Lightreaper. Though mentioned earlier, if you only obtained the Lightreaper Flesh at this point, remember to return to Damarose the Marked at the Shrine of Adyr to continue her quest before heading further towards Bramis Castle.

At the entrance of Bramis Castle, hold off for now. On the other side of the arena, there's an alley with an Emergence Effigy. Use it to return to Axiom. Soon after, you'll find Andreas waiting at the end of the alley. It's a standard NPC fight, so taking him down shouldn't be too difficult, but stay vigilant. Andreas uses multiple attacks and sword thrusts. The challenge is the confined space, so don't get cornered. After the bout, you'll receive these 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.

After defeating Andreas, head to the entrance where he was. Follow the path to a stone bridge leading 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. Crossing the bridge triggers a battle with The Iron Wayfarer, another mini-boss. Like Andreas, this is an NPC battle and not overly challenging. The Iron Wayfarer uses fiery hammer combos. Watch out for his attack sequences and his rushing move. After defeating him, you'll receive 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. Upon defeating The Iron Wayfarer at Bramis Castle's gates and The Sundered Monarch in the inner section of the castle, The Iron Wayfarer will move into Fief of the Chill Curse. Access Umbral and after locating the NPC, interact with him and use the Withered Rune of Adyr. This will end him and grant the player Harkyn's Umbral Parasite. This is a key item that is required to further progress the Umbral Ending.

After defeating The Iron Wayfarer, you'll be able to unlock the large gate in front of you. Do so to trigger a cutscene showing Bramis Castle's surroundings. We'll continue exploring the castle's outskirts, but formal entry into the castle is imminent. In this area, you'll spot two shortcuts: a wooden ladder and a locked gate. Head to the nearest stone staircase, but be prepared to deal with a guarding Proselyte. As you enter the next area, you'll see that to cross, you'll need to use some wooden planks. Be cautious, as they'll collapse once you step on them. Use an Umbral rift to access two platforms that you can Soulflay. These platforms will help you cross. Be on guard, as this area is infested with Umbral enemies like Remnants and Womb of Despairs.

Deal with the enemy and unlock the previously locked gate. This allows you to circle back and reach the platforms. Go up the stone staircase and use the activated platforms to cross. Grab the x3 Smite Salts from the ground and head towards the nearest door. You'll notice you can pull down the wooden ladder shortcut to unlock it. There's also an Emergence Effigy here to return to Axiom. Open the nearby treasure chest for an x1 Executioner's Axe. If you want to plant a Vestige Seedling, there's an Umbral Flowerbead nearby. Rest and upgrade, as there are more battles ahead. To continue, head back to the Effigy's location. The path is fairly straightforward, but watch out for a guarding Proselyte and a Rhogar Hound. After dealing with them, you'll find an x1 Seething Vigor Skull, signaling another mini-boss ahead. Be prepared for battle.

We're facing another NPC in this game, Damarose. Dealing with her shouldn't pose a major challenge. Her special move involves summoning runes that cast fire magic projectiles. When you see the runes glow, roll, or run away. Additionally, she infuses her weapon with fire. Her melee attacks are slow, giving you an opportunity to counter. In a short while, she'll be defeated, and you'll receive x1 Damarose's Cleaver and x1 Vestige Seed as rewards.

Boss Remarks

It is worth noting that players can only fight Damarose in Bramis Castle if they did not use Damarose's Seedpod on her previously when trying to get Umbral Ending. If Damarose died previously due to the Seedpod, this fight will be inaccessible for that certain playthrough. You will also not fight Damarose at this point if you didn't cleanse any beacons and instead helped her gather the three pieces of Rhogar flesh to perform the ritual on Crimson Rector Percival's body. If you helped her, she'll reward you with Damarose's Cleaver here at Bramis Castle. Make sure to purchase any other wares you need from her at this point before leaving the area. Her armor set

Exit the boss arena on the castle ramparts, then use Umbral Rifting. You'll see a platform that you can soulflay to reach the nearest Umbral Ladder. After climbing it, a bunch of enemies will appear. Focus on clearing them, especially the troublesome Mendacious Visage. After the battle, soulflay the Umbral Belly here to get a x1 Saintly Quintessence. Use the ladder you came up from. When you reach the lower platform, look down and spot a wooden platform below with an item. Jump down and grab it to get an x1 Enhanced Forceburst Parchment.

Descend to the lower area and use the unlocked wooden ladder. Rest or upgrade at the Vestige Seedling if needed. Go to where you fought Damarose, and use the debris to reach higher ground. Once there, you'll find yourself in a straight hallway. Follow it and pick up a x1 Map of Bramis Castle Barbican along the way. Keep going and you'll reach a door. Go through it, and the location banner for Bramis Castle will appear. This marks the beginning of the inner section.

The area starts with a clear path, but it's notable for its lava terrain. As you go on, you'll encounter a Raw Mangler and a Rhogar Hound. Near a storage house, break barrels to get a x1 Fire Salts. Keep moving and deal with more Rhogar Hounds and an Infernal Enchantress blocking your way. Head in the direction leading to a broken tunnel with loot nearby. Grab it to get a x1 Sellsword. Exit the tunnel and you'll find an Umbral Flowerbed. If you'd like, plant a Vestige Seedling here. Beyond the flowerbed, the path leads to the castle's ramparts. Go there and you'll spot loot guarded by a Rhogar Hound. Pick it up for an x1 Animated Vigor Skull. Nearby, there's a broken tower. Head over and pick up loot to get an x1 Enhanced Rhogar Oil Flask.

Explore the lower area near the lava. You'll come across a broken structure blocked by fire. Switch to Umbral to pass through it. Face a Shrouded Remnant here. Once it's dealt with, find the nearest platform and soulflay it to cross. You'll end up in a broken tower with a stigma. Soulflay the Stigma to witness an event and get x2 Umbral Scouring. There's loot close to the Stigma, but don't grab it, as a Ravenous Fascinator will ambush you if you do. Instead, take the other loot near an exit. You'll receive x1 Drustan's Hammer, x1 Boar's Head Shield, x1 Melchior's Ring, x1 Drustan's Glove, x1 Drustan's Garb, and x1 Drustan's Leggings as rewards.

After picking up the Drustan's items, approach the nearby cliff with caution. Head to your right and you'll find an Umbral Entity to Soulflay. Do so, then follow the path leading to a tunnel near Drustan's Stigma. After the tunnel, you'll be in an open space again with another Umbral Entity to Soulflay. To return to the previous area, Soulflay the nearest platform. This brings you back to the area with the blocked structure and fire. Notice that after dealing with the Umbral Entities, the one blocking the path is gone. Proceed to the next area by going through the transparent door.

As you move through the broken tower, you'll reach the end and spot an item on a body. Pick it up to get an x1 Infernal Slash. Beyond this, there's a long wooden platform to cross. At the end, there's an Emergence Effigy available. Use it to return to Axiom if needed. Moving along the platform, you'll encounter a guarding Proselyte. Take it out and continue. Near the elevator at the platform's end, there's a locked gate shortcut worth noting. Access the elevator, which will take you to a lower area. If you're in Umbral mode, you'll notice an opening you can jump to while on the elevator. Go through it to find an x1 Enhanced Cursed Effigy. Look down in the lower area to see a platform you can safely reach. Nearby, there's a balcony with an Umbral Flowerbed you can use.

Plant a Vestige Seedling for rest and upgrades. Follow the clear path ahead. Take the stone staircases to reach higher areas. You'll encounter a Proselyte and two Rhogar Hounds; deal with them and continue. After another set of stone stairs, you'll face a Trapper. Take it out, then switch to Umbral to witness the Couple Stigma Event. You'll get x2 Umbral Scouring after this.

Head to the nearest staircase leading to the upper area. On the way, there's a loot you can grab. Take it to get x1 Charred Letter. Continue along the laid-out path. Eventually, you'll reach a room where an Umbral Entity blocks the way, along with a locked gate. You'll need to find and deal with the Entities controlling it to move forward. Follow the extending roots for a clue on the Entity's location. Plant a Vestige Seedling for a nearby checkpoint. Head towards the exit guided by the roots, and you'll reach an area resembling a rampart. Grab the nearest loot on the ground to receive x2 Large Manastone Cluster and an x3 Ammunition Satchel. A Skinstealer will break a nearby structure and charge at you. Get ready to deal with it.

In Umbral mode, look for a nearby platform to Soulflay. This will make it move towards you. Transfer onto the activated platform and Soulflay the other one connected to the wooden ladder. It will draw your platform to it. Step off and climb up the ladder. Clear the enemies once you're off the ladder. The entity we're looking for is on a statue here. Soulflay it, and it'll burn the roots blocking the path. Remember where the Proselyte appeared and broke a wooden structure? Go there to explore. After passing the large hole, you'll face a Proselyte and an Infernal Enchantress. Take them out, then destroy the nearby wooden barricade. You'll find a staircase leading down. After reaching the lower level, open the nearby chest for an x1 Grinning Axe. Unlock the gate nearby; it's the one that was locked near the elevator you used earlier.

Now that we've explored the area, go back to the once-blocked pathway. You can now cross it. But before you do, return to Axiom. Follow the stairs and you'll find yourself on a rampart again. There will be enemies like Rhogar Hounds and Shrouded Sparrows. Once the area is clear, grab the nearby loot from a dead body, a x1 Lord Axe. Follow the stairs further to a courtyard-like area. There, you'll encounter a Conflagrant Seer. Deal with the hounds first, then eliminate the Conflagrant Seer. Head straight to the broken bridge where the arc structures are. Collect the loot beneath and receive a x1 Ring of Infernal Devotion. Not far from here is the Vestige of Bloody Pilgrim. Activate it to rest and make upgrades.

We'll be thoroughly exploring this area. From the Vestige, you'll see a stone staircase leading to a locked iron gate. Head there and you'll find an area with crystals emerging from the ground, emitting gas. In this section, a Ruiner is guarding. Deal with it to safely explore. Return to where the Ruiner was originally located and collect the following items. x1 Ignite Salts, x1 Burn Salts, and the hidden x1 Paladin's Pendant amid the gas concentration.

Go back to the locked iron gate. Near the lava deposits, there's a stone staircase you can use. Follow it and you'll reach a section with a trapper. Notice there's an unlocked ladder shortcut here. Grab the x1 Explosive Bolts near the ladder. Keep following the stone staircase and you'll enter an area with a Raw Mangler and a guarding Trapper. Deal with them and proceed to the area with a broken spiral stone staircase. In the next room, there's an Umbral Flowerbed where you can plant a Vestige Seedling for rest and leveling up if needed. Grab the x1 Map of Bramis Castle near the flowerbeds. Take note of a currently locked wooden ladder shortcut in this area.

Head back to the broken spiral stone staircase. There's a small pathway leading to another stone staircase leading to a side area. Follow it, and you'll come across an intact stone spiral staircase that leads to the upper area. Before going up, grab the x2 Purifying Balm. At the top of the spiral staircase, you'll encounter a raw mangler. Take care of it and continue along the path that eventually splits into two. On your right, there's a locked door serving as a shortcut for later. On the left, deal with a Skinstealer and pick up a nearby loot, which gives you an x1 Minor Holy Salts. Return to the locked door and notice you can hop onto the stone railings and jump onto lower castle roofs. Follow the roofs and along the way, collect the x2 Large Manastone Cluster and x3 Ammunition Satchel. You'll find yourself at a dead end if you keep following the roofs. But there are broken railings nearby. Switch to Umbral, and a platform will appear. Use it to cross and reach the lower roofs. There's a loot for you to pick up, granting you x2 Wither Salts, x1 Vestige Moth, and x1 Vigor Moth. Use the platform to safely descend to the ground area.

Let's head back to the broken stone staircase. If you're unsure where this is, recall where you found the Bramis Castle Map near an Umbral Flowerbed. Once there, by the ladder shortcut, notice you can jump down to the lower area with paintings. Follow the stone staircase and you'll spot a loot near it. Grab it for x3 Ignite Salts. Continue along the only available path. This leads you to a grand hall-like area. There's a Ruiner guarding, so deal with it swiftly. In the center of the area, you'll find a dead body with an x1 Eviscerating Spear. Not far, there's a door to go through. Behind it is the Queen's Stigma. Soulflay it to witness the event and receive x2 Umbral Scouring as a reward. Before leaving, pull down the ladder to unlock the shortcut.

After unlocking the shortcut, head to the grand hall but don't take the stairs going up. Look for an entrance leading to a long hallway where you'll find a loot, x3 Briostone Trio. You're in the right place if you spot a Ruiner. Defeat it and move forward. In this hallway, you'll find a waiting area with a nearby chest. Open it to receive the following. x2 Large Deralium Shards, x3 Regular Deralium Nuggets, and x8 Small Deralium Fragments. Keep following the hall, and at the end, there's a room blocked by an iron door. Use your Umbral Lamp to pass through. Grab the nearest loot for a x1 Smouldering Ring. Leave the room, and a Conflagrant Seer guards the lever for the spiral staircase. Deal with the Seer, then interact with the lever. You'll notice the spiral staircase on the other side adjusting its position.

After activating the lever, head to the other side of the grand hall and notice that there's a wooden barricade that you can easily destroy. Past it is a wooder door that leads long storage area where a Raw Mangler is located. Pick up the x1 Heavenly Vial along the way. Follow the hall and exit through the nearest opening. An Infernal Enchantress is guarding the area so take care of it before proceeding. Follow the hall and you will find yourself in a small library. Get x1 Seething Vigor Skull near the shelves. Proceed by heading back to the lever, there is a stone staircase that you can access in the lower area of the grand hall. You are in the right area if you encounter a Proselyte. You will notice that there is an opening that leads you to a long staircase beneath the grand hall. At the end of the stone staircase, the path will split into two. However, before proceeding, plant a Vestige Seedling as there is an available Umbral Flowerbed in this hallway. Rest and recuperate. If you are in Umbral, return to Axiom.

Rest up, then head to the nearby dead end for a loot, x2 Holy Salts. Now, go the other way. This hallway leads to a lower area with intricate machinery. Watch out, it's filled with enemies like Rhogar Hounds, Proselytes, and Infernal Enchantresses. Switch to Umbral to grab a loot on a separate platform, which is x1 Lord's Bite. Once done, return to the grand hall. You'll spot a large door that you can open. This leads to the iron gate shortcut where the Vestige of Bloody Pilgrim is. Before unlocking it, grab the x1 Seething Vigor Skull near the lever, then pull it to open the gate.

After unlocking the shortcut, return to the waiting area where the chest with upgrade materials is located. This is on the side of the grand hall where you faced a Ruiner. Instead of going to the spiral staircase, take the nearest opening that leads to an area with a staircase and paintings. Remember this spot, as you'll use the Royal Key here later. Now, return to the spiral staircase. We're going to explore the upper levels of the castle. Be cautious, as it's filled with enemies like Proselytes, Rhogar Hounds, and the like. Head towards the first opening you come across while ascending the spiral staircase. You'll find a Proselyte guarding the area along with some Husks.

Defeat the enemies and head into the nearest room. Open the chest to get x1 Lord Gauntlets, x1 Lord Armour, and x1 Lord Leggings. Exit and move towards the area with a Trapper. There's a door behind it. After dealing with the enemy, open the door to find a wooden ladder shortcut. Pull it down to connect to the storage area you've been before. There's also a flowerbed here if you need to rest. Near the ladder is another door shortcut accessible with an Umbral Lamp. Unlock it to access the area near the broken stone staircase. Once open, loot a body nearby for x2 Large Manastone Cluster and x3 Ammunition Satchel.

Return to the upper level of the castle after unlocking the shortcuts. Head to the bridge on the other side. Look for bookshelves and grab the x1 Royal Key. Proceed down the hallway where you'll face two Rhogar Hounds. Unlock a nearby door using the Royal Key. In the Umbral Realm, access the platforms to reach an Umbral Belly. Align the platforms with Soulflay and carefully move between them. Soulflay the Umbral Belly to obtain an x1 Saintly Quintessence.

Return to the lower floor and find the door that requires the Royal Key. If you're unsure, use the spiral staircase to reach the grand hall, where there was a fire blocking your way. Access Umbral to pass through. Once past the paintings, use the Royal Key to open the door leading to the dining hall. In the hall, you'll find several treasure chests. Two are empty, but open the left one to receive an x1 Minor Wither Salts, x1 Shield of the First of the Beasts, and x1 Hilvit.

In the hallway, you'll find a x3 Bleed Salts on an altar near a painting. Go back to the dining hall, and by the long table, you'll spot the King's Stigma. Activate it for x2 Umbral Scouring. Right behind it, grab the x1 Sword of the Flayed. Head through the door leading to an open area. There, you'll face a Skinstealer. Defeat it and pick up the x1 Pendant of Infernal Oblation. You'll also find an Emergence Effigy here. Beyond it, break the wooden barricade. Unlock the wooden ladder to create a shortcut to previous areas.

Switch to Umbral, and activate the lift, but don't board it yet. There's an Umbral Belly nearby that you can Soulflay to obtain an x1 Saintly Quintessence. Activate the lever again to call back the lift. This time, ride it to reach the upper level. Once there, step off the lift and utilize your Umbral Lamp to pass through the iron gate and cross the broken stone bridge. If you're already in Umbral form, you can proceed without using the lamp. At the end of the bridge, pick up the x1 Vigor Moth.

Descend to the lower level by carefully navigating down step by step. You'll land in the upper part of the dining hall. If not in Umbral, progress by moving cautiously across the wooden platforms and pillars. In Umbral form, take advantage of the solid rock formations. Keep an eye out for hanging loot items. There are two in total. Use a ranged weapon or magic spell to bring them down. Collect both for the following rewards: x1 Grace of Adyr Mask, x1 Grace of Adyr Loincloth, and x1 Grace of Adyr Scalp.

Make your way up the spiral staircase in the grand hall to reach the highest point it leads. At the top, you'll find a door. Use the Royal Key to open it and step into a study room filled with furniture and a central statue. Follow the circular path and discover a chest holding x1 Lord Catalyst and x5 Large Manastone Cluster. Take the stairs to the upper level and continue along the circular path. At the end, find an x1 Animated Vigor Skull. Proceed to the set of stone staircases leading to the outer ramparts, where you'll see supporting pillars. Plant a Vestige Seedling in the flowerbed here to create a checkpoint.

Continue along the straight path. After passing a wooden platform that breaks, you'll encounter two Ruiners guarding the area. Before engaging them, grab the x1 Large Deralium Shards. This will be a challenging fight, so stay patient. After defeating the Ruiners, collect the x3 Frostbite Salts from the ground. Head towards the nearest entrance leading to the king's bedroom. There, you'll find the x1 Swaddling Cloth on the baby's cradle and the x1 Lord Mask found on the bed. Locate the nearest balcony, switch to Umbral, and Soulflay the closest platform. Jump onto it and retrieve the item from the crystal, which is x5 Fire Ward. Proceed further into the inner section, following the crystal pathway. As you pass through an arc, you'll eventually come across an area guarded by a Ruiner. Deal with it, and not far from there, a Conflagrant Seer awaits.

After dealing with the enemies, look for the wooden barricade that you can destroy. You will notice that you can jump on a broken pillar below you. Jump on it and acquire the loot which is a x1 Deralium Chunk. Jump to the stone staircase below get the loot and receive a Bartholomew's Hammer.

Before the final boss fight, it's recommended to set up a checkpoint by using the Umbral Flowerbed. Head up the broad stone staircase, and you'll come across another spacious area on your right. Soulflay the Umbral Belly to obtain x1 Umbral Eye of Lydia the Numb Witch. Nearby, there's another loot, but beware, it's a trap with a Ravenous Fascinator, so it's best to avoid it for now. Before long, you'll enter a wide arena, triggering a cutscene.

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. For more information about this boss, we have a dedicated page for all the Bosses in the game just in case you want a much detailed guide on how to defeat certain bosses. After defeating The Sundered Monarch, receive the following rewards. x1 Vestige Seed and x8 Umbral Scouring. Access Umbral and Soulflay The Sundered Monarch's Stigma and receive the following rewards, x2 Umbral Scouring and x1 Remembrance of the Sundered Monarch.

The Sundered Monarch, our next colossal foe, commands a vast arena with its imposing size. Its strength lies in its sheer mass, allowing it to unleash wide, ground-shaking strikes and even close distances swiftly with leaps. It wields formidable attacks using its body and fists and can hurl projectiles at its target. When its health drops below 80%, it adorns itself with a stone statue head, enhancing its combat prowess. For detailed strategies on this boss and others, refer to our dedicated Bosses guide. Upon victory, you'll be rewarded with x1 Vestige Seed and x8 Umbral Scouring. In Umbral, Soulflay The Sundered Monarch's Stigma for additional rewards: x2 Umbral Scouring and x1 Remembrance of the Sundered Monarch.

Boss Remarks

Be reminded that players need to defeat The Sundered Monarch so The Iron Wayfarer will move to Fief of the Chill Curse. By accessing Umbral, players can then find him and use the Withered Rune of Adyr that kills him and it will grant players with Harkyn's Umbral Parasite.

Head up the stone stairs near the throne. At the upper level, if you helped Damarose the Marked with her questline, you'll be able to loot her body in Adyr's Effigy for Damarose's Set and Miranda's Touch. You'll also find a stigma on the upper floor to Soulflay regardless of whether you completed that quest or not. This triggers an event, rewarding you with x2 Umbral Scouring. Adyr, the Bereft Exile, will engage you in conversation. Your choices here will significantly shape the fate of the realm. Note that this guide follows the Radiance path, considered the normal ending. The game offers three distinct endings, which you can explore further in our Endings guide. Following your conversation with Adyr, choose "Enter the Rhogar Realm."

In this part, you'll face Adyr in a unique boss fight. Your goal is to locate Adyr's slaves marked with his glowing rune in the arena. Dispatch each one, and this will gradually weaken Adyr. Once Adyr's health is depleted, the battle concludes, leading to the Radiance Ending. Congratulations on completing the game! While this guide covers one ending, there are still two more to explore.

Boss Remarks

Note that players can only confront Adyr and get his exclusive rewards by pursuing the Radiance Ending. After defeating this boss, it will trigger this specific

After meeting the NPCs inside the Hub, proceed to the tall archway that will lead you to a balcony with a beautiful view of the landscape. You will find Andreas of Ebb standing near the edge of the cliff, looking over the vast land before him. He stands tall and dons a black outfit with silver-plated chest armor. As soon as you approach him, the first thing he notices is the lamp that you're carrying, as well as the responsibilities that come with it.

Keep talking to Andreas of Ebb and exhaust his dialogues. He will tell you about his ancestor, known as the great ruler Antanas, the very same man who defied Adyr and Rhogar and saved the whole world. This honorable man that he speaks about, apparently died to a common criminal after he was betrayed. The true goal of Andreas of Ebb is that he seeks to take the lamp from you. He tries to tell you that the Lampbearer is an unfortunate victim who is shackled to such a grim fate and wishes to take that burden from you.

Andreas of Ebb claims that a man of his pedigree can't simply stand idle while a man is suffering. He pretends that he's trying to help you and reiterates once again to hand over the lamp to him. However, you can't do anything about his offer, for now.

Once you reach Forsaken Fen and defeat The Congregator of Flesh, this will lead Andreas of Ebb to further solidify his belief that what you hold is the genuine Umbral Lamp. You will find that he has moved to the interior of the Skyrest Bridge near the Vestige of Ethryg. Once you approach him, he will urge you to venture into Fief of the Chill Curse and he will hand you the Fief Key and the Map of the Fief of the Chill Curse. He will say that the world is conflicted more than ever, and what they need is a man to unite them before they tear each other apart like dogs.

NOTE: If you happen to miss the interaction above, Andreas of Ebb will leave Skyrest Bridge and he will leave the Fief Key and Map of the Fief of the Chill Curse. in the same location.

Your next interaction with Andreas of Ebb will happen in the same place inside Skyrest Bridge, this event will be triggered after defeating the Spurned Progeny. He will leave Andreas of Ebb's Elegantly Penned Note in the same place where you last saw him. He leaves you a note saying that he has left to venture into the Fief of Chill Curse. He even gives you advice to not cower in fear like the ones worthy of lesser merit.

Andreas of Ebb still pretends to be a friend of yours during all of this, but unknowing to the Deathless one, he has prepared a trap for them at the Fief of Chill Curse. As you explore the icy tunnel, you will first fight a monster wielding an axe that can shoot Ice Arcs in front of them. After that, a voice can be heard grunting with effort to drop a trap on top of you. If the radius of this trap hits you, you will die. Past this trap, you can pick up 1x Halting Gesture.

After the incident at Fief of Chill Curse, you will find Andreas of Ebb once again in Skyrest Bridge, but he will move to one of the alcoves in the Sleeping Quarters. He will tell you about the item he lost during a scuffle (Andreas of Ebb's Book of Lineage). This item can be obtained by interacting with a Stigma found on the Upper part of the Skyrest Bridge, in a tower behind a door accessible by the shortcut from Upper Calrath.

If you give the book back to Andreas of Ebb, he will offer to assist you. He boasts of his skills as a fine swordsman and how it is a privilege to have a man of his pedigree by your side. Otherwise, you will find him at Upper Calrath Plaza where he offers to assist again but will go back on his word. As soon as you exit the arena after defeating the Lightreaper with him, he will attack you for the lamp that you're carrying.

Once defeated, Andreas of Ebb will drop the following rewards:

Byron

Meet Byron at Pilgrim's Perch.
Byron will formally introduce himself at Forsaken Fen.
Byron is enraged upon finding out that Catrin's Pendant is missing in Sunless Skein.
Get x1 Bemoaning Gesture.
Find The Missing Pendant.
Get x1 Celebration Gesture.
Unite Winterberry and Byron.
Byron and Winterberry will move inside the Hub at Skyrest Bridge.
Find out about Byron's plans and exhaust his dialogues.
Byron's Set and Byron's Shovel can now be purchased from Winterberry's shop.
Winterberry will keep Catrin's 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 interact with 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

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 return to Upper Calrath without informing Byron of Winterberry's true intentions, 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 who took the pendant. When you find what remains of Winterberry, you will have the option to reveal to Byron the truth or stay silent about it.

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 him 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, including the following items:

If you tell Byron the truth, he will disappear from the world forever and he will leave 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.

Meet the Red Coat at Pilgrim's Perch.
Damarose the Marked will introduce herself in the mines and become a Merchant.
Use Damarose's Seedpod on her while she's still in Pilgrim's Perch.

Go inside the building from the scaffolding at Pilgrim's Perch, then climb down the ladder, and turn right to find a character adorned in a red coat. You can't see much of her face due to her hood. Speaking to her will reveal her allegiances with Adyr and she'll warn you not to go around cleansing the beacons. She'll also mention she'd seen a Dark Crusader wielding your Umbral Lamp before you not too long ago. She won't start a fight with you though and she'll leave you alone after you keep talking to her.

You will find Damarose the Marked in the area below the Vestige of Blind Agatha. You can access this level by using the elevator opposite the Vestige. When you get to the mines, you will find more Pilgrims guarding here. Eliminate all threats and continue to explore and head deeper below. Use the ladder at the end of the path, which will take you to another elevator leading you to the lower levels.

Activate the switch and head out the torch-lit path in front of you. Damarose the Marked is standing idly here. When you first approach her, she first points out that you are now seeing through the lies of everyone around you including that of the Church, crusaders, sentinels, and madmen... most importantly, she will point out that she's wondering if you will play a role in the return of Adyr. Damarose insists that Adyr has no time for the weak, and neither should you.

After exhausting her dialogs, you can now check her items for sale. She sells a unique spell called Adyr's Rage and other items too.

Adyr's Faithful Servant

NOTE: When you first met Damarose the Marked, she warned you not to go around cleansing beacons. This is because it will affect her current questline. If you decide that you will be cleansing beacons, Damarose will stop being a Merchant and will set her on a path to confront you. She will try to prevent you from ruining the return of Adyr by fighting you at the gates of Bramis Castle. However, if you will not be cleansing Beacons, Damarose will have a different outcome. She's essential in alternating the Endings players can get in Lords of the Fallen.

In our playthrough, we decided to cleanse the beacons, so before you continue doing so, make sure to purchase items from Damarose before you proceed. After defeating The Hushed Saint in Forsaken Fen and cleansing the first beacon, Damarose the Marked will be encountered later on as a secondary Boss.

You will find Damarose the Marked in the gates before you enter Bramis Castle. She intends to stop the Deathless One from preventing the return of Adyr. Upon defeat, she will drop the following items:

x1 Damarose's Cleaver
x1 Vestige Seed

If you decided not to cleanse the beacons, then, after meeting Damarose the Marked in Pilgrim's Perch, you will find her next at Fitzroy's Gorge. She will be seen observing Crimson Rector Percival from a distance. After this scenario, she will move to the next location where the Shrine of Adyr can be found.

NOTE: If you have killed Crimson Rector Percival, then his body will be found on a stone slab next to Damarose in the cave. If you haven't, he will disappear from the world and his body will appear in the same cave.

In the same cave mentioned above, speak to Damarose the Marked where she asks you to retrieve the Adyr-Worshipper's Saw (this item can be obtained in the Calrath cistern). Upon bringing the item, she will turn the body of Crimson Rector Percival into a failed, lifeless proselyte. Then, she asks for 3 pieces of Rhogar's flesh:

Infernal Enchantress Flesh - obtained by defeating the Infernal Enchantress at the start of Lower Calrath
Spurned Progeny Flesh - obtained by defeating the boss in Lower Calrath
Lightreaper Flesh - obtained by defeating the Lightreaper

As soon as you have collected the 3 items, she will meet you at the gates of Bramis Castle and reward you with x1 Damarose's Cleaver. Then, ends the interaction there. You will find her lifeless body incorporated into the effigy of Adyr inside the Bramis Castle Throne Room (replacing Melchior). You can obtain the following items nearby:

Damarose the Marked's Role in Endings in Lords of the Fallen

Unlocking the Umbral Ending in Lords of the Fallen will require killing certain NPCs. By doing so, it will automatically lock out players from completing their quests as well as interacting with them. To unlock the Umbral Ending, do the following related to Damarose the Marked:

In Mother's Lull, first, interact with the non-hostile Remnant to acquire Damarose's Seedpod.
Use the Seedpod on Damarose to kill her. By doing this, it will grant access to the first floating platform in Mother's Lull.

NOTE: Players should find Damarose at Pilgrim's Perch if they plan on using the seed on her.

Refer to the Endings page for the full guide on how to get the Umbral Ending.

Drustan

Meet Drustan at Fitzroy's Gorge.
Find Drustan again at the burning hall in Fitzroy's Gorge.
Give him x1 Unripe Berries.
Find Drustan once more at Fief of the Chill Curse by the courtyard.
Light the campfire to keep him warm.
Trace Drustan's final moments in a derelict tower in Bramis Castle by interacting with a Stigma.

When you first meet Drustan in the cave at Fitzroy's Gorge, the first thing he will do is introduce himself. Oddly enough, he says the player is a "lampy", just like them. If you look at him, you will notice the lamp he's carrying on his waist. This is the story that Andreas of Ebb told you when you first met him at Skyrest Bridge, about men who brag about the lamp they carry. It seems that this young man has been deceived that what he's carrying is the legitimate Umbral Lamp, but he has no idea that he has been lied to.

Drustan thinks that he's now immortal with the fake lamp that he's carrying and brags that nothing can hurt them. He plans on making a display of himself by chopping off his head as soon as he sees his brother by the name of Melchior. He laughs at his own idea and then shares the story of how his famous brother, is a knight who has fought dragons and giants. He said that he was traveling with his brother but he fell and knocked on his head, and when he came back to his senses, his brother was gone. He thinks that their enemies took him because Melchior would never leave him. He said that he needs to go now and look for his brother so he can become a hero. Leave this place for now and you will encounter him again later.

As you enter the big building at Fitzroy's Gorge, you will find Drustan again on a balcony below the Vestige of Lydia the Numb Witch. There is a small doorway that leads to Drustan's second location. On this second encounter, you will notice Drustan is wearing a Helmet that looks like a bucket. He tells you that "a nice man with a little mustache" informed him that his brother was taken by "baddies" towards the castle. He is on his way to the castle but is just resting a bit and tired from the heat. He said he managed to get a helmet that he picked up from a beheaded body.

Drustan still hasn't found Melchior but he is determined to look for him. He continues to share that Melchior said that Mournstead would be the answer to their problems, despite Drustan not knowing what those problems are. Drustan has strong faith in his brother and believes that he'll sort everything out once he finds him. At this point, you have already exhausted his dialogues. You will have the option to hand him 1x Unripe Berry in exchange for 1x Wheezing Gesture.

When you get to the Fief of the Chill Curse, Drustan has been making his way to look for his brother Melchior. However, due to the cold in the region, Drustan needed to stop and rest because he was having trouble feeling his fingers or his toes. It seems that Drustan is nearing his end and he tells you that he can't manage to light the fire in front of him due to the numbness that he's feeling. He's confident that the lamp will bring him back should he die, and he's still clueless that the lamp he carries is a fake one.

Help out Drustan by interacting with the campfire in front of him. When you do, he will tell you that he's planning on going to Bramis Castle, because it was the last place that his brother was seen heading off to. Helping out Drustan in this area will help him further in searching for his brother Melchior.

Your next interaction with Drustan, or the stigma that will reveal Drustan's final moments will take place in Bramis Castle. This is the place where he thought he would be reunited with his brother but instead, this is where he met his demise. In one of the derelict towers, you will find a stigma and a loot. The stigma will reveal that Drustan was resting and singing inside this tower, when he heard a scuffle from the edge. As he looked down, a Ravenous Fascinator attacked him, taking his life. Beware: The same enemy is still lurking here.

The following items can be picked up from this area:

If you watch this stigma revealing Drustan's final moments, another stigma will be unlocked for you inside the throne room at Bramis Castle. This stigma will show the fate of Melchior, where he was asking for forgiveness from his brother, for causing all of this. It turns out that Melchior had been taken and his body was incorporated into the effigy of Adyr.

NOTE: If you missed the scenarios of helping out Drustan, you will find his remains in the gatehouse of Fief of the Chill Curse leaving x1 Drustan's Hammer and x1 Boar's Head Shield.

Eustace

Meet Eustace outside one of the alcoves in the sleeping quarters in Skyrest Bridge.
When Stomund leaves for the manse, he informs you about this.

Once players find Stomund's Note, Eustace will inform the Deathless One of Stomund's plans. Eustace will reveal that their Captain has left Skyrest Bridge for Manse of the Hallowed Brothers, and intends to take matters into his own hands.

Exacter Dunmire

exacter dunmire 1 npc lords of the fallen wiki guide 300px min

Meet Exacter Dunmire at Skyrest Bridge.
He will ask you to recover items that will reveal the Hallowed Sentinels' deviations and malpractices.
Give him the Umbral Tome and he will move next to the Shrine of the Putrid Mother.
Give him the Perception Wisp, and he will move to Sunless Skein.
After resting, he will move to the bottom of Revelation Depths.
Go to the well that leads to Mother's Lull and find his items nearby.
Go inside Mother's Lull and speak to him for the last time.
Loot his remaining items next to a Stigma in Upper Calrath, on a path that leads to Sunless Skein.

Below is the list of items related to Exacter Dunmire's Requests:

Bloody Aspergillum - Recovered from a statue in Pilgrim's Perch within the arena of Scourged Sister Delyth.
Book of Sin - Recovered from an Umbral Belly in the lower scaffolding in Pilgrim's Perch.
Hallowed Sentinel Scripture - Recovered in a cage at the very top of Pilgrim's Perch. (Possibly also found in Forsaken Fen.)
Vanguard Barros' Rosary - Unlocks a new spell and sword, and can be recovered in Forsaken Fen.
Ravager Gregory's Rosary - Unlocks a new armor set and sword, and can be recovered in Lower Calrath.
Dark Crusader's Call - Recovered after defeating Harrower Dervla the Pledged Knight.
Umbral Tome - Found in Upper Calrath, on a path that leads to Sunless Skein.
Perception Wisp - Obtained from one of the Stigmas in Tower of Penance.

Exacter Dunmire previously gave you a task to recover items that expose the truth about the Hallowed Sentinels. He will ask for the Bloody Aspergillum, which is an item that can be obtained within the arena of the Boss Scourged Sister Delyth. Upon entering her arena, look at the left side where you see a tall statue. The boss will not move from the center of the arena so you can still safely loot this item after defeating 2 minions.

The Book of Sin can be obtained by interacting with an Umbral Belly in the scaffolding of Pilgrim's Perch. You can find this location by crossing the Umbral Realm and passing through a bone bridge. This will take you to the lower part of the scaffolding in Pilgrim's Perch - Descent. Soulflay the Umbral Belly to recover the item.

The third item that Exacter Dunmire will ask from you is the Hallowed Sentinel Scripture. This item can be obtained after locating the cage guarded by a Pureblade on a wooden platform overlooking Forsaken Fen.

After that, Exacter Dunmire will ask you to recover Vanguard Barros' Rosary and Ravager Gregory's Rosary. These items will unlock their respective sets of armor and swords. These items will become purchasable from Exacter Dunmire's Merchant Inventory. Vanguard Barros' Rosary can be found in one of the huts in Forsaken Fen, near an Emergence Effigy. The Ravager Gregory's Rosary is located in Lower Calrath.

Once you're done with recovering the rosaries, Exacter Dunmire will ask for proof of Harrower Devla's death who stole his Dark Crusader's Call. After defeating them, bring the item back to Exacter Dunmire. At this point, his obsession with the Umbral is becoming more apparent and he will ask you to retrieve an Umbral Tome. This item can be located in the early section of navigating Upper Calrath, on a path that leads to Sunless Skein. As soon as you have this item and return to Skyrest Bridge, you will find that Exacter Dunmire has moved into Molhu's room, next to the Shrine of the Putrid Mother.

The last item that Exacter Dunmire will ask from you is the Perception Wisp, an item that can be obtained in Tower of Penance. Look for a breakable wooden wall and locate a Stigma inside a cell to get this item. Once you have it, you will find Exacter Dunmire in Sunless Skein. Then, he will move to another location at the bottom of Revelation Depths, just before the entrance to Harrower Dervla's arena. Speak to him, then rest at a Vestige.

When you make your way to the well leading to Mother's Lull, you will find Dunmire's Ring and Dunmire's Rosary next to it. Exacter Dunmire himself can be spoken to once inside Mother's Lull for the last time. After that, he will disappear from the world. Completing his quest will grant you the following items to loot next to a remnant at a tunnel in Upper Calrath leading to Sunless Skein:

Forlorn Hound

Defeat the Gentle Gaverus, Mistress of Hounds.
Rest at a Vestige.
Return to Skyrest Bridge to find the Forlorn Hound in one of the alcoves.

How to get the Forlorn Hound in Lords of the Fallen

The Forlorn Hound was once a loyal companion to the Mistress of Hounds, but after her defeat, this hound will move to a closer location. To defeat Gentle Gaverus, Mistress of Hounds, you need to approach her arena where she will be standing alone in the middle. Her move set is relatively simple, comprising of a series of basic sword slashes when in melee range and a charged bow attack that has a sound cue when in range. The difficulty of this fight stems from the Hounds Gaverus will summon. You can opt to simply focus on Gaverus to conclude the boss fight, however, you may find yourself being overwhelmed quickly the more Hounds there are on the battlefield

At the start of the fight, two Hounds will be present. Defeat them quickly, then move over to Gaverus to chip at her health. If she's in the middle of a ranged attack animation, she can be interrupted easily by simply hitting her. Her sword attacks you'll have to be a bit more careful of. At about two-thirds health, she'll call in a third Hound. Again, defeat the hound and then focus fire on Gaverus.

Once defeated, you can head back to Skyrest Bridge and you will find the Forlorn Hound resting in one of the alcoves in front of the Shrine of Orius. Rest at a Vestige if you can't find the hound.

Gerlinde

gerlinde the blacksmith 1 npc lords of the fallen wiki guide 300px min

Explore Pilgrim's Perch and find Gerlinde locked up in one of the cells.
Retrieve the x1 Prison Cell Key from the nearby enemy.
Give the key to Gerlinde.
Rest at a Vestige and return to Skyrest Bridge.
Gerlinde will now set up her shop at the Hub, together with Sparky.
She will ask you to recover 3 tablets.
Cracked Rune Tablet will unlock rune options.
Chipped Rune Tablet will unlock advanced rune options.
Rune Tablet will unlock more rune options and will prompt Gerlinde to reward you with Crafter's Essence.
Gerlinde will move to Sterleveaux Commonwealth.

How to Unlock the Blacksmith in LotF

After activating the Vestige of Blind Agatha, use the elevator opposite it to reach the lower levels of the mine. As soon as you get off the elevator, look for the nearest ladder and use it where you will fight more Pilgrims and hounds. After eliminating them, pick up the items that they will drop, including a 1x Prison Cell Key. You can hear some hammering in the distance, indicating the presence of the Blacksmith. As you explore the depths of the mine, you will find the Blacksmith is locked inside a cell.

As you approach her, she will complain about the sentinels, their bells, and how they insult her skills. After exhausting her dialogues, she will tell you to hand over "that" key. Then, you will get an option to hand over the Prison Cell Key (the one you looted from the Pilgrim), or do nothing. A blacksmith would serve you well so you must free Gerlinde, by handing over the Prison Cell key. After that, you can now return to Skyrest Bridge where she will set up shop together with Sparky.

Once you have made your way to her shop, she will ask for your help to retrieve some items, or specifically, tablets that contain valuable runesmithing secrets created by Sparky. An odd duo, it appears that Sparky has been enslaved by Gerlinde and is wearing manacles that keep it from fighting back. Sparky refuses to tell you the locations of the tablets, but Gerlinde insists that if you help her retrieve those, she can help you in runesmithing and even expand her inventory.

After exhausting her dialogues, you can now see her items for sale, and upgrade your equipment. You can also return to the cell that they vacated in Pilgrim's Perch to recover some Small Deralium Fragment that was left behind.

Recover the Missing Tablets

As previously mentioned by Gerlinde, Sparky possesses valuable knowledge in runesmithing. All of these were carved into tablets and kept secret from Gerlinde. As a Blacksmith, she will ask you for the following items and promises that she can give you stronger upgrades when the items are recovered. Below you will see how to find Gerlinde's Tablets in Lords of the Fallen:

Cracked Rune Tablet - Found inside Fitzroy's Gorge. This will unlock rune options and expand her inventory.
Chipped Rune Tablet - Found in a house in Upper Calrath leading to Sunless Skein. This will unlock further rune options and expand her inventory.
Rune Tablet - Found in a chest inside the Tower of Penance. This will unlock further rune options and expand her inventory.

Once you find the rune tablet, both Gerlinde and Sparky will ask you for the tablet. Sparky tells you that he only dreams of his freedom and if you give it to Gerlinde, she will have no use of him anymore. If you decide to give it to Sparky, he will be able to free himself from the manacles created by Gerlinde. As a reward, he will grant you the ability to perform runesmithing at Vestiges. However, this will anger Gerlinde and her prices will double.

If you decide to give the tablet to Gerlinde, Sparky will disappear from your world forever after resting at a Vestige or traveling outside of Skyrest Bridge. Gerlinde will also reward you with Crafter's Essence. She will also tell you that she's back to working alone and better at her craft. She further shares that she'll be moving to Sterleveaux Commonwealth now that she has acquired the knowledge in Rune smithing.

Gerlinde's Role in Endings in Lords of the Fallen

In Mother's Lull, first, interact with the non-hostile Remnant to acquire Gerlinde's Seedpod.
Use the Seedpod on Gerlinde to kill her. By doing this, it will grant access to the second floating platform in Mother's Lull.

Refer to the Endings page for the full guide on how to get the Umbral Ending.

Adyr takes the body of Iselle and returns to rule Mournstead once again.

Judge Cleric plays a pivotal role in how the ending will turn out for the Deathless One. To begin Inside the Cleric's Mind quest, it will require players to progress the story and defeat the Hallowed Sentinels without cleansing any of the beacons until they claim the Rune of Adyr. Players would have to fight their way into the Abbey of the Hallowed Sisters and look for the Umbral Flowerbed at the end of the hall, near the candle-lit doorway. Head into the room with the lit candles and walk to the altar to find the Rune of Adyr. However, as the Deathless One reaches out to grab the rune, the Rapturous Huntress of the Dusk jumps down from the ceiling and prevents you from taking it.

NOTE: If The Iron Wayfarer is still alive during this fight, he will join the fight and appear behind the boss. He will also take the rune for himself and you will have to fight him at the doors of Bramis Castle to take the rune from him.

As the Deathless One enters the premises of Bramis Castle, a short cutscene will play that will transform The Dark Crusader Rosary that you're carrying in your inventory. This will replace it with the broken version of it. Then, continue exploring Bramis Castle until you reach the Throne Room and defeat The Sundered Monarch.

Walk up the stairs behind the throne to find the Effigy of Adyr. Interact with Adyr, the Bereft Exile. Adyr's voice will speak out and tell the Deathless One that they have been watching them.

Adyr will praise the Deathless One for all the choices that they have made so far to earn an audience with them. Adyr welcomes the Deathless One and shares a lecture on how humans are incapable of shepherding themselves, and only brought war, greed, suffering, and chaos upon each other. With this, Adyr claims that mankind needs a god to rule over them, more than ever.

Offer the Rune of Adyr, and he will bless this rune and make it even stronger by transforming it into the Empowered Rune of Adyr. He will command you to use this on all five beacons and to confront Iselle, who hides behind the identity of a judge. Cleanse the beacons in the following order found in these Locations:

Judge Cleric can be found at The Empyrean and it's imperative that you cleanse this for the finale. If you have defeated Judge Cleric, The Radiant Sentinel previously, her weakened version can be found near the beacon. Otherwise, you will need to fight her first before you can cleanse the beacon in this location.

Interact with the Judge Cleric and enter her mind. A cutscene will play which shows Iselle, living a life where she tends to her garden. She notices your presence and will beckon you to come forward. Use the Empowered Rune of Adyr on Iselle and another cutscene will play. With that, Adyr takes the body of Iselle and returns to rule Mournstead once again, and this time, with the Deathless One as one of his first Rhogar Lords.

Please check out the Inferno Ending page to find out more about the rewards for completing this specific ending for Lords of the Fallen.

Interact with the weakened Judge Cleric near the beacon and enter her mind.
Meet Iselle and use the Empowered Rune of Adyr on her.
Adyr takes the body of Iselle and returns to rule Mournstead once again.

Judge Cleric plays a pivotal role in how the ending will turn out for the Deathless One. To begin Inside the Cleric's Mind quest, it will require players to progress the story and defeat the Colossal Sentinels without cleansing any of the beacons until they claim the Rune of Adyr. Players would have to fight their way into the Abbey of the Hallowed Sisters and look for the Umbral Flowerbed at the end of the hall, near the candle-lit doorway. Head into the room with the lit candles and walk to the altar to find the Rune of Adyr. However, as the Deathless One reaches out to grab the rune, the Rapturous Huntress of the Dusk jumps down from the ceiling and prevents you from taking it.

After the fight, there's a Stigma that players can interact with to reveal a remnant showing the king's history of gore and bloodshed. Walk up the stairs behind the throne to find the Effigy of Adyr. Interact with Adyr, the Bereft Exile. Adyr's voice will speak out and tell the Deathless One that they have been watching them.

Kukajin

kukajin 1 npc lords of the fallen wiki guide 300px min

Meet The Petrified Woman in Forsaken Fen.
Cast any Radiant Healing Spell to help her.
She will move to Skyrest Bridge after.
The Petrified Woman will introduce herself as Kukajin of the Envenomed and offers to fight with you.
Honor Kukajin's Invoice.
Claim her items upon completing her quest.

As you explore Forsaken Fen, you will come across a petrified woman. At first, you will hear humming sounds coming from a cave, and if you follow that sound, you can locate her. You will find out that she is a mercenary for hire and she was traveling with a Sorcerer who goes by the name of Wilmarc. She shares that the sorcerer told her that if she let him envigorate her skin with his magic, it would toughen her skin against harm, however, it turned out that she would become petrified. You can also see that there's an item right behind Kukajin but you can't pick it up yet because her body is blocking it.

She goes on to tell you that she was hired by the sorcerer for protection during his journey to Mournstead but she said that the sorcerer ran off when creatures started to show up as soon as she started petrifying. As you exhaust her dialogues, she tells you "Get this damn thing off me and I'll be in your debt. And who doesn't appreciate having a favor in the pocket?"

To free the Petrified Woman, you can make use of any Radiant spell to help turn her from the petrified state and return to a blood and flesh state. After doing so, she recognizes that you are familiar with Magic and she will give you a 1x Pendant of Induration. She tells you that it is better off in your hands, after all, she was taught by her father to stay away from Magic. Then, she will move to the Hub at the Skyrest Bridge where she awaits you. She will now offer to fight alongside you as a companion during certain boss fights in exchange for bringing her payment after each fight. This agreement between the player and Kukajin is called the Kukajin Invoice.

Locate Wilmarc's Body

Wilmarc is the name of the sorcerer that Kukajin used to travel with before she was turned into a petrified state. Prior to that event, she also told you that she was hired by the Sorcerer for protection during his travel to Mournstead. Wilmarc ran off as soon as Kukajin started petrifying and this resulted in his death as he was last seen being chased by monsters.

You will find Wilmarc's body in a makeshift hut with patched wood within Forsaken Fen. This is an optional quest and is not required to progress the storyline of Kukajin.

Kukajin's Companion Quest

After restoring Kukajin to her flesh and blood state, she will be grateful for your help. She will also recognize that you are able to wield Magic by using the Radiant spell on her and thus, she will give you a 1x Pendant of Induration, an item that she had won from a dice game. Kukajin has a penchant for avoiding magic, and will even warn you against using the lamp despite not knowing what it can do. Afterward, she will tell you to meet at Skyrest Bridge where she will offer her services.

Kukajin will not immediately move from her location so she will still be blocking the item at her back. Simply rest at the nearby Vestige and return to her spot to retrieve 1x Wilmarc's Catalyst. Then, travel back to Skyrest Bridge and you will find Kukajin in one of the alcoves in the sleeping chambers next to the Main Hall. This time, she will formally introduce herself as Kukajin, of the Envenomed, one of the finest mercenary company before. She tells you that she has heard of the responsibilities asked of you and has offered to help you in exchange for a small fee.

She says that while she is grateful, she is not an idiot who will put her life on the line for free. She said that you can beckon her to help you out in fights and expects payment afterward. She puts it simply in a way that she helps you out, you pay her, and both of you stay as friends. Otherwise, it will complicate things.

After that, Kukajin can now be summoned to help with some Boss fights in LotF. If you are good with your payments and honor the Kukajin Invoice as a friend, she will disappear after and leave behind the following items:

What is the Kukajin Invoice?

A Kukajin Invoice is an agreement between the player and the NPC that she will receive a share of the bounty (payment) after each fight. Kukajin can be summoned to help defeat certain bosses in Lords of the Fallen. She expects to receive a payment after every fight by visiting her in the Hub on Skyrest Bridge.

What happens if you miss a payment to Kukajin?

If you happen to miss a payment, Kukajin will remind you of your agreement and will warn you against breaking your word. If you go fight another boss without paying her, then she will disappear from the Hub and will move to the plaza in Upper Calrath near the gatehouse that leads back to Skyrest Bridge. She will initiate a fight if you don't honor your agreement. If you defeat Kukajin, she will drop 1x Kukajin's Sword.

This Stigma depicting Melchior's final moments is only revealed if you interact with the Stigma inside a derelict tower in Bramis Castle. This stigma will show the fate of Melchior, where he was asking for forgiveness from his brother, Drustan, for causing all of this. It turns out that Melchior had been taken and his body was incorporated into the effigy of Adyr.

Once players find Stomund's Note, Nathaniel will inform the Deathless One of Stomund's plans. Nathaniel will reveal that their Captain has left Skyrest Bridge for Manse of the Hallowed Brothers, and intends to take matters into his own hands.

Pieta

pieta 1 npc lords of the fallen wiki guide 300px min

Defeat Pieta, She of Blessed Renewal.
Meet Pieta again at Skyrest Bridge.
She will offer to empower your Sanguinarix in exchange for Saintly Quintessences.
Use Soulflay on Pieta if attempting the Umbral Ending.
Fight Pieta's true form.

After defeating Pieta, She of Blessed Renewal, a remnant of her can be seen when you interact with the Umbral Realm in front of the gate at the Skyrest Bridge. In that memory, Pieta was seen casting a Radiant Healing Spell on those she calls brothers and sisters in the hopes of easing their suffering. After that, go through the passage on the left side that will take you to the place where you will meet a bunch of other NPCs.

As you head inside the building, you will be met by Exacter Dunmire who welcomes you in. In the Main Area of the Skyrest Bridge, you will find Pieta who is alive and well. When you speak to her, she will be delighted in knowing that you're a divine instrument sent by Orius to deliver her death and rebirth, which resulted in her getting clarity. At this point, she will tell you the story of how Orius sustains her, and her wishes to lend that power to you.

The blood flowing in Pieta's veins is so powerful that its contents can bring healing to those who drink it. She will also ask you to bring her any of the Saintly Quintessences you can find so that she can further bolster the power within the Sanguinarix you carry. Upgrading your Sanguinarix will result in getting more charges as well as the efficacy of each Sanguinarix charge. This will help you in the mission of cleansing beacons, restoring the Hallowed Sentinels, and eradicating Adyr's malignancies. These are the missions that Pieta speaks of and she will lend her power to you, every step of the way, all in service of Orius.

When you speak to Pieta in the Hub at Skyrest Bridge, she will tell you how The Descriers of the Dawn were misguided, and that they foster misinterpretations of Orius' divine will and works. She goes on to continue that many of the nobles in Mournstead that are entombed beneath the crypt followed their teachings, and held beliefs that it was Orius' power that maintained the structure and not the integrity of the stonework. This shows how much Pieta is a follower of Orius, as displayed by this monologue.

During your 3rd encounter, Pieta speaks of how sacred texts depict Saint Latimer, a noble knight and a devout follower of Our Lady, who was canonized after he sacrificed himself to show the Hallowed Sentinels what was necessary for the greater good. She shares that many have given their lives to sustain the beacons, but Latimer was the first one to do so and remains one of their most venerated figures.

On your 4th encounter with Pieta, you will still find her in the same location at Skyrest Bridge. She tells you that she too, has a conscience and she understands the instinct to pity the boy found at the base of the mine, and the desire to condemn the Hallowed Sentinels for such an act. However, she reminds you not to be hasty- that the bond between the boy and the Umbral realm is indissoluble, and that he plays a vital role in safeguarding Mournstead.

If you have the Odd Stone, hand it over to Pieta. She will examine it and tell you that it looks different, and yet, somehow, she recognizes it. She tells a story from her childhood, back in the orphanage when she was still young and before the Hallowed Sentinels found her. She met a kind woman named Iris who helped her overcome her fears of being alone. She tells you that she lost the stone a long time ago, and yet it found her again after all these years. In our playthrough, we gave 3 Odd Stones to Pieta, but we didn't notice any immediate changes.

When you meet her again, Pieta will tell you that the abbey is the only other home that she ever knew, aside from the orphanage she grew up in. She feels the pain of seeing what it had become, but it pains her even more to see her afflicted brothers and sisters who roam its halls and courts. Although Pieta says, that she takes comfort in knowing that salvation is near for all, except those who started the corruption.

Pieta's Role in Endings in Lords of the Fallen

Players can unlock Pieta's True form by following the Umbral Ending guide. This fight is accessible when you're aiming to get the Umbral Ending in Lords of the Fallen. This can be achieved after killing off certain NPCs and eventually interacting with Pieta and revealing the truth about what empowers her, and her healing abilities.

To do this, players will return to Skyrest Bridge, and use Soulflay on Pieta. This will cause Pieta to unleash her true form and become one of the most powerful Bosses in Lords of the Fallen. Pieta has dedicated her life to Orius and because she served a cause she deemed greater than herself and giving life, she didn't realize that she was acting in defiance of her own parasitic nature.

This fight will take place at Mother's Lull in Revelation Depths.

Sparky

Explore Pilgrim's Perch and find Gerlinde and Sparky locked up in one of the cells.
Retrieve the x1 Prison Cell Key from the nearby enemy.
Give the key to Gerlinde.
Rest at a Vestige and return to Skyrest Bridge.
Gerlinde will now set up her shop at the Hub, together with Sparky.
She will ask you to recover 3 tablets.
Sparky will intervene.
Cracked Rune Tablet will unlock rune options.
Chipped Rune Tablet will unlock advanced rune options.
Give the Rune Tablet to Sparky to free him from Gerlinde and he will reward you with the ability to perform runesmithing at Vestiges.
Gerlinde will double her prices.

How to Free the Blacksmith and Sparky from their cell

As you approach the cell, she will complain about the sentinels, their bells, how they insult her skills, and that they have made a slave of her. Then, "Sparky" will speak out of nowhere and say: "You made a slave of me" whereas Gerlinde will respond by saying "You don't count." After exhausting her dialogues, she will tell you to hand over "that" key. Then, you will get an option to hand over the Prison Cell Key (the one you looted from the Pilgrim), or do nothing. A blacksmith would serve you well so you must free Gerlinde, together with "Sparky" by handing over the Prison Cell key. After that, you can now return to Skyrest Bridge where Gerlinde will set up shop and take Sparky with her.

Once you have made your way to the shop, she will ask for your help to retrieve some items, or tablets created by Sparky. An odd duo, it appears that Sparky has been enslaved by Gerlinde and is wearing manacles that keep them from fighting back. As Gerlinde talks about Sparky, they will try to speak up and say "My name is not-" and then they will get cut off by Gerlinde again, dismissing them from further talking.

According to Gerlinde, Sparky possesses valuable knowledge in runesmithing that he refuses to share, hence, why Gerlinde enslaved them. Sparky carved all of their knowledge in crystal tablets and are scattered. Gerlinde insists that if you help her retrieve those, she can help you in runesmithing. Sparky makes a stand and will not tell you the locations of the tablets, even upon death, according to them.

Sparky's Scattered Tablets

As previously mentioned by Gerlinde, Sparky possesses valuable knowledge in runesmithing. All of these were carved into tablets and kept secret from Gerlinde. The Blacksmith will ask you to recover the following items in exchange for giving service that can give you stronger upgrades and increased Inventory:

Cracked Rune Tablet - Found inside Fitzroy's Gorge. This will unlock rune options.
Chipped Rune Tablet - Found in a house in Upper Calrath leading to Sunless Skein. This will unlock further rune options.
Rune Tablet - Found in a chest inside the Tower of Penance.

When you hand over the Cracked Rune Tablet to Gerlinde, Sparky will say that despite her skills, she is still selfish and avaricious. He shares the story of how she managed to create manacles that bound him to Gerlinde when he was weak and injured. It turns out, Sparky has lived eons before he was captured by Gerlinde and came ever so close to death that one time. When he was restored to health, he became Gerlinde's slave. He tells you that he only wants to taste freedom once again.

After giving the second tablet to Gerlinde, Sparky will ask that you deliver the final tablet to him. He tries to tell you that Gerlinde's callous hands and heart will only bring misery with the power of the runes. However, Gerlinde interrupts him and dismisses him from speaking once more. Gerlinde further shares that his life is bound to Gerlinde, that if ever she dies, Sparky will die with her.

If you decide to give the tablet to Gerlinde, Sparky will disappear from your world forever after resting at a Vestige or traveling outside of Skyrest Bridge. Gerlinde will also start selling Crafter's Essence.

After some time, we aren't exactly sure what triggered the movement of Stomund, Captain of the Fidelis, but he left his station in Skyrest Bridge a little bit after we explored parts of Upper Calrath, and after defeating Spurned Progeny. When we returned to Skyrest Bridge, instead of Stomund standing next to the doorway, we found a note had been left for the Deathless One.

This note is addressed to the Deathless One indicating that he is moving to a "bell door in Pilgrim's Perch." Take note that Stomund will also leave additional items like Map of Belled Rise and Pilgrim's Perch Key if not previously bought. Then, if you talk to Eustace and Nathaniel, the members of the Fidelis in Skyrest Bridge, they'll tell you that he's left for the Manse

Your next encounter with Stomund, Captain of the Fidelis will take place in the Manse of the Hallowed Brothers. He is seen overlooking the Abbey of the Hallowed Sisters from a small garden. He tells you that he is hesitating to trespass because of the orders of the old world, however, he shares with you that the Immaculate Lady awaits him, forcing him to do so. He goes on to tell you that he needs to speak with Judge Cleric and seeks an audience with her so she will know what has become of the Hallowed Sentinels.

After exhausting his dialogues, check the additional items that are now available in his Merchant inventory.

Once you get inside the Abbey of the Hallowed Sisters, you will encounter Stomund once again inside the building. He is located on the upper floor near a large tree. When you meet him, he will ask you to bring 2 pieces of an ancient banner. The Damaged Standard is found inside a locked cell in the underground cellar of the Manse, while the Tattered Banner is a drop from the Abbess that attacks the player in a small tower in the Abbe

When you get the two items, bring them back to Stomund. After a while, once you reach The Empyrean, Stomund will disappear from your world. His lifeless body is found on the steps to the Monastery in The Empyrean, impaled upon the restored Banner of Our Immaculate Lady. You can obtain the following items:

The Iron Wayfarer

the ironwayfarer 1 npc lords of the fallen wiki guide 300px min

Meet The Iron Wayfarer at the Abandoned Redcopse.
Find him at the crypt and receive x1 Vestige Seed.
Meet him again at Lower Calrath.
Follow his trail and interact with the Stigmas revealing The Iron Wayfarer's past.
Fight Rapturous Huntress of the Dusk with The Iron Wayfarer.
He will steal the Rune of Adyr from himself.
Fight The Iron Wayfarer at the gates of Bramis Castle.

You will first meet The Iron Wayfarer at the Abandoned Redcopse where he is seen standing next to the Vestige of Hannelore. He will give you a warning about using the Lamp as you see fit and should you take his warning lightly, you'll find that it's the other way around. After this meeting, you will find The Iron Wayfarer again at the cave in Redcopse Windmill. If you approach him here, he will tell you that history is bound to repeat itself over and over again, for as long as you are carrying the lamp with you. He hands over a Vestige Seed, which he suggests using if you don't want to keep walking in the same ground repeatedly.

The Vestige Seed is an item that can be used on a Umbral Flowerbed to create a temporary Vestige. This will also serve as a spawn point in case you die in the Umbral realm. A flowerbed can be identified by flowers laid out on the ground as well as accompanied by a ringing sound and a unique light emitting from the Umbral Lamp. If you want to use the Vestige Seed, simply walk on top of the Umbral Flowerbed, take out your Umbral Lamp by pressing the Down Button, raise it using L2, and then hold the Triangle Button to grow out the Vestige Seedling. Just like other Vestiges, a temporary Vestige can be warped or teleported.

Upon reaching Lower Calrath, you will find The Iron Wayfarer standing on the right side of the main street. He tells you that he has heard that things have gotten bad in Mournstead, but he did not expect the chaos that it is today. He blames all of this on the presence of Adyr's rune and he will remind you once again that the lamp you carry is a burden, despite the boons that it brings. At this point, he gives you another advice that you alone should be the one to carry your burden (the Umbral Lamp), and never look to someone else to help you. This is the end of your interaction with The Iron Wayfarer for now.

You will encounter The Iron Wayfarer again at the end of the stairs in Lower Calrath. You find him talking to himself saying "No, this is wrong", as if he's seeing remnants that he finds unbelievable. He talks as if speaking to himself that he had to fight his way out of Mournstead... and that the vision is wrong, according to him. His last sentence is him declaring: "I'm not a monster." There is a nearby stigma here that will show you the same remnants in the Umbral Realm that The Iron Wayfarer is seeing. It turns out that he butchered civilians and left a bloody carnage in his trail.

As you explore the streets of Upper Calrath, The Iron Wayfarer moves once again to the interior of this path where there are 2 lit braziers on each side of the doorway. We noticed that he moved into this area after the second beacon was cleansed in Upper Calrath. There's a stigma in front of The Iron Wayfarer, and upon interacting with it, the remnants show the figure of The Iron Wayfarer handing over the Rune of Adyr to another. If you talk to The Iron Wayfarer, he will give context to the remnants that you are seeing.

It turns out that The Iron Wayfarer has decided to give the Rune of Adyr to Judge Cleric, and he said that it was this decision that he damned the entire kingdom for generations to come. The Iron Wayfarer explains that he was tired, was never a man of faith, and thought it was best to entrust the rune to a judge. The Iron Wayfarer thought that Judge Cleric would be able to destroy the rune or prevent the catastrophe it had brought from happening. The Iron Wayfarer still blames himself for that one decision, wherein he looked to somebody else to carry their burden.

Once you reach the Vestige of Ferrers the Charred, rest at the Vestige and The Iron Wayfarer will move Locations once again. You will find him at the edge of the cliff next to the Vestige, overlooking the land before him. He tells you that the Rune of Adyr is close and he intends on taking it back. He claims that the rune is his, and his temperament has changed since your last interaction. After what he has seen, it seems that he has come to the conclusion that there's no salvation or redemption for anyone in Mournstead. He went from wanting to save the kingdom to wanting Mournstead to burn and every life in it.

As you get closer to the Rune of Adyr, The Iron Wayfarer stands close by. In the Abbey of the Lucent Sisters, the Rune of Adyr is held on display. Once you interact with it, a cutscene will play where the Rapturous Huntress of the Dusk drops from the ceiling. Then, a dark figure emerges from the back, dividing the attention of the Boss. The Iron Wayfarer has been in search of the Rune of Adyr and he has kept true to his word. He will fight the Rapturous Huntress of the Dusk with you, and upon defeat, he will claim the Rune of Adyr, He will give you another piece of advice, "Just remember, in the end, you're better off alone." Then, he goes missing together with the Rune of Adyr.

NOTE: The Iron Wayfarer will only help you out in this fight if you follow all the steps that we have indicated above.

After The Iron Wayfarer steals the Rune of Adyr, you will encounter him again at the gates of Bramis Castle and become a secondary Boss. When defeated, the Iron Wayfarer drops the following items:

After defeating The Iron Wayfarer, he can be found in the Fief of the Chill Curse on a snowy ledge overlooking the valley where the beacon tower lies. He can only be seen in the Umbral Realm.

The Iron Wayfarer's Role in Endings in Lords of the Fallen

Look for The Iron Wayfarer in Fief of the Chill Curse. He will be there after you've defeated him in Bramis Castle as part of his quest.
Interact with him with the Withered Rune of Adyr in the inventory. This will kill him and grant Harkyn's Umbral Parasite.
Insert Harkyn's Umbral Parasite in the column inside Skyrest Bridge which has an open slot.

Refer to the Endings page for the full guide on how to get the Umbral Ending.

Thehk-Ihir

Meet Thehk-Ihir on the scaffolding leading to Pilgrim's Perch.
This NPC moves to the fields as you enter the Forsaken Fen near Vestige of Olleren
This NPC moves to a new location after cleansing the first beacon in Forsaken Fen, near the Vestige of the Pale Butcher
This NPC moves again to Fief of the Chill Curse, next to the Vestige of Loash
This NPC moves again to Path of Devotion, found next to the Vestige of Dieter
This NPC moves again to Manse of the Hallowed Brothers, next to the Vestige of Brother Jeremiah.
This NPC moves again to the Abbey of the Hallowed Sisters, next to the Vestige of Rosamund.
Heed his advice and purchase all the items you need from him.
Thehk-Ihir will disappear and leave behind his items at The Empyrean.

As you walk the scaffolding past Andreas of Ebb, you will meet a Pilgrim by the name of Thehk-Ihir. Initially, they will warn you about Pilgrim's Perch and they will tell you about how they were rejected by the Hallowed Sentinels, despite being a faithful pilgrim. It seems that this man has come from a faraway place called Perdam, and they said that they had given away most of their belongings when they left for Pilgrim's Perch. Without a place to return to, Thehk-Ihir has taken refuge on this scaffolding and built a settlement for himself on the scaffolding.

As you exhaust the dialogues of Thehk-Ihir, they will give you a 1x Stick Weapon without asking for anything in return. It seems that they wish you well as you head towards Pilgrim's Perch while being cautious of the dangers lurking about.

Thehk-Ihir as a Traveling Merchant in Lords of the Fallen

After meeting Thehk-Ihir along the scaffolding as you approach Pilgrim's Perch, you will meet this man once again as you enter the fields of Forsaken Fen. He informs you that he has "perked up" ever since your meeting and has found a new purpose for himself, he has decided to start selling discarded items that he found and will offer to sell to you as you interact with him. He also mentioned that he will be a traveling merchant, so we expect to see more of Thehk-Ihir as we travel.

It is still unclear whether there's a specific event that will cause him to move places, but during our playthrough, we interacted with him just outside the Skyrest Bridge and found him once again at Forsaken Fen near the Vestige of Olleren. After this meeting, this will trigger Thehk-Ihir's NPC quest. He will then move a total of 5 times from their initial location:

This NPC moves to the fields as you enter the Forsaken Fen near Vestige of Olleren
This NPC moves to a new location after cleansing the first beacon in Forsaken Fen, near the Vestige of the Pale Butcher
This NPC moves to the interior of Skyrest Bridge, near the Vestige of Ethyg
This NPC moves again to Fief of the Chill Curse, next to the Vestige of Loash
This NPC moves again to Path of Devotion, found next to the Vestige of Dieter
This NPC moves again to Manse of the Hallowed Brothers, next to the Vestige of Brother Jeremiah.
This NPC moves again to the Abbey of the Hallowed Sisters, next to the Vestige of Rosamund.

Each time you visit Thehk-Ihir, this will result in lowering the health pool of the Abbesses found in the Abbey and Empyrean, as if going on a pilgrimage with Thehk-Ihir. When you find him once again in the Abbey of the Hallowed Sisters, he tells you the story of how the place was transformed by Judge Cleric after declaring it as the new home of the Hallowed Sentinels and therefore sanctifying the place.

He will tell you that if you have something that you've been eyeing on his items, he suggests buying it now because you will never know what life may throw at you. Heed his advice to take the opportunity to purchase anything you want from his inventory, as he will disappear forever.

When you reach this location, Thehk-Ihir will now disappear and he will drop the following items on the upper floor of the Monastery at the Empyrean, overlooking the Cleric's arena:

Tortured Prisoner

the tortured prisoner 1 npc lords of the fallen wiki guide 300px min

Meet Nathaniel outside one of the alcoves in the sleeping quarters in Skyrest Bridge.
When Stomund leaves for the manse, he informs you about this.

As you explore the crypt inside the Skyrest Bridge, you will find the Tortured Prisoner locked inside one of the cells. There isn't much dialogue here because she appears unable to speak, and there's a contraption wrapped over their head. To free the Tortured Prisoner, you will need to solve a puzzle in the Umbral Realm, which also involves destroying Umbral tumors. To get inside the crypt, you will first need the Skyrest Bridge key. Please refer to the Locations page for a more detailed guide.

Free The Tortured Prisoner

To free the Tortured Prisoner in Lords of the Fallen, you need to cross over the Umbral Realm. Then, explore the crypt until you find the Mausoleum suspended bridge. From the Tortured Prisoner's cell, use the spiral stairs until you reach the ground level. As soon as you exit the archway, cross over the Umbral Realm if you haven't, then look at the top right of the wall. You will see the first Umbral tumor here, then destroy it.

If you follow the movement of the light, you will see that it will go to an entity on the left section of the wall. Ignore this for now, and keep looking for the other 2 Umbral tumors. The second umbral tumor is located at the left wall beneath the bridge. As you destroy the second tumor, a stone platform will move toward you. Jump down on the platform then look behind you to find the third tumor. Destroy it, then use the tumor on the other end to get out of the floating platform using the ladder. Climb up to the right side of the wall where the light was seen traveling. Destroy it once again and pick up the 1x Searing Accusation.

Bring the item back to the Tortured Prisoner where you found them. She will respond to you in the same manner of muffled sounds. After that, return to the Main Hall of the Skyrest Bridge and rest in the nearest Vestige. Go back to the Tortured Prisoner's cell and you will find that it was already unlocked and you can pick up 1x Tortured Prisoner's Head Cage.

After freeing the Tortured Prisoner, they now become available as a co-op summon during boss fights.

The Tortured Prisoner Becomes a Merchant Outside of Skyrest Bridge

After freeing the Tortured Prisoner from her locked cell, you will find her at the top of the Skyrest Bridge, outside the Hub. This location is near the arena where you fought Pieta, She of Blessed Renewal, and also close to the fallen giant. When you approach her here, she greets you as the "deathless one." She speaks as if you were behind bars and not her, and tells you that she was glad that you were able to free yourself. It appears that the Tortured Prisoner has lost her mind, after all the time she endured in the cell.

As you exhaust her dialogues, she will reward you with a 1x Calrath's Noble Bow Gesture, and the last thing she tells you before you can check her items for sale, she will ask you to inform her of the whereabouts of her family.

A Tortured Prisoner and a Noblewoman

To progress the quest of the Tortured Prisoner, you need to give her the Giant Eyeball that is acquired after defeating the Spurned Progeny. Then, retrieve the Noblewoman Set in the marketplace at Upper Calrath. Equip the full set and return to the Tortured Prisoner at the arena of the Spurned Progeny. After this encounter, she will move to the Upper Calrath near the second beacon. Find her in her new location and she will give you 1x Elegant Perfume as a reward. Keep this item as this will prove valuable later on.

As you progress the story of the game, when you are able to reach the area where you open the gates to Bramis Castle, look for the Charred Letter on the stairs that lead from the lower ward to the upper esplanade where the Vestige of the Bloody Pilgrim is. Take the item back to the Tortured Prisoner and this will make her move to the Bramis Castle next to the nearby Vestige.

Now that the Tortured Prisoner has moved to Bramis Castle, your next goal is to bring the Swaddling Cloth that is found in the bedroom with the large crystal that broke through the interior wall.

NOTE: Fighting The Sundered Monarch before bringing the Swaddling Cloth to the Tortured Prisoner will cause her to become hostile. Otherwise, make use of the Elegant Perfume that she had given you before against the Sundered Monarch.

The Elegant Perfume is a powerful item that can cause the Sundered Monarch to be stunned briefly. After emerging victorious from the fight against the Sundered Monarch, look for Queen Sophesia in the Throne Room to receive Queen Sophesia's Ring, and then retrieve Queen Sophesia's Catalyst in her previous position. After your conversation with her, she takes her final breath.

Winterberry

winterberry npc lords of the fallen wiki guide 300px min

Meet Byron at Pilgrim's Perch.
Byron will formally introduce himself at Forsaken Fen.
Byron is enraged upon finding out that Catrin's Pendant is missing in Sunless Skein.
Get x1 Bemoaning Gesture.
Find The Missing Pendant and meet Winterberry.
Get x1 Celebration Gesture.
Unite Winterberry and Byron.
Byron and Winterberry will move inside the Hub at Skyrest Bridge.
Find out about Byron's plans and exhaust his dialogues.
Byron's Set and Byron's Shovel can now be purchased from Winterberry's shop.
Winterberry will keep Catrin's Pendant.

As you make your way cleansing beacons and fighting the Rhogar in Mournstead, 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 the Hallowed Sentinels 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 Catrin's Pendant. This conversation with Byron will give you x1 Bemoaning Gesture.

NOTE: Don't use the elevator after defeating the Skinstealer. If you return to 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.

When you encounter the Merchant, you will discover that she has Catrin's Pendant, but the item 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 Hub at Skyrest Bridge, and Winterberry will become available as a Merchant again.

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 x1 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 x1 Byron's Shovel to be available for purchase in Winterberry's expanded inventory.

If you tell Byron the truth, he will disappear from the world forever and he will leave 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.

  Following this game progress route definitely locks you out of byron and winterberrys quest. Revelation depths should come before upper calrath B, not after. major L.

  Stomund, Captain of the Fidelis, tried this time by not going to the pilgrim's perch closed door area, aka prolouge of manse. And he left his note only after completing the questline of byron, aka I have not gone to through that door in the bellroom, everything else done up to Bramis castle gate, except not fought the boss near the bramis castle gate, did the entirety of the underground area of cistern, also have not touched the fief area.
  Also Drustan does not skip to Fief area by opening the Fief gate in Windmill area, he was still in his first encounter area.

  The Empyrean Progress doesn’t even mention Stomund who is found impaled here. You get a Faithful Trophy here and his items.

  To the developers.. and anyone reading this please give me a like... It would be nice if there was a way to switch from catalyst to throwables without having to open the menu and then click through the options to pick the hand or the catalyst... There's a lot of times that you want to switch between throwables and spells but you have to literally open up the menu and scroll through if there was some way to quick switch this would be a big big big quality of life help

  Revelation Depths
  There is an Enhanced Foresaken Grenade on a narrow wooden ledge, just to the left of the small altar next to the fireplace and opposite where you can get Lost Berescu’s Catalyst.

  Upper Calrath B
  
  The Tortured Prisoner is behind the metal railings on the left of the entrance to the Beacon, just past the Infernal Enchantress. She’s quite easy to miss.

  These guides are invaluable. In Fitzroy’s Gorge walkthrough, it does not mention any interaction with Damarose near the Shrine of Adyr. I missed most interactions with her on my first playthrough, but she was here on the second playthrough as I spoke to her near Scourged Sister boss fight, then again near the Mistress of the Hounds fight, and again at the start of Fitzroy’s Gorge. She then asks you to retrieve an item from Revelation Depths.

  In my opinion, Revelation Depths should come BEFORE Fief of the Chill Curse.
  Why?
  Because Dervla (boss in Revelation Depths) offers great frost-resistant gear that lends itself perfectly to Fief of the Chill Curse.
