The Paladin's Request is a Quest in Lords of the Fallen (LotF). The Paladin's Request will unlock a special Dark Crusader class when completed and it begins by locating a piece of item that describes the fate of the previous Dark Crusader that had fallen before you. Players can complete various tasks such as Quests, which are the different missions or requests that players are given in the game. Quests can be acquired by progressing the game's story which triggers events or conditions, or by interacting with NPCs and accepting their requests.

Some Quests are accessible only in the Umbral Realm in certain Locations and require the player to cross over. For more in-depth information about the Locations in Lords of the Fallen, visit our page here.

The Paladin's Request Quest Walkthrough

Paladin Isaac's quest can be started early on during the game's tutorial location in Defiled Sepulchre. From the Vestige of Ranik, run down the hill and turn right after the arena where you fought the Lightreaper. Walk towards the edge and pick up the x1 Flayed Skin. This will initiate the quest and make sure to peer into the Umbral Realm where you see a broken bridge that is inaccessible at the moment. This quest will involve a long series of uncovering Stigmas that will tell the tale of Isaac, the fallen lampbearer before you, and earn the Paladin Set.

Interact by soulflaying the following Stigmas on these Locations (Guide below):

• Lower Calrath
• Fief of the Chill Curse
• After the Lightreaper's Arena in Fief of the Chill Curse
• Path of Devotion

These locations are part of the storyline and they are unmissable. When you view the last stigma, players will get access to a new arena in Path of Devotion, that can only be traveled to while in the Umbral Realm. To begin, the first Stigma is near the burning city accessible after exploring Fitzroy's Gorge. From the Vestige of Sebastian, walk down the stairs and turn right where you see a broken bridge. Cross over the Umbral Realm and walk over the bone bridge to access the first Stigma on the other side. You will get the Wooden Dark Crusader Cross.

The second and third Stigmas are found in Fief of the Chill Curse. You will need to obtain the Fief Key to unlock the door to this area and you can do this by progressing the NPC questline of  Andreas of Ebb. This stigma is located right next to the Vestige of Svornil where it shows the Dark Crusader praying. After defeating the boss in this area, which is The Hollow Crow, you can now get access to the third stigma and this area is also conveniently near the Vestige of Loash. Exit the arena where you see a lit torch by the archway then jump down the ladder. Scale the edge of the narrow platform to your left and then jump down the ladder again at the end of the path. Once you are outside and see a broken wooden bridge, cross to the Umbral Realm and walk up the hill. The third Stigma is found on the right section of the riverbed.

Then, the last Stigma required to unlock the Dark Crusader class and the Paladin Set can be found in Path of Devotion. You can access this area by using the Pilgrim's Perch Key that can be bought from Stomund. From the Vestige of Blind Agatha, you will need to make your way through the caves until you get to the door and unlock it using the key to gain entry to Path of Devotion. Once inside, begin from the Vestige of Dieter, and follow the rooted and muddy path to the left until you see a cliff that overlooks the land. Then, you will notice moths that are gathered near the edge. Cross over the Umbral Realm and soulflay the final stigma here.

Finally, after soulflaying all of the required Stigma, you will now gain access to an arena where you will fight Paladin's Burden boss. Head down the path where you will encounter a number of enemies. It is up to you if you wanna run down and escape these enemies but make sure to kill the archer as they are free to shoot you while you're fighting down in the arena. After that, cross over to the Umbral Realm and go to the left side where you see a bone bridge. Soulflay the tumor to extend the bridge and this will give you access to the arena that you just unlocked. In the middle of the arena, soulflay the Stigma and instead of the usual remnants, you will be fighting the boss. Progress this quest by defeating the Paladin's Burden and you will acquire the following items:

• x1 Umbral-Tinged Flayed Skin
• x8 Umbral Scouring
• x1 Vestige Seed

 With the Umbral-Tinged Flayed Skin, return to the area where you picked up the Flayed Skin, just past the Vestige of Ranik. Using the item that you just got from defeating the Paladin's Burden, you can now loot the Paladin Set including the following items:

• x1 Paladin Isaac's Sword
• Paladin Gauntlets
• Paladin Armour
• Paladin Helm
• Paladin Leggings

To complete this quest, the final step is to summon Paladin Isaac as an ally and defeat The Lightreaper together. Doing this will unlock the Dark Crusader class that you can use for your NG+ as well as additional items for the class:

• Paladin's Pendant
• Radiantburst Parchment

NOTE: If you happened to have defeated the Lightreaper and failed to summon Paladin Isaac before the fight, you will lose your chance to unlock this special class. You will have to try it again in a new playthrough, on a new character, or NG+. This is also the case if you have started the Lightreaper Boss fight but haven't defeated him, so be sure to follow the Quest steps and defeat Paladin Isaac before entering the Lightreaper's Boss Arena or he will no longer show up as a Summon.

If the Lightreaper is not showing up in the arena, it is possible that you missed the Umbral Tumor that is blocking off the fight. You can trigger the fight against the Lightreaper by destroying the Umbral Tumor in one of the pillars on the second level balcony within the arena, if the Lightreaper is not showing up. You can access this area by walking along the catwalk.
