Umbral Lamp | Lords of the Fallen Wiki

Illuminating the Umbral in Lords of the FAllen

While holding the lantern up you can show the same section you are illuminating in Axiom but in Umbral, allowing you to make use of the death realm's layout to overcome certain obstacles. Some enemies may also interact with you from this realm forcing you to find them with the lamp to defeat them. White moths will indicate points of interest worth illuminating.

How to Travel between Worlds in Lords of the Fallen

To fully travel between realms you can expend a charge of the Umbral Lamp, but there's a catch, to come back you will have to find or create a Vestige.

Soulflaying in Lords of the Fallen

When fighting the different Enemies in Mournstead you may use Soulflay on them, if they can be affected by the ability you will see their soul leaving their bodies and be able to attack said soul. This will deal wither damage and give you the opportunity to, if fully withered, tear the soul of Enemies and Bosses. Soulflaying consumes a Soulflay Charge, to recharge it you will have to drain Umbral Enemies and Blisters.

Location Obstacles in Lords of the Fallen

When traveling through the Umbral you will find certain objects in the terrain that can be soulflayed by your Umbral Lamp. You can find things such as bridges that can be activated through a lost soul or items unique to this realm that can only be obtained in this way. Some pathways in the Axiom will need a quick travel to the death realm to continue exploring, and there are puzzles that require the traversal between planes.

Umbral Lamp Upgrade Benefits

Like the Sanguinarix, the Umbral grows and receives additional features after upgrading it. Such as having more Eyes that players can socket to, or even increasing its Soulflay Charges. As well as improve status resistance from Dread. Upgrading the Umbral Lamp is one of the things that players should prioritize as it can be a wondrous tool that is beneficial in many aspects. Players, on the other hand, need Antediluvian Chisel for them to upgrade the Umbral Lamp. 

Where to upgrade your Umbral Lamp

Players have to interact with Molhu in Skyrest Bridge in order to be able to upgrade the Umbral Lamp. 

Umbral Lamp Upgrades

To advance the Umbral Lamp to a higher level, you'll require an Antediluvian Chisel for every level of ascent you wish to achieve.

Level	Upgrades	Requirements
+0 (Base level)	Main Umbral Eye Socket 1 Soulflay Charge	-
+1	Main Umbral Eye Socket 2 Soulflay Charges 1 secondary Umbral Eye Socket 10% Dread Resistance	Antediluvian Chisel x1
+2	Main Umbral Eye Socket 3 Soulflay Charges 1 secondary Umbral Eye Socket 20% Dread Resistance	Antediluvian Chisel x1
+3	Main Umbral Eye Socket 3 Soulflay Charges 2 secondary Umbral Eye Socket 30% Dread Resistance	Antediluvian Chisel x1

Taking Advantage of Soulflay Charges

One of the reasons why players need to upgrade their Umbral Lamp is to increase the number of Soulflay Charges. A Soulflay is a feature in combat wherein the Umbral Lamp will siphon the soul of the enemy out from its mortal coil. While the soul is exposed, players can then deal damage to it, resulting in immense damage overall to the target. Use the Soulflay to overcome challenging foes and anyone will find it a good strategy to exploit.

Where to Acquire Antediluvian Chisel on LotF?

It is expected that the Antediluvian Chisel is a rare material scattered across the realm. Players can get it as general loot from secret areas, hidden treasure chests, and drops from elite and major bosses.

Socketing Umbral Eyes

Each Umbral Eye has a different effect, depending on what socket you will slot it into. This feature adds another layer of possible augments to your character build. Players can take advantage of a wide variety of added effects that Umbral Eyes provides. As usual, it is expected that Umbral Eyes can be obtained as drops from enemies or rare loot in the realm.
