The Official Lords of the Fallen Wiki Guide


You begin the game by getting jumped by a slumbering Marauder, such fun! The game will take you step-by-step through the fight (unless you are on new game plus) so it shouldn't be too difficult.

This entire zone serves as a tutorial, so make sure to follow it if this is your first time. After you kill the creature, walk up the stairs and speak with Kaslo. You will find out the door is locked and you must go look for a key.

Finding A Key[edit]

Go back downstairs and turn right to see a small doorway that you can enter. Do so, and you will be met with your first basic enemy, called an Infected. As the game tells you, they are blind, so sneaking up on them is quite easy. If alerted, Infected will swing wildly at you, doing a rather large amount of damage if you aren't careful. Thankfully the Infected are easily stunned by blocking, after which a few basic attacks should take them down.

Although the game suggests stealth, we always suggest killing enemies as you will get more experience that way. Once dead, continue through the hallways and you will come across more of these creatures, always check your corners! Enemies are fond of hiding next to doorways and around corners and will gladly jump you if you don't pay attention! If you head down the stairs you will enter a room with a few more Infected, and when you come back up, walk past the doorway to find an audio tape.

Go back and enter the doorway. Head down the stairs to the right to find a few more Infected and some items, along with the key you need. Success! There is also a gate blocking this doorway that you can't open. Go back up the stairs and carry on through the area to find a black crystal. These are portals to Infinite Void treasure zones, although they are often filled with tough enemies and only unlock after killing bosses or other tough creatures.

At the top of these stairs is another Marauder like you fought in the beginning of the game. The easiest way of dealing with him is to constantly strafe to your left around him, taking a swing or two between each of his attacks. Deal with him quickly then walk up the stairs, at the top you will find an item. Jump down then go to the door and open it. A scene will play out and you will encounter your first boss fight.

First Warden[edit]

MISSABLE ACHIEVEMENT/TROPHY ALERT!: If you are playing on New Game Plus, equip the Persistence greatsword and finish the Boss with it to unlock the "Do Unto Others..." achievement/trophy.

Being your first boss, this guy isn't very tough. He has a large shield that will block your basic attacks, so you need to wait for an opening. He has several attacks that leave him exposed for a brief second, but the best one to capitalize on is his downward power swing.

He will smash his sword into the ground, leaving himself open for 3-4 seconds. This is your time to hit him. Make sure to step away after he recovers though, as he can turn around and quickly do a sword swing right in your face. If you see him charging at you with his shield raised DO NOT BLOCK!! He will swing the shield at you, knocking your character down regardless of the amount of energy you have remaining. The most effective tactic to avoid this is to roll to your left just as he is about to swing the shield to get your character out of his way.

After taking enough damage (about a quarter of the bar each time) he will remove a piece of armor. He will do this several times throughout the fight, but nothing will change the first three times he does with his combos remaining the same. Eventually he will remove his shield and will gain one new attack, where he spins his sword around himself while twirling towards you. This attack lasts several seconds, so just keep running away until he finishes. Once it does, just wait it out until he uses the downward swing, then attack! Continue this pattern and eventually the first Lord will fall.

The Hunt For Kaslo[edit]

Now that the boss is dead you can level up for the first time. Remember, that the longer you go between touching a crystal, the more experience you get thanks to the multiplier that builds up, adding 0.01 to the multiplier for each kill until it reaches the x2.00 limit. 

Anyways, now that the boss is dead, you can proceed onwards. Before you go though, head back to that black crystal you found earlier. It will now be open and you can enter it to obtain some items. When you are ready to proceed with the story, go back to where you fought the boss and exit through the side door that leads to the Nothern Wing.

As you start going through here, keep an eye out for chests. They sometimes blend in with the backround. The first is up top here. Don't go down the stairs and instead go behind the torch to find a chest.

Once you have it, start walking down the stairs. There is a door at the bottom, go through and you can find some more items, and enemies. Once you get the items, exit the room and you need to continue down the stairs. If you look left you can see an item by the statues feet. You can run and jump to get this, which ends up being a Northern Monastery Wing Door Key. At the bottom of the stairs you will find two enemies and a chest. Kill them, take the loot, then exit through the door.
