Lords of the Fallen - COMPLETE Beginner Guide

I’m a couple of months late on this game and I haven’t played a soul game since soul reaver…great break down, thank you

Enjoying the game but I've been stuck on that damned horse riding swamp boss, he can go right to hell lol.

thanks! very informative without spoiling!

to unlock runes you need to give the blacksmith the cracked, chipped and rune tablets to unlock upto 3 rune slots on the weapon. You must upgrade the weapon to +1 to unlock the first rune slot and i think +4/5 and +9 for the second and 3rd rune slots. You wont know which shape rune socket your weapon has until you upgrade it (or check some wiki or walkthrough guide that lists it). The upside triangle is agility rune, a circle is strength, diamond is radiance and star shape is inferno. Theres also a "meta" socket on some items and this will take any rune. Also you cant use the boss rememberances until you give the npc (molhu) the bowl of rememberance (i think its called) found in pilgrims perch between the "sanctuary" and "bell room" vestiges. Theres an npc (stomund) sells a key "pilgrims perch key" as of latest patch the cost doubled from 9000 to 18000 souls, this is definitely worth having asap as it unlocks 2 doors, 1 with a chest containing an armour set and another nxt to the backsmiths prison cell that hides a really powerful amulet "warriors claw" which increases physical damage and defence by 10%. It unlocks other areas as well but those 2 reasons are a gd start for anyone especially the amulet since they both can be obtained really early. Upgrading a weapon to +10 required delerium chunks, if i remember correctly theres only 4 in each playthrough, you can buy more from a shrine in skyrest for 150 coins but you will neep to play co op and assist another player in slaying a boss to obtain these, you get 15 per boss. Anoth thing is regardless of your chosen class/build allocate atleast 12 radiance and 13 inferno. Theres a catalyst you can buy from molhu (charm of fortunes sight, its the 3rd best catalys in the game) that allows you to use umbral spells and as soon as you can "poison weapon", itadds more physical damage to you weapons and gives a +60 poison build up for bout 90 seconds. Theres also infernal, radiant umbral and lacerating weapon, infernal weapon increases physical and fire damage and adds +60 burn build up, not sure bout the others, never used em. The consumables that add burn/poison build up give +20 for the weaker one and i believe +40 for higher one but do not stack with the spell variant, +60 build up, or each other only the highest value counts, tho the spell "adyrs rage" (increases all damage types) will work with them as this is an aura spell that is applied to your character and not your weapons. To guarentee getting runes target enemies that you would meet as a sub boss for the first time i.e holy bulwark, raider, infernal enchantress (other enemies drop em aswell), attack em until their health is really low then use soulflay to pull out their soul, attack this to deplete the remaining health causes them to be staggered allowing you to do an "umbral finisher" and said enemy WILL drop a rune (if they have a rune in their drop table), tho you cant start obtaining runes until you gave the blacksmith 1 of the 3 runes in the game. Also each time you give her 1 of the rune tablets her inventory expands, she will have more items for sale. Giving her the third rune will allow you to buy infinite upgrade stones, small, regular and large but not the chunks, this is also true for some of the nps as you turn in items or meet them in certain locations (thek ihir, damarose the marked, tortured prisoner) progressing their questlines

YEAH SUCK THAT SOUL TO COMPLEATION😂😂

When he says vigil he means vestige lol

literally can't get past the first boss and nowhere else to go.

❤❤❤❤

This is the best starter video out there! thank you for taking the time to explain everything..I haven’t started playing this game yet and there seems to be a huge learning curve. You should be a grade school teacher! 😉

Great guide...though i play plenty of souls like games i was confuse with all the big names and mechanism

By far the best beginner guide. 👏🏻👏🏻

This is an excellent overview. Haven’t bought it yet for 2 reasons. 1) I’m SOOO into Starfield and 2) I’m on Xbox, so I’m waiting for a few patches.

Good guide!🎉

cool thing about the npc's their options will have a icon next to it if you have a quest piece for them.

At what point are you able to offer remembrances? I have the pieta one but it’s not an option at the vendor.

Didn’t watch the video yet, but for my fellow pyromaniacs out there. If you want to replace your weapon early on for something little faster attacking and potent. Farm the dual wielding axe npcs by the third rest point. They drop the raw mangler axe, and you can dual wield them.
They scale with C- to inferno, and doesn’t effect your spell dmg at all when swapping off staff. They also ignite the enemies really fast.

im pretty sure the game calls bonfire's Vestiges .. not Vigils ..

I’ve lost over 15k vigor and man did that sting, let’s just say I hate the whole area after you find the sanctuary

My biggest question is are the enemies very difficult from the beginnin? Or the more you level up they get more difficult?

THIS IS GREAT!!! A video that explains shit don’t have much experience with souls like games so this really helps me I got covid couple years back & my brain just ain’t the same so this really helps me

Started playing last night, wish I saw this video beforehand lol. Going to start fresh and use what I learned here. Great video!

Am I the only one that gets a loading screen while resting? Or is it a design choice for the game?

Oh wow, can't thank you enough for this! I'm absolutely loving the game so far but with so much to learn and remember, this is exactly what I needed.

Plus your friendly manner and polite way of explaining each element of the game feels very inclusive.

Sometimes in beginners guides the person talks more at you than with you. You definitely talk with us and it's all a shared experience.

Awesome job!

The game is harder than elden ring

I greatly appreciate your guides! Well done and engaging

Just like eldenring in the beginning i hated it and its no different with this game my god what a shit game this is lol

With eldenring it took me hundreds of hours just to get the hang of it and unfortunately with this one its going to be more of the same bs, allthough i love eldenring now i dont know if i have the patience to go through that shit again. I regret buying this game!

What game is harder: Lies of P or LOTF

Anyone got a better Keyboard and Mouse control scheme? V to run is fucked lol

hey, youre playing on PC you say, how did you get PS icons into the Game? There are a few threads bout that tho.. nothing helped..

How do you remove the umbral realm

Very clear and simple to understand 💯 🔥

pfffff what a guide mate !! Thanks you so much, rly great work !!!

Yo you saved me from not playing this game because it seemed overwhelming, I'm not used to playing souls like games at all but I liked what this had to offer until I went hands on. You've helped alot thank you! And for this you've earned my subscription!

Want the love the game, but the stuttering on PS5 is insane, how did it pass testing?

The annoying part is that perfect parry still does wither damage to you.....

Very silly they chose to make you have to go into inventory to swap from spells to your hand to throw ranged items when they could have easily set it to a button to swap from spell to regular ranged. Also why don’t souls just come to you, you literally have to go pick them up it’s silly. Besides that this game is amazing.

Cannot kill the actual first boss 😭🤦🏼‍♀️

Anyone know how to free that stone/frozen woman at the vodoo swamp?

Great video! Thanks

Is the bonus class you get with the special edition a good starting class?

Great job on the Guide, i started the game got a headache off the tutorials turned it off and watched this.

When summoning an npc to progress their questline, do they need to survive?

This makes me want to play the game SO BAD!!!! great tips as always Lucky! very well done!

Awesome guide as always. Told a few of my friends to check this one out.

Great vid! cant wait to try this one out!

Game looks amazing. Imagine being able to throw a fireball more than twice before you're oom.

Just what I need if/when I go to play this, awesome work lucky. Hope you're good and well brother!

Hey @LuckyGhost! Nice video! Have you stopped streaming on Twitch? No more livestreams?

This is great!! Looking forward to playing this with my girlfriend for our first complete souls like
