Detailed walkthrough for Lords of the Fallen (2014), covering optional side-quests involving the Monster Prison, Old Quarters, and Main Hall areas, including item locations and enemy strategies.
Walkthrough
- 1Monster Prison: Access the newly opened area to find three Audio Notes (Grim Places: Vicious Poison, My Vow: I Swear to Him, Dark Deeds: More Than Human), a chest containing the Head Armour (Persistance), a Ghost Merge Shard, and an Empty Bottle. Return to the Citadel.
- 2Old Quarters: Navigate the Flooded Hallways to the Old Quarters. At the top of the stairs, defeat two Knights. Find a Human Skull near a sarcophagus. Enter the doorway opposite the stairs, trigger a Rogue to attack by moving down the stairs, and defeat him. Kill the Crossbowman in the far corner and loot the Weapon (Shortsword - Curse) for a future side-quest.
- 3Old Quarters (Continued): Ignore the stairs for now. Unlock a shortcut to the Memorial by using the arched doorway and the door at the bottom (optional, may respawn enemies).
- 4Old Quarters (Upper Level): Return to where the Knights were fought and take the stairs up. In the room to the left, defeat the Marauder. Note the Loot Crystal #10 and the pressure plate.
- 5Old Quarters (Weak Wall): Move cautiously into the opening. Use your gauntlet to pull enemies (Rogue, two Infected) one at a time into the previous area for easier combat.
- 6Old Quarters (Locked Door): After clearing the enemies, find a weak wall on the left hand wall. Break it down with your shield. Return to the pressure plate, use Harkyn’s Prayer spell to create a clone on it, and quickly go back to enter the now-open door. Loot the Spell Point Shard and Poison Resistance Shard. Exit via the other doorway.
- 7Main Hall: Follow the main hall left to find the guard who appeared after defeating the Beast. Speak to him to advance his side-quest.
- 8Main Hall (Initiation Room): Enter the unlocked door opposite the guard (the Initiation Room). Defeat the Poison/Fire Beast. Loot the Sealed Rune (Small) it drops. Return to the guard in the Main Hall for 7,500 XP.
- 9Main Hall (Cellar Access): Return to the Initiation Room and take the left-hand door. Defeat the Shieldman and Rogue. Proceed down the stairs and enter one of the doors ahead.
- 10Main Hall (Cellar Key): In the small room between two bedrooms, find and break a weak wall. Pick up the Cellar Quest Key.
- 11Main Hall (Cellar Exploration): Enter the next door, fight a Spider and an Infected. Move to the far end of the room, kill another Infected, and grab a Human Skull. Continue past, find another Infected and an Audio Note (The Plot: Point Three).
- 12Main Hall (Cellar Loot): Move down the stairs, kill a Spider in the back left corner, and loot a Human Skull. Note and break the weak wall behind the Spider to find an Empty Bottle.
Tips
- When fighting the Poison/Fire Beast, use your gauntlet from outside its melee range while backpedalling in circles. This can prevent it from attacking effectively.
- The Curse Shortsword is needed for a side-quest later.
- The pressure plate in the Old Quarters requires Harkyn's Prayer to activate the door from a distance.
- Be aware that breaking walls can lead to new areas and potential combat encounters.
