Follow our comprehensive guide to complete The Deserters side-quest in Lords of the Fallen (2014). Includes walkthrough steps, rewards, and strategies for both outcomes.
Walkthrough
- 1Part 1: The Deserters' Request
- After defeating the Infiltrator boss in the Rhogar Temple, speak to the deserters you encounter as you leave.
- 2They will task you with killing the Dimensional Beast in the Western Antechamber of the Rhogar Realm.
- 3This part is optional. If you complete it, you will receive 500 XP and a Dagger (Protector) upon returning to the deserters. You can also give them a potion for an additional 500 XP.
- 4Part 2: Tracking the Deserters
- After defeating the Infiltrator and returning to Keystone, a scene will play with a wounded soldier. Grab the Human Tattoo he drops.
- 5Meet the captain of the guard in Keystone Citadel. He will ask you to kill the deserters in the Rhogar realm and bring back their Human Tattoos as proof.
- 6There are 5 Human Tattoos in total: 1 found earlier in Keystone Crypts and 4 to be found in the Rhogar Temple area.
- 7The location of the deserters and their tattoos depends on whether you helped them in Part 1:
- If you helped the deserters in Part 1: They are found in the Western Antechamber. Loot a dead soldier for a Human Tattoo, and another is found nearby under a tile. You can convince them to attack the Guardian boss. After the fight, loot their corpses for more Human Tattoos and the Trinket (Amulet of the Betrayer).
- 8If you did not help the deserters in Part 1: Their bodies are scattered from the entrance to the Eternal Flame to the main entrance of the Temple. Loot each body for a Human Tattoo. The final body also yields the Weapon (Dagger – Defender).
- 9Collect all 5 Human Tattoos.
- 10Return to the guard captain in Keystone Citadel.
- 11You will be rewarded with 1,000 XP and a Trinket (The Great Burden).
Tips
- Convincing the deserters to attack the Guardian boss can be a strategic advantage, allowing you to loot their valuable items after the fight.
- If you missed the Human Tattoo in Keystone Crypts, you may need to rely on finding the deserters in the Rhogar realm to complete the quest.
- Part 1 (Optional): 500 XP, Weapon (Dagger – Protector), additional 500 XP for a potion.
- Part 2: 1,000 XP, Trinket (The Great Burden).
- Additional loot if deserters attack Guardian boss: Human Tattoos, Trinket (Amulet of the Betrayer).
