Saintly Quintessence Locations in Lords of the Fallen: In Of

Don't miss a single upgrade! This guide details every Saintly Quintessence location in Lords of the Fallen (2023), helping you maximize your healing. Essential for tough bosses!

Alright, so you're looking to beef up that trusty Sanquinarix, huh? Smart move! Upgrading your healing item is super important in Lords of the Fallen, especially when you start running into those tougher bosses. These things, called Saintly Quintessences, can be a bit sneaky to find, but don't worry, I've got your back. We'll track 'em all down so you can keep that health bar topped up.

You'll notice that a lot of these Quintessences are hidden away in the Umbral parts of the world, often just a little off the main path. So, when you're heading towards an area where you think one might be, be ready to dive into the Umbral and keep your eyes peeled. It's a good idea to prepare for a fight, too, as these items are often guarded.

Saintly Quintessence Locations

1. Tutorial: Yep, you get one right at the start as part of the tutorial. Can't miss it!
2. Skyrest Bridge (Pieta): This is technically the first boss you fight at the end of the tutorial area. You'll get one after defeating her.
3. Pilgrim's Perch (Scourged Sister Delyth): After you get to Skyrest Bridge and head out to Pilgrim's Perch, you'll find the Bell Church. Head inside, go down into the Perch area, and then into the big church on the right. Climb up using ladders and beams until you're in the boss room. There's a little cubby in the Umbral you can Soul Flay to snag the Quintessence, even if you don't beat Delyth.
4. The Fen's First Village: Once you reach the first major village area in The Fen, switch to the Umbral and head into the waterways. Go right, and you'll find a small dock. There's a Soul Flay creature on the wall here, but it's guarded by a few villagers, some 'smelly boys,' and a moth lady. Take out the guards first, then you can safely Soul Flay and grab the Quintessence. Pro-tip: use the dock above to drop down on the moth lady to make that fight easier.
5. Fitzroy's Gorge: Deeper into Fitzroy's Gorge, you'll find a ruined garden. Follow the path until you see a tree in a circular grove. If you switch to the Umbral here, you'll find another Soul Flay obstacle, this one guarded by one of those big, Easter Island head-looking boulder enemies.
6. Calrath Slums: Towards the end of the Calrath Slums, near a bonfire with a fire wizard, you'll see a wooden path leading to a burning building. Go into the Umbral to enter it. Head up the stairs to the top floor – there's another Soul Flay creature guarded by a Moth Lady. You can spot the building by the rope bridge connecting its top floor to another building.
7. Calrath Blacksmith Quarters: After beating the Calrath Slums boss, you'll unlock a new path to an ashen part of the city. Follow the paths down towards a tree. In the Umbral, this tree has a Soul Flay creature. Watch out, though – there are lots of wizards, burning enemies, and even a Ravager that can spot you from pretty far away.
8. Calrath - Sunless Skein Door: To get this one, you first need the Sunless Skein Key, which you find *inside* the Sunless Skein Mines after beating the main Calrath boss. Once you have the key, warp to the Alehouse Vestige. Head out the door opposite the Vestige and go left. Kill the fire axeman and cross the bridge. Around the corner, switch to the Umbral, Soul Flay the platform, and cross over. You can either fight or run past the enemies (including an Enchantress) to unlock the Sunless Skein door. Climb the ladder, head left (more enemies here), and down the stairs into a tunnel. Before you go too far, use an Emergence Effigy to get back to the Axiom Realm. In the tunnel, grab the item to your left, then head right, and immediately left again. Follow the mine track downhill, past another Enchantress. Take the first left, then go down the stairs. You'll likely face a Ravager (or a Ravager and a giant head in Umbral). It's best to deal with the Ravager in Axiom first, then switch to Umbral to handle the head. You need to be in Umbral anyway to Soul Flay the nearby body for the Saintly Quintessence. Once you grab it, kick the plank opposite to open a shortcut.
9. Sunless Skein Cave (near Cistern): In the Hoist area of the Sunless Skein, start at the Hoist Vestige. Go through the flooded area and the tunnel on the far left, which is guarded by a fire swordsman, a snake crossbow enemy, and some dogs. This leads to the gate for the Cistern. Don't go through the gate; instead, turn right into a cave area. Look for a hole in the floor that leads to a joist supporting the mine. You can grab the Saintly Quintessence from this beam.
10. Upper Calrath: In the center of the ashen town, just past an Enchantress, you'll find a tree. Soul Flay the body opposite the tree to get the Quintessence.
11. Fief’s Starting Ruin base: At the Fief Vestige Point in the snowy biome, there's a small cavity in a wall with a Soul Flay creature. You can only get it from the outside. Climb the wall and exit left as usual, run to the end, go over the barrier, turn right, and cross the bridge. Follow the other side of the chasm back towards the fort. Switch to Umbral when you get near the first structure. Jump on the platforms, Soul Flay the moving bridge forward, and look for a drop-down point to enter the cubby and get the Quint.
12. Fief’s Castle Ruin Village: After beating the area boss and sorting the beacon, walk down the tower and cross into the Umbral near the Lightreaper Arena. Follow the riverbed left into an old, rundown village. You'll find a blockage you need to clear, and the Quintessence is in a Soul Flay object in the wall.
13. Path of Devotion: You can access this area by going right when you approach the Bell-Rise boss room. Follow the path down the hill to the right. Enter the Umbral when you reach an area with a knight, worshippers, two crossbowmen, and their dogs. Towards the edge overlooking the gorge, you'll find a ladder in the Umbral. Go down it, then jump across the gap. You'll find a Soul Flay interaction, but be careful – it's guarded by two moths and lots of eggs that spawn shamblers. It's best to pop the eggs from a distance with grenades or spells before you walk over, and deal with the casters. Once the immediate threats are manageable, you should be able to safely grab the item and get out before the moths swarm you.
14. Tower of Penance: At the very bottom of the Tower of Penance, there's a path leading outside. Enter the Umbral, and you'll find ladders to climb. The path leads to an enclosed space with Umbral Eggs and a Moth Lady. The Quintessence is in the Soul Flay object at the back.
15. Hallowed Sisters: After the Tower of Penance and Hallowed Brothers, you'll go through a garden area towards a large church-like building. Go up the church as high as you can, then follow the path to a blood-filled fountain outside. Switch to the Umbral, and you'll find a path to another terraced area where you can Soul Flay a creature to find another Quintessence.
16. Empyrean: This is part of the Hallowed Sisters area, where the beacon is. Head into the larger abbey at the back. In one of the rooms guarded by knight statues, one path leads to a Soul Flay creature on the wall in the Umbral, where you can grab a Quint.
17. Bramis Castle: In one of the ruined upper parts of the castle that leads outside. You can access this by going into the Umbral inside the castle after progressing up the stairs. Navigate the paths to a broken stone area with a ladder you can lower to an outdoor area with a pathway leading to the Vestige. The Quintessence is found here.
