Exploring the Items and Vigors of Lords of the Fallen

[Lorayoung Kob]

Lords of the Fallen (LotF) offers players a rich adventure filled with mysteries to uncover and powers to acquire. Two integral aspects of progression and character building in LotF are items and vigors. This guide will explore some of the most interesting and impactful items and vigors in the game, helping players get the most out of what LotF has to offer.

<h2>
The Pilgrim’s Perch Key
</h2>

Early in the game, players may discover the Pilgrim’s Perch Key as loot. This mysterious item’s purpose is initially unclear. The Pilgrim’s Perch Key unlocks an alternate path leading to new areas, loot, and the ability to power up one’s character with new LotF vigors and Lords of the Fallen items. Finding the location where the Pilgrim’s Perch Key is used can boost a character’s strength significantly.

To use the Pilgrim’s Perch Key, players will want to backtrack to the Fortress of Argaol, where they first encountered the mysterious pilgrims. On a raised platform accessible after defeating several enemies, sits an ornate chest. Interacting with this chest prompts the option to “Use Key”, revealing a hidden staircase leading down. Descending these stairs unveils a new region to explore called the Graveyard of Heroes, patrolled by formidable foes. Defeating enemies here awards XP and loot, including new LotF vigors to enhance one’s character further.

The hidden path opened by the Pilgrim’s Perch Key offers valuable rewards for those patient enough to search it out. Not only does it expand the playable world, it also grants access to powerful new Lords of the Fallen items and the ability to absorb vigors that can turn the tides of battle. Finding obscure keys and learning where they apply adds meaningful variety and replay value to the LotF experience.

<h2>
Notable Vigors
</h2>

Vigors are special skills that characters in LotF can learn to supplement their abilities in combat. A few stand-out vigors include:

<h3>
Barrier
</h3>

This vigor creates a protective shield of energy around the player, absorbing a set amount of damage from attacks. Activating Barrier at a climactic moment can mean the difference between life and death against a tough boss. It’s one of the most vigors for its versatility in many situations.

<h3>
Arcane Bolt
</h3>

Firing a projectile of mystical force, Arcane Bolt deals heavy magic damage to targets. Its medium range makes it useful for engaging enemies from a moderate distance or softening up groups. Combining Arcane Bolt with other LotF items and vigors allows for dynamic spellcasting-oriented builds.

<h3>
Greater Heal
</h3>

Instantly restoring a large portion of health, Greater Heal serves as a reliable heal when low on estus. It proves invaluable for high-risk moments like keeping aggression up against a boss. Stocking up on this vigor enhances survivability and allows players to take greater risks in Lords of the Fallen.

Experimenting with different vigors opens up new approaches. Finding where certain LotF items and vigors synergize best with a character’s build and playstyle enhances building diversity and strategizing against Lords of the Fallen’s myriad threats.

<h2>
Notable Items
</h2>

While vigors shape combat abilities, items offer tangible benefits like increased damage, protection, and utility. Some top LotF items include:

<h3>
Spellblade Set
</h3>

This light armor set boosts magic damage output and lowers mana costs for spells, making it ideal for builds focused on LotF vigors. Wearing the full Spellblade armor and pairing it with intensity-boosting items creates devastating caster potential.

<h3>
Greatsword of Baldur
</h3>

Dealing extremely high physical damage, the two-handed Greatsword of Baldur cleaves through enemies with its heavy hits. Its strong attacks consume more stamina but deal massive posture and health damage to Lords of the Fallen bosses and opponents.

<h3>
Pendragon Shield
</h3>

With high defense stats and 100% block stability, the Pendragon Shield makes the user nearly invulnerable from the front when raised. It allows standing toe-to-toe with bosses without fear of being stunned. Combined with Lords of the Fallen vigors it enables aggressive, shield-based playstyles.

Always on the hunt for more powerful items is key to overcoming LotF’s toughest challenges. Experimenting with different item combinations and build variations ensures players make the most of what this rich RPG world has to offer.

Vigors and items grant players a high degree of build customization in Lords of the Fallen. Learning about unique LotF items like the Pilgrim’s Perch Key and notable vigors like Barrier open up new levels of character progression and playstyle options. Fully harnessing the diverse array of gear, tools and abilities at one’s disposal helps bring out the fullest potential of any character in this dense universe. Those investing time to uncover the game’s lore and master its character optimization will find the greatest rewards against even its most intimidating foes.
