Lords of the Fallen: Tips and tricks

1. Destroy objects and obstacles - you'll encounter a lot of wooden chests and other objects in the game that can be destroyed easily, even by dodging towards them. We recommend destroying objects religiously, as they may leave loot or even lead to secret/additional pathways.
2. Use Umbral Lamp whenever possible - this is an item received at the very beginning of the gameplay. Thanks to it, you can discover new pathways that initially could seem dead ends, and switch to Umbral world. It also has combat capabilities - you can use it to damage and eliminate opponents. For example, an inaccessible chasm may turn out to be connected via a bridge that is only seen in Umbral world. If enemies step on such spectral bridge, turn off the lamp and they will fall to their deaths.
3. Don't sell Umbral Scouring - initially, the item cannot be even used, and the only information you receive about it is that you can sell it at Mohlu. Don't do it, as they can be used to obtain unique weapons, armor sets, or even spells thanks to Remembrances. Don't get rid of Umbral Scouring - this is the currency.
4. Use Ranged weapons on suspended objects - during your sessions, you may encounter items that are inaccessible from the ground level. Instead of trying to pick them up , use your ranged weapon and target it. This will make the item fall, and possible to collect.
