Upgrading weapons to their maximum level in Lords of the Fallen can be both costly and time-consuming, especially when it comes to gathering the necessary reinforcement materials. Among these materials, Large Deralium Shards, the third tier of upgrade material, are particularly scarce.
Players who are aiming to fully upgrade their first weapon in Lords of the Fallen should not face too much difficulty in obtaining Large Deralium Shards. However, acquiring these shards becomes significantly more challenging when attempting to upgrade a second or even a third weapon. Fortunately, there is a way to farm Large Deralium Shards, allowing players to amass an abundant supply if they are aware of the right locations.

Players can find pairs of Large Deralium Shards scattered in specific and often hidden locations throughout Axiom. These shards are abundant enough to fully upgrade a boss weapon, but they only appear once per campaign. To collect them, players must defeat Holy Bulwarks, which are the same enemy type as the first boss encountered after the tutorial phase.
Holy Bulwarks have a distinctive appearance, wearing bucket-style helmets, heavy armor, and wielding two-handed maces. Two of these enemies can be found in the Forsaken Fen, specifically in the mountain pass area near the Fen waypoint. To reach them, players can use a bone ladder in the Umbral. Start by teleporting to the Fen waypoint and proceed through the flooded cave tunnel shortcut to locate the ladder.
Keep following the road until you come across Hallowed Sentinel patrols protecting the mountain pass. The initial Holy Bulwark is concealed behind breakable barriers near the bone ladder. The second one is located further along the mountain pass, standing watch over the winding dirt road that leads to the chasm of the Congregator of Flesh.
For smoother farm operations, players should position a Vestige Seed on the opposite side of the road that leads to the second Bulwark. Starting from the Fen waypoint, continue in the usual direction towards the mountain pass, but once you cross the Umbral spine bridge, take a left turn instead of a right. The designated flower bed can be found in the clearing that offers a view of the swamp. Planting a seed here will enable it to serve as a convenient fast travel point.
Alternatively, the Manse of the Hallowed Brothers presents another viable farming location. Numerous flower beds are situated near spawn points for Holy Bulwarks. Notable spots include the flower bed in proximity to the Kitchen and the corridor adjacent to the path that leads to the Abiding Defenders boss arena.
Please note that Large Delirium Shards have a relatively rare drop rate. It is highly probable that players will obtain the complete Holy Bulwark armor set during their farming endeavors for these shards.
Lords of the Fallen can now be experienced on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
