The Ultimate Guide to Harnessing the Power of the Umbral Lamp: Unleash Its Might and Masterful Upgrades

The protagonist in Lords of the Fallen is a warrior who is selected by the Umbral Lamp after defeating its previous owner. While the majority of the gameplay occurs in the realm of the living known as Axiom, certain challenges or conflicts require players to venture into Umbral, the realm of the deceased.

The Umbral Lamp grants lampbearers the ability to glimpse into its depths and discover alternative routes when the path in Axiom is obstructed. Additionally, there are numerous other features available in Lords of the Fallen that are designed to greatly assist players throughout their quest.

How To Use Umbral Lamp In Lords Of The Fallen

There are several abilities that players can use while activating the Umbral Lamp in Lords of the Fallen.

Remove Umbral Parasites

During their exploration, lampbearers may come across adversaries distinguished by their blue health bars, instead of the customary red. These foes are impervious to harm due to their symbiotic fusion with a Parasite from the Umbral Realm. The only way to expel this Parasite is to employ the Umbral Lamp and drain it.

Soulflaying Enemies

Facilitate Exploration

Utilizing the Umbral Lamp, players have the ability to extract an enemy's soul from their physical form through the technique known as Soulflay. By targeting the soul, players can diminish the enemy's health and inflict significant damage. Moreover, players are empowered to select the path in which they direct the enemy's soul during the process of Soulflay, providing a strategic advantage through the potential opportunity to force the souls off a cliff.

While the majority of Lords of the Fallen's gameplay occurs in Axiom, certain areas remain inaccessible until players venture into Umbral and uncover concealed pathways. In select locations, lampbearers possess the ability to grasp onto environmental objects, shifting a platform across to the opposite side. Furthermore, certain objects are connected to a bridge, which can be extended once the Soulflay ability is obtained.

Remove Soulflay Obstacles

There are multiple paths to choose from when exploring both realms in Lords of the Fallen. However, lampbearers may encounter Soulflay Obstacles on their journey, caused by an entity that spreads its roots and blocks their way. To overcome these obstacles, go to Umbral and follow the blue roots until you reach the end, where you can remove the Soulflay Obstacles. In some instances, these obstacles may exist independently without the presence of the entity. In such cases, simply remove them and continue forward.

Plant Vestige Seed

In Lords of the Fallen, players have the option to utilize Vestige Seeds to establish temporary resting checkpoints in addition to the permanent Vestige points found throughout the game. These temporary checkpoints can be created by planting a Vestige Seed in any available Umbral flowerbed.

Siphoning

Witness Stigmas

Stigmas are remnants from the past that occurred in Axiom but are only visible in Umbral. Lampbearers are required to journey to the realm of the deceased and Soulflay the Stigma in order to bear witness to the distressing incident that transpired.

Gives Second Chance

The Umbral Lamp provides a second opportunity when faced with death. In the midst of battles or during explorations, players are granted a fresh start at the exact location, albeit within the realm of Umbral. Succumbing to death once again within this netherworld will transport players back to the previous Vestige.

How To Upgrade Umbral Lamp In Lords Of The Fallen

To enhance the Umbral Lamp, players are required to present a collection of Antediluvian Chisels to Molhu, situated in Skyrest Bridge. Unfortunately, this peculiar being cannot be encountered in Axiom, meaning travelers must journey to Umbral and ascend the stairs near the Skyrest Bridge Vestige rest point to locate him. Due to the fact that Antediluvian Chisels are only obtainable at a later stage, those in the early stages of the game will have to wait before being able to upgrade their Umbral Lamp.

By providing Ancient Chisels and enhancing the Umbral Lamp, players can increase the number of Soulflay charges, allowing them to extract enemies' souls more frequently. Additionally, they can add extra Sockets to insert Umbral Eyes, which enhance the abilities of the Umbral Lamp.

Lords of the Fallen is available on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
