Lords of the Fallen bosses and how to beat them

What are the Lords of the Fallen bosses? Any soulslike worth its salt must have a collection of powerful foes to defeat, and Lords of the Fallen has bosses in spades. While the vast majority of them can be bested with parrying and patience, we all know that's easier said than done. If timings aren't your strong suit, we've included the best strategies to reliably deal damage to bosses without putting yourself at too much risk.

Most Lords of the Fallen bosses present a far easier challenge when engaging them in Lords of the Fallen multiplayer, since they're forced to split their attention between more than one player, so be sure to call upon your friends in the soulslike game. Once defeated, LotF bosses typically drop their signature weapons or armor, vital for the best Lords of the Fallen builds, as well as a Vestige Seed, which can be used to forge checkpoints. Without further ado, here's every boss in Lords of the Fallen and how to beat the toughest of the lot.

Lords of the Fallen healing upgrades and Sanguinarix guide

How do you upgrade the Lords of the Fallen Sanguinarix? Put simply, the Sanguinarix is this soulslike game's equivalent of an Estus flask. It provides quick healing that can be recharged at any bonfire-like checkpoint, but once you run out, you're often not left with many options for long-term survival.

Our Lords of the Fallen review does state that the game wears its influences on its sleeve, with the Lords of the Fallen Sanguinarix being such a case. While there are also Briorstones in Lords of the Fallen that you can use to heal in a pinch, as well as really handy pieces of jewelry you can equip, the main way you heal is by using the Lords of the Fallen Sanguinarix. So here is what you need to do to upgrade it and maybe last long enough against the Lords of the Fallen bosses to make it to the Lords of the Fallen beacons in order to cleanse them.

Lords of the Fallen beacons walkthrough

Where are the Lords of the Fallen beacons? Your main task in Lords of the Fallen is to find the five different beacons and thwart the plans of the evil Adyr, a demon god who once again plagues the land with his corruption. However, upon being told this, you're given a somewhat unhelpful map, and as the game progresses, these maps get vaguer and vaguer.

The simple fact is that while Lords of the Fallen is meant to be a hard game to play, it's an even harder RPG game to navigate your way around. If you somehow miss a ladder, you'll likely go down a completely different route and suddenly find you don't know where to go next.
