It is essential to your success in Lords of the Fallen that you constantly upgrade your weapons. If you have stronger Lords of the Fallen items, you will deal more damage to your enemies, allowing you to finish them off more quickly and take on more difficult foes, which will grant you more Lords of the Fallen vigor. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know in order to upgrade your weapons effectively.
Acquire an understanding of the Upgrade Materials
You will need specific materials that can be farmed throughout the game in order to upgrade your weapons.
These materials are as follows: Deralium Shards are the most fundamental component of the crafting system. Shards, both small and large, can be used to improve LotF items. Arcane Resin is a more uncommon component for more advanced upgrades that can be acquired later in the game. Restoring broken or damaged LotF items to their original level of durability requires the use of Scrap Metal. Collect these items as you make your way through the levels and vanquish the various foes you encounter. Always keep an eye on the crafting merchants to see if there are any additional materials you need to upgrade your Lords of the Fallen items.
Locate the Upgrade Shrines
Only in certain shrines can you improve your weapons. These shrines are as follows:
The Monastery Shrine is the first shrine that can be visited and is located relatively close to the beginning of the game. The Gauntlet Shrine can be accessed at a later time after Carsejaw has been vanquished in the Gauntlet. A short distance after entering the Keystone Citadel area is where you'll find the Keystone Citadel Shrine. Make use of these shrines whenever you have gathered enough materials for an upgrade and are ready to strengthen your items in the LotF.
Costs of Upgrades
Spending your collected Shards and Resin is required in order to upgrade your LotF items:
Uses Fragments of Small Deralium from Level 1 to Level 5 between levels 6 and 10, this ability utilizes large shards of deralium.
Requires Arcane Resin and Level 10 or Higher
The higher your level, the more materials you'll need. As an illustration, the cost to level up from 9 to 10 is 10 Large Shards, whereas the cost to level up from 1 to 2 is only 2 Small Shards. Maximum available level for the weapons. The maximum possible level of upgrade is determined by the following factors:
- Axes and Hammers of a Common Nature
- Level 10 Rare Axes and Hammers
- Level 10 Position 13 Historically Important Axes and Hammers
- Position 15 All Swords are Level 15, All Staffs are Level 12
It is not possible to advance a weapon's level beyond its maximum capacity. Legendary items in LotF have the potential to have the highest possible stats.
Upgrade Benefits and Perks
The following benefits become available upon upgrading:
Damage: Each level grants an additional 2% to a weapon's base damage. Increases the scaling of damage done in accordance with your character's Strength and Magic attributes. The weapon's Magic Affinity increases the effectiveness of any special elemental damage effects it has. Increases the maximum amount of durability gained by 5% at each level. Because of this, upgrading is a very good investment if you want to increase your offensive power and obtain more vigor from Lords of the Fallen.
Restoring Damage to Armament
The durability of a weapon declines as it is used. When damaged, Lords of the Fallen items can be repaired at shrines using scrap metal.
Common Debris Restores one-quarter of one's durability
Restoring 50% of the original durability with high-quality scrapRestoring durability is made possible by exceptional Scrap Fully. The amount it costs to repair a weapon depends on its level. LOTF Items that have been degraded deal less damage and therefore maintain their durability.
Magical qualities
Weapons that have been enchanted receive the following additional benefits:
Gain health whenever you take damage while leeching. Increases the number of items that are dropped by enemies. Gaining experience and additional XP by vanquishing foes is rewarded. Perform enchantments at the unique altars that can be found in later game zones. The effects become more potent with each altar that is used on the same weapon.
The Deconstruction of Weapons
When done at shrines, dismantling unused items from the LotF yields various materials, including
| Returns to Levels 1 through 5 |
| Returns on Small Shards at Levels 6-10 |
| Returns of Large Shards at Level 10 or Higher |
| Resin of the Arcane |
The amount that is returned is proportional to the weapon's level. Recycling materials requires disassembling old weapons first.
Improve your positioning tactically
Some suggestions for upgrades:
Put your primary attention first on the LotF items that you use the most. Strike a balance between focusing on one weapon and upgrading all of your weapons. If you plan to dismantle the damaged LotF items in the near future, avoid overrepairing them. Modify your build so that it makes use of the weapons you have already upgraded. You should carefully plan your upgrades in order to get the most out of them and to save as much material as possible. In Lords of the Fallen, upgrading LotF items can be done in a way that is both straightforward and strategic. Spend some time learning the locations of shrines, the costs of their materials, and the benefits they provide. Make intelligent investments to maximize the destructive potential of your weapons against the Rhogar threat and to gain more vigor from the Lords of the Fallen.
