There's more to buildcrafting in Lords of the Fallen than just mixing and matching weapons, armor, and accessories. Umbral Eyes offer varying passive bonuses that give players a much-needed edge when facing off against the horrors terrorizing Axiom.
Lords of the Fallen: How to Parry
Parrying is the key to opening up enemies for powerful counters in Lords of the Fallen. Here are some tips on how to do it.
Players may have already found an Umbral Eye early in Lords of the Fallen and if so, they might be confused as to what they do and how to actually use them. Doing so isn't as simple as it first appears, though it's not exactly hard either. One only needs to know who to talk to.
How to Use Umbral Eyes in Lords of the Fallen
Umbral Eyes function similarly to rings and amulets. However, instead of having their dedicated equipment slots, these items are slotted into the Umbral Lamp. To insert Umbral Eyes into the lamp, players need to find Molhu, a hidden vendor inside Skyrest Bridge.
Molhu is an Umbral entity, which means he can only be found in the Umbral Realm. From the Skyrest Bridge Vestige, shift to the Umbral Realm and head up the set of stairs near Pieta. The otherwise empty altar room will now be occupied by the many-armed Molhu who offers a number of essential services.
Not only can Molhu let players harness the power of Umbral Eyes, but he also sells Umbral magic items as well as Vestige Seeds, which are used to create checkpoints on Umbral flower beds. Inserting Umbral Eyes is free, but the number of eyes players can use at a time depends on the upgrade level of their Umbral Lamp. If players have found any Antediluvian Chisels, give them to Molhu so he can improve their lamps.
Umbral Eyes provide passive bonuses that grant additional effects to a variety of actions. These aren't necessarily limited to Umbral magic or the withered health mechanic, though many Umbral Eyes tend to focus on these. Some Umbral Eye passives include:
- Enemies within lamp siphon range are slowed
- Gain damage immunity for a short duration after entering the Umbral Realm
- When charging a heavy attack, posture cannot be broken and all damage taken is received as wither damage
Players can find Umbral Eyes hidden within the environment. They're usually in the Umbral Realm, so be extra sure to check points of interest and other suspicious objects in the environment to see if they have any secrets to plunder. Exploring the Umbral Realm is also a viable option, but be careful not to take too much time in there to avoid the Reaper's gaze.
Lords of the Fallen is available now on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
