How To Level Up In Lords Of The Fallen

Leveling up in Lords of the Fallen is quite simple as players only need a Vestige point. The checkpoint acts as a resting place to refill some Sanguinarix and replenish HP as well as the perfect spot to Upgrade Character. Each upgrade requires a certain amount of Vigor, the purple stuff that players pick up once they defeat an enemy. Naturally, the following upgrade will always request more Vigor than the previous one.

If players are lost on which stat to upgrade, it’s best to stick to the chosen class and upgrade stats and boost the skills required to enhance said class. For example, if players choose a class with light weapons like Blackfeather Ranger, it’s best to focus on Agility and Endurance. As for those who are new to the soulslike genre, try to upgrade what’s creating a problem. For instance, if the HP is too little and lampbearers are dying almost immediately, upgrade Vitality to increase the health bar.

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