Death in Axiom and death in Umbral

You can also travel to Umbral on demand by using the Umbral Lamp - Lords of the Fallen: Consequences of death - Basics - Lords of the Fallen Guide

If you cause the character to die in the world of the living, Axiom, your character will be automatically reborn in the world of the dead, Umbral. To some extent, you can treat it as a second life and, for example, if you are fighting an enemy, you can continue it in Umbral. However, know that new and unique dangers await the hero in the world of the dead.
In a situation where death in Axiom was falling into an abyss, after rebirth in Umbral you will find yourself on the nearest safe ledge. In such a situation, you can, for example, repeat the jump over the abyss or give up the second attempt.

You can also travel to Umbral on demand by using the Umbral Lamp. This can be used, for example, to use passages and explore locations that are only available in the world of the dead.

If the hero dies in Umbral, the death is final. A death animation will appear and your character will respawn at the nearest Vestige or Seediling. This means you have to travel again to the location where you died and start the fight with the boss again if it defeated you.
The penalty for dying in Umbral is the loss of owned Vigor, i.e. experience points. All unspent points you had will be taken away. However, you will not lose your experience level and the hero will remain at the level he was at before his death in Umbral.

Recovering lost Vigor (XP)

As in many other soulslike games, you can make one attempt to regain lost XP - Lords of the Fallen: Consequences of death - Basics - Lords of the Fallen Guide

As in many other soulslike games, you can make one attempt to regain lost XP. Return to the place where you died. There are 2 possible scenarios:

Vigor is on the ground - approach the purple object and press the interaction button.
Vigor has been absorbed by an enemy - the enemy should be surrounded by a purple glow. You must defeat such an enemy to recover the "stolen" XP.
