Collectibles | Combat Lords of the Fallen Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
While exploring the game world, you can find many interesting collectibles which are, sometimes, connected with side quests and, sometimes, allow you to obtain some valuable items. Locations of all the collectibles have been presented on maps, which can be found in another guide for the Lords of the Fallen. In here, you learn about the most popular types of collectibles and puzzles, which you will have to solve on your own.
1. The passage behind the barricades.
While visiting the chambers, it is a good idea to smash the furniture at the walls. Sometimes, behind such barricades, there are secret passages or half-opened grates that you can roll under.
2. Chests and doors with runes
It is a good idea to have less useful runes in your inventory, because some doors and chests require such items to be opened.
3. Crumbling walls
In the game, there are several walls that stand out, in one way or another. Their characteristic feature is that you can destroy them. To do that, stand several meters away from the wall, put your shield on and run towards it. Then, tap the blocking button. Behind the walls, there often are hidden chests or some other collectibles. The walls that you can destroy are not always identical so, if you spot a characteristic wall fragment, test this method. You may succeed.
4. Floor buttons
If you notice, on the floor, a tile with a glowing rune etched in it, stand on it. It is highly probable that it is a pressure plate that opens a passage, for several seconds. You will recognize this by the characteristic noise. Unfortunately, the secret passage remains open for very short so, after you press the plate, you need to start running. It is a good idea to examine the nearby rooms beforehand, to find the probable location of the loot. Sometimes, it is going to be an exposed grate and, another time, this may be a well-hidden passage behind a bookshelf. You can press the button as many times as you want so, do not worry if you find nothing, the first time around. After you get into the hidden room, find the lever that removes the blockade at the other side.
5. Quest items
In the world of the Lords of the Fallen you will find many items and elements of the surroundings whose meaningfulness you do not understand, at first. It is highly probable that they are connected with quests that you receive later on. Among such items are: human skulls, human tattoos, Tyrant hearts or tablets with unintelligible inscriptions. Keep them, because they may come in handy. Apart from that, remember the walls with runes of unclear meaning and of statues of the Rhogar. You will be able to decipher the former, later on and destroy the latter.
6. Challenge portals
During the exploration, you may encounter stone pillars that, after you meet certain requirements, turn into portals. The requirement to meet is, most usually, the death of the nearest Lord. Each portal takes you somewhere else and the locations can be divided into three types:
- Rooms with unguarded chests
- Dark locations that you move around with glimmers of light on. You can both find treasures and opponents there.
- Arenas, where you need to fight waves of opponents.
