General hints | Combat Lords of the Fallen Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

1. Try to change and test new weapons often. It may be much easier to defeat some opponents, if you pick the appropriate type of weapon. This is especially true in the case of bosses. Pay attention, especially, to the speed of the weapon, damage dealt and the required attribute (e.g. strength). Sometimes, the faster weapons that deal less damage are better than the slow ones, with which you perform attacks that are easy to break.

2. The spots, in which you fight bosses, are always separated from the rest of the map, with a special barrier that do not let the rest of the opponents through. If you die, during the battle, you can walk the distance between the save-crystal and the Lord, without bothering about the opponents. They will not enter the arena anyways. Just try to dodge their attacks properly.

3. If you find fighting problematic, from the very beginning, try to change the armor that you are wearing and the weapon. It is the most challenging, to play as the rogue wearing a light armor, for the beginners. The cleric should be the easiest to handle.

4. While developing your character, pick one attribute that you are going to invest the most points in. In the case of the fighter, this should be strength, for the rogue, pick dexterity and for the cleric, faith.

5. Do not invest your experience into spell points, if you lack the faith to unlock a new spell.

6. Be patient. You can be killed, by most of the opponents, really quickly, if you are careless and attack at the wrong moment. Try not to engage in an open exchange of blows and avoid mashing the attack button mindlessly.

7. Map your weapons to your favorites list to be able to switch between quickly, in combat.

8. Always try to avoid fighting more than one opponent, at a time. If you are jumped by a group of opponents, try to lure one of them into the location that you have already cleared and kill him before the rest arrive.

9. If you are fighting against a group of opponents, eliminate the one with ranged attacks, in the first place. Usually, they are not as resistant as the rest and they can be really annoying, if left alone.

10. Try not to use up the shards of protection from fire! You are going to need them in the final boss battle.

11. Watch your step! In several spots, there are holes that it is easy to fall into and die. You can also exploit them to your own advantage and push an opponent into one - he dies on the spot, then.

12. Walk into new areas with your shield up. Often, there may be an opponent behind the wall.

13. While fighting, try to eliminate the weakest enemy first - it is going to make things easier and if left alone, they can be a nuisance and damage you painfully.

14. Never engage in an open exchange of blows. You will fare off much better if you use the shield, blocking, the gauntlet and dodges wisely. Also, diversify your attacks - use dashing attacks, after a successful dodge, if possible, charge the strong attack.

15. If possible, get your enemies from behind - you then stand a chance of killing them instantly.

16. Use diversified gear, thanks to which you will personalize your character. Some of the weapons are better for the Fighter, due to the strength that they need, whereas the Rogue will find some other ones more useful. Each weapon has its own damage dealt and speed, thanks to which you will be able to decide which gear is better. Some also require you to use both hands, which makes it impossible to use the shield.

17. Keep looking around, because getting off the beaten track often results in finding interesting items and various collectibles.

18. You fight each boss in a bit different way, but there is one thing that the fights have in common - you need to remain in constant movement and learn your opponent's attack, which allows you to match your tactic and find gaps in defenses.

19. Use shards with consideration. It is best to use them while fighting bosses that prove to be the most problematic.

20. Some of the doors cannot be opened, up until you push the storyline forward. Some others require a specific key and still other can only be opened at the other side.
