How to respec your character | Hero - Harkyn Lords of the Fallen Guide

At some point into the game, you may realize that the build of your character does not satisfy you. Probably, you may decide that you do not want to start the game over, but you would like to test another character in action. This is where you can use the option to reset the attributes/class, but you can do that only once per entire game. Apart from that, you need to have the Shard of Heroes. You can use this item earlier, while fighting the Commander, but you then lose the opportunity to reset the attributes (and in exchange, you receive a very good weapon).

After the battle, the weapon appers in the place of the smashed statue.

To obtain interesting gear, put (before the battle) the Shard of Heroes in one of the statues (you receive different weapons, depending on the statue; from the left to the right: for the Rogue, Fighter or the Cleric). The Commander, after his health drops by, around a quarter, approaches the statue and smashes it, which allows you to pick the weapon, after the battle.

Obtaining the Shard itself is not too difficult. You can do this already, at the beginning of the game, after you have dealt with the first boss. To do that you need to exit the Initiation Chamber, through the newly-opened door. Climb down the stairs. In the spot presented in the above screenshot, you will notice the key that was required earlier (the key to the door in the Northern cloister wing). You will hop over the barrier, without any problems, if you run up, down from the stairs.

To find the hidden corridor, climb onto the balcony.

Return now, to the spot where you started the game. On one side of the stairs, (not the one, where you found the note), jump onto the railing and over to the balcony. At the end of the path, there is a hidden door (watch out, jump over the chasm in the first place), which you an open with the key to the door in the Northern cloister wing. Collect the Shard of Heroes.

To reset attributes/class, put the shard in a statue, outside of combat

You can use the Shard of Heroes in two ways. The way to use it is before the battle, thanks to which you receive a special weapon. You can also use the Shard right after you defeat the Commander. In both cases, pick the statue, in Square of the Judges that you are interested in (from the left to the right: the rogue, the fighter, the cleric) to reset the attributes and change your class. In the case, in which you play, e.g. as the fighter, and pick the statue in the middle, you will not be able to change your class, but the attributes will reset. The same goes for the weapon - the item you receive depends on the judge that you pick.
