A new Lords of the Fallen update is now live on PC and consoles, introducing new features, improvements, and fixes to the game.
The biggest addition included in the Master of Fate update is an Advanced Game Modifier system that allows players to alter the experience using seven different modifiers, which are fully detailed below. These modifiers can make the game easier or much more difficult.
Ironman
Dying in Umbral resets your current playthrough, and you will awaken at the start once again. The world progression is reset, but player progression and inventory is retained. Certain scripted moments are excluded from this.
Pre-Upgraded Loot:
Weapons, shields and catalysts found as loot from enemies, or in the world, will come pre-upgraded based on your player level.
Randomized Loot:
Loot dropped by enemies, and found in the world, is randomized. Does not affect quest and progression items, nor unique boss items.
Randomized Enemies:
Enemies encountered in the world now appear in a random order. Does not impact named boss enemies.
More Enemies:
The world contains significantly more enemies.
Withered Healing:
All healing received is Withered Healing, and must be confirmed by dealing damage to enemies.
Vestige Decay:
– No Vestige Decay: No Vestige has withered away, leaving you all possible places of respite.
– Minor Vestige Decay: Some Vestiges have withered away, leaving you with fewer places of respite.
– Extensive Vestige Decay: Many Vestiges have withered away, often leaving you without rest for long stretches.
– Tremendous Vestige Decay: All Vestiges, except for a rare few, have withered away. Truly, a restless experience.
The new Lords of the Fallen update also introduces support for the latest version of AMD FSR 3 and fixes for a few other issues. The full update notes can be found here.
Lords of the Fallen is now available on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S. You can learn more about the game by checking out my launch review.
