Obtaining Vigor:

Players can acquire Vigor by killing enemies or using LotF Vigor skulls, which are consumables that provide a set amount of Vigor. Similar to Souls in the Soulsborne games, defeating enemies is the primary way to accumulate Lords of the Fallen Vigor.

Two Lives:

In Lords of the Fallen, players have two lives. If they die in the land of the living, known as Axiom, they will respawn in the Umbral realm with half of their health depleted but still alive to continue the fight. However, if they die in the Umbral realm, they will lose all their Vigor and must retrieve it to avoid losing their progress.

Retrieving Lost Vigor:

If a player dies in the Umbral realm, there are three ways to retrieve their lost Vigor, depending on the manner of their death:

• Umbral Entities: Certain enemies, known as Umbral Entities, can steal the player's Vigor upon killing them. To retrieve the lost Vigor, players must return to the location where they were killed and find the enemy that stole it. Defeating that enemy will cause them to drop the stolen Vigor for the player to pick up.

• Environmental Death:If a player dies due to falling off a bridge or similar environmental hazards, their lost Vigor will be located at the spot where they fell off.

• Regular Enemies: If a player is killed by regular enemies, such as Marksman or Inferno Mage, those enemies will steal the player's Vigor and store it within their bodies. To retrieve the lost Vigor, players must defeat the enemy that killed them, and the enemy's dead body will drop the stolen Vigor.

Umbral Excursion Farming:

• This method involves entering Umbral and farming until you've maxed out the Dread meter.

• Find an open space next to a point of rest, clear any Axiom enemies, and rift into Umbral.

• Fight the Umbral creatures as they materialize and try to collect as much Lords of the Fallen Vigor as possible before the red wraith Umbral enemy spawns.

• This method is preferable as your multiplier will slowly increase while in Umbral, and when your Dread is maxed out, you will have a x3 multiplier on your Vigor gain.

Axiom and Umbral Double Feature:

• This method involves farming both Axiom and Umbral enemies for maximum LotF Vigor gain.

• Rest at a chosen Vestige and rift into Umbral.

• Clear your chosen sector of enemies and wait for the multiplier to increase before starting the killing.

• With the increased Vigor gain and access to Axiom and Umbral enemies, the Vigor you gain from doing the rounds and slaughtering will be significant.

Pilgrim's Perch Bellroom Vestige Farming:

• Travel to the Pilgrim's Perch Bellroom Vestige and run past the spiked bucket enemy in front of you.

• You can either jump down the ledge to your death or do a fast roundabout at the edge of the area as you sprint towards it. The enemy will fall to its death, and you can also kill the two fodder enemies around it to gain extra LotF Vigor.

• This method can yield around 700-800 Vigor per run and takes only 10-20 seconds to complete.
