Even though they share the same title, the recently released Lords of the Fallen will occur 1,000 years after the original. Hexworks and CI Games’ soulslike role-playing game takes the player on an adventure across a huge, linked world, exploring the Axiom and the Umbral parallel worlds.
The key to triumph lies in strategic character development and skill selection in a world teeming with challenges and adversaries. This guide will discuss the most OP build-in Lords of the Fallen. This will allow the player to dominate battles and conquer even the most daunting foes easily.
From optimizing attributes to selecting the most potent abilities and equipment, this guide aims to pave the path to an unstoppable character build, ensuring you stand as an indomitable force in the world of Lords of the Fallen.
The Most OP Build
The following are the recommended class, weapons, shields, ranged weapons, armor, pendants, and rings to get to have the most overpowered (OP) build in Lords of the Fallen:
Class
Of all the possible classes the player can try in the game, one stands out as the most overpowered. This is the Dark Crusader class. However, the player does not have this class right at the start of the game if they have the standard edition. After completing ‘The Paladin’s Request’ quest, the player will unlock this class later. Or, as an alternative, the player can purchase the deluxe edition of the game to have it available at the beginning of the game.
The following are the Dark Crusader class’ starting stats: a Strength stat of 12, Agility stat of 8, Endurance stat of 14, Vitality stat of 14, Radiance stat of 11, and Inferno stat of 8. As you can see, the Dark Crusader class specializes in melee combat and has excellent physical defense, health, and stamina. It can also cast Radiant spells.
If the player does not have the Dark Crusader class yet but still wants a very OP build, the player can also use the Hallowed Knight class. The player does not need to unlock this class, so it is available right at the beginning of the game.
The following are the Hallowed Knight class’ starting stats: a Strength stat of 12, an Agility stat of 8, an Endurance stat of 15, a Vitality stat of 11, a Radiance stat of 9, and an Inferno stat of 8. This class has great Endurance and Vitality stats, which makes it an excellent choice for novices of the game. With its great Endurance stat, the player may spend their stamina bar very well.
With it, the player can unleash a combination of light attacks while being able to dodge when needed. This class is also slow, so the increased endurance for evading will come in handy. The Hallowed Knight class also has a good Strength stat. This means it can deal considerable damage when using strength-based weapons.
Stat Scaling
For an OP build, the player must begin boosting their Strength, Endurance, and Vitality stats as the player starts progressing in the game. This will allow the player to remain powerful and protected while fighting enemies. Also, this allows the player to use heavy armor and weapons without being slowed down. It is advised to disregard the Agility stat entirely because the player will not require the weapons it is required for.
Also, don’t overlook magic. The player can use this as a backup offensive option. With this, the player may use a few spells when needed. It is recommended to only choose one of either the Radiance or Inferno stats. These allow players to use at least a few basic spells on enemies.
Weapons
For a strength-based OP build, it is recommended to use two-handed weapons or a strong weapon in one arm and a shield in the other. The following are the recommended weapons for the most OP build in Lords of the Fallen:
1. Sword of Skin and Tooth
This is arguably the best weapon to have the most OP build in Lords of the Fallen. This weapon can inflict physical and fire damage and have a burn effect on enemies. The Sword of Skin in Tooth is a Grand Sword, which means it is a two-handed weapon weighing 41.3.
Because it is a two-handed weapon, the player cannot use a shield while using this sword. However, it is still recommended to equip one, as the player will still be able to use the Rune effects of the shield. Because of that, it is advised to equip the lightest shield possible.
The following are this weapon’s stats: an Attack Power of 146 divided between Physical, with 100, and Fire, with 46. Additionally, the following are its block protection capabilities: Physical protection at 47%, Holy protection at 26%, Fire protection at 48%, Wither protection at 26%, and Stability at 33%.
This powerful weapon can deal 200 damage when inflicting the Burn effect.
To equip the Sword of Skin and Tooth, the player must have a Strength stat of at least 36.
How to Get
The player will be able to get the Sword of Skin and Tooth in Lower Calrath. To find the Sword of Skin and Tooth in this area, the player must do the following:
- First, the player must activate the Vestige of Lydia the Numb Witch in Lower Calrath.
- Next, the player must drop down the platform in front of the Vestige of Lydia the Numb Witch. Head slightly forward and head for the opening on the left.
- After that, the player must follow the wooden platform to the left and drop from the edge to the floor below. Head to the right, where the player will find a flight of stairs that leads down and a ladder. The player must head down the flight of stairs.
- Following that, the player must head to the right to come across another opening with a ledge. Drop down the ledge to reach an alley.
- Then, from this alley, follow the path on the right, then follow the next street on the left. At the end of this path, the player will find an arch with a broken brick wall.
- Next, the player must use the Umbral Lamp and shine it on the brick wall. After doing so, the player will find a hidden path. Head inside and go up a flight of stairs.
- After that, on top, follow the path, and the player will find a chest.
- Finally, approach the chest and open it to obtain the Sword of Skin and Teeth! Not only that, but the player will also get two pieces of Fire Salts, two pieces of Holy Salts, and two pieces of Water Salts.
2. Bloodlust
Another recommended weapon for an OP build is the Bloodlust. This is a Short Sword with a Rhogar-infused blade. This will allow the player to restore health after killing an enemy. The Bloodlust sword weighs 8.3.
The following are the stats of the Bloodlust sword: An Attack Power stat of 74, which is divided between Physical, with 37, and Fire, with 37. Also, this short sword has the following block protection capabilities: Physical protection of 27%, Holy protection of 11%, Fire protection of 33%, a Wither protection of 11%, and Stability of 18%.
This weapon can deal 60 damage when inflicting the Bleed effect and 60 when inflicting the Burn effect.
To equip the Bloodlust sword, the player must have an Agility stat of at least 13 and an Inferno stat of at least 13.
How to Get
The player can obtain the Bloodlust short sword in Fitzroy’s Gorge. This is the area before Lower Calrath. To find this short sword, the player must perform the following:
- First, from the Vestige of the Pale Butcher in Shuja Hamlet, the player must follow the path right before it. While following this path, the player will find a wooden opening.
- Following that, the player must enter the opening and follow the wooden path straight ahead. While trailing this wooden path, the player will eventually reach the woods and a ledge with a ladder.
- Next, the player must drop down the ledge and follow the path on the left with the lit torches. While following this path, the player must pass through a wooden opening with more lit torches inside. Keep following the narrow path inside, and the player will find a gate.
- After that, the player must use the Umbral Lamp and shine it on the gate. With that, pass through the gate and continue on the path to reach an open area. The player must continue on this path and pass through a shallow pond.
- Then, once the player reaches the point on the path where the path is divided into two, the player must take the path on the left. The player must continue taking this path until the player finds more lit torches on the path.
- Afterward, the player will reach a wooden structure with an opening. Proceed through the opening; the player will encounter and face Crimson Rector Percival. The player must now defeat this secondary boss.
- Following that, once the player has defeated Crimson Rector Percival, the player must continue heading straight ahead on the path from the entrance. Near the end, the player will find an opening to a tunnel on the left and a chest on the right. The player must head towards the chest.
- Finally, approach the chest and open it. The player has now obtained the Bloodlust sword!
3. The Iron Wayfarer’s Hammer
The Iron Wayfarer’s Hammer is another recommended weapon for an overpowered build. This is a Grand Hammer-type weapon with excellent physical damage. Additionally, this weapon can deal Holy, Fire, and Wither damage to foes. This hammer also weighs 35.2. The only disadvantage of this weapon is that the player can only find it near the end of the game.
The following are the stats of The Iron Wayfarer’s Hammer: an Attack Power total of 187, divided between 109 Physical Damage, 26 Holy Damage, 26 Fire Damage, and 26 Fire Damage.

- The player must first warp to the Vestige of Ethryg. When the player arrives, he or she must take the path straight before the Vestige of Ethryg. The player must descend a flight of stairs and go straight down the hallway on this path. At the end of the path, the player must climb another set of stairs and follow them to the top.
- After that, the player must proceed to the top of the stairs and take the path on the left. The player is going to arrive at Skyrest Bridge from here. Continue up a spiral flight of stairs, following this path. The player must then proceed to the next entryway on the right. This is where the player battled Pieta, She of Blessed Renewal.
- Following that, the player must proceed towards the entryway through which the player first entered the area. The player must proceed down this path and up another flight of stairs. Continue forward until you reach another ramp with stairs. In this area, the player will face a slew of enemies. After entering this area, the player must proceed to the doorway on the left. This doorway would have been closed if the player had previously visited the area.
- The player will then find a spiral set of stairs inside this room. After that, the player must proceed up this flight of stairs. After climbing the stairs, the player must proceed up the ramp with many planks of wood. In addition, turn right and follow the path through a doorway. The player must enter the entryway and descend the stairs. The player will come across an Umbral Flowerbed and a closed door nearby. The player must then proceed to the wooden stairs on the left. The player will come across a ledge with a wooden ladder just ahead of the end of the wooden set of stairs. The player must descend the wooden ladder.
- Next, the player must enter the doorway directly in front of the ladder at the bottom. The player must then exit this room via the doorway on the right. The player will then arrive in an open area to face more enemies. Now, the player must take the road on the left. The player must continue forward through this path to go through a slightly narrow path. Proceed to the next entryway on the right. An enemy is going to shoot fire at the player outside this opening.
- Then, once inside, the player must head for the next path on the left. Near the end of this path, where the player will encounter enemies, the player must take the path on the right. However, the player must soulflay to cross this path. It is recommended that the player plant a Vestige Seedling in this location so that you have a checkpoint in this region. After that, the player must pass through the arch on the left, where the player will encounter many more enemies. Here, the player must go towards the path on the left, which will head down. At the end of the path, pass through another doorway on the left that leads to an open area.
- In this open area, the player must defeat The Lightreaper to continue. After successfully doing that, the player must follow the walls of the open area on the left from the doorway used to enter this area to find another opening. Follow this path until the player reaches a closed gate. Andreas of Ebb will enter the alley and fight the player before the player reaches the gate. To proceed, the player must now eliminate him.
- After defeating Andreas of Ebb, the player must soulflay to cross the gate. After passing through, the player must take the path on the left. The player will encounter numerous enemies while on this path. Close to the end of the path, the player must proceed to the open area on the left, which is teeming with enemies.
- The player will come across a stone bridge with a large barricaded door at the opposite end on the right of the open area. The player must then proceed to this location to face The Iron Wayfarer. To proceed, the player has to eliminate this mini-boss.

4. Faithful Bludgeon
One of the most recommended weapons for a Strength-based build is the Faithful Bludgeon. Because of that, this could be perfect for an OP build. Part of the Rhogar faction, the Faithful Bludgeon is a large and potent melee weapon. This weapon is a Grand Hammer-type weapon with a weight of 34.4.

- Lastly, the player can approach the item on the grind and interact with it. Finally, the player has now acquired the Faithful Bludgeon Grand Hammer!
Shields
The player can use shields to deflect incoming attacks and lessen the harm they will receive. Equipping shields can also help make the player tankier for most OP builds. This is especially useful if the player is only using a one-handed weapon. The following are the recommended shields for the most OP build in Lords of the Fallen:
1. Shield of Whispers
Shield of Whispers is a heavy, organic shield that appears to have been built around a corpse. Its superiority in fending off physical, holy, fire, and wither damage makes it a very strong and versatile option. The Shield of Whispers is classified as a Heavy Shield with a weight of 40.0.
Also, the player must first have a Strength stat of at least 35 to use it. It requires one of the highest Strength stat requirements and is incredibly heavy, but the work to grind and wield it is worth waiting for.
The following are the block protection stats of the Shield of Whispers: a Physical protection stat of 72%, a Holy protection stat of 74%, a Fire protection stat of 74%, a Wither protection stat of a whopping 85%, and a Stability stat of 74%.
This shield provides very high protection at the expense of being very heavy. With enough upgrades, the Wither protection stat of the Shield of Whispers can reach 95%. This makes it very helpful against withering damage, which may prove challenging.
How to Get
The player will be able to find the Shield of Whispers down below the Sunless Skein Mines. To find this heavy shield, the player must do the following:
- First, head to the right from the Vestige of Hooded Antuli in the Sunless Skein and drop down the train tracks. From here, the player must follow the train tracks inside the mine.
- Next, while following the train tracks, the player will reach an open area and enter another narrow path. Eventually, the player will reach a locked gate. The player must then head for the opening on the right and follow its path.
- The player will find an Umbral gate while on this path. To pass this gate, the player must use the Umbral Lamp, shine it on it, and pass through. The player must then continue on the path to discover another Umbral Gate. Again, the player must shine the Umbral Lamp on the gate to pass through it.
- After that, once the player is through, the player must drop down a pit to land on a poisoned area. To avoid being poisoned while navigating the area, the player can switch to Umbral. Upon dropping into the murky waters, the player must then head towards the path on the left. Near the end of the path, the player must take the path on the right. At the end of this path, the player must head for the next path on the right.
- Lastly, while on this path, the player must take the next turn on the right to find something glowing on the corner. The player must then approach this glowing item and interact with it. Finally, the player has now obtained the Shield of Whispers!
2. Lucent Sword Shield
Another great shield that can help the player attain the most overpowered build is the Lucent Sword Shield. This shield is ideal for a strength-based build. The Order of the Lucent Sword owns this shield, which excels at defending from physical attacks while offering moderate defense from holy and fire damage.
The Lucent Sword Shield is a Medium type shield weighing 8.3. It is a medium shield with a good balance of light and heavy shields. The Lucent Sword Shield is undoubtedly considered one of the most formidable shields in the game that the player can use even against the most difficult bosses.

How to Get
The player will be able to find the Lucent Sword Shield in The Empyrean. Before this, the player must first have the Empyrean Church Key. The player can get this key item inside a chest in the same area. To get the Lucent Sword Shield, the player must perform the following:
- First, starting from the Vestige of Iorelo the Cursed Knight in The Empyrean, the player must head to the right to find a large door. The player can open this door using the Empyrean Church Key. Once this huge door is open, the player must head inside, where the player will find three pairs of Abiding Defenders.
- After that, inside, the player must go straight and head up a large set of stairs. Continue forward to find another flight of stairs with a huge statue in between. The player must then continue forward and head up three more stairs. Near the end of the path, the player will find another doorway.
- Then, the player must enter the doorway to arrive inside a church. Here, the player must follow the path forward from the door and past the church benches. After the church benches, the player must head to the left, where the player will find two more Abiding Defenders. In this part of the area, the player will find an altar with a dead body on the floor and something glowing just next to the altar.
- Lastly, after defeating the Abiding Defenders, the player must approach the glowing item next to the altar and interact with it. Finally, the player has now acquired the Lucent Sword Shield!
3. Heavy Memento
Heavy Memento is a dual-quality heavy shield made from a damaged stone statue. This shield is skilled at preventing fire damage while also providing strong stability.

Remembrance of the Sundered Monarch

Here, the player must follow this path through an opening on a wall and up a ramp.
- Then, on top, the player must take the path on the left, where there are more enemies. While on this path, the player will find a structure on the left with an open fire.

- Then, once the lift stops at the bottom, the player must head for the doorway to exit the room. Here, the player can find an Umbral Flowerbed where the player can plant a seed. From here, follow the path on the right, then head down a flight of stairs. Because of this, the player will now start going to the left. While following this path, the player must take the next path on the left, where there are four flights of stairs: one short, one slightly taller, one the tallest of the three, and another slightly shorter than the last. On top of the third flight of stairs, the player will face a few enemies.

The player can plant a seed in this area. Once that is done, continue on the path on the left, where the player will find the Map of Bramis Castle near a ledge.
- Following that, the player must drop down the ledge at the end to land on a winding set of stairs. Head up the stairs and destroy the boxes at the top to enter a large room. Here, the player must follow the path on the right to find a door on the right wall. Approach the door and interact with it to open it and head inside. Here, the player will find a ladder on the right that they can drop to create a shortcut to and from the previous seed.
- Afterward, exit the previous door and head to the opposite side of the room to find an opening. The player must pass through this doorway and take the path on the right.

Eventually, the player will head outside and reach an open area with a large flight of stairs. The player must head up the high stairs to find a sorcerer. The player must now eliminate this sorcerer to continue.
- Next, after defeating this enemy, the path up the stairs is cleared. The player must now continue heading up the large flight of stairs. Finally, the player will now face The Sundered Monarch at the top!
- The player must soulflay the Stigma once this colossal boss is defeated. Through this, the player will get two Umbral Scourings and, finally, the Remembrance of the Sundered Monarch!
Molhu
The player can go to the chamber at the side of the Main Hall in Skyrest Bridge to find Molhu. To locate Molhu, the player must do the following:
- First, from the Skyrest Bridge’s Main Hall, the player must head left and upstairs. These stairs lead into a room. The lamp will begin to glow brighter and make a sound once the player gets to the top of the stairs. This means there is something significant in the Umbral Realm.
- Next, the player can use the Umbral Lamp to search the area for Molhu. Upon finding Molhu, the player must cross to the Umbral Realm while holding out the lamp to interact with Molhu.
4. Ravager Greatshield
The Ravager Greatshield is a heavy shield that the formidable Ravagers favored. This well-rounded shield protects against physical, holy, fire, and wither damage. As a result, it is a reliable choice for various combat situations. As mentioned, the Ravager Greatshield is a heavy shield weighing 35.0.

Armor
Players can choose whichever they want when creating the most OP, Strength-based build. It is more important to prioritize weight for the player’s weapon, ranged weapon, and shield. However, if the player’s weight capacity still allows, it is advised to use heavy armor. This is because, with an overpowered Strength build, the player will have to execute melee attacks most of the time.
This means the player would have to get close to enemies and be vulnerable to attacks. With heavy armor, the player is supposed to receive the least damage possible to survive for longer. For this, the recommended armor set is the Paladin’s Armor Set.
It is important to remember that even though the Paladin’s Armor Set is great, the player should not be confined to it. Upon reaching the latter parts of the game, the player can upgrade to different armor pieces based on the player’s defense needs and weight availability.

How to Get
Fortunately, the Paladin’s Armor Set is the starting armor of the Dark Crusader class in the game. This is great, as this is the most recommended class to get the most OP build in Lords of the Fallen. If this is not the class the player chose, they would have to get the Paladin’s Armor Set elsewhere.
Even though there are four pieces in the Paladin’s Armor Set, the player can find each piece of this armor set in the same location. The player will be able to obtain all the pieces of the Paladin Armor Set from a corpse in the Abandoned Redcopse area.
Before the player can get the Paladin Armor Set, the player must first face and defeat the Paladin’s Burden boss. This is part of the game’s ‘Paladin’s Request’ questline. After soulflaying the final stigma in the Path of Devotion area, the player can find this optional secondary boss. After defeating the Paladin’s Burden boss, the player must obtain the Umbral-Tinged Flayed Skin that this boss drops.
After obtaining the Umbral-Tinged Flayed Skin, the player can now try to acquire the Paladin Armor Set. To get the Paladin Armor Set, the player must do the following:

- After that, the player must cross to the Umbral Realm to continue. Once that is done, the player will find a large door up ahead. Approach the door, interact with it, and, on the prompt, select ‘Use Umbral-Tinged Fayed Skin’ to open it. After doing so, the door will disappear for the player to access the next area.
- Following that, the player must continue down the path, which is made up of very large bones. After crossing it, the player will find a corpse with something glowing.
- Lastly, approach the glowing item and interact with it. Finally, the player has the Paladin Helm, Paladin Armour, Paladin Gauntlets, and Paladin Leggings! Not only that, but the player will also obtain the Paladin Isaac’s Sword.
Pendant
Pendants can greatly help the player have the most OP build by giving the player different special effects. The player only has one pendant slot to use. For this, the Warrior’s Claw pendant is recommended.
Warrior’s Claw
When equipped, the Warrior’s Claw pendant boosts the player’s physical and physical damage by 10%. With an overpowered strength build, equipping the Warrior’s Claw pendant will help the player deal with even more physical damage while being able to withstand slightly more physical damage.
How to Get
The player will be able to find the Warrior’s Claw pendant in the Pilgrim’s Perch area. However, before the player can try to get the Warrior’s Claw pendant, the player must first get the Pilgrim’s Perch Key. The player needs this key to reach the Bellroom and find the Vestige of Blind Agatha.

- Following that, the player must continue on the wooden path. At the end of the path, the player will find a ladder that leads down to the left. Climb or slide down the ladder, and once at the bottom, the player must cross to the Umbral Realm to continue. On the right, when facing the recently used ladder, the player will find another ladder on a ledge that leads down. Climb or slide down the ladder and continue in front of the ladder. Eventually, the player will find another ladder on the right pillar leading up. The player must now climb up the ladder, follow the wooden platform around the pillar, and head up another ladder.

At the bottom, the player will find an Umbral Flowerbed. From here, the player must continue following the path on the right. At the end of the path, the player must climb or slide down the wooden ladder on the edge.

1. Mineowner’s Ring
An ancient, tarnished ring called the Mineowner’s Ring raises the player’s maximum stamina and the rate at which the player’s stamina regenerates. As this is the most OP build, the player’s character focuses mostly on strength. With this ring, the player will have a much-needed boost in stamina and regeneration speed.
According to in-game lore, wealthy nobles and businessmen who co-owned the Sunless Skein mine, a venture infamous for its callous and brutal operation, wore this ring.
How to Get
The player can find the Mineowner’s Ring in the Abandoned Redcopse area. To find this ring, the player must perform the following:
- First, the player must start from the Vestige of Marco the Axe in the Abandoned Redcopse area. From here, the player must face the paths on the left when facing the Vestige. Here, the player will find two paths and must take the path on the left.

2. Melchior’s Ring
The Melchior’s Ring boosts the player’s physical damage output by 3.5% to 5%. This ring also features an image of a boar’s head. According to in-game lore, It symbolizes Melchior’s last-ditch effort to keep his brother safe in Mournstead.
This plan eventually led to a difficult journey that involved a sacrifice. Although Melchior knew that his desperate scheme would endanger his brother, he convinced himself it was essential. This is because Drustan was alone, and nobody would take care of him anyway. For a while, this helped Melchior feel less ashamed.
How to Get
The player will be able to find the Melchior’s Ring in Bramis Castle. However, the player will only find this ring if the player has completed Drustan’s questline. Otherwise, the player cannot find the Melchior’s Ring anywhere in the game.
To start this quest, the player must find and interact with Drustan. The player will be able to meet Drustan right next to a lit brazier inside a cave in Fitzroy’s Gorge. The nearest Vestige to Drustan’s location is the Vestige of Betrayed Eliard.
Once that questline is completed, the Melchior’s Ring will become available in the game. As mentioned, the player can pick up the Melchior’s Ring in Bramis Castle. To acquire this ring, the player must execute the following:
- First, the player must start from where the player fought and defeated The Iron Wayfarer. The nearest Vestige to this location is the Vestige of the Forgotten Guardian.

The player must now follow this path through a wall opening and up a ramp.
- Following that, the player must then take the path to the left, in which there are additional enemies. While on this path, the player will come across a structure on the left that has an opening and is on fire. The player must now enter this structure. To do so, the player must enter the Umbral Realm. The fire will then go out, allowing the player to get inside the structure safely.
