Lords of the Fallen, the recent RPG adventure following the Souls-like mechanics developed by CI Games, offers an extensive array of weapons at your disposal, much like other titles in this genre.
Similar to the typical approach in other Souls-like games, you have the option to remain loyal to a favourite weapon, even if it initially lacks significant power. Upgrading it is a way to gain a substantial advantage when facing exceptionally formidable enemies.
However, as you advance in the game, the process of upgrading weapons can become somewhat enigmatic. If you find yourself puzzled by this question, rest assured that we've provided a solution in this guide.
How to upgrade weapons in Lords of the Fallen
In Lords of the Fallen, weapon upgrades hinge on two fundamental elements: the acquisition of sufficient materials and the discovery of a skilled individual capable of enhancing your arsenal.
Materials can be gathered within the game world, often discovered in chests or obtained as enemy drops. The necessary materials for upgrades encompass various types of Deralium ore, along with the in-game currency known as Vigor.
As for the proficient individual for weapon upgrades, you'll encounter this character in the Pilgrim's Perch Descent area, immediately following the Bellroom Vestige. Next to this Vestige is an elevator that you must activate, accessible from the lower levels. Once activated, it will serve as a shortcut for a subsequent boss encounter with Gentle Gaverus, the Mistress of Hounds.
Under this elevator lies an area guarded by a shield-bearing enemy and a pack of hounds. Climb down the ladder into this chamber and eliminate the enemies. A shielded enemy will yield a prison cell key, which you can then offer to the blacksmith locked within a cage in the same room. The blacksmith, known as Gerlinde, will relocate to Skyrest, your central hub, after you engage in conversation with her and provide her with the key. Gerlinde and her apprentice will claim the room located to the left of the Vestige as you turn your back on it.
