Lords of the Fallen Update V.1.1.224 Patch Notes
Xbox Series X|S & PlayStation 5
Mob Density
- We’ve activated a leashing system in which enemies will stop following you after X meters (case-by-case scenario). To avoid crowds of enemies on you, if you happen to rush through a section of a map.
NG+
- Added a new option for NG+ which resets the game world – allows to restart with current character level in the same world
Crossplay
- Crossplay has been enabled between consoles, and PC players will join as soon as it’s stabilized.
3D Photo Mode
- Sometimes the camera of a saved 3D scene in 3D Photo Mode was in the wrong position. Added failsafe for this not to happen.
- Fix door state (opened/closed) and other interactables not being saved in the 3D photo.
AI
- Fixed enemies that could sometimes be spawned in a T-pose at the lower part of the manse.
- Tweaked the navmesh on a small section of Lower Calrath to help AI navigate better in that complex environment setup.

- We found an issue where Pilgrim’s Perch pilgrims could sometimes shoot through certain structures. This issue has now been fixed.
- Crossbowmen have undergone additional adjustments to their behavior in order to make them smarter without increasing their difficulty. This should result in a more engaging and balanced gameplay experience when encountering these enemies in the game.

- A fix has been implemented for archers to keep the arrow in place while applying vertical offset. This is a visual fix for archers that, when aiming at you from slopes, the arrow was being incorrectly displaced. The most visible impact was on the Holy Archer, particularly in the women’s area section.
- An update has been made to the “LookAt” behavior for NPCs to prevent neck snapping when the player gets close to them. This improvement aims to create a smoother and more natural interaction between the player and NPCs.

Lords of The Fallen Gameplay
Lords of the Fallen is an action RPG played from a third-person perspective, offering a blend of melee combat and magical abilities to overcome adversaries. The game draws inspiration from Soulslike titles, emphasizing challenging gameplay. One notable feature is cooperative play, allowing players to team up in the campaign. Additionally, there’s a player-versus-player multiplayer mode for competitive action.
At the game’s outset, players have the opportunity to create and customize their character, selecting from nine distinct character classes. The game unfolds within an expansive, interconnected world, considerably larger than its 2014 predecessor.
This world is unique, featuring two layers: Axiom, the realm of the living, and Umbral, the realm of the dead. A magical lantern enables transitions between these realms. Interestingly, areas inaccessible in one realm become reachable by visiting the other.
Upon death, players shift to Umbral, where they must recover lost experience points by returning to Axiom. Dying in Umbral sends them back to their last savepoint, forfeiting unspent experience points. Savepoints are scarce, but players can craft their own using materials from Umbral creatures. This mechanic adds depth to the game’s challenge and exploration.
Lords of The Fallen Plot
In the 2023 installment of “Lords of the Fallen,” players are thrust into a world set a thousand years after the original game. Their mission is to prevent the return of the demon God Adyr, a menace defeated in the first game. This sequel, developed by Hexworks and published by CI Games, maintains the action role-playing elements of its predecessor. It was released on October 13, 2023, for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S.
Gameplay involves third-person action, allowing players to wield both melee weapons and magic against enemies, drawing inspiration from the challenging combat mechanics of Soulslike games. Players can cooperate in the campaign and engage in player-versus-player multiplayer.
Notably, the game introduces an intricate world structure where Axiom, the realm of the living, and Umbral, the realm of the dead, overlap. Players can traverse between these realms, using a magical lantern, which brings a new dimension to exploration and puzzle-solving.
Dying transports players to Umbral, and returning to Axiom is essential to recover lost experience points. Crafting savepoints from materials collected in Umbral further enhances the gameplay.
