In Lords of the Fallen, it's important to know how to fight well. You can do a lot better against monsters and bosses if you know how moves like Backstab, Soul Drain, Wither Health, Siphon, Parasites, Blocking, and Wither Health work.

Soul Drain: Sneak up on an enemy and steal their soul

Introduction:

The Soul Lamp can hurt an enemy's soul by cutting them off from their own soul. This makes them weaker. The enemy's "spiritual body" shows up after the drain. It does more damage to attack this part.

Tips:

To do the most damage, jump and hit the spiritual body right away after draining the soul.
You can use this skill a lot to beat monsters and bosses in the Underworld.

Wither and Wither Health

Introduction:

When an enemy hits you, some of the damage turns into gray Wither Health. If you hit the enemy, you can get this health back. The gray health will be gone for good if you get hit again, though.

Tips:

If you take damage from Wither, hit back right away to quickly heal.
To stay alive, you need to be able to hit quickly when facing enemies that have "Plague" or "Soul Corruption" on them.

Siphon: Take in souls and turn on mechanisms

Introduction:

A siphon can be used with the Soul Lamp in the Underworld. You can get the souls of enemies or dead bodies, get back lost souls, turn on tools, and open doors in the Underworld.

Tip:

When you use Siphon, it often creates soul sources that you can use to improve your skills or learn new ones.

Shadow Parasites: There Are Threats You Can't See

Introduction:

Bugs that stick to things or dead bodies are called parasites. They show up as a red mist and light up when you get close.

Tips:

Look around with the Soul Lamp to find bugs before they get too big.
Pests can be killed by Ranged Siphon before they can do their job.

Defense and Blocking Mechanics

Introduction:

Some weapons and shields can stop attacks, lessen damage, and make the enemy's stance weaker. You have a chance to respond when you block really well.

Tips:

A helpful hint is that you should block about 0.2 seconds before the enemy fights back.
A heavy shield stops all damage, but it takes a lot of strength to use one.

Staggering and Backstabbing

Introduction:

When you hit someone from behind and they don't know it, you've done a backstab. When you hit an enemy over and over, they can be stunned. If you have the right skills, you can quickly kill elite monsters.

Tips:

Use "Hidden Mark" or "Sonic Spell" spells to hide from your enemies.
When bosses go into a "stagger-to-execution" state, you can hit them from behind for a short time.

Conclusion

To stay alive in Lords of the Fallen, learn how to use Soul Drain, Wither Health, Blocking, Backstabs, and Parasites. This will also help you beat bosses and tough enemies faster.
