There are 32 Lords of the Fallen bosses that you need to face and defeat in the game. Like any soulslike game, the bosses you encounter in this game are all extremely powerful with different abilities, attack patterns, and quirks. Let your guard down and you could be back at your last Vestige point in a heartbeat. Beating these bosses do offer attractive rewards such as their Remembrances and some of the best weapons you can get.
All Lords of the Fallen Bosses in Order
These are the bosses you’ll encounter in Lords of the Fallen in consecutive order including where to find them and how to beat them:
Holy Bulwark Otto
- Boss Encounter: Mandatory
- Location: Defiled Sepulchre
- Weakness: Burn
The Holy Bulwark Otto is the very first boss you encounter shortly after leaving the tutorial area. Holy Bulwark Otto has some heavy attacks that are easy enough to parry. He may give you the impression of Lords of the Fallen being too easy but that’s only until you realize he’s just a decoy for the real wake up call. You can easily beat Holy Bulwark Otto by parrying his attacks since they’re telegraphed heavily. Once he shows he bends a knee, hit him from the front with a light attack to do a lot of damage.
The Lightreaper
- Boss Encounter: Semi-Optional
- Location: Defiled Sepulchre, Fitzroy’s Gorge, Upper Calrath, Fief of the Chill Curse
- Weakness: Poison, Holy
The Lightreaper rides a dragon-like creature that breathes flames over anything below it. This boss is obsessed with taking your Umbral Lamp for himself and is technically encountered just after you finish the tutorial. However, you’ll likely die but the good news is that you can schedule a rematch. Your first real fight against him will likely be at Fitzroy’s Gorge. Unlike any other bosses, the Lightreaper will change locations. You’re actually meant to die to this boss during this first encounter. Even if you do beat him, the end result will still be the same.
Peita, She of Blessed Renewal
- Boss Encounter: Mandatory
- Location: Skyrest Bridge
- Weakness: Wither, Burn
Peita, She of Blessed Renewal is the first main boss of Lords of the Fallen, not counting the Lightreaper who you’re supposed to lose against. Pieta is encountered in front of the Skyrest Bridge before you can first enter the hub. As the first true boss of the game, you’ll understand just how tough the journey ahead is when you die multiple times to her conjured light lasers.
Defeating Peita requires knowing when to properly counter her attacks. Parrying her is hard due to how difficult it is to tell when she’s done with her combos so dodge until you can be sure you can counter. Peita does leave herself wide open when finishing her attack chains.
Watch out for when she raises her blade in the air as you only have a split second to start dodging before a beam of light hits you. She’ll also enter her second phase where she grows wings on her back. Peita will also occasionally summon a spectral to do an attack before disappearing.
If you’re having trouble with this boss, you can summon the Iron Wayfarer at the side of the entrance to make it easier. After beating Peita, you can find her in the Skyrest Bridge hub as an ally who’ll offer upgrades for your Sanguinarix.
