Reach the Radiant Ending in Lords of the Fallen to unlock a holy-based class.
By Jason Rodriguez on
The Lords of the Fallen Radiant Ending is one of three possible ways to conclude your campaign. The journey will be long and perilous, often taking you to areas crawling with enemies. These all lead to a climactic encounter. Our guide discusses how to unlock the Radiant Ending in Lords of the Fallen, which also nets you the Radiant Purifier class. Likewise, please be reminded that this article contains major spoilers.
The Lords of the Fallen Radiant Ending can be unlocked if you cleanse all five beacons. This makes it the most straightforward out of all three potential endings in the game. From there, you have to venture deeper into Bramis Castle and defeat Adyr, the Bereft Exile.
The five beacons in Mournstead can be found in the following locations:
Bear in mind that each beacon is guarded by a Heresy-type boss (i.e. major boss or great foe), not to mention other bosses and elites that can be encountered along the way. As such, you need to be ready for these challenges.
It's also worth noting that cleansing beacons can lock you out of the Rhogar Ending and Umbral Ending. Getting all three won't be possible in a single run, and you may need to use backup saves that still require you to spend numerous hours replaying entire portions of the game.
Once all five beacons have been cleansed, you're one step closer to reaching the Lords of the Fallen Radiant Ending. Here's a quick summary:
The final boss if you want to get the Radiant Ending in Lords of the Fallen is Adyr, the Bereft Exile. Yes, it's the demon god you've heard about since the start of the campaign. Funnily enough, this encounter doesn't involve fighting or damaging him directly.
Here's what you can expect from the Lords of the Fallen Adyr final boss encounter:
Once Adyr's HP has been fully depleted, a cutscene will trigger. Your character will bring out the Umbral Lamp, its power disintegrating Adyr completely. Then, your character will float in mid-air before being consumed by flames. Well, that doesn't seem like a happy ending at all, eh?
After the cutscene, you'll see a couple of pop-ups:
The Lords of the Fallen Radiant Purifier class has the following notable quirks:
As you can see, the Lords of the Fallen Radiant Purifier class is certainly a lot stronger than the Orian Preacher class, which is available by default. We encourage you to try this class if you completed your initial run as a melee or ranged DPS character, so you can experience a holy magic-based playstyle.
That does it for our Lords of the Fallen Saintly Radiant Ending and Radiant Purifier guide. Since this journey requires you to trek all over the lands of Mournstead, you might want to

There’s a totally optional area of Lords of the Fallen you can find when you’re about halfway through your mission in Mournstead. This creepy underground excavation site is where you’ll find a powerful boss — and a method to access a secret bonus ending. We won’t get into the ending here, but we will explain exactly what it takes to access the Revelation Depths area. You’ll find it hiding right beneath the second beacon.
The spooky Bell Rise is an unofficial location in Lords of the Fallen — the only reference to it you’ll find is a map, but it is an area all the same. The area can be unlocked extremely early in the game, and if you visit right away, you’ll be shocked by the difficulty of the standard enemies here. Everything in Bell Rise is designed for higher level characters. I recommend waiting until after you’ve discovered the second beacon at least — maybe even the third beacon.

Publisher CI Games and developer Hexworks released Lords of the Fallen, its soft reboot of the 2014 Lords of the Fallen, earlier this month, on Friday the 13th. It didn't quite land for us – Game Informer gave it a 6 out of 10 – but a new update that launches later today fixes one of the major problems we had with the soulslike. That's because the new Pumpkin Patch update that launches at 2 p.m. PT/5 p.m. ET today comes with reduced enemy density. Plus, the patch brings full crossplay to the game alongside performance and stability fixes and more.
There’s nothing more devious than Mimics in Lords of the Fallen. Unlike the chests you can test out with a quick attack in other action-RPGs, Mimics are almost impossible to recognize. You can’t listen in for hidden monsters — you’ll just have to use your intuition to see if that item is the real deal or a cruel trap with a killer monster waiting on the other side. Luckily, players have discovered a method that makes dealing with Mimics so much easier. Yes, you can actually destroy Mimics and collect their items. Here’s how to do it.
The first beacon beckons you in Lords of the Fallen. Your first major goal in the story is to defeat the Hushed Saint and reach the first beacon. Your goal in the story is to find and repair five beacons — each one is glowing red in the sky, leading you to an inevitable boss battle. Because the Hushed Saint is such an important boss, he’s also an impressively difficult battle. Unlike the fight against Pieta, you’ll need to learn the value of dodging or you’ll get crushed. Although, there is one very specific moment you’ll want to parry the Hushed Saint to deal maximum damage.
