Lords of the Fallen: How To Get The Skyrest Bridge Key

The cast of Friends have released a statement on the passing of co-star Matthew Perry, saying they are "utterly devastated" by the loss of their co-star

Stop for a second and picture your favorite video game developer or publisher. It doesn’t matter their “scale” as long as they’re prominent. More than likely, you can name-drop at least one or two people who are the “faces” of that company. For example, Nintendo has Eiji Aonuma, Shigeru Miyamoto, Doug Bowser, etc. Microsoft has Phil Spencer, Sony has/had Jim Ryan, and on it goes. For Bethesda, they have/had many people who have helped define them over the years for one reason or another. Easily, the one that most people know is Todd Howard. He’s the guy who honestly makes the biggest announcements for the company and helps crank out their best games.

If Todd Howard up and left Bethesda, it would "leave a big hole," says Skyrim's lead designer, insisting that the Starfield director has "an attribute that none of the rest of us did."

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.

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.

After defeating the first major boss in Lords of the Fallen, multiple areas will finally open up for your Dark Crusader to explore. But you might not even know how to access these areas until you’re much, much further in the game. If you want to get closer to the Fief of the Chill Curse, one of the major areas where you’ll find a beacon and a new massive boss, you’ll need to acquire the Fief Key. Getting the key and figuring out where to use it? That can take a very long time. Here’s everything you need to know.

It's been five years since Todd Howard revealed the startling news that yes, Bethesda is going to make The Elder Scrolls 6, and it will be years yet before it actually arrives. It's a virtually unprecedented gap between a game's «announcement» (such as it was) and tangible evidence that something's being done to make it happen, and Howard himself said not too long ago that he regrets handling the reveal the way he did. The obvious question then is, why announce it at all? According to longtime Bethesda designer Bruce Nesmith, the fans basically bullied him into it.

Lords of the Fallen is seemingly linear until after you defeat the first major boss. Once the Hushed Saint is defeated, you’ll gain an optional path you can follow that leads to advanced challenges you’ll only be able to easily overcome much, much later in the game. If you’re eager to explore new regions of the map or just want to grind vigor on tough enemies, you’ll want to purchase the Pilgrim’s Perch key ASAP. Here’s where to find it and what to do with it after you get it.

One of the first areas of Lords of the Fallen is the Forsaken Fen, and it’s worth checking out completely. The Forsaken Fen is a dreary, poisonous bog that’ll aggravate you like some of the cruelest locations in the Dark Souls series. And like any of these games, there are optional bosses you can fight by exploring the unseen corners of each area. One shortcut route is protected by a powerful Umbral enemy called the Mendacious Visage. This challenging creature can only be fought in the Umbral — and it patrols a unique boss arena with extra enemies you’ll need to take out. Learn how to handle the Mendacious Visage optional boss and clear another path through the upper levels of the Forsaken Fen.
