Lords of the Fallen Seasonal Content Starts Today, New Quests and Gear | Push Square
16.12.2023 - 15:18 / pushsquare.com / Derby County
Successful Souls-like Lords of the Fallen will be patched today with the first of two seasonal updates that bring quests, weapons and armour pieces, and spells to the PS5 game. Offerings of Orius arrives today while Trial of the Three Spirits drops on 21st December 2023, each adding more features and festive decorations and minigames.
With the update downloaded, Offerings of Orius will today add Christmas decorations to the Vestiges spread across the world. You can then try out six new spells like Immolation and Holy Arrow Shot, sample three new projectiles such as Blood Vomit and Explosive Mines, and finally utilise more boss weapon abilities having completed the associated task.
Then, in one week's time, Trial of the Three Spirits allows you to equip snowballs and throw them at enemies or other players invading your game. You've also got three new questlines, three more weapons, and another three armour sets to pursue. A feature requested by the community is also coming to the game: the ability to reset your character's appearance. You'll need to complete a new quest that unlocks the Mirror of Distortion to do so. Other upcoming features include a storage box for up to 2,000 items, the ability to remap gamepad buttons, and new Grevious Attacks.
Except for the Christmas decorations and the throwable snowballs, all this content is a permanent addition to the game so you don't need to worry about missing out on too much. In our Lords of the Fallen PS5 review, we awarded the game a 7/10 and praised its dual-world mechanic and impressive visuals. «Lords of the Fallen is an exciting kind of Souls-like. Whereas many others aim to perfect the formula, Lords of the Fallen’s goal is to innovate.»
Liam grew up with a PlayStation controller in his hands and a love for Metal Gear Solid. Nowadays, he can be found playing the latest and greatest PS5 games as well as supporting Derby County. That last detail is his downfall.
Because what better way is there to get in the Christmas spirit than with Blood Vomit?
I see this for €35.00 on amazon and Smyths atm.
Is it worth a stab at that price?
@Shepherd_Tallon Yes, worth every penny. I've had barely any issues on PS5 and it looks fantastic. Actually great fun to play and the lamp mechanic adds another dimension.
@matikp I might be swayed. I want a fantasy game for Christmas and Return to Moria hasn't had the best reception.
What the hell. I'll do it.
@Shepherd_Tallon 100% yes if you like soulslikes.
@Shepherd_Tallon Yes, very good game. I had been enjoyed every seconds of it. The two world mechanism is just amazing. Just an advice, use throwables, they are quite OP:)
@Tatarimokke @KundaliniRising333
Noted!
Thanks for the feedback. Now I just have to hope it gets here

It should come as little surprise, but the disappointing launch state of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 didn't stop it from being the best-selling game of November in the USA. New data from Circana confirms the FPS topped the charts last month and instantly become the second best-selling title of 2023, just behind Hogwarts Legacy. Interest in the latest entry made the overall Call of Duty series the second-most-played game on PS5 in November, though Fortnite did claim first place.
