Vigor is the main currency in Lords of the Fallen, a challenging action role-playing game. You need Vigor to improve your character’s attributes, such as health, stamina, energy, strength, agility, and faith. Also, you can use Vigor to buy items from merchants, such as potions, runes, and armor.
There are several methods to farm Vigor in Lords of the Fallen, depending on your level, gear, and preference. Here are some of the best farming routes with more details on how to execute them:
Pilgrim's Perch
This is an early game method that requires you to have the Pilgrim's Perch Bellroom Vestige unlocked. You need to clear the enemies near the Vestige, enter the Umbral world, and wait for the Red Reaper to spawn. The Red Reaper is a powerful enemy that drops a lot of Vigor, but you can cheese it by luring it to a spot where it will fall to its death. You can repeat this process as long as you want, and also farm the other enemies in the area for more Vigor and LotF items. To do this method, you need to follow these steps:
• From the Pilgrim's Perch Bellroom Vestige, go down the stairs and kill the two enemies near the water.
• Go back up the stairs and enter the Umbral world by using the Umbral Lamp.
• Wait for the Red Reaper to spawn near the water. It will have a red aura and a health bar on the top of the screen.
• Lure the Red Reaper to the stairs and make it follow you to the Vestige. Be careful not to get hit by its attacks, as they deal a lot of damage.
• Once you reach the Vestige, go to the left side and stand on the edge of the platform. The Red Reaper will try to attack you, but it will fall off the platform and die.
• Collect the Vigor and items that the Red Reaper drops. You can use the Lantern's soul fire to collect any Vigor drops you missed.
• Repeat the process as many times as you want. You can also kill the other enemies in the area for more Vigor and items, but be careful not to die or leave the Umbral world, as this will reset the Red Reaper's spawn.
Fen
This is a mid-game method that requires you to have the Fen Vestige unlocked. You need to plant a Seedling Vestige near the entrance of the area, and then kill the enemies that spawn nearby. The enemies are easy to kill and drop a decent amount of Vigor and items, especially if you use the Lantern's soul fire to collect any Vigor drops you missed. You can also equip gear that improves item discovery and use Withering weapons or consumables to increase Rune drop rate. You can sell spare gear and runes between runs for extra Vigor. To do this method, you need to follow these steps:
• From the Fen Vestige, go to the right and cross the bridge. You will see a large tree with a glowing spot on its trunk. This is where you can plant a Seedling Vestige, which is an item that creates a temporary checkpoint.
• Plant a Seedling Vestige on the tree by using it from your inventory. This will create a new Vestige that you can use to rest and reset the enemies.
• Go back to the bridge and kill the enemies that spawn near it. They are mostly spiders and insects that are easy to kill. You can also use the Umbral Lamp to soulflay them and get more Vigor and items.
• Collect the Vigor and items that the enemies drop. You can use the Lantern's soul fire to collect any Vigor drops you missed.
• Repeat the process as many times as you want. You can also explore the area for more enemies and items, but be careful not to die or leave the area, as this will remove the Seedling Vestige.
• When you are done, you can sell your spare gear and runes to the merchant near the Fen Vestige for extra Vigor. You can also use the Seedling Vestige to rest and replenish your health and potions.
Oreha's Well
This is a late game method that requires you to have the Oreha's Well Vestige unlocked. You need to enter the Abyssal Dungeon, which is a difficult solo dungeon that tests your skills and rewards you with rare items. You can also get a lot of Vigor from the enemies and chests in the dungeon, especially if you use the Moth Ring and the Nhelaq Rune to increase your Vigor drops. You can also use the Umbral Lamp to soulflay the enemies and get more Vigor and items. You can reset the dungeon by using the Vestige or dying. To do this method, you need to follow these steps:
• From the Oreha's Well Vestige, go to the right and enter the Abyssal Dungeon. You will see a portal that will take you to a random floor of the dungeon. The dungeon has 10 floors, each with different enemies, traps, and puzzles. The difficulty and rewards increase as you go deeper into the dungeon.
• Kill the enemies and open the chests that you encounter in the dungeon. The enemies are tough and varied, so you need to use your skills and strategy to defeat them. The chests contain Vigor, items, and keys that you need to progress to the next floor. You can also find secret rooms and hidden passages that contain more loot.
• Collect the Vigor and items that the enemies and chests drop. You can use the Lantern's soul fire to collect any Vigor drops you missed. You can also use the Umbral Lamp to soulflay the enemies and get more Vigor and items.
• Repeat the process as many times as you want. You can also try to reach the final floor of the dungeon, where you will face a powerful boss that drops a rare item. However, this is very challenging and risky, as you will lose all your progress if you die or leave the dungeon.
• When you are done, you can use the Vestige or die to exit the dungeon and reset it. You can also use the Vestige to rest and replenish your health and potions.
