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."

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 by Christmas...
@Shepherd_Tallon definitely worth it. This and lies of p are brilliant.
Now that most performance issues have been ironed out, this game is a solid 9.5/10.
Best Soulslike
This is awesome suppport, fully fledged DLC is a potential then 🧐
Awesome game just with the multiplayer aspect was more active. For those online trophies
@Shakybeeves CI games confirmed the game sold well beyond expectations, so dlc would absolutely be a benefit to them. This studio truly did something special here, and showed creativity goes a long way.
I’m on my third playthrough (Ng+2) to get 3rd ending. Without farming, I have now got to a point where I can apply extra defensive spell and continuous healing while regenerating Mana as fast as I spend it. So basically (apart from some bosses - light reaper (without shield any) and.sundered end boss who basically have ridiculous HP) it’s a cakewalk.
@VatoLoco47
From what I’ve heard you can’t do quests together co-op is that still the case?
@Dragoon1994 Not sure sorry. I only did the online for co-op summons for the boss trophies snd invasions
@VatoLoco47
Ah I see. No problem
