Blacksmith Location In Lords Of The Fallen
Gerlinde the Blacksmith is locked away in a cell inside a cave in Pilgrim’s Perch. Tosave the Blacksmith inLords of the Fallen, Warp to theBellroomVestige Point and head right to go through a tunnel full of beams. Defeat the cleric enemies at the end and then turn left across the wooden plank.
Get out of the room full of crates and climb the stairs to reach a rotating wooden platform. Wait for it to face the correct way and jump on the platform quickly. Hop to the other side and run to the end of the long wooden platform. Avoid ordefeat the large enemy inLords of the Fallenthen use the stairs to glide down.
Immediately to the right, there’s another ladder with moths flying around it. This is a sign that the lampbearers should use the Umbral Lamp to travel to the world of the dead. Upon traveling to Umbral, use the ladder to go down and run straight ahead, ignoring all enemies if desired.
Go to the top by climbing two ladders and walk across the white narrow bridge to interact with theEmergence Effigies. Once players are back in the Axiom Realm, hop down to the right and defeat the three enemies before going down another ladder.
On the current platform, there is an Umbral entity that’s blocking players from proceeding. It’s advised to defeat all nearby enemies as players need to search thoroughly forsome Soulflay Obstacles in the Umbral Realm. Keep in mind that enemies will keep spawning the longer lampbearers are in the world of the dead in addition to the already existing enemies.
Return to the Umbral Realm and follow the blue roots to find the required Soulflay Obstacles. The first one is found by heading down the bone bridge all the way to the end where there are a bunch of enemies. Look down and remove the tormented obstacle that’s sticking out of the broken shack.
Return to the Umbral entity and climb the white slope found left to remove the second Soulflay Obstacle. The last one is probably the easiest as it’s located on the right side of the entity, near the top of the hill.
Once all three are removed, deal with the final Soulflay Obstacle that’s blocking the entrance to the cave and head inside. Go down two ladders until an elevator appears to the left. Go down one final ladder to find Gerlinde’s cell surrounded by enemies.
