For many players the appeal of a Lords of the Fallen modded save is not the Vigor at all. It is the armoury. Both saves on the store list every weapon, ranged ones included, and every armour piece, including PvP sets and exclusives. This post looks at what that library holds, which parts are normally hardest to collect, and how to turn a full inventory into builds you actually enjoy.
The weapon library
Lords of the Fallen sorts its arsenal into families: daggers, short swords, long swords, grand swords, axes, grand axes, hammers, grand hammers, flails, spears, polearms and fists, plus bows, crossbows and catalysts for magic. Scaling runs on letter grades from E up to S, tied to Strength, Agility, Radiance or Inferno, and you can dual-wield to combine two weapons' movesets.
One popular showcase upload counts 194 weapons. Getting all of them legitimately means exploring both realms thoroughly, finishing NPC questlines and trading boss Remembrances, which is why the Weapon Collector trophy takes real dedication.
Boss weapons and Molhu
The flashiest weapons come from bosses. You soulflay the Stigma left after a boss fight to collect its Remembrance plus some Umbral Scourings, offer the Remembrance to Molhu once he has the Bowl of Revelations, then buy that boss's weapons and armour with Scourings. Remembrances and the stock they add to Molhu's shop reset in New Game Plus, so completing the set takes planning. A save that lists every weapon and armour piece skips all of that.
Armour, set pieces and the shrines
Armour uses four slots: helm, chest, gauntlets and legs. Wearing a full matching set gives no extra bonus, so mixing pieces for defence, weight and looks is normal. Weight matters too, because your equip load shapes how the character plays.
The PvP sets are the interesting part of the listing. The three online shrines sell armour for currencies earned only by playing with or against others: the Shrine of Adyr takes Severed Hands from invasions and sells the Knight of Adyr set, the Shrine of Orius takes Pilfered Coins from co-op, and the Shrine of the Putrid Mother takes Plucked Eyeballs earned by avenging fallen Lampbearers. Shop tiers also unlock through community-wide donations, so this gear can take a long time to reach by hand.
Runes, rings and pendants
Weapons and shields start without rune slots and gain them as you upgrade, up to three per item. Each rune has one effect in a weapon and another in a shield, such as faster poison buildup on a blade or poison resistance on a shield. Rings fill two slots and pendants one. Both saves list all runes, rings and pendants, so you can try the strong combinations instead of reading about them. Examples are the Hysteria Pendant for spellpower, Princess' Sting for light-load damage, or the Mineowner's Ring for stamina.
Spells and catalysts
The armoury covers magic too. Spells belong to three schools: Inferno, the fire magic of Adyr, built around explosive area damage; Radiant, the holy magic of Orius, leaning on healing and weapon buffs; and Umbral, death magic that mixes damage with empowering effects. Each school needs its own catalyst, and equipping a catalyst rules out ammunition and a ranged weapon at the same time, so a complete spell list is easiest to enjoy with a respec plan in mind.
Upgrading the gear you choose
Owning a weapon is not the same as having it at full strength. Gerlinde, the blacksmith you free from a cell beneath Pilgrim's Perch, sets up shop at Skyrest Bridge and upgrades weapons, shields and catalysts for Vigor plus Deralium, up to +10 with a Deralium Chunk. With the upgrade materials and Vigor from either save, the bottleneck becomes deciding what to upgrade, not paying for it.
| Gear | Usual route | With a modded save |
|---|---|---|
| Boss weapons and armour | Remembrance offered to Molhu, items bought with Umbral Scourings | Listed as included |
| Shrine PvP sets | Severed Hands, Pilfered Coins or Plucked Eyeballs, plus community tiers | Included as PvP sets and exclusives |
| Ranged weapons | Found or bought during exploration | Included; arrows only on All Unlocks |
| Weapon upgrades to +10 | Deralium in four grades plus Vigor | Materials and Vigor supplied; Gerlinde still does the work |
A quick way to test builds
Start with one Strength weapon, one Agility weapon and one catalyst, upgrade each to +10, and swap between them against the same enemies. Put a Rebirth Chrysalis from Molhu to use (Pieta resets your attributes with it) to move stats around as you settle on a style. The Coffer in Skyrest Bridge holds up to 2,000 items, so you can store the rest instead of scrolling past it.
Both saves include the full gear library. Choose by platform and ammunition needs: the All Unlocks save includes arrows, while the Complete save has bigger stacks. Our modded save guide summarises the differences.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are PvP armour sets really included?
Both listings say all armour, including PvP sets and exclusives. In the game those are normally bought at the Shrine of Adyr, Shrine of Orius and Shrine of the Putrid Mother with online-only currencies.
Do I still need to upgrade the weapons?
Yes. Weapons arrive in your inventory, but upgrades happen at Gerlinde in Skyrest Bridge, using Vigor and Deralium. Both saves supply the materials and Vigor, so it is a quick job.
Is there a bonus for wearing a full armour set?
No. Lords of the Fallen gives no extra effect for matching sets, so mixing helm, chest, gauntlets and legs for stats, weight and appearance is normal.
Do I get every boss weapon without spending Remembrances?
The listings include all weapons and armour, which covers boss gear. Normally you offer each boss's Remembrance to Molhu and buy its items with Umbral Scourings, and those shop unlocks reset in New Game Plus.
Does either save include arrows for bows?
Only All Unlocks lists all ammunition. The Complete save excludes arrows, though it still includes the bows and crossbows themselves.
Where do I keep gear I am not using?
In the Coffer, the storage chest added to Skyrest Bridge in a December 2023 update. Moving spare sets and weapons there keeps your menus short while you test builds, and you can pull anything back whenever your plan changes.
