Lords of the Fallen walkthrough, guide and boss strategies

If you've found yourself with a Dark Souls-sized hole in your life between DLC and sequel releases, Lords of the Fallen should go some way towards filling it - even if the overall execution isn't quite as compelling as that of its obvious source of inspiration.

Nevertheless, you'll find an entertaining assortment of grim creatures here, wandering around and making the place look untidy, not to mention plenty of intimidating boss creatures that want nothing more than to plant a sword through your face. These latter fights can put up a pretty stiff challenge too, so Souls aficionados should find plenty to enjoy here.
