How To Get Saintly Quintessence in Lords of the Fallen (Upgrade Sanguinarix)

In soulslike games, surviving challenging enemies can be a heavy task. This is where healing comes into play, and in Lords of the Fallen, you will need to use and upgrade your Sanguinarix Flask to heal. If you are familiar with Dark Souls, this tool is similar to the Estus Flask. To improve the flask and get more healing power, you will need to get Saintly Quintessence in Lords of the Fallen. Unfortunately, these items are scarce and pretty hard to obtain as you will need to deal with dead souls of Umbral throughout your playthrough.

2. Pass into the Umbral realm if you haven’t dealt with the boss there.
3. You’ll find a bloated body hanging on the wall, and Soul Flaying it will reveal the Saintly Quintessence.
