How To Free the Tortured Prisoner in Lords of the Fallen

Even though many abilities and equipment can be obtained by exploring Lords of the Fallen locations, some items are hidden by secret merchants. Shortly after you defeat Scourged Sister Delyth and open the door to the hidden crypt, you can find a Tortured Prisoner locked behind the thick metal bars of the cell. At first glance, she will seem crazy, but freeing her will give you powerful pyromancy skills and a unique Tortured Prisoner’s Head Cage helmet. You won’t be able to free the Tortured Prisoner in Lords of the Fallen, but you can help her do it herself.

Lords of the Fallen: All Steps To Free the Tortured Prisoner

First, starting the tell about how to free the Tortured Prisoner, we mean that you have already entered the secret crypt. If not, we have a detailed guide on how to find the Skyrest Bridge Key. But in short, after defeating Scourged Sister Delyth, here’s what you should do:

• Continue along the corridors until you find a large locked door leading to the crypt.
• Go in the opposite direction from the door across the bridge.
• Having reached the skull, turn to the right and use the Umbral Lamp to go along the giant spine, and carefully, activating and turning off the Lamp, go down to the level below.
• Kill all the enemies on the way, go up a little higher, and turn left onto the bone bridge.
• Examine the area using the Umbral Lamp, and you will quickly find the required key on a corpse between the bone bridges.

Once you have the key, enter the secret crypt and grab a new set of equipment from the chest behind the altar. Afterward, go up the stairs, and you will almost immediately notice a prisoner. As we said earlier, you can’t free the Tortured Prisoner in Lords of the Fallen, but you can give her the item to escape. Turning to the Umbral realm, you should look around this large hall and find the Searing Accusation item. This item is behind an Umbral entity that will disappear once you destroy the three corpses hidden in the room.

First Corpse

Switch to the Umbral realm and go down the stairs opposite the prisoner. Jump onto the platform with the tall statue and examine the walls to find a corpse with a blue glow. Destroy it and move on to the next one.

Second Corpse

Go down from the platform opposite where the first corpse was hanging and straight onto the small bridge with torches on both sides. Interact with the stone on the left side of the bridge to move it and jump down. Destroy the second corpse under the thickets.

Third Corpse

While standing on the stone platform, turn around and interact with the blue corpse under the stairs to reach it. Climb the stairs and the second staircase on the right side of the bridge. Destroy the third corpse hanging on the right wall.

Final Step To Free the Tortured Prisoner

Once you have destroyed the third corpse, the Umbral entity next to you will disappear, and you will be able to gain Searing Accusation. Finally, you just need to give this item to the Tortured Prisoner and reload the location.

Returning to the cell next time, you will not see a prisoner here, but you can pick up the secret Tortured Prisoner’s Head Cage helmet. As for the woman, you can meet her near the entrance to Pieta’s boss’s arena. After talking with her, you will receive several pyromancy spells and an Inferno Catalyst that enhances them. In addition, if you defeat the Spurned Progeny boss in Calrath, you can bring a Giant Eyeball to a Tortured Prisoner. As a reward for this item, you will receive a Searing Accusation.

To summarize, here are all the steps you need to go through to save a Tortured Prisoner in Lords of the Fallen:

• Find the Skyrest Bridge Key and make your way into the secret crypt.
• Switches to the Umbral realm and destroy three corpses.
• Find the Searing Accusation and give it to the woman.
• Collect your reward from the cell and near Pieta’s boss arena.
