Lords of the Fallen - Demonic Guardian, locked chests, Harmony, Dimensions

Our complete walkthrough continues with a guide to making it through the Citadel, and working your way towards the showdown with the Beast.

Once you've saved at the checkpoint, go up the stairs and then enter the next room you come to. Take the audio clip from over on your right, and watch out for the Demonic Guardian to your left. These creatures eventually lose their shield and armour during a fight in order to switch to a devastating pummel assault, so get ready to dodge. When the enemy's dead, take the Human Skull, use the crafting forge if you wish, then go up the next set of stairs.

When you come to the top, kill the Rogue over to the left, then grab the audio note. Go up the stairs just by this clip and kill the pair of Rogues and the Marauder hanging around at the top. Next, fight the Spellcaster who's waiting towards the far end of the hall, but be ready for an ambush from a pair of Rogues while you're fighting your target.

Over on the left-hand side of the wall is a room with two audio notes inside. Take them, then go through the door towards the far end of the hall. Nearby you might see a door that can only be unlocked by spending three Sealed Runes - don't worry about getting through this door yet, as there's just a creature and a locked chest waiting for you on the other side right now.

Go into the next room but keep your eyes peeled for a hidden Demonic Guardian to your left, not to mention an Infected enemy further along. Pick them off one by one, then go up the stairs to the left of this room. Kill the Marauder and loot the Gargoyle and Hawk weapon.

Climb the next staircase and kill the Marauder, then keep moving on until you trigger a cut-scene. Take the audio note from over on your left, then go upstairs once more and pass through the door. Another audio note can be looted from the room on your right, and you should also be able to see the monk whose arm you helpfully chopped off earlier. Talk to him to get an additional quest.

Keep making your way along the hall until you find another audio note, then go upstairs. Ignore the door with the guard on your right for now, and instead head forwards until you come to a crafting forge and a new checkpoint. Save, then use the lift to reach the Citadel top. Look around and take the audio note from the balcony. If you now walk over towards the nearby guards, you'll trigger a new cut-scene before you talk to Antanas.

Use the lift then go downstairs and towards the guarded door we noted earlier. You should be able to find a pair of locked chests here. Next, go down the stairs to your left and kill the Temple Guardian and the Rogue waiting down below. Take the Harmony gear from the chest here - it's an amazing bit of kit for those with a high agility rating.

See the Cpatain and receive a new quest

Make your way through the little opening over in one corner of the room. Kill the Rogue and the Marauder, then take the Dimensions armour from the chest in the corner. Keep going through the door to your right where you should be able to see a Temple Guardian and a Spellcaster. Ignore the locked chest and the locked door here, and instead go up the stairs on the other side. Kill the Demonic Guardian at the top to kick off another cinematic.

When the cut-scene's over, grab the nearby Sealed Rune (Small), then make your way back towards the monk. Next, go and see the Captain to start another cut-scene and receive a new quest. Go downstairs and talk to the men. Use your Gauntlet to clear the magical barrier that's blocking the door. Walk through it to start yet another cut-scene and then begin the fight against the Beast.
