Lords of the Fallen - Temple Guardians fight and finding the Bloody Flint

After you've killed the Commander, head over towards the area on your right and pick up the audio note. Before fighting the Marauder up ahead, take a right and head towards the nearby portal. Interact with it, then open the chest on the other side and follow the light.

Kill the Rogue when it attacks before heading into the lit-up area. Kill both of the Infected enemies, as well as another Rogue who may be firing shots at you from the shadows. Get up close and smash his face in before he can do too much damage. When all of these enemies are dead, simply open up the next chest to get your Qamar Staff weapon and Energy Shard.

Now make your way towards the next light, killing the Marauder and Rogue who attack. Next, run as fast as you can to the chest while it's still open and grab the Sealed Rune (Small) and the Fire Resistance Shard.

Fighting the Temple Guardians and finding the Bloody Flint

When you've picked everything up, go back through the portal, then follow the path that's to the left. Take the Bloody Flint quest item, then kill the Marauder. Go all the way along to the end of the path and finish off the Rogue, then take the audio note, turn all the way around, and head back to where you picked up the previous audio clip.

Carry on down this new path, kill the pack of Rogues waiting for you, then interact with the checkpoint. If you want to get a little more XP, as well as a tasty new axe weapon, take a left and kill the Temple Guardian. Expect a tough fight here, because his shield stun move will be followed up immediately with a mighty dollop of damage. If you really struggle to kill this opponent at close range, consider using your Gauntlet - just be ready to dodge out of the way of the enemy's charging manoeuvre if you're taking this approach.

There's another Infested creature to your left. It has a higher-than-usual health pool, but once it's down you just need to kill a few more regular enemies towards the end of the path, then use one of your runes on the chest you come to. Take the axe and the Empty Bottle from it, then go upstairs and kill the Temple Guardians - use your Gauntlet to draw them back one by one for a fight on the steps.

When both enemies are dead, make your way back towards the checkpoint and then go through the corridor that's on your left. Make sure you grab the new audio note as you enter, but be ready to fight the Rogue who's guarding it. Ignore the door behind this enemy as it's locked for now.

Keep heading all the way around the next corner, kill the pair of Marauders who are waiting for you, then finish off the Infested that are waiting at the end of this section. Take a left before you reach the archway, then go up the stairs to the left of the locked door.

Kill the Rogues waiting for you at the top, then light the nearby fire to draw the next Rogue out. Go downstairs and kill the Marauder, making a note of this location for later on. For now, go up the small steps and take the Heavy Shield, Buckler Shield and Empty Bottle from the chest.

Interact with the lever to get the gate open and so create a shortcut between this location and the gate near the earlier portal. You can either head straight towards the next boss fight, or go the long way around - we recommend the latter, as it allows you to activate a checkpoint before getting stuck in.

A shortcut to the next fight

If you want to take the quick route, go back towards the Marauder room and then just jump down by the stairs to reach a chest. Take the Magic Resistance Shard, the Guard's Greatsword and the Empty Bottle, then keep walking down the path. Take the audio note as you travel along, then enter the graveyard where the Worshiper is waiting for you.

To take the longer route, go back to the arch, walk through it, and then take the stairs down. Kill the pair of Golems hanging around below you with your Gauntlet, as they're both particularly vulnerable to magical damage. When they're both dead, move forward into the next area and kill the Rogue.

Go through the next archway you reach until you come to another portal and a chest on your right. Take the Steel Sword, Steel Dagger and Ghost Merge Shard from inside, save at the checkpoint, grab the nearby Human Skull, then talk to Kaslo. When you're finished, head left to reach the graveyard, open the gate using the lever, then walk on through to Worshiper, Proving Grounds, Golem.
