In the grim dark realm of Lords of the Fallen, advancing NPC questlines often requires obtaining specific key items tied to formidable boss encounters. One crucial item that players must retrieve during their journey through Axiom is the Dark Crusader's Call. Securing this unique item requires confronting deep subterranean threats and navigating the intricate quest of Exacter Dunmire.
Locating the Boss and Defeating Harrower Dervla
To acquire the Dark Crusader's Call, players must journey deep into the Revelation Depths. At the bottom of this treacherous area, you will encounter Harrower Dervla, the Pledged Knight, guarding the depths. Victory in this initial clash forces the boss to transition into its terrifying second phase, known as The Unbroken Promise.
Overcoming this multi-phase encounter requires strict attention to positioning and timing your dodges carefully. Utilizing holy or elemental resistances can significantly reduce the pressure during her aggressive phase transitions. Once defeated, the boss drops substantial Vigor alongside the essential Dark Crusader's Call item.
Delivering the Dark Crusader's Call to Exacter Dunmire
After claiming victory in the Revelation Depths, return to Skyrest Bridge to locate Exacter Dunmire. Presenting the Dark Crusader's Call advances his narrative arc toward its final stages. Ensure that you have handed over all prior required quest items so that he accepts this critical turn-in without issue.
If Dunmire does not offer new dialogue immediately, try resting at a nearby Vestige to reset the area. Progressing his dialogue fully will prompt him to relocate to new locations as his quest nears completion. Missing this step can stall your progress in unlocking unique rewards tied to his research.
Unlocking Secret Classes and Quest Rewards
Obtaining the Dark Crusader's Call is closely tied to the broader lore and class unlock progression in Lords of the Fallen. Players pursuing the secret Dark Crusader starting class must complete key NPC interactions across the campaign. Defeating the bosses associated with these paladin relics ensures your access to specialized armor sets and weapons.
Furthermore, defeating The Unbroken Promise awards Remembrance items that can be traded with Molhu in Skyrest. Players can exchange these Remembrances for powerful boss gear and specialized spells. Taking the time to finish these linked encounters enriches both your character build options and your understanding of the game's dark lore.
