The developers working on Lords of the Fallen promised to deliver new free content as part of their roadmap. After the Pumpkin Patch, Lords of the Fallen released another update that brings a new questline, which is called the Way of the Bucket. This particular patch was accompanied by a riddle that requires a certain degree of effort to solve. Before players do anything else, they must update their game, so the patch is active.

Lords Of The Fallen: Best Grand Swords, Ranked

Grand Swords in Lords of the Fallen are sort of a niche category of weapon, surprisingly. Among all of them, these Swords are the best of the best.

How To Start The Way Of The Bucket Quest

In order to start the quest, players first need to warp to the Vestige of Chabui. Go up the two ladders and move toward the area with barrels. Destroying them will reveal an iron grill that blocks the path. Use the Umbral Lamp to get past it, and the NPC will be sitting on the ground. Pick up the items lying near him, one of which should be the Broken Bucket. The Bucketlord won't talk immediately, so head back to the Vestige and go outside.

Take a left and go up the stairs, and then drop on the barrels below. Clear out any remaining objects and pick up the Bucketlord's Salute. Equip the Broken Bucket as the weapon and add the Bucketlord's Salute as a Gesture.

After collecting four buckets, players must return to the Bucketlord and hand them over. Do not carry more than four buckets, as it will cause the quest to fail.

Once players hand over the first four Pride of Bucketlords, they will receive Bucketlord’s Shoes. The next four will earn them Bucketlord’s Helm. Upon finding and delivering the 12 items, the Bucketlord will give players a hint about the big treasure. He will say, "Seek gold amidst flames."

Now, it's time to go back to the Slums of Calrath. Go through the area until the large tree is in view. Run toward the end and climb the stairs. Head through the open door to obtain the Gilded Bucket.
