Lords of the Fallen can provide a challenging soulslike experience, with numerous mechanics and systems to get used to and a punishing dual-world to survive. Surviving the harsh realms of Lords of the Fallen is often about upgrading and getting better gear, which can mean looking out for resources and collectibles to help players improve their armor, weapons, and more. Minor Fire Salts are one resource that players shouldn't miss out on.
When first exploring the realms of Umbral and Axiom, some players might wonder what to do with Minor Fire Salts and how to use them. As a universally handy resource, players may also wonder where to get Minor Fire Salts in Lords of the Fallen and where they can find more.
What To Do With Minor Fire Salts In Lords Of The Fallen
Minor Fire Salts are a fairly common resource and consumable, quick-access item used to upgrade weapons in Lords of the Fallen and are essentially a bag of salts with flaming properties. Upgrading gear like weapons and armor becomes essential as players progress to survive the game's challenges and testing boss battles. Minor Fire Salts add a temporary buff by increasing a weapon's damage with fire. While players may find some bosses or enemies resistant to fire, particularly in the beginning areas, it's an ideal addition against other, more challenging foes.
To use Minor Fire Salts, players need only consume the item to set their weapon ablaze. However, to access other weapon upgrades, players must wait until they free and locate Lords of the Fallen's Blacksmith, Gerlinde. Once free, players can get Gerlinde to upgrade their weapons and other resources at Skyrest Bridge.
Where To Find Minor Fire Salts In Lords Of The Fallen
Players are likely to find Minor Fire Salts early on in their playthrough, and they tend to spawn by particular areas or have the chance of dropping from certain enemies. For instance, enemy types around the Abandoned Redcopse area, such as hooded foes who cast fiery projectiles, may drop Minor Fire Salts once killed, and it's always worth collecting all loot, identifiable by its golden glow, to see what appears. It's also worth looking out for lava parts of the environment where players can sometimes grab Minor Salts, such as the courtyard just before players fight and beat Pieta in Lords of the Fallen.
Alternatively, players can buy Minor Fire Salts from certain NPCs or traders, such as Gerlinde and Thehk-Ihir, who sell Minor Fire Salts for 250 Vigor. Players can also discover or buy other types of salt-themed consumables that add different types of weapon damage, like Holy Salts.
Lords of the Fallen is now available on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S.
