Lords of the Fallen Second Anniversary Patch Notes (v2.0.101)

Second Anniversary Patch Notes (v2.0.101)

This update brings meaningful changes across three key areas: co-op and multiplayer systems, combat and balance adjustments, and UI/UX improvements.

Exclusive Reward

All players will receive an exclusive new sword — Moon’s Judgement — now awaiting you in your inventory.

Stat requirements balanced between Strength and Agility (slightly leaning Strength)
Two Strength sockets, one Agility socket
Higher stagger and visceral damage
Lower stamina cost per attack and reduced weight compared to the pure Strength variant

Magic Improvements

Earlier adjustments made magic less effective than intended, and this patch restores flexibility while keeping balance intact. Spellcasting now feels faster, smoother, and more responsive, with shorter casting times and the ability to dodge out of animations earlier.

Faster Spellcasting – Reduced cast times across early-game spells.
Cast Cancelling – You can now dodge out of casts earlier.
Refined Mana Scaling – Players now receive increased mana with each Inferno and Radiance level increase.
Mana-Stones – Cheaper and more effective, especially early-game.
Spell Accessibility – Lower stat requirements make early-game magic more viable.
Inferno: Pyroclastic Stone, Infernal Hounds, Incinerating Blast
Radiance: Blessed Reflections, Radiant Slash
Umbral: Reduced stat requirements and increased Wither damage across all Umbral spells.
Radiant Spells PvP Damage Increased: Vortex of Torment, Consecrate, Lucent Beam

Magic Nerfs

Reduced overall and PvP damage: Orius’ Judgement
Reduced healing amount: Invigorating Aura
Mana Cost Increased:

PvP Damage Reduced:

Improved Inventory Management

UI / UX Improvements

Dedicated Pause Button – You can now pause the game if you wish. (And if you don’t want to, simply don’t press pause!)
Pop-Up Explanations – New contextual menus explain Shared and Casual Progression modes.
Co-Op Passwords – Prevent unknown players from joining your session.
Co-Op Mode Toggle – Quickly switch between Casual and Shared Progression modes.
Streamlined Co-Op Menu – Cleaner layout and clearer text prompts.
Load Game Menu – Displays more information per save slot.
Settings Navigation – Graphics and Display tabs merged for easier navigation.

Multiplayer

Shared Progression Lag – Improved stability and reduced desync.
Multiplayer Stability – Further optimizations.
Friend Pass Update – Reduced session failures and improved connectivity.

Stamina Adjustment

Sprinting outside of combat no longer drains stamina.

Lighting Adjustments

Several overly dark areas — including Monastery Grounds, Revelation Depths, Sunless Skein, and others — have been brightened for improved visibility and gameplay clarity. Who would’ve thought a dark fantasy could sometimes be a little too dark?

PvP Balance Adjustments

Improved balance between high-level and low-level players in PvP encounters. Previously, higher-level players dealt excessive damage to lower-level opponents. This has been adjusted to create a fairer and more competitive experience.

Bug Fixes

Addressed critical community-reported bugs, including synchronization issues.
Additional fixes for other reported problems.
