Lords of the Fallen is a game that challenges you to explore a dark and brutal world, where you will face powerful enemies and deadly traps. But it also rewards you with secrets and hidden areas, where you can Rescue Tortured Prisoner useful items and allies. One of these secrets is the Tortured Prisoner, a mysterious woman who can teach you the art of pyromancy, or fire magic. However, finding and freeing her is not a simple task.
In this guide, we will show you how to get to the Tortured Prisoner, how to unlock her cell, and how to access her shop.
Where to Rescue Tortured Prisoner
The Tortured Prisoner is located in a hidden crypt under the Skyrest Bridge, which connects the entrance to Pilgrim’s Perch and the Catacombs. To get there, you will need the Skyrest Bridge Key, which can be found on a wooden walkway under the bridge itself. You can access this walkway from the Catacombs or from the entrance to Pilgrim’s Perch.
Once you have the key, go back to the bridge and look for a small door on its side. Use the key to open it and enter the crypt. You will see a big spiral staircase leading up to a cell where the Tortured Prisoner is sitting. However, you cannot open the door or talk to her yet. You will need to do something else first.
How to Rescue Tortured Prisoner cell
To unlock the Tortured Prisoner’s cell, you will need to switch to the umbral realm and find three corpses hidden around the crypt. You can switch to the umbral realm by using a special item called Umbral Lamp, which can be obtained from a chest in the Catacombs or from a vendor in Pilgrim’s Perch.
When you switch to the umbral realm, you will notice that some things change in the environment. For example, there will be a ladder on the lower level of the crypt that leads up to a platform where an umbral entity is blocking a doorway. To get rid of it, you will need to use the Umbral Lamp’s Soulflay ability on three corpses that are scattered around the room.
Here are their Locations
- The first corpse is just to the right of the platform with the umbral entity that you can climb the ladder to.
- The second corpse is in the central part of the crypt if you look up and to the left after exiting the causeway.
- The third corpse is down to the side of the causeway. There’s a ladder leading down to a platform opposite it, but you can’t quite reach the corpse from there. Instead, stand on the higher-up platform on the other side and use Soul Flay to pull the platform closer. You can then drop down onto it and Soul Flay the corpse.
Once you have Soulflayed all three corpses, the umbral entity will disappear, revealing another corpse behind it. Soulflay this corpse as well and you will get an item called Searing Accusation, which is a spell casting item for pyromancy.
How to Free and Access the Tortured Prisoner
Now that you have Searing Accusation, go back to see the Rescue Tortured Prisoner and give her this item. She will thank you and tell you her name: Aurora. The next time you rest at a vestige (a checkpoint), she will move out of her cell and leave behind a helmet called Tortured Prisoner’s Head Cage.
You can now find Aurora at the entrance to Pieta’s boss arena, which is located in Pilgrim’s Perch near where you fought Commander before entering Rhogar Realm. She will sell you various pyromancy spells and an Inferno Catalyst, which is another spell casting item for pyromancy.
If you bring her another item called Giant Eyeball after defeating Spurned Progeny boss in Calrath (the last area of Rhogar Realm), she will also return Searing Accusation back to you. However, she will then move again to Spurned Progeny’s boss arena instead. That’s how you free and access Aurora, the Rescue Tortured Prisoner in Lords of Fallen.
