How to Unlock Sanguinarix Upgrades in Lords of the Fallen
First, to upgrade the Sanguinarix, progress through the story and the main bosses until you fight and defeat Pieta, She of Blessed Renewal. You fight her fairly early in the game, as she is the first main boss.
However, she is far from easy to defeat and the best tip is to attack only when you get an opening without becoming too greedy. It’s a fight that helps you become familiar with the game’s main mechanics.
Once you defeat Pieta, travel to the Vestige of Ethryg and go to the Skyrest Bridge. Interact with Exacter Dunmire there and after a short dialogue, access the nearby Vestige and you’ll meet Pieta as an NPC.
From now on, Pieta will serve as an NPC that can help you upgrade the Sanguinarix once you give her Saintly Quintessence.
Keep in mind that upgrading the Sanguinarix is essential if you want to heal in Lords of the Fallen.
How to Get Saintly Quintessence
To upgrade the Sanguinarix, you must collect Saintly Quintessence from all around the map. Overall, players have reported about 16 total Saintly Quintessence around the map.
The best tip to get Saintly Quintessence in Lords of the Fallen is to constantly use your Umbral Lantern and look for hidden paths, check every merchant as some have it for sale, and complete any quests and side bosses in your way.
Each upgrade will increase the amount of Sanguinarix uses between rests as well as the healing efficiency each time it’s used.
Keep in mind that while the first upgrades only require one Saintly Quintessence, consecutive upgrades will require more than one.
Wrapping up
In conclusion, to upgrade the Sanguinarix in Lords of the Fallen, defeat Pieta, and find her as an NPC in Skyward Bridge.
Then, bring her Saintly Quintessence that can be collected from various locations on the map and she’ll increase the number of uses and healing efficiency of your Sanguinarix.
