Follow our comprehensive guide to complete The Deserters side-quest in Lords of the Fallen (2014). Includes walkthrough steps, rewards, and strategies for both outcomes.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Part 1: The Deserters' Request
    • After defeating the Infiltrator boss in the Rhogar Temple, speak to the deserters you encounter as you leave.
  2. 2
    They will task you with killing the Dimensional Beast in the Western Antechamber of the Rhogar Realm.
  3. 3
    This part is optional. If you complete it, you will receive 500 XP and a Dagger (Protector) upon returning to the deserters. You can also give them a potion for an additional 500 XP.
  4. 4
    Part 2: Tracking the Deserters
    • After defeating the Infiltrator and returning to Keystone, a scene will play with a wounded soldier. Grab the Human Tattoo he drops.
  5. 5
    Meet the captain of the guard in Keystone Citadel. He will ask you to kill the deserters in the Rhogar realm and bring back their Human Tattoos as proof.
  6. 6
    There are 5 Human Tattoos in total: 1 found earlier in Keystone Crypts and 4 to be found in the Rhogar Temple area.
  7. 7
    The location of the deserters and their tattoos depends on whether you helped them in Part 1:
    • If you helped the deserters in Part 1: They are found in the Western Antechamber. Loot a dead soldier for a Human Tattoo, and another is found nearby under a tile. You can convince them to attack the Guardian boss. After the fight, loot their corpses for more Human Tattoos and the Trinket (Amulet of the Betrayer).
  8. 8
    If you did not help the deserters in Part 1: Their bodies are scattered from the entrance to the Eternal Flame to the main entrance of the Temple. Loot each body for a Human Tattoo. The final body also yields the Weapon (Dagger – Defender).
  9. 9
    Collect all 5 Human Tattoos.
  10. 10
    Return to the guard captain in Keystone Citadel.
  11. 11
    You will be rewarded with 1,000 XP and a Trinket (The Great Burden).
Tips
  • Convincing the deserters to attack the Guardian boss can be a strategic advantage, allowing you to loot their valuable items after the fight.
  • If you missed the Human Tattoo in Keystone Crypts, you may need to rely on finding the deserters in the Rhogar realm to complete the quest.
  • Part 1 (Optional): 500 XP, Weapon (Dagger – Protector), additional 500 XP for a potion.
  • Part 2: 1,000 XP, Trinket (The Great Burden).
  • Additional loot if deserters attack Guardian boss: Human Tattoos, Trinket (Amulet of the Betrayer).
