[BUG] Can't Use Vengeance Targeting After Saving Game – Version 2.0

[Lidi_Melo]

Hi everyone,

I'm currently experiencing a bug in Lords of the Fallen (version 2.0) and would appreciate any help or confirmation from others.

While I was trying to avenge a lampbearer (the red vengeance marker was visible), I had very low HP, so I decided to save the game at a Vestige before engaging. After saving, the red vengeance marker disappeared — which I assumed was normal.

However, now I can no longer use the vengeance targeting mechanic at all. When I hold the lantern and press A, nothing happens. No targeting prompt appears, and no interaction is triggered.

Here’s what I’ve already tried:

Reloaded the game from the main menu.

Died and resurrected both in Axiom and Umbral.

Interacted with other Vestiges and attempted to re-enter areas with vengeance spots.

Closed and reopened the game completely.

Verified I'm not under any debuffs or input locks.

Checked that I'm indeed using the latest version (2.0).


Unfortunately, none of these steps have resolved the issue.

Has anyone else encountered this? Any suggestions or temporary fixes would be appreciated. If it helps, I'm playing solo (not in co-op), and this issue has persisted across multiple game sessions.

Thanks in advance!

Have you tried trying another area? You could also try joining co-op and getting revenge with a host, maybe that'll clear your 'flagged' status. also try using vengeance mirror thingies.

Thanks for the suggestions!

I think I may not have explained it clearly in my original post. The issue is not with activating vengeance or fighting a lampbearer.

The problem is that the function that shows the direction you're supposed to go (the guidance mechanic) no longer works. Normally, when I hold up the lantern and press A, it would create a trail or highlight a direction — but now, absolutely nothing happens when I try that. No visual cue, no effect.

This started happening right after I saved the game while a vengeance marker was active, and the red marker disappeared.

Ah- thats not what i expected. Occasionally the trial leads you to a 'empty' spot but in reality its on the umbral plane. Maybe finding and killing the mob will fix it. I'd make sure if your vestige hint it working. Pull out your lamp and press A on your controller to see if the butterflies were disabled all together.

nothing happens at all when I hold the lantern and press A. No butterflies, no trail, no visual effect of any kind.

So it's not just pointing to an Umbral location — the guidance mechanic itself seems to be completely disabled

That is a really bad bug, and I have no idea how to help you. I'm sorry :(
