Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem Walkthrough and Guide

Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem is an open world action-RPG that is set in a corrupted world that is falling apart. You play the role of a former soldier, forced to flee the death penalty because of your magic powers. These powers manifest in the middle of a demonic incursion and transform you into an Aspect of the Apocalypse, a divine being capable of wreaking havoc on the battlefield. This sudden change turns you into a pariah among your brethren. Check out our Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem Walkthrough and Guide to get help in the game.

Initial Equipment

Immediately after you start the game you will be asked to choose your initial equimpment.

Combine Weapons

There are no classes in Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem so your character will be able to use any kind of weapon without any restrictions and regardless of the initial equipment you chose at the start. Take advantage of this to create a hybrid fighter capable of weilding a variety of different weapons instead of sticking to the classic warrior, archer, mage. You do need to remember though when doing this that the skills are tied to the weapon. Check out our Tree of Skills Guide to find out how to best spend your Skill points.

When you have no free space left in your inventory press the 'T' button to open the portal to the city and sell all the useless junk you collected to the traders there.

Unique Equipment

During a story mission keep an eye out for the merchant named Fate-Adjucatrix Zeitgeis or simply the Spirit of Time. This NPC appears randomely and will have in her possession unique equipment (accessories, armor and weapons) you can purchase.
