In the world of Lords of the Fallen, to effectively enhance your weapons and personal skills, it is recommended to explore Rune Tablets. These tablets grant access to unique abilities, including a crucial decision - whether to free the imprisoned Gerlinde or give the Tablets to Spark.
Gerlinde is a skilled blacksmith and a pivotal character capable of improving your weapons and armor. She also mentions that her skills can be expanded if you find Rune Tablets. There are three in total, and each Rune Tablet empowers Gerlinde with the ability to embed runes into your weapons and shields.
Locations of the Rune Tablets
Rune Tablet with Cracks
The first Rune Tablet can be found in Fitzroy's Gorge, inside a cave in the middle of the area. To locate it, cross Umbra's Bridge and proceed forward through a crack in the wall. This will begin your encounter with Drustan, and afterwards, you will find the Rune Tablet with cracks above the main path.
Broken Rune Tablet
The second Rune Tablet can be found in the Upper Calrath Mining District on the main path. After advancing deeper into the building, you'll open a door and encounter some enemies near a fireplace. Inside the fireplace, you will find the Broken Rune Tablet.
Rune Tablet
The final Rune Tablet is located in a chest in the Tower of Penance. To find it, descend several floors down to a level with a grated floor, where the chest is situated.
The choice between freeing Spark or giving him the Rune Tablets awaits you after collecting the last Tablet. Giving the Tablets to Spark not only earns you an achievement but also teaches you how to enhance your equipment without Gerlinde's assistance. This significantly enriches your gaming experience, allowing you to improve your weapons and add runes without additional aid."
