No Rest For The Wicked isn't a particularly large game, but it packs a lot of punch in the little package it is wrapped in. The game has soulslike combat, multiple ways to upgrade the player character, and gorgeous environments that make the gameplay very immersive.

Scattered on the island of Sacra is an item that has left players puzzled, called Fallen Embers. These resource materials don't have any apparent use at the start, but become important in the endgame for clearing the "final" dungeon available to players.

How To Find Fallen Embers In No Rest For The Wicked

Unfortunately, there's no consistent way to obtain Fallen Embers. Like the other loot items found within the game, Fallen Embers are random drops players can find in the game. These can appear as drops from enemies, or can be found within chests scattered across the Island of Sacra.

In short, players will need to explore the map and revisit older areas to farm Fallen Embers. There are a handful of locations on the island that can be a good source of these embers. Any location with a concentration of enemies, or lootable chests is a good source of Fallen Embers. The main area of Mariner's Keep, the Potion Seller's cave, or the Orban Glades are good places to farm for Fallen Embers.

Where To Use Fallen Embers In No Rest For The Wicked

Once players have finished the Of Rats and Raiders quest by defeating Falstead Darak for the second time in the Black Trench, a new quest will start, called "Spoken and Unspoken."

  • The player will need to go to the Stonemason's shop, and follow the hole in the floor to reach an underground chamber.
  • From there, follow the instructions of the NPC and offer a blood sacrifice to open the large door.

The blood sacrifice doesn't take up any health points.

  • Once opened, follow the path down to reach the Crucible Chamber.
  • Here, players can offer a blood sacrifice alongside a Fallen Ember to start their Crucible journey.
  • Each attempt will take one Fallen Ember.

The crucible is a dungeon that is much tougher compared to the rest of the game that's been released so far, leaving players no choice but to grind in order to level up. Most people will reach this area around level 17, but the crucible is extremely difficult to clear without leveling up further than the natural progression dictates.

Players can technically do it, but it requires the utmost precision, a comprehensive understanding of every enemy, and mastery over complex mechanics like backstabbing and parrying. The recommended level to attempt the crucible is around 21+, since that's when players will get some of the better loot in the game.
