Blades Of Fire: Life Criptexes Locations & Interactive Tracking Guide

In Blades of Fire, "Life Criptexes" (often confused with Forge Criptexes) are artifacts that increase the Efficiency of your healing items and the potency of Nerea’s Tears.


While Health Gems increase your total HP bar, finding these Life Criptexes is what allows your "Healing Phial" to restore more health per charge.


If you enter an area containing a Life Criptex, Adso will mention that the "air feels rejuvenating" or "pulsing with vitality." This is your indicator to stop following the main path and look for side-caverns and other hidden areas.


As these artifacts dictate and affect your chances of survival, their locations (also listed below) have been marked on our interactive Blades of Fire wiki-style maps.
