1) Sanctuary
You will initially find Damarose at the Sanctuary. Use the Vestige of Chabui to reach the location. Climb the two sets of ladders on the left of the vestige to reach the area’s upper level. Move along the path across the thin wooden bridge.
Move left and drop down from the hole in the ground. You will find Damarose to the left, waiting for your arrival.
2) Pilgrim’s Perch
Use the Vestige of Blind Aghada to reach the location. Here, you must free Gerlinde from her cell. Use the elevator to the right to head down the area. Drop down from the path to the left. Kill all the enemies in the area and collect the Prison Cell keys from the ground. You will need them to free Gerlinde.
Use the ladder next to Gerlinde’s Prison Cell to head up the area. Follow the path to the left and use the lever at the end to call the elevator upwards. Take the elevator down to meet Damarose at the end.
3) Fitzroy’s Gorge
You will also find Damarose at the Fitzroy’s Gorge. Travel to the area using the Vestige of the Pale Butcher. Follow the path to the left of the Vestige and drop down the area. Head up the hill and follow the path left. You will find a wooden platform to reach the next area.
Continue following the path to the left and enter the tunnel. Head up the hill ahead after exiting the tunnel and go up to find Damarose the Marked at the end on the cliff side.
4) Bramis Castle
The final location where you will find Damarose, The Marked in Lords of the Fallen takes you to Bramis Castle. You will find her behind the gate next to the elevator you took to the sewers. This gate will be blocked outside the elevator room.
Also, note that the elevator is marked as the vestige “Calrath” in your warp-points list.
How to defeat Damarose The Marked
Damarose the Marked only has a single phase of the fight. So, it is quite easy to defeat her if you have the recommended items in your inventory. Damarose starts the fight aggressively. She possesses four attacks in her arsenal. These attacks include Cleaver Strike, Imbued Cleaver melee attack, Flamethrower, and Fire Projectiles.
Cleaver Strike
Damarose, the Marked will use her Cleaver to swing at you. This is a melee attack, so you just need to dodge or block the attack as it comes. When you see Damarose sprinting at you to go for the swing, move away in the opposite direction.
Imbued Cleaver melee attack
After failing to strike you with the standard Cleaver strikes, Damarose imbues the Cleaver with fire. This will deal enough damage to knock your HP down to half if it connects. So, put some distance between yourself and the boss. The best strategy is to block this attack when Damarose lunges at you.
Flamethrower
The flamethrower is the boss’s secondary attack. She will use this attack during the final stages of the fight. She throws a stream of fire from her palm that persists for a couple of seconds. The best way to prevent getting damaged is by side-stepping out of the way.
Fire Projectiles
Damarose will use a fire projectile as her last attack. She summons a few marks above her, turning into massive fireballs aimed at you. The worst part about them is that they expand over time. So the best way to avoid them is by keeping a safe distance from the boss as soon as you see the marks appearing above her.
The biggest weakness of Damarose the Marked in Lords of the Fallen is that she can’t attack you when you are on her side. You can use this window of opportunity to move to her side after she performs her attack and follow up by using your weapons to defeat her.
Since she has a lot of fire attacks, make sure that you bring Burn Cure, Burn Resistance Balm, and Fire Wards for protection.
