Darksiders 2 Walkthrough Part 46 – The Lord of Bones, Part 5

Welcome to the Eternal Throne itself. There is not a lot to see on deck but you do want to find and talk with Draven for certain. He is another trainer that will teach Death more combat moves. Pick up some new tricks then talk with him some again. Death can ask “Chancellor?” or “I don't know you”. The Chancellor is a sore subject for Draven as he lashes out some at him. With “I don't know you”  to learn who Draven was in life. He says that he hails from the Kingdom of Man. He won his freedom in the arena but then he was drafted into the Dead King's Service.

After that cheery conversation head up the stairs to the doors that lead toward the Throne Room. Attempting to enter is met with resistance as the guards refuse to let Death in. The Chancellor will appear after that and tell Death that he must first prove his worth in the Gilded Arena. Only then he will be allowed to speak with the Dead King. When Death asks where the Arena is the ship shakes as it docks at the Gilded Arena. After that you can talk with Chancellor to learn more about things. Asking after the King leads to a reiteration of the quest on hand (plus Death opts not to spare the Chancellor later) and it leads to the “Your Master” option in the conversation. You can also ask after both “Achidna” and “Argul”, your prey from Thane. Whenever you finish your conversation with the Chancellor is when you finish the quest “The Lord of Bones”.

Before leaving the ship it is important to head below deck. Head down the stairs and turn a sharp left to find the stairs leading below deck. Take them down and smash up the pots and boxes for gilt and potions. Just follow the stairs down to the landing below. At the bottom of the stairs there are 3 things of importance. The first is to the left, a Boatman's Coin in one of the boxes there. Second is the Serpent Tome at the Northern point if the room. The third is a Stonebite that is hidden along the Eastern Wall. Head to the eastern side and face North. You will find the Stone of Resistance hidden behind a curtain.

With all that collected it is time to depart the Eternal Throne and head for the Gilded Arena. Just go back up the stairs. Once on deck turn Draven again and he will have new conversations available. Ask about “The Gilded Arena” to learn the name of your foe, “Gnashor”. This opens up the option “Draven's Success”. (If you have, Death Rides, that will open up the option “Kingdom of the Dead” and Death can question Draven about the Bloodless and be granted their quest). Head North after that to depart the ship and head toward the Arena.
