Darksiders 2 Walkthrough Part 20 – Sidequests, Part 4

Alya: The Hammer's Forge: The Shattered Forge
Suggested Level: 8 – 12

In the Eastern Room on the second floor start by throwing the lever in front of you. This reveals posts and handholds that Death can use to navigate around the room. Start a Wall Run and get over to the other side of the room. Grab one of the Shadow Bombs and throw it at the Corruption Crystals at the Northern point in the room. This clears the way but does not ensure the path is going to be smooth. This means that as soon as Death drops down onto the floor below he is attacked by a Savage Stalker. It, of course, has back up of 4 Savage Prowlers. Just keep moving and it will not be a very difficult fight. Head North after the fight and through the door to claim 2 chests. Just go through the next door to the north after that.

As you make it into the next room a Construct Champion drops into the room as it is sealed, trapping Death inside. Time to start dancing around him and striking hard. Summon up help if you can and tear into the Champion. This fight is not over when it falls though, 4 Tainted Construct Warriors appear and attack Death. This is followed by another Construct Champion coming at Death. It is only after this one that the fight will be over.

Head over to the East and Wall Run between the 2 walls to make it to the other side. After 3 jumps you will be safe on the ground again. Turn to the South from there and go through the door. Just head forward and into the pool below. Among the pillars you will find an underwater passage. Dive into it and come on out the other side and start climbing upwards. At the top you will find a Shadow Bomb Growth. Grab one and throw it to the opposite side of the room at the Corruption Crystals. These are the explosive ones for once so they will detonate on their own. Grab a second and drop to the floor. Head over toward the Northern end and look West. You will find another Corruption Crystal. Throw the Bomb at it and wait for it to blow. Climb up to the West and open the chest there. Now climb up the Wall to the North and use the numerous posts and hand holds to wall run over to the opposite side of the room. When you reach the gates drop down to the hand hold below then start over to the right. Wall Run from the post over to the next hand hold and climb up from there. At the top just head on through the door there and into the room to the East.

Get over the gap and continue to the East. Head for the Northeast corner to start things up again. Here you have a good number of Constructs coming at Death. One Construct Sentinel, which is airborne, and 4 Tainted Construct Warriors. The Construct Sentinel is the trickier opponent as it can activate a shield that will protect it from Death's attacks. Death must hit it when its shield is down. Another 4 Tainted Construct Warriors will appear after the first 4 go down and the Sentinel. With them will also appear a Construct Champion. Defeat all of them and then take a moment to just explore the room, smashing any surviving vases. One of them contains a page from the Book of the Dead in the Northwest corner of the room.

Head to the West to get at the second chest that is waiting for Death. This one contains a skeleton key that is needed to open the door a little while back. Interact with the nearby switch to lower the gate and head to the Southern end of the room where the locked door is. Just head South from there to make it to the formerly unreachable chest. This has Splinter-Bone inside it. Time to return to Tri-Stone and claim your reward.
