Darksiders 2 Walkthrough Part 20 – Sidequests, Part 3

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

Found North of the Shadow Gorge, the Shattered Forge is very easy to reach. Alya wants you to dare its depths to return his brother's hammer to him. Head across the small mire and climb up the handholds to reach the entrance of the first viable optional area.

Head down the stairs and turn around. Search along the left-hand side of them to find a narrow passage that leads back to a chest underneath the stairs. From there turn to the North and head on straight through.

In then next room there is a podium with a currently inaccessible chest on it. Head forward and drop down into the water. Swim over to the Northern side of the room and dive down into the depths of the pool here. You will find another of the Boatman's Coins here. Go back over to the South and climb up the handholds. Now circle over to the West and head through the door.

In the next room jump into the water and dive on down. Head for the ruins by the waterfall and dive down. You will find a hole that leads Death into the next room. Get out of the water and head over to the West to find a chest you can open easily which contains the dungeon map. After that head to the East and climb up the handholds to reach the top and the 3 Savage Prowlers that are waiting there for Death. With the Prowlers dead turn to the West and head on through the door.

Time for a good span of Wall Running. Go over to the left-hand wall and start off. Bounce off to to the right at the end of the first and just keep the sequence going until the end. It helps to jump forward from the third Wall Run to make it onto the ledge there. If you miss a jump just swim to the South and scale up the handholds. Using the Lean Leap you can save some time getting back to the starting point.

Once Death makes it over head into the narrow gap in the wall. You need to Wall Run up and then pull off just a few Wall Jumps. It is not too hard to get up but it does take a little effort. Head over to the Western Wall and Wall Run toward the post that is on the wall. Just cross over from there and head down the passage as it winds through.

In the next room you have a few Savage Prowlers come at Death. Defeat them then drop into the pool below. Head over to the right-hand side of the pillar and climb up the handholds there. This will get you to the Shadow Bomb Growth. Grab one and throw it onto the Corruption crystals then shoot it to clear them out of your way. If you return here with Death's Reach, you can grab another Shadow Bomb, head back to the West and throw it at the Corruption Crystals in the area below them. Inside there you will find the unique weapon: “Omega Blades”. After that just climb back out of the pit and head over to the east.
