Darksiders 2 Walkthrough Part 16 – Tears of the Mountain, Part 5
In this room Death will need to face down another Stinger Hive. It lingers just at the Northern point in the hall before it turns to the West. Defeat the Stringers and close the distance up to Hive. Tear into it as best you can. Do what yo can to keep the Strings under control. They are still a nuisance and a little dangerous. With the Hive gone go to the West and into the next room.
In here, if you blasted the Corruption Crystals early then you simply need to deal with the 2 Savage Prowlers here and head over to the lever. If you did not blast this site earlier, turn back toward the door after you deal with the Prowlers. To the right of the door you will find a Shadow Bomb Growth. Head over to it, grab the Bomb and throw it onto the Crystals. Either way, the crystals are gone and a lever is exposed. Head over to the lever and throw it. It will start the first flow of water toward the center of the Fort.
Take a moment and jump into the water. Watch the left-hand side as there is a place to run up the Wall and reach a previously inaccessible chest. Just keep looking between the vines until you see a different patch on the Wall. That is your target to get up to the chest. It is only a few yards from the first breaker in the water flow. If you hit that and did not claim the chest, you are very close. Just swim along the wall and look for it.
Jump the breakers after that to make it easily back to large room in the center of the Fort. Head back into the room with the massive aqueduct. Dive into the Water and head through the submerged Tunnel to the South. When the tunnel ends, look around its mouth to find another of the Boatman's Coins. Now head to the Southern Wall and climb up it. Jump from the first to the second plank. Head to the right-hand end of the second and run up to the post to reach the third. Now turn to the left and Wall Run from one wall to the next. You need to pull this off to reach the post and then jump to the next wall and plank. Climb upwards from that plank to find a chest that Death can claim. Jump down into the water and head back over to the planks and climb up them a second time. This time, at the top of the planks, turn to the right. This leads to some vines that Death can climb to the right then up.
At the top of the vines head North into the next room. Death will be attacked by 5 Savage Prowlers. Once he gets through the majority of them then something worse shows up, a Savage Stalker. Just focus on keeping mobile here. The Savage Stalker loves to use a lot swipes than its calmer brethren. Just keep going and avoid getting back into a corner. The rest of the fight should not be anything too hard.
When the fight is over, be sure to chest the Southwestern corner to see if you collected the Boatman's Coin there. It is very easy to accidentally grab in the middle of the fight. If you did not, it is not far out of your way. Turn to the West and go through the door there.
