Darksiders 2 Walkthrough Part 4 – The Fire of the Mountain, Part 1

Death appears in a dying world. He begins talking with an elder giant, Eideard. He tells Death that his world stands on the verge of death that its World Tree is dying and with it the Giants of the world. Just as Death tells the old giant that the state of his world means little to him the Nephilim is attacked by a a Construct Warrior. Defeat the first one and a trio of Construct Warrior appear shortly after. Defeat them all one by one. Remember to dodge as you see their arms rise before their attack.

Once the fight is over Death can talk with Eideard and learn more about him and the tree itself. After the talk Death will gain a level. You can now invest into either of the 2 skill trees that Death has available to him: Harbinger and Necromancer. After that, turn around and head over to the right. You will find a small archway that leads to a statue standing over a chest. Loot it for its contents and head back. Go to the Northwest and head through the tunnel. Once inside the tunnel just head to the West through it. This will lead Death to Tri-Stone, a city of the Makers.

Tri-Stone
Head straight ahead and talk with the fellow attacking the posts in front of you. This is the trainer: Thane. He has a number off both Main and Secondary Attack combination he will teach Death for a price. Still, there is a free move he will teach Death called “Harvester Revenge”. Talking with Thane you can gain the side quest, “The Maker Warrior”. For now, do not challenge Thane as Death needs to gain a few levels and pick up some better gear. Take a little time to explore the area around Thane and smash some of the pots and barrels to collect a little more coin and search for rare items.

Now head to the South then over to the West. At this point you may receive a message from an “Ominous Sender”. There you will find the Merchant, Muria. She knew of Death's coming and offers to sell him both potions and talismans to aid in his questing. Death can question her on changing the fates, the Corruption, , what she is doing there, about tree and her visions. Asking into “What are you doing here”, “About the tree” and “What do you see” can earn you the Pauldron of the Horsemen. Ask after “Changing Fate”to get the side quest, “Shaman's Craft”.

Now head over to the East. On your way stop at the Serpent Statue and interact with it. You will receive weapons for your use in the letter “Gift from an Ominous Sender”. This will contain any of the special weapons you have gained access to through marketplace codes or DLC. Now head over to the East and talk with the woman around the forge. This is Alya and she explains what has been happening in the Forge Lands and what the Makers have done to combat the Corruption that has been spreading throughout the land. She explains that they want to regain access to the Maker's Forge that is inside. After that conversation Death can question her on The Cauldron, her silent brother and her store. The cauldron is the source of fire for the Maker's Forge. She has a store but it is not accessible until Death has proven himself to the Makers.

After that conversation return to Thane and talk with him. He is now at the very northern part of town and standing by the door to admit you onto the path toward the Cauldron. You will also find Eideard there. Talk with both of them to learn more of what is the Cauldron is and how to rekindle The Fire of the Mountain.
