Darksiders 2 Walkthrough Part 2 – The Keeper of Secrets, Part 2
Head up the vines in the back of the area. Dash up the wall to the ledge and then Wall Run to the left to get to the next platform. Head over to the right from there and approach the door. You will be attacked by your first boss of any sort: the Ice Giant.
Ice Giant
Start the battle by evading away from the Ice Giant as he immediately will attack the Pale Rider. Dodge until you are either behind him or the Ice Giant pauses in its attacking. Close the distance now and start slicing into the Ice Giant. As soon as you see the Ice Giant pull back an arm, retreat and bounce away to its sides. Moving backward is hardly going to get Death clear.
Be wary when you are close to the Giant as well. This one can generate shockwaves from stomp attacks. Keep mobile is the key to winning this fight. Whenever there is a pause in the Giants attacks is when Death wants to close in and unleash a long attack at him. After a time the Giant will fall and Death unleashes his Reaper form for a short while to destroy the beast.
With the Ice Giant dead head for the doors that Dust is by. Head through the door and hang by the left-hand wall. It is time for another Wall Run. Death can actually go farther on this wall because there is a small post sticking out of it that he can grab onto and swing from. Wall Run toward the post and you will make it to the other side of the pit without a problem.
After that head into the room where Dust is perched above a switch. Interact with it and give a spin to activate the elevator that is this room. It will rise and come to a stop when there is a broken pillar in the way. Head over to the right-hand side of the elevator. You will find some wooden railing that you can climb onto. Grab it and run up to the second one. After that go to the right and drop down to the ground at the end of the track.
Head over to the right and you will find 2 walls that are close together. Time for some Wall Running and Jumping. Here the idea is to dash up the wall then leap over to the one opposite to continue your pace upwards. Keep this up until you reach the top. There you will need to Wall Run along the Left-hand wall, hitting the post to extend it far enough to reach the vines.
On the vines head over to the right then upwards. Dash so you hit the post and reach the vines above it. Keep to the left until the shout is done and the boulder has crashed into the ledge above Death. Head over to the right after that and dash to the wooden pillar there. Climb it up and leap to the one above it. Now lean out to the right and jump to the next pillar. Swing to the opposite side as you land and climb it upwards. From there simply Wall Run to the right. Head on through the opening back into the interior of the fortress.
