As you move ahead, you will reach The Dark Fortress on top of which the Keeper of Secrets sits. As you get to the Fortress you will be attacked by a few of the enemies. Kill them and take anything they drop. Use O to check the inventory. Move ahead towards the purple mark on the mini map which is another of Death's faithful - Dust the Crow. Dust will help us thru the game by showing the way ahead to our destiantion. Move into the Fortess and go across the first gap by doing what is shown on the screen. Look to your left and you will see a frozen enemy. Kill it and move thru to find your first chest which has a few potions. DEATH--- Reach the top of The Dark Fortress ---DEATH Move ahead and go across the next gap and you will come to a set of three beams which come down from the ceiling. Jump onto the closest one and turn towards the next. Hold Shift and hit Space to jump across. Keep going and you will soon again come to another set of enemies. Kill all of them and you will find more spoils. Move towards the left ahead and jump onto the wall with the vines. Get to the top and move ahead and hit E to jump down. Move ahead and you will find another frozen enemy. Kill it and move ahead and climb the next wall to come to the Ice Giant. Ice Giant:- The Ice Giant is very easy to beat, provided you continuously dodge it's attacks. So, remember to use dodge frequently and try to land a few combos on the monster and it will come down. If you find that there is not time to get one whole set of combos going each time then use your secondary weapob which does more damage but you should have a lot of time for combos. After you kill the Giant, move into the Fortress thru the door to the right. You will come to a lever which activates the platform you are standing on and takes you up. After you reach the top, move ahead and you will need to run, jump and so on for a long while going past vine walls, pillars and gaps to reach the top of this area where the Crowfather resides. The Crowfather is the Keeper of Secrets and he sends a little malice your way. WAR:- You will need to face your own brother before you continue ahead - but he really does not look like War - the one we used in the last game - a bit darker War is pretty fast with the combos so we cannot take out time hitting him. Make a couple of hits with your Schytes or use the secondary weapon once and then dodge away to avoid the combo. After you take his health down a bit, he rushes at you - strike him to get into a quick action. Keep hitting the attack button to bring him down and then resume fighting like before. After you strike down the last bit of health - some drama ensues and Death is cast thru space into a far off world filled with Corruption.To Top
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Fire of the Mountain Collectibles: Boatman's Coins - 2 Book of Dead Pages - 1 The Maker here tells us of Alya and the path we need to take to get to the Tree of Life. You ought to have levelled up by now, so go into the inventory screen with O and choose a power. DEATH--- Speak to Alya ---DEATH Open your map and see where the chest is (to the bottom of where you are shown on the map and go to it. Open it and after that, continue towards Alya's location. As you go ahead, you will come to another Maker to the right practising. Talk to Thane here to get a free power. You can always come back to buy another power if you have the gold. Go to the next area but to the right and you meet a Shaman. Talk to her and she gives you a quest - "Shaman's Craft" where you need to find Karn and locate three objects so that she can make you a special talisman. Go to Alya and speak to her and then go to Thane. Speak to the old Maker here and the door to the Corrupted Cauldron opens to Death. Go in and you will come to an area which has a small pond below. Jump in and you find a [[BOATMAN's COIN]]. You can go back up using the bar on one of the walls here and use the ledges on top to reach the other side after you get back to the top. Now, as you go thru, you will come out to the Stonefather's Vale. You can use your steed from here. Go to the left side to the gate leading into the Shadow Gorge - the gate is sealed but you can pick up another [[BOATMAN's COIN]] to the left of the gate. Open your map and you will see a large empty space to the right of the middle door on which the corruptions is. Go there to pick up the BOOK OF DEAD PAGE 1. Take your horse and go into the weeping Crag. As soon as you go in, you will reach a main area and you will see a ledge to the left. Get down your horse and climb the ledge which leads to a locked door.To Top
-------------------------------------------------- Weeping Crag Secrets Boatman's Coins - 1 Book of Dead Pages - 1 Before you get to the doorm jump into the water here and move to the rigth near the waterfall and you will find a [[BOATMAN's COIN]]. ---> Locked Door of The Weeping Crag <--- To get the key to this door, you will now need to take a long path and you can open up a lot of chests on your way. First, go to the right of the locked door and run across the wall to the pillar on the wall. The layout is like this - ______ 6| 1| 4| 5| | 2_ 3_ | Go to the pillar which is 1 and down to 2 and to 3 and to 4 and climb up all the way to the top of four and then run to 5 and climb up 5 and jump up to 6 and then run left onto the platform. Here, you will see two doors the one to the right is locked. Go to the left and you will find a chest. To the left of the chest are boxes. Break them and you will see an opening in the wall, fall thru it to come to another chest. Jump into the water and come back to the room Go up the stairs and you will come to a pressure plate. Stand on the front edge of the plate and wait for the platform to rise all the wal up and jump like a maniac all the way to the next one and go down the stairs to the right. You will come to another room ahead. But to get there you will have to run on the wall to the right and in the end hit the jump button and resume running on the adjoining wall. When you get across, you will see a chest to the right which has the [[KEY]]. To the left of the door is a space, go there and you will see the camera change angles. Run up the wall and jump and jump to get to the top where you see another chest ahead. You will need to run on the wall and then jump to the adjoining wall and when you reach the end of this wall, jump again to get to the chest. After that, head back to the locked door. Before you go in, be prepared for a huge fight. You will face a level 5 Stalker now and if you are on level 1 then it will take a long time to kill the monster but you can kill it and grab the two treasures here anyway. You can also choose to come back here after you level up. After you kill the monster, grab the loot and head down the stairs on the side. Jump down and turn back, you should see another set of stairs leading into the water and some ledges on the far side. You need to stand on the top of these stairs and run on the left wall and in the end jump to the adjoining wall and keep jumping from wall to wall to avoid the cracks in the wall. If you reach the other side then you can grab the BOOK OF DEAD PAGE 2. Gorewood Monster Location NOTE: If you go into the water all the way down and thru the narrow water way. You will emerge in an area which is inhabited by a monster known as the GOREWOOD. You cannot kill it now or for a very long time from now. The best time to come here is when you are given the quest to kil it by someone else - this will happen later in the game. Till then, going there is just a waste of time. After you come back out all the way to the Weeping Crag main area. Move ahead to the merchant icon and you will come to our favourite demon - Vulgrim. He is a shopkeeper.To Top
-------------------------------------------------- Baneswood Secrets Boatman's Coins - 2 Book of Dead Pages - 1 As you enter this area, go to the right where you can find a [[BOATMAN COIN]]. One of the monsters here in Baneswood drops the BOOK OF DEAD PAGE 3 after you kill it. You will mostly find the monster near the statue of a Maker which is in the middle part of the right edge of the map. You may also find it just behind the statue. The chest here which is on top to the right cannot to got to since you need an item to get there so just come back later for it. You cannot enter the Nook area of the map so go right to the path which is leading to The Charred Pass. As you enter the path (as you pass the arch overhead) look to the right and you will find anoter [[BOATMAN COIN]]. To get it, you will need to jump over the edge with your horse. Move ahead and out of the next arch and move to the left where you see a chest on the mini map. It is hight above you and you can reach it by running vertical on the wall to the right and jump to the platform above and continue from there. Climb the pillar on the wall and you will soon get to the chest. If you look into your map you are on the Charred Pass but this is not the actual pass. So move ahead and after you go past this narrow area into a larger area, you will enter the real Charred Pass. -------------------------------------------------- Charred Pass Secrets Boatman's Coin - 1 As soon as you enter the area you will see a fallen tree to the left. Enter the tree to get [[BOATMAN's COIN]]. You can see The Scar area on the map but it is not accessible at the moment. You need to head onto the narrow path which leads to the cauldron for now. -------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Fire of the Mountain Cont... Boatman's Coin - 3 Book of Dead Pages - 2 Death--- Help Karn defeat the Constructs ---Death Keep heading into the Cauldron area and you will find Karn. First, kill all the Constructs with him and you can talk to him. Ask him about the Shaman's Craft and he mentions the location of the Stalker's which are supposed to be inside near the cauldron. He also asks for a favour - he wants you to get him the plate which he forged and left inside the cauldron. The bridge to the Cauldron is brought down, go in. Death--- Restore the Fire of the Mountain ---Death Go in and you will come to a lever. Use it to open the door ahead and you will reach the Cauldron. You can pick up a Shadow Bomb which is to the right of the Cauldron with R. Go ahead to where the chest is and use Q to aim and MMB to throw the bomb onto the yellow crystals. After the crystals explode, you can see the chest. Now go back to the bomb and throw it on the lever which is on the wall to the right of the cauldron. This opens the door to the right so go in. You will come into a lava room. You can pick up a [[BOATMAN's COIN]] to the right here. Then use the ledge on the left wall to get across and jump to the other side to the right. Now, look behind the left wall and you will spot a ledge. Run up on the wall and grab the pillar. Jump onto the beams to the right and you will soon come to the bomb. Use it on the lever on the right side wall and go thru the open door. In the end is a chest which has a map of this place. Then go into the large chamber to the left. -------------- Stalker's Bone You will find a Stalker here fighting some Constructs. First kill the Constructs so that you have time to deal with the Stalker alone. By now, you are supposed to be on a hight enough level to take it out with ease. Keep dodging it's attack and you ought ot have good weapons too so use a few combos and get out of the way when you see it running at you. You gain the bone after you kill it. The next part of the Talisman is a million miles away and you cannot go there. Just finish the above quest and talk to Karn once you are out of here. -------------- There's a chest in this area with a Key to the locked door which we came across in the beginning of this area. Go to the locked door and use the key and you will come to a shadow ball. Hit E to hold it and roll it into place. This will give you a wood support on the wall to the right. Use it to get onto the ledge. Run to the right to the platfrom. Stand on the left edge of the platform and run up the wall and jump to grab the [[BOATMAN's COIN]]. Open the chest behind the statue and go to the veins on the wall by moving on the ledge. Go up and you will come to another area. Go to the end here and use the wood support on the wall to go up and jump into the area behind you to get to the chest. Now, go back onto the ledge and move all the way to the left. You will come to a vein wall. Go down and keep going and you will see another lever. Use it to open the door to the left and go thru to the next place. Ignore the locked door and go thru the door to the right. Go to the left first and behind a broken wall is the BOOK OF DEAD PAGE 4. Take it and go to the rigth side. Use the bonb here to break the crystals holding the ball. Roll the ball into the slot which is closest to the grill behind which the second ball is. Take the second ball to the left slot and use a bomb to break free the first ball and push it into the right slot. Take the key from the chest and go to the locked door. You will see a lever in the next room. Before you use it. Break the stuff to the left ot get a [[BOATMAN's COIN]]. Use the lever and the ledges to the right to get across. You see the yellow crystals blocking a chest above? we'll get to it later. Now, jump from the edge of the platform to grab the ledge on the thing that rose up and go to the other side and jump to the other area. Go ahead and use the ledges to get to the top area. You will come to a Shadow Bomb. Take it and fall back down the whole way and use it on the yellow crystals. You cannot get to the chest now but you can go there later so just go back up and pull the lever and get across the platform. -------------------- JOURNEYMAN'S PLATTER Here, you can pick up the JOURNEYMAN'S PLATTER which Gharn asked you to get. Go thru the next area and you get into a boss fight. -------------------- GHARN You should use fast weapons only against Gharn and dodge him immediately as he is about to make a hit. If you followed this guide then you are on a high enough level to take him out quick. After you kill him, the next area has a device. Use it and turn it around a couple of times to start the Cauldron again. To the right here are some more rubble. Break to get BOOK OF DEAD PAGE 5. Now, go back to the beginning at to the chest which you couldn't get to earlier - see it on the map if you forgot the location. Go out and give the Platter to Karn and fast travel using the map screen to get to Alya. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Maker Warrior You can go talk to Thane now and ask him to fight you. You should be on level 4 atleast and should have a great secondary weapon by now. If you have a heavy secondary weapon, hit once and dodge away and keep repeating. try not to get hit by any of his attacks. After you bring his health to half, he starts to smash the ground which sends rocks, get out of the path as he is about to smash the ground. Stay away from him and go near only to hit once or twice and get back - don't try combos. You get some great XP after you kill him - which is going to be hard mind you and he will also mention four creatures for you to defeat. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Find and Kill Gorewood Gorewood can be found in Weeping Crag. Look in the Weeping Crag section above to know the path to the monster. If you are on lvl 6 now then you will have a hell of a time taking the monster - do not attempt on hard. But on Normal you can kill the monster with some difficulty. Best case is to come back to it after you comeplete the Tears of the Mountain quest. Killing the monsters is not going to be simple. It has an array of three attack - it sends roots at you thru the ground which follow you, just dodge them and then Gorewood comes running at you and tries to kick you - dodge this by going to the sides. The last is a claw attack - dodge and start using combos on the monster as after the claw attack it will roar for a bit. Sometimes, it can also try to claw you twice before roaring. If you can learn the movements of the monster properly then you might kill it quicker. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tears of the Mountain Boatman's Coins - 2 Death--- Speak to Karn ---Death Head to Karn's location shown on the map and speak to him about everything. This time, he wants us to find some armor for him. Death--- Find the Drenchfort ---Death Use your pistol to aim and shoot at the bombs above the door. Head into the Shadow Gorge - you'll know why it's called that as soon as you go inside. Keep going all the way till you come to a Stinger Hive. ---- MORDANT DEW ---- Killing the stingers will get you the Mordant Dew and after that you will not get you anything, you need to destroy the hive to stop them - you wont even get EXP if you kill the stingers. After you destroy the hive, move ahead and climb the ledge to go to the top and jump to grab the [[BOATMAN COIN]]. Now go back up and thru the open door. Kill everything and move ahead but do not jump down. Just grab the next [[BOATMAN COIN]] here and head back and ride towards the Shattered Forge (look in your map). ------------------- The Shattered Forge Boatman's Coins - 2 Book of Dead Page - 1 As you reach it, you'll see the broken platform in water. Jump in the water and swim below the platform behind it to get another [[BOATMAN COIN]]. Use the ledge above the platform to get inside. You'll come to more water, jump in and go around the central stone to see another [[BOATMAN COIN]]. Climb back up and go thru the open door. Go to the end and jump into the water, you will find a hole below the water on the other side, go thru the hole and come out the other side. Get on the land and open the chest to find a map. Use the support to get on top and kill the things here. Continue ahead and soon you will come to a place with close walls. To get to the other side, you will need to run on these walls, jumping from one to the other - start on the left wall. You come to a set of vertical walls, run on them to get to the top of the place. Run on the walls and the supports will help you go to the other side where you fight a few enemies and you will see a Shadow Bomb far away. Jump into the water and you will find a ledge to the right of the platform. Use it to go up to the bomb and throw the bomb on the crystal which is blocking the path. Go back and thru the opened area and you will come to a lever. Push the lever and you can run on the walls to the other side now. Take the bomb and throw it on the door below you. Jump down and a Stalker comes at you. Kill it and go thru the door. Open the chests and keep going. You will soon come to an area where you are trapped with a Construct Champion. After you kill it some Tained Constructs come at you and then another champion. Keep Death on his feet and on the dodge. After you kill everything, go thru the open path and you come to narrow walls. You will need to start running on the left wall and keep jumping to get to the other side. Go thru the door and you come to a large area with ledges all around the place. Look at the pillar standing in the middle of the water and jump in and dive below the pillar to go into the hole and thru the other side. CLimb up and you come to the bomb. Throw it straight ahead near the growth. Pick up another bomb and jump down and throw it on the growth which is to the left side. Go up the ledge here to get to the chest. Use the next series of walls and supports to get to the door on the other side. ---- CARVEN STONE ---- Go thru the door and get to the other side. Keep going and if you are lucky, you will come to a CARVEN STONE. Use your piston to take it down and you will have all three things you needed for the Talisman which the Shaman wants to give you. Do not go to her right away as you will find something soon and you need to take it back to Tri-Stone too anyway. Kill everything and break the pots in this room to get BOOK OF DEAD PAGE 6. Continue ahead and take the key. Use the lever to bring down the rods and jump down. Go to the locked door and keep going. In the final chest, you find the [[SPLINTER BONE]] which you can take back to Valus. So you can fast travel there and come back. ------------------- --------- The Fjord Boatman's Coins - 3 Head to the Fjord (use the ledges to the left of the gate which we used to get the coins earlier and move thru). Jump down to get to the Fjord. Go to the merchant sign and you will meet a Construct which wants you to feed it with stones. There are three kinds of stones and a ton of them scattered all around the world so you are going to have one hell of a time getting them - it's going to suck. The firs stone is just to the left here above - shoot it and it will come to you - it's the blue thing in the air. You must have seen these kinds of stones while moving around earlier too. The Fjord leads to to areas, one is the main area where the main quest is going to take place - the Drenchfort. The other is The Crucible. Go to where the water is in the middle of the Fjord. Go into the water and swim under and you will find a [[BOATMAN COIN]] inside. You cannot go to the Crucible yet. If you swim into the area above the crucible which looks like an inverted V you will find Vulgrim and a place which you cannot access - this is the right side of the inverted V. To the left is Oran who is sleeping you cannot wake him yet so just go back all the way but remember these places. Go back to Fjord and look into the map. Now to the right most side of the Fjord are two paths. One leads to nowhere and the other larger path leads to our quest. The path are seperated by a small mountain. Go to the path that is going nowhere and you will find a room. Go in and pick up the [[BOATMAN COIN]] here to the right in a hole behind the wall. Move to the center of the room and look back and above the door to find [[STONE OF POWER 1]]. Shoot it to take it. The rest of this area is inaccessible so go back to the Fjord and take the other path leading to the quest. As you enter the path, go on the high area to the left (you should have seen the [[BOATMAN's COIN]]) go to the edge and look for the coin jump from above the coin to grab it. Go thru the path leading to the Drenchfort and you will find [[STONE OF MYSTICS 2]] above you as you go. Next, head inside the Drenchfort. --------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tears of the Mountain Cont... Boatman's Coins - 3 Book of Dead Pages - 1 After you come into the central area of the fort, you get to see the elaborate structures built by the makers. The game also shows you which door to go to and how to get there. First look opposite to the giant structure (the way it is facing, and you will see STONE OF MYSTICS 3 in the middle of the room. Then jump below to the foot of the structure and look around for a BOATMAN's COIN. Go back up and use the ledges which were shown in the beginning to get to the door which was shown earlier in the cutscene. The other places cannot be accessed right now. Go thru that door all the way inside (do not go to the path to the right just yet) and you will come into a room with two slots for balls and a locked grill to the left and another one blocking the exit ahead. First go behind the ball which is on top to the right and climb the supports to get to it and push it down. Place it in one of the slots and fall down. Head to the next side using the ledges and you see that the ball is stuck in crystal. Go to the back of this area and you will see a couple of ledges leading up to a bomb. Use it on the growth and push the ball to the grate. Go back and get another bomb and throw it on the ball. Stand on the pressure plate in the center so that the gate opens and shoot the bomb to make the ball go out Place the ball in the slot and this opens the door. Before you go thru the door, take the [[BOATMAN COIN]] which is on the arch above the grate which blocked the path to the second ball. Go thru the door and you will come up to another bomb and a growth. Blast the growth and pull the lever. Jump into the water to the right and swim till you are blocked and jump up. You will come to the first door you used to get into this area from the outside. Now head back and take the path to the right. --------------------- Lost and Found Part II Go in all the way and you get to fight a few things here, look to the right of the chest to find the JOUNEYMAN HELM, you can take it to Karn later. --------------------- Go outside you will also see a new path shown in the cutscene. Jump into the water and dive and go thru the tunnel below and you will find another [[BOATMAN's COIN]]. Use the ledges to go up and you will fight a few monsters on your way. Go thru the door after you kill the stalker and you come to a locked gate soon. Facing the gate, turn back and walk for a bit and jump into the first lane to the left (which your Crow should be sitting near). Go all the way to the end where you find ledges. Climb to the top most ledge and run on the wall to the right and jump into the area past the rubble to collect the BOOK OF DEAD PAGE 7. Go thru the opening in the wall which is below the ledges and you find the key to the locked door. Take it back to the door and go thru and you will come to another large chamber with more balls to play with. Go to the left where you find the ledges leading up to a bomb. Use it on the growth and go down to the ball. To push the ball, hit MMB while holding it and Death throws it like a softball. Push the ball into the slot to bring down the platform. You can go to the right side area for a chest. Anyway, get another bomb and put it on the ball. Stand on the lowered platform and shoot the ball and the paltform raises. You will soon come to a hive. Destroy it and keep going to get to the lever. The gate does not come up even if you push the lever, go near the gate and shoot the bombs on top of it and pull the lever to open the gate. Swim thru the water to get to the other side and in the end, climb up. The door nearby is locked. Go to the middle of this path where the water is going to the left thru a large opening (this is the place where you found the book of dead earlier). Swim there and dive into the water and go thru the hole to the next chamber - this is where the chest with the key was earlier. Go up the ledges and you will come to a lever. use it to open the locked door and go outside. Now, there's only the center door remaining. Go thru it, jump into the water and cross to the other side. Go thru the door and you will come into an opening with a weird growth of plants and a weird ball in the middle of the room. Hold the ball and use MMB to ram it into the plant growth and you wake up the Karkinos. BOSS: Karkinos Karkinoss tries to ram you, dodge and it hits the wall and one more ball drops down. Run to the ball and use it to ram into the beast. When this happens, Karkinos flips showing the belly. First kill the smaller creature which woke up from the ball and the get to slashing Karkinos. If you have a good secondary then use it with combos. Keep repeating and after the health is down to half, mainain your distance for a while since it goes berserk but calms down again. This time, it can shoot roots thru the ground which hurt you. When it is about to shoot the roots, stand close to a wall and dodge when the roots come near you so that it hits the wall and misses you. Keep repeating the strategy and kill it. Go thru the opened door and pull the lever to start flowing the Tears of the Mountain.To Top
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To Move a Mountain Death---- Find the Lost Temple ---Death -------------------------- The Nook After you get this quest, you can fast travel to the Nook if you already went there earlier. Once you are there, go thru the door and activate the Construct with E. Climb on it and move it into the slot on the ground. You can shoot a chain with MMB so aim at the circle ahead and shoot. Climb on the chain and go to the other side and thru the door. In the next area, you will be attacked by a few corrupt constructs. Kill them and look for a bomb nearby. use it to take down the growth and use the ledge there to climb up. Use the next series of beams to get across and then go down the stairs. In this area, there's a Stinger Hive so kill it first. Go thru the door to the right of the hive and you will come to another area with a lever. Use it and go down the steps and run on the wall. You will now come into the lair of BHEITHIR. If you move ahead you can see it fly around but you will not be able to start a fight because you cannot access the central area of this lava filled room - you need to come back here after you gain a particular gadget in the future so remember this area. For now, go thru the door which comes to the left from here. Now, in the next area, you will see a ball on top behind some grates. Use the ledge nearby to jump onto the beam and then jump onto the upper beam and onto the golden beam in the end and wait till the ball rolls. Fall down to the lower beam and wait till the ball rolls out fully. Use the lever here and take the ball up with you. You should come across a [[STONE OF MYSTICS 4]] here. Hold the ball and hit MMB to send it to the other platform ahead. Jump down and use the supports on the wall to get on top and use the lever to get the ball up here and push the ball into the slot. Go to the next area and use the stairs and then the ledges to get out of this place. You'll come outside onto a path that leads straight into the Lost Temple -------------------------- The Lost Temple Boatman's Coins - 3 Book Of dead Pages - 2 Death---- Awaken the Construct ----Death Talk to Karn just outside for another quest. Head into the temple and use the stairs to go up and then thru the door. Awaken the Construct here and use it to smash thru the growin blocking your way ahead. Put the Construct in the slot to open the door and go thru. In the next area, you fight Carven Stones and others, use your gun to take down the stones. You must have seen the supports on the wall which were shown in the cutscene. Go there and use them to get to the path behind the Growth. Walk all the way till you come out again. In this area, there's a construct straight ahead but there is not path to get the construct back here. Jump into the water and pick up [[BOATMAN's COIN]] and then use the supports on the wall to get to the other side and climb onto the construct. Aim at the Growth which is on the other side and hit MMB to launch the chain to destroy the growth revealing a lever. Go back there and push the lever to raise a path. Get the construct rolling and go back all the way to the main chamber while destroying the growth on your way. Go and take out the growth ahead and look down to spot the STONE OF MYSTICS 5. Latch the chain of the construct into the slot on the other side and go there. Shoot the bomb behind the shadow ball to break it loose and take the ball to the slot which opens the grate. Go to the chest now and take the key. Go back to the locked door and then go to the lever to the right and use the lever to open the path below. Go back to the Construct and take it thru the path and destroy all the growth. You can pick up the map of this place if you use the Construct to go to the right. Go straight and place the construct in the spot to open the grates ahead. Now, you will find a multitude of enemies and Carven Stones. Take them out quick and go thru the door to the next place. Go thru the door to the left as the one ahead is blocked. Run on the walls jumping from one to the other to get to the other side. Pick up the [[BOATMAN's COIN]] here.Go to the waterfall nearby and again run on the walls to go up. You will find another [[BOATMAN's COIN]] behind a tree. ------------------ Lost and Found III Look under the structure in the end of the room ahead and you will find the [[JOURNEYMAN's COMPASS]]. Take it to Karn once you are back in Tri-Stone. ------------------ Use the door to the right and activate the constuct there. Move it onto the platform and get down. Use the supports to climb the wall all the way to the top and go ahead to find another cosntruct. Bring it to the slot which will bring up the first construct and then take the first construct ahead and place it in the slot which will open the grates which you see ahead in the main area. Go back and get the other construct and move it thru the grates, as you go, you will see another set of grates - you can come back here in a little bit. Move the construct all the way to the other side and place it in the slot. Break the growth ahead and latch the chain. Go back to the other construct and move it to the right of the room where you see a slot which will open the door leading out of this place. After you place the construct in the slot, jump onto the wood beam and then onto the chain and walk back to the first constuct and go to the grate which was closed earlier to find the BOOK OF DEAD PAGE 8. Go back on the chain and jump to the door and get out of here. Fight your way to the edge and use the supports on the wall to get all the way to the other side onto a platform. You will be attack here, kill everything and go thru the door. In the next place, you ca find some supports on the wall nearby which take you above. Go to the top and use the wood beams to jump into the room to the left to get the BOOK OF DEAD PAGE 9. Shoot the bombs on the growth which are blocking the ball to make it fall below. Go back down and push the ball into the slot to open the door. You will now fight a couple of monster Corrupter Constructs - be very careful and use all your powers - this can be a little challenging. After you kill them go thru the door and keep going till you get to the final area. Boss: CONSTRUCT HULK This boss does not hit you directly, it pounds the earth which makes a shockwave come out. Keep dodging to avoid the shock wave and after each pound some bombs fall down. Take a bomb and throw it on the hulk and then shoot the bomb. You need to do this quickly or as the hulk keeps pounding the bombs will explode but there are always more bombs. Once you hit it with a bomb and shoot the bomb, it will collapse for a while revealing a black orb. Go to the Hulk and start hitting this orb like crazy - use your secondary combos. This will bring down it's health a lot. Keep doing this a couple more times and you will kill it. After you defeat it, move ahead and you will find the Giant Construct which you came here to awaken. Go back and talk to Eidard. You can come back to the temple and look behind the giant construct (you find a gap in the wall where it was sleeping and you can open a treasure chest. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Heart of the Mountain Boatman's Coins - 2 Book of dead Pages - 1 Objective: Enter the Foundry Speak to the Guardian and he calls forth a path to the foundry. Go to the other side and go right from the door to get a [[Boatman's Coin]]. Enter the foundry and keep going till you get to the circular platform. Go to the left end and wait for Karn. After he comes, use E on him and he will throw you to the next location. Use the support to get to the top and jump onto one of the cauldrons which keep coming. Go to the right and jump right when you see the platform. Run on the wall to the other side and kill the mini constructs here. Go ahead and pull the lever to open the door nearby and go thru. You enter a large area which has a locked door straight ahead. Jump onto the beam which is to the right of the door and wait on it to open the large gates. Wait for Karn to get under the gates so that he can hold them and then jump down and go thru the gaps. Go ahead and you come out to the main Guardian which is lifeless for now. Ojective: Find the three Heart stones Go into the path to the left and you will come into a room. Go to the left of the room near the broken part of the wall and make Karn toss you over. Dive into the water and you get a [[Boatman's Coin]]. Swim to the other side and use the ledges to get up. You come to a place with a shadow ball, but the gate here is shut. So go ahead and jump into the water. You can come up on one of two places. One is the pressure plate which opens the gate so that you can take the ball out and the other is to a chest. Take the ball out and place it in the slot which is on top of the slop on the other side of the room and the construct comes out of the water. Ride it back to the room with the locked door and take it in the lane here where you find a slot for it. Use the chain to latch to the hole and walk on the chain to the other side. Jump onto the veins and use the pillars to go the door to the right. Go in and run on the wall and use the ledge to get to the next door. After the fight, the next door opens, keep going and you come to a chest which has the Key to the locked door, so go back to the locked door after you take the key. Go thru the door and keep going for a while till out get to a large purple artifact. Beat it up and Death gains a new ability - Deathgrip. ************************ More importantly, go back out the door and do not jump across back using the hook above. Stand on the edge here and fall down facing the door you came thru you will see a hook below, use Deathgrip on it and you will go into a hole in the wall a bit above. Go around and you will find another hook on the wall above, use it to get to the top where you find the BOOK OF DEAD PAGE 10. You can go back to Vulgrim to give him the book for a prize now. ************************ FIRST HEARTSTONE Now, go to Karn and follow him to the next place. Kill the mosnters and use the Deathgrip to get the bomb from the wall to the right and blast it on the lever ahead. Go thru the door and jump onto the beams to the left and you come to a lever. Pull it and jump onto the beam which is behind this lever above on the wall. Jump from the beam and use the Deathgrip to get onto the vine wall which is on the other side. Pull the next lever and go thru the door and you come to a elevator soon. Pull the lever to make it rise and thru the next door is the first Heartstone. Walk to the left and Karn tosses you over. Use the supports on the wall to get to an area above from where you see Karn ahead, use the deathgrip and he will toss you to a higher area. Again, use the supports on the wall and keep going and you will come to a construct. Take it to the right side path and put it in the hole and use the chain to get to the top and the ledges to get to a plafrom which is close to the heartstone. Use the Deathgrip to get to the stone and Karn carries it. Go back to the elevator on which you will have a huge fight. Once you come out, Karn places the first stone. SECOND HEARTSTONE Once the cutscene is over, go to the hook which was shown and use Deathgrip to get to the other side. Go into the tunnel, once you come out, go to the left tunnel and you will come to a pressure plate which opens the doors. Karn will boost you over to the other side and you can use the hooks to jump over and keep going till you get to a Construct. Awaken it and place it in the slot to the right and shoot the chain. Climb onto the platform in the middle of this area on which you see a lever. Turn the lever to the other side and jump onto the left platform which rose up and run on the chain and jump left onto the next platform - all this before the platforms come back down. Use the veins and ledges and you come to a lever. Pull it to make bridges appear in the earlier area and take the construct back to where Karn is and go thru the corruped growth and you will come out to the second stone. Take the construct to the right side ahead where you see corrupt growth and smah it with the chain. use Karn to toss you over there and open the chest to get a key to the locked door nearby. Don't go thru the door yet. Fall into the water and swith to the wall ahead which has vines and go up and keep going. After another swim and wall gliding you will come to a lever. After you pull it, go back to where Karn is. Now you should have seen a lever here too. Take the construct and put it between the two smashers and pull the lever to smash the construct and you get a shadow ball. Take the ball thru the locked door and put it in the slot and use the parallel walls to get up to the Heartstone. Now, the large gate to the other side is locked so you need to jump left into the water and use the ledges to get back to the tunnels you used earlier. Go thru the left tunnel and the next one to get to a pressure plate which will open the large get so Karn can come thru. After he goes out get off the plate and the doors close again. You need to go thru the tunnels again to get back out to Karn and he puts up the second stone too. THIRD HEARTSTONE Move ahead of the large Guardian and follow Karn to the next place where you see a Construct and Karn tosses you ovet some grates. Pull the lever on the other side to bring down the grates and bring the construct inside. Go in and smash off all the corrupted growth in this room and place the construct in the slot on the ground and use the supports on the wall to get to the Heartstone. After Karn takes it, the Construct you used get corrupted. Kill it and go out to the main thing. Objective: Track down the Guardian Talk to Karn and then go back outside the foundry (which will take a long time - hope you remember the way you came in - just follow the crow and hold Z to summon it and also, use the map to look around for a path). Once you are out of the foundry, continue to the main area of the Forge Lands where the path to the Tree of Life is blocked and you find the Guardian. BOSS: THE GUARDIAN Run around on your horse and sprint when the Guardian smashes the ground - when he does smash the ground, aim at his had on which there are bombs and shoot them with the gun to make it explode. Now, go to the fallen arm and use your Deathgrip to get to the Heartstone and stat smashing it - after a few hits, the arm gets back to the guardian. Repeath this process till the Heartstone is dislodged from the arm. Now, the second part of the fight is related to very very large bombs. As soon as the guardian throws them, aim with your gun and shoot them till they start glowing and rise up in the air - this is when they explode. If the explosion gets the guardian, his right arm will fall down. You can see some ledges which lead to the Heartstone. Climb on the ledges to get to the stone and hit it. Repeat this till this one too comes off. Then Death goes into Reaper form and smashes the third stone himself. After you take out the guardian, a nice cutscene follows. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Find and Kill Bheithir This is going to be a tough and immensly entertaining fight. First, you need to prep for it. Go to Vulgrim and respec all your skill point for a 1000 gilt and then go into the skills menu and put all your points in the HARVEST power and it's next upgrades. You need to go into the fight with only this power - but upgraded as much as possible. Then put on your best armor and use your best weapons. Go to the Shaman and fill up your health and wrath potions. Now, to find Bheithir, you need to go to the Nook and into the chamber where you fight a Stinger Hive. From this place go right to where the steps lead to the bottom part of the dungeon. Run on the walls till you get to a lava filled room where you see a giant, part bat-lion monster flying around. Use the Deathgrip to get to the hook above and to the [[BOATMAN's COIN]] and then onto the narrow platform where you are going to fight it. When you come onto the platform, go to the left end and wait for the monster to show up. It usually lands on the right end, smashes into the ground and spews lava on the bridge and then slides on the lava to headbutt anything in the way. While it is doing this, you should be on the other end of the bridge safe and sound. If however you find yourself in the vicinity of any of these attacks in the future, jump off the bridge to avoid them - Death will come back onto the bridge and Bhietir will also come back after flying around for a bit and you can resume the fight. After all the show above, the monster slowly walks, this is the time you need to hit it. Move close to it and immediately hit tab to bring up the powers menu and start using harvest as many times as you can (I got twice each time). If you time this properly, you can hit it without being hit by it's talon swipe attack. After that, roll past it from the left or right edge and keep rolling or it will hit you with it's tail and then make s smash attack and spew lava again. You need to use the reaper form also atleast once while the beast is walking. You may get hit more than a few times but it keeps getting easier each time. After the fight, you can pick up Bhiethir's Talons which are lvl 15 scythes and are really really good. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spark of Life Speak to the Shaman to get this quest.... Objective: Kill the Mad Construct Go to the Scar area to the right bottom of the map. Use Deathgrip to head into the dungeon. You will meet the Mad Construct as soon as you go in but it breaks the floor and you fall to a lower level of the dungeon. Go thru the hole in the wall, down the stairs and fall thru the hole on the ground in the end and kill the stinger hive ahead. Go to it's left and run on the wall adn then go thru the hole in the wall again and you soon see Ghorn who desperately tries to keep you away. He smashes the floor below which causes lava to rise up. You need to get to the top using the Ledges and hooks on the wall before you are engulfed by the lava. On the top most ledge, you need to go right to a lower ledge and use a support to come up. Go to the left room here, activate the construct and break the growth blocking the other door, get back and put it in the slot on the gound, walk on the chain and use the hook to the left on the other side. Use the next sequence of supports, hooks and ledges and you get to a chest with a Key. Go back outside and thru the door which wee didn't take earlier. Run on the wall and look at the platform to the right which is being held up by growth and run on the wall to the right of the platform and go thru the locked door. You come to a room with three platforms which sink when you stand on them. Use the hook to get on one and use the ledges to get to it's top and traverse to the other side of the room. When you come out you get into a fight with constructs, go to the right and kill the corrupted construct champion here and use the supports which are to the left of the grill which is blocking the way you came here to get to a lever Go down and activate the construct. Take it out and destroy the growth blocking the right path and go into the lava room. There are two levers which you can access by taking your construct to the left and right sides of this room and placing it in the slots and run on the walls to get to each lever or use the hook to jump up to the lever. After you use the levers, the path ahead will be open, take your construct thru it and you come to a blockade. Get down and use the support on the wall to get to the other side where a huge fight is waiting for you. Save the reaper form oor the last when you fight two Corrupted Champion Cosntructs at once, use wrath powers for the remainder of the fight - you need to dodge a lot too. After you manage to kill everything, take out construct ahead and look at the growth on the wall which is blocking the bridge and shoot them with the chain to make the bridge fall. Go ahead and place your pet in the slot and use the chain to get to the other side and go thru the door. BOSS: GHORN Ghorn is much simpler than you might have thought. You have fought dozens of COnstruct Champions, Ghorn is only a little bit different but use the same strategy you use with the other champions. When he starts to pound the floor, keep dodging or the lava coming up will hit you. After it's health is halved it summons a few corrupted. Kill them first before you get back to Ghorn. Use the reaper form anytime you want to. Pick up the great loot and get back to the Shaman. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tree of Life Just go to the tree and see what happens. NOTE: You can use portals to travel between worlds. NOTE: Go back to THE FORGE in the Forge Lands and just as you enter the area, you will see large lava caouldrons being moved above you. One of these has a [[STONE OF RESISTANCE 1]] on it. Shoot it to get your first Stone of Resistance ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACT II Collections and others in Act II Note: The moment you come into this new world, you'll meet a merchant who wants you to collect relics for him. There are three types of relics, each increasingly important and lesser in numbers than the previous. Etu-Goth, Renagoth, Khagoth are the three and you gain 3000 Gilt for each Etu-Goth and it goes to 1 skill point (Without levelling up) for each Khagoth relic. You can take each one to him and sell them. The locations of the relics will be written in the walkthrough itself. You can ctrl+f them. The first relic though can be reached if you go straight thru the craglands and enventually you will come to the bridge leading into the next part of the map. Do not go on the bridge, take a left and go to the edge and you find the [[RELIC OF ETU-GOTH 1]] You will also be able to continue the Sticks and Stones quest and you will find the next series of Mystic, Power and Resistance stones. Also, the next volume of the Book of Dead is also up for collections. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Find and kill the Deposed King Relic Of Etu-Goth - 2 Soul Arbitrer's Sacred Scroll - 2 Boatman Coins The other two huge fights come around this world, one is the Deposed King and the other is Achidna. The Deposed King is a typically lvl 20 fight, but as usual, you can kill him now itself provided you follow certain guidelines carefully. It is difficult but also extermely fun to kill off a huge boss as soon as you land in his world. The Deposed King was the original King of the Dead who had been banished from his throne and into an icy dungeon in the middle of nowhere. Unlike the earlier fights, you can actually see the Lair of the Deposed King on the map - that's an open inivation to come in and you can imagine that an open inviation to one of this fights means certain death (atleast a few times). Second Floor Head to the lair passing thru the Craglands and then into Leviathan's Gorge. The lair has a total of three floors below the ground. The first floor you come to leads into the lair but you need a key. So go down the the second floor and head inside. The third floor has the tomb which you get a key like the last time after you sell all book of dead pages to Vulgrim. The path thru the second floor is pretty straight forward so get the get from the end and then take the BOATMAN COIN which is in the air above you by running and jumping on the wall. Go back to the first floor and head in. First Floor This leads to the resting area of the King. As soon as you enter this area you will spot a red skull to the left on the wall. This is a marking of the Soul Arbitrer. There's a special area in the map which we get to later which is a huge maze. To cross the many many areas of this maze you need to collect scrolls of the Soul Arbitrer which are scattered around the many dungeons in the world. Whenever you see the red skull know that there's a clue in this dungeon somewhere not so far away. Continue down the stairs straight ahead and keep going and you will come to another set of stairs which are broken at the end. Just jump down and turn right to see supports on the wall. Before you use them, look to the right of this wall and you will spot [[RELIC OF ETU-GOTH 2]]. After that, use the supports to go up and you will come to the [[SOUL ARBITRER'S SECRET SCROLL 1]]. Go back down and to the door and you will come to the locked door. The door to the right is open but you only find a small treasure chest inside. Go thru the locked door after you take that chest and hit the crystal in the midlle of the round elevator and it will take you down. As soon as you land you will see frozen Skeletal Warriors all around the place. You can kill them and also, you should have seen the red skull to the right by now, go to the area to the right to obtain [[SOUL ARBITRER'S SCARED SCROLL 2]]. After you kill everything else in this place you can now go to the area straight ahead which has something that looks like a large frozen statue. MEGA BOSS: THE DEPOSED KING Fair warning that the Deposed king is not a normal fight. Ideally, if playing on hard difficulty, you need to take a run at him at lvl 20 for relative ease or if you want a bit of challenge, lvl 18 is good. Anything below that till lvl 16 can be difficult. If you want to go at him if you are below 16 then do it only on normal difficulty. Anyway, this fight like all the others can be got thru without much headache if you only follow these guidelines. The first is that the King has three kinds of attacks. Two involve swinging of his weapon at you - rather, smashing. He smashes his club into the ground twice and then during the third smash, he adds ice and if you get caught, you'll lose a ton of health as the ice continues to do damage even if you come out of the frozen state. You can avoid all of this by staying as far away from him as possible because sometimes, if you are close to him, he can just do the frozen smash without any prior moves and if you are not careful, you will get caught in it. Stay on the corners of the room and make him come to you and when he does the frozn smash, dodge sideways to avoid it and then run to him and start hitting him with your best shots since after the frozen smash, his club will get stuck in the ice for a little while. This is your only opening, going near him at any other time is pure suicide (unless you are of the proper level). After you take out 40% of his health, he points his club to the sky and then turns into a hurricane. This can hurt a lot too. Best way to avoid is to stay in the corners as far away from him as possible. So as soon as you see him do the gestures before the hurricane, go as far away as possible After you kill him you get the "Scepter of the Deposed King", which is an amazing weapon but you need to be lvl 20 to use it so you may not get to see it's awesomeness for a while. Go back outside to Leviathan's Gorge and head towards the breach. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Lord of Bones Boatmans Coins Stone of Power - 1 Stone of Mystics - 1 Relic of Khagoth - 1 Objective: Find the Eternal Throne To the Maw... Go inside the dungeon that takes you to the Maw. Use the Deathgrip hooks on the wall ahead to get to the other side. When you come to the pillar, note that you can go onto a platform from the middle of the pillar and also fall down to get to the main area. First, go onto the platform from the middle of the pillar and use the supports here to reach the top. You can see two pressure plates and two grills but you cannot get the chest behind it because you don't have a certain power that allows you to do so. So, remember this place and come back later. Get down and infront of the locked door is another pressure plate and a set of many grills. Step on the plate and go running on the wall immediately, in the end just jump onto the platform. Go left from the locked door and in the next area, go thru the right door (the left door leads back to the pressure plate we used to get here. After you take the right side door, you come into a large cave like place with a lever and a shadow bomb outlet to the left. Use the lever to first bring up the bridge that is nearby and then place shadow bombs on the lever and a bit to the right (you can have 3 in total). Place them so that if you shoot the rightmost one, the expllosion covers the next one and the one on the lever after that. Go on the bridge and as soon as you come off it, look to the right, you find a pillar which will take you away. For now, go left and you will see a bridge gap Look back and shoot the shadow bomb you placed so that the one on the lever explodes and the first bridge closes and the second opens. Go on the second one and you get to a chest holding the key. Take the key and go to the pillar which is to the left of the first bridge. Jump on it and then onto the ledge on the wall. Form there, look up, and you will see a grip hook. Use it to go to the top and you find a portal door (again, you can't use this yet so come back later). Get back to the locked door and go thru it. You come to another pillar on the wall. Use it and go down, you find a [[BOATMAN COIN]] to the right of the next door. Keep going thru doors and in the last room you can see a couple of statues to the left and right and behind the right is a yellow glow. There's a shadow bomb behind it and behind the left statue is a [[BOATMAN COIN]]. Take the shadow bomb and use it to destroy the growth in the area above. There's a chest there. Take the supports to the right of the exit door to the top and you come onto a ledge which has ledges above and below it. Go to the one above and keep going up. You'll see a statue to the left behind a grill shooting a green beam from a lantern it's holding. You will need to come back to this statue later also so remember how to get here. Go back down and thru the next door to get to The Maw area of the map. To the Serpent's Peak As you come out you see a large wooden bridge ahead which leads into the middle of The Maw area. Go straight across the bridge here and look to the left in the junction and walk down the broken part to get a [[BOATMAN COIN]]. Go onto the right side part now and after you pass the bridge, go left immediately and check behind the rocks here for another [[BOATMAN COIN]]. Look in the main map and you can see the the Serpent's Peak can be reached if you go left. The path leading straight ahs nothing but let's check it out anyway. Go straight and fall down in the end and you come into a small chamber with a portal. There's a [[BOATMAN COIN]] behind some boxes (break them) and also more importantly a [[STONE OF POWER X1]] on top of the entrance to this final chamber you just used to the left. We need to come back later to this place but get out of here now and use the ledge to clmb up and remember this place (if you look carefully you see faint outlines of a creature walking around in the sand), because we have to come back here soon. Head back and thru the arch leading towards the Serpent's Peak. Go till the end and you will see a path leading to the right, if you look in your map you should be on the starting edge of the lane that has Serpent's Peak written on it. But do not go there yet, walk straight ahead and fall down in the end and you will see a lever here. Pull it and the wall to the left turns to reveal a hook and some ledges. Go there and climb up and on top you will find the very rare [[RELIC OF KHAGOTH 1]]. If you trade it in with the goat merchant, he gives you a free skill point without levelling up for each of these. Fall down and head into the lane of Serpent's Peak. As you go, you will see the sign of a merchant on the mini map to the left of the main lane (the merchant is Vulgrim) but look above the left entrance from the main lane and you ought to spot the [[STONE OF MYSTICS X1]]. Go straight past after that and witness a great cutscene at the peak of the serpents. Objective: Get to the Throne Room This place is pretty straight forward and only involves jumping from one support to the other to get till the end. Go straight and look to the right in the end to find a ledge leading up. Keep going and in the end you find a moving rudder with ledges, climb on and keep going and you get to some veins on the wall, past it you come to some large swinging object which act as platform for you. Jump on the next one and keep going and jump onto the next part of the platform ahead. You come to a hook, take it and the next vine and use the ledges, pillar and more ledges and the next set of hooks and ledges and more hooks till you come to the end and you need to fall down. Just keep going and going and after some more jumping around you come to the door leading to the eternal throne. Objective: Speak to the Lord of Bones You need to speak with the chancellor first who wants you to defeat the champion of the arena. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Toll of Kings Book of Dead Pages - 2 Stone Of Mystics - 2 Relic of Renagoth - 1 Boatman Coin - 2 Soul Arbiter's Scrolls - 2 Stone of Power - 1 Relic Of Etu-Goth - 2 First, speak to the advanced moves trainer below and he gives you The Bloodless quest and a talisman. Keep the talisman aside for later use. Objective: Find the entrance to the Gilded Arena Go towards the exit and earlier you might have seen a locked door which is open now. Use the vines to get to it and go out. You'll meet the merchant again and go to the left end of this place (left of the dungeon ahead) right in the end you find the BOOK OF DEAD PAGE X1. Go to the entrance of the Arena and your quest gets updated. Objective: Summon the Arena's Champion As soon as you enter the place you'll see a [[STONE OF MYSTICS X2]] on the statue to the side. Keep going and the first door you come to, leads to the arena. For now, go down to the next door and exit this place. You come outside and after you pass thru the next large gate, stay to the right edge of the path and keep moving from the right edge and after a bit you find a [[RELIC OF RENAGOTH 1]] behind a large rock. Go back to the Gilded Arena and thru the first door which you didn't take earlier. As soon as you enter thru the door you see a lantern and a green beam which you saw on top of the Maw tower earlier. There's a handle to the right of the statue, turn it towards the other door and go thru. Use the vine wall and hook to get to the next door. Aftr you come you, you meet some souls of the Arena who give you instructions on how to bring out Gnashor and the like. You need to place three animus stones on the statue head and then you get to kill the champ. They also show you three doors and light up the torches outside the one you need to go thru. FIRST ANIMUS STONE The door you saw in the cutscene is a level above you. Go to the right (you really need to look around) and use the ledge to get to the top and then around to the main door. After you go in, you come to broken stairs, go to the bottom to get a [[BOATMAN COIN]] and then use the ledge to get to the door and go thru After the fight, keep going and you reach a different kind of door (not thr usual skull eye glowing door). Go thru and you find a lantern beam. You should be able to see the [[BOATMAN COIN]] to the right here. Go on the steps in the center of this place and stand on the pressure plate on the rigth edge and after the grate to the right opens, pull a bomb to you and go back to the lantern and blow it. Use the Deathgrip to get the lantern to you and place it on the pressure plate. Go thru the area where the bomb is and soon you come to a lever. Go around and you will be on top overlooking the lantern which you put on the plate. Pull it to you and take it back to the stautw which has no lantern up here. The green beam will open the path to the next area. Keep going and a bit befor the end, to the left on a hanging cage is a [[STONE OF MYSTICS X3]]. Go to the statue here to get the Animus Stone and fight the enemies and go out from the right. You will soon come to a door to the left after which you see the Red Skull of the Soul Arbiter. Go there and go straight till you see a little place to the left where you find the [[SOUL ARBITER'S SCROLL 3]] (WWNE). Look up here itself and you see a skeleton holding a [[STONE OF POWER X2]]. Go straight to the next room where you can pick up the Dungeon Map and then use the suppports on the wall to get out of this place and you come into the grounds. Go near the statue and use Deathgrip to place the Animus Stone. As soon as you do so, the next main door lights up and some skeletons come at you to take you out. Kill them and use one of the open doors to get back to the top area. From this place go around all the way till the end where you see some rubble which you can walk on and go up to the next place and then thru the next main door. SECOND ANIMUS STONE Again, a lantern ahead, go thru the door which is being lit and up the stairs. You find a gap and a bomb ahead, take the bomb with the deathgrip and before you go down, use it on the growth to the right of the statue without a lantern here and go down from there to a chest. After that, go back to the bomb and take it to the first lantern statue and blow up the growth here. Go thru the area and you come to some narrow walls ahead, look behind you to find a shadow bomb. Throw it to the other side (it will not explode), jump on the right wall and then onto the left wall to get to the other side. Take the bomb to the next room and blow the growth but before you go anywhere, turn the lantern onto the bridge nearby and go on it to the other side and take the BOOK OF DEAD PAGE X2. After you blew up that growth, you'll see another door turn the lantern to it and go thru. You can see a red skull to the right on top as soon as you enter the next place. Go to the left here and you find the [[SOUL ARBITER'S SCROLL 4]] [ESN]. Go into the place to the left to pick up a lantern. Take the lantern into the room with the statue and lantern and place it on the pressure plate to the right of the statue. Now, leave it there and you go back all the way to the first statue and lantern and turn it to the closed gate and use deathgrip to grab the free lantern. Turn the statue back around and take the free lantern to the free statue on top of the steps here and the bridge with the bomb closes and you can go to the other area. As you go down the broken steps you will find the [[RELIC OF ETU-GOTH 3]]. Use the next set of steps to get to the bottom where you come into a room filled with trash stuff. Smash everything here and also the crosses which are around. Each time you smash a cross, some bone head warriors come at you. Kill all of them and a chest comes up from nowhere. Keep going after that and fight evrything and take the next stone. Continue onwards to the other side and in the last place, you can find some deathgrip hooks on top, take them and keep going till you come out to the main grounds again and place this stone too. THIRD ANIMUS STONE Now, go thru the next main door which is on this floor itself on the other side and you face some enemies as soon as you enter this place. Go ahead and then right from the bridge and go on to the other side where you fight dozens of skeletons at once after which you come to a lever and a pressure plate. Step on the plate to get the bridge to the left up and take the shadow bomb. Place it on the lever and go adn stand near the throne nearby and shoot the bomb. This makes the throne room turn and you get to the next place. You'll directly come to the next stone area but this time you have a surprise waiting for you. Scarabs are very tough monsters. You cannot do anything to their shell so you need to keep hitting them with combos as they move around. They are not that tough too, just take the stone after you kill it and place the last one in the head and we get to the main part. Objective: Kill Gnashor BOSS: Gnashor NOTE: The most important thing whille fighting Gnashor is to know that if you let him hit you then he will absorb your health and use it to heal himself. So make sure you take as little number of hits as Deathly possible. Also, keep the Deathgrip on you at all times because that's the only thing which will win this fight. For the first bout, it moves around under the ground, do not stay in it's path and occasionally when it pops up it's head and shouts, you need to use your Deathgrip to pull it down and hit it. So stay close to it while it's moving and pull it as soon as it's head comes out. After a while, it will assemble it's main body and even now, shouts sometimes, when it shouts you should see a blue ring on his face which means you can use Deathgrip on his face. Stay close to him and as soon as you see him shout, pull him down, this will make the worm part fall off, start striking it with combos and when it getss back to the body dodge all the attacks (it has some greath looking attacks). After you kill it, you get it's Golden Skull and also the satisfaction of winning the best fight in the game till now (the best - maybe not the toughest). Now, you can go to the Eternal Throne to meet the King and after you are done with him, look behind his throne to find [[RELIC OF ETU-GOTH 4]]. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Bloodless Part 1,2 The first monster like I mentiond earlier is in the area above the room having the treasure chest and portals. You can get there by fast travelling to the Dungeon door named as The Maw which on the main map is right belwo the Breach area. Once you are here, go straight on the bridge and turn right at the junction (pass the place leading into Serpent's Peak) and keep going till the end, remember that you need to have the Bloodless Talisman on you to be able to see them. The Bloodless2 The second monster in in the Lair of the Deposed King. Go in thru the door which leads to the inner lair of the King and go to the place where the three doors are meeting to the right of the map (look in your map), this is like a square area with rounded edges. You will find the monster in there. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Phariseer Soul Arbiter's Scrolls - 3 Stone of Resistance - 1 Stone of Mystics - 2 Boatman Coins - 2 Relic of Etu-Goth - 2 Stone of Power - 2 Book of Dead Pages - 2 Get back to the junciton of the bridges and turn onto the one we did not take yet which leads to the main are of the Maw as shown on your map and as soon as you come off the bridge turn right into the structure and use the supports to get to the top side. Here, you see a red skull as soon as you come down on the top and you will also find [[SOUL ARBITER'S SACRED SCROLL 5]]. Go around and use the next wall post to get higher and you come to a lantern statue. Turn in around to the other side and you see a cutscene of it shining something on top of the dungeon named as Maw on your map. Fast travel to the dungeon and go in adn use the wall posts to the left after you enter the door (we came here and saw the statue on top earlier). Go to the statue on top and go to the right of the statue first and shoot down the [[STONE OF RESISTANCE X1]]. Now, turn the statue towards the other one and go back up and take the treasures (the grates of which were closed earlier). Go infront of Phariseer's Tomb and right from there till the edge where you come to a large buinding and the path that leads into the next path which has the Soul Arbiter's Maze and the Judicator's Tomb on it. Here, you can see [[STONE OF MYSTICS X4]] to the left in a small window above the main arch. ---- Sentinel's Gaze ---- NOTE: You can come back to The Sentinel's Gaze later with a new power which allows you to do all the stuff without the hit and miss stuff below. You need not do any of this now. You will be back later anyway. Go back all the way and you should now go into the place to the left of Phariseer's Tomb which leads underground into the Sentinel's Gaze. This place just has a couple of stuff and a chest to which you cannot reach yet. Anyway, you will find a [[BOATMAN COIN]] around to the right side. You will find a platform to the left which takes you higher where you can pick up bombs, but here, look behind the left side torch and you find [[RELIC OF ETU-GOTH 5]]. Go to the right of the tower from the ground and you can see a ledge up top which takes you onto the lower section of the tower where you see a growth blocking your way. Now, go and take the shadow bomb and stand on the left edge of this platform look to the side of the main tower of Sentinel's Gaze and aim and carefully throw the bomb in such a way that it hits the growth (you obviously need a ton of proper aiming and luck but you can do it - it is possible even though you cannot see the growth from here). After you explde the growth, go there and take the ledge to the top where you see another growth blocking you way to a chest - now this one - you cannot hit even if you try a million times (I know because I did try). Look behind on the statue though and you find [[STONE OF POWER X3]] ---- Phariseer's Tomb ---- And now, it's time to enter the tomb, so jsut go there and thru the large ornate outer gate. You immediately come onto a crystal elvator, strike the crystal to make the elevator go down and you enter the main tomb. You can pick up a [[BOATMAN COIN]] if you look to the back edge of this area and then go thru the door ahead. You will come to a pressure plate, a bomb, two sets of growths and ledges. Use the bomb on the two growths and get the chest and then get to the place with the second growth where the bronze pillar is standing and push it down from where it is. Take it infornt of the large gate which is being opened by the pressure plate and take a bomb and place it in it's middle. Now, the position of the pillar should be so that (the explosion pushes it back) the gate falls on it and go stand on the plate and shoot the bomb and let the gate fall on the pillar. Now go thru the door ahead and look on top to the right to shoot down [[STONE OF MYSTICS X5]]. You should be on a elevator now with four crystals and with each hit, the specific crystals take you to that floor. Let's check this floor first. IV FLOOR Go in thru the door and go up the stairs from the left or right and look behind the large statue to find BOOK OF DEAD PAGE X3. Then come back out onto the elevator and take it down to the first floor. I FLOOR Go straight first (this is the door which has no path/door opposite to it) and you come into a large area, look left and you ought to see a Deathgrip hook on top, use it to go up and you will find the BOOK OF DEAD PAGE X4 here. Go back outside for now and thru the right side door where you find a Deathgrip hook ahead below a cage. Use the ledges to the left to get to a lever and make sure that the left side cage comes down (there are two cages which alternate according to the position of the lever). When you are sure the left cage is down. Use the hook to get to the opposite side and look on the cage to see a Shoadow Bomb. Take it with your grip and throw it somewhere near the lever we just used (do not throw it on the lever yet). The bomb won't explode so get back to the lever and push it so that the left cage comes down and go back to the door side of the room. Now, stay close to the edge and shoot the bomb and as it explodes on the lever, the cage ahead comes down, use this one first and then the next to get to the other side and grab the Skeleton Key. You will have to fight perhaps the most annoying enemy in the game - The Wraiths. These things are very fast so the moment you see them raise their swords, be assured that they are going to strike you. So, keep hitting them and as soon as you see them make a move, dodge away. After you kill them take the elevator to the third floor. III FLOOR Go thru the locked door and keep going and going till you see yet another new enemy to fight. This guy is holding a shield so you cannot attack him straight on, dodge around him and take him out or wait for an opening and kill him (it will take a little time). You will find the [[RELIC OF ETU-GOTH 6]] in this room. After you kill the enemy go near the next area and just before the narrow lane is a red skull to the right on the wall. Go ahead a few steps and look behind the cage to the left of right and you find the [[SOUL ARBITER'S SACRED SCROLL 6]]. Go ahead and after you exit, you come to a ledge. use the next series of these to get thru the door and in the next area, look straight on the head of the statue ahead and shoot down the [[STONE OF POWER X4]]. Shoot the bomb to the left above the growth and run on the wall to get to the support. Use the next series of pillars and supports to go below and onto a vein wall leading down to the first floor again and to a lever. Pull the lever and go down to the bronze pillar and move it out to the center (hit MMB to push it fast). You will have the pillar rigth below the elevator now on the pressure plate. Go back in and use the same set of pillars to go back up to the third floor and finally go to the second floor. II FLOOR If you came onto the second floor earlier then you will see a ghost and he breaks the elevator locks on this floor causing the elevator to fall down. So we used the pillar to hold the elevator in place. Now, go thru the main door ahead and into the center and you will meet Phariseer. Phariseer may have put up a great big show but is really a very easy kill. Just ignore everything else and keep striking him till he is defeated and you have a buddy. Go back down to the first floor and thru the final door we didn't take earlier (have interdiction equipped). When you step on the soul ring, it will glow in two slots and your friends will come out. You can look around and see if there are any green glowing spots on anything (usually levers behind grills and pressure plates are shown in gree) and hit mmb to command your ghost to use that thing. This way you can move around hassel free. Remember that there are certain palces with rune deactivator strips on the ground (black strips) which if you pass past, the ghosts go away, you won't need the ghosts past those strips anyway so don't worry. Go down to the door and go to the other side of the room where you see another red skull. Fall down thru the hole and you find the [[SOUL ARBITER'S SACRED SCROLL 7]] - you might need to first place one of your sould buddies on the pressure plate to open up the area. Now, go about killing everyone that comes at you (hairy fight). After you kill everything, use the ledges around here to get to the top and out of here. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Judicator Boatman Coins - 1 Soul Arbiter's Scrolls - 1 Relic of Etu-Goth - 1 Book of Dead Pages - 1 Stone of Power - 1 Objective: Find the judicator's Tomb Look in the main map and go right from Phariseer's Tomb to the path leading to the Judicator's Tomb. In the middle you will come to a fort (where you shot the Stone of Mystics earlier). Stand on the soul circle here and use the souls to pull the lever behind the grill to the left to open the grills. If you go right you will find a [[BOATMAN COIN]] and in the end a chest. Fall down from the chest and go to the exit side and you will come to some steps, don't go out, look to the right here to find the [[SOUL ARBITER'S SCROLL 8]]. Now go out and just outside, look to the right on the wall and you see a wall post leading up to a chest. Head towards the Soul Arbiter's Maze and look to the right behind a large rock close to the entrance to find [[RELIC OF ETU-GOTH 7]]. Now, go back and onto the large stone bridge leading to the junction between the City of Dead and The Spine. Near the junction go straight ahead and past the platform ahead to the left is the BOOK OF DEAD PAGE X5. Now, go into the Spine and look in the map and go all the way to the right corner of the Spine. Here you find another fort, go to it's right and on the edge behind a rock is the [[RELIC OF RENAGOTH]]. Look on the wall here to find a wall post and go up using the hook, ledge and vein wall keep going and you will come to a chest. Take what's in it and look behind you opposite to the chest to find the [[STONE OF POWER X5]]. The rest of this area in not explorable because of the portals so we need to come back here after we get that power. Objective: Speak with the Judicator Head to the Judicator's Tomb and go in. Go thru the door ahead and you come to a large grill with a lever inside it. Go to the right where you find a soul circle, summon your buddies and ask them to pull the lever for you. Now, go thru the newly opened door and you come into a large are and you know that there is a lot of stuff to do here. First, look up and shoot the [[STONE OF POWER X6]]. You can see the Soul Arbiter's symbol to the left. Go right first into the room and you get to fight Undead Prowlers - they are still the same things but can hurt a bit more than the live ones. Use the soul circle here to bring up the Dead Lords and go ahead and pull the lever. Go back out and into the left side room and go down the stairs. Use your dead buddies - one on the left plate and the other on the right plate and all the grills open up, take the treasures and go back up and jump down ahead to where the two platforms and the bronze pillar is. Pull the pillar and place it inbetween the two platforms. Go back up using the ledges to the side here and jump onto the first platform and then onto the pillar, use a dead lord on the pressure plate ahead and then get on the next platform and go across. Go to the right from the pressure plate and behind the pillar is [[THE SOUL ARBITER'S SCROLL 9]]. Go thru the door ahead now and you meet the Judicator. After the small talk, he opens the grill to the right door. Go there and get through. [[-------------------------------------------- [[-------------------------------------------- [[----- Objective: Find the First Soul -----]] Go thru the door and the next one and you meet a new enemy - Lich. It keeps raising some Hosts from the ground. You need to kill them and the Lich - you can also only concentrate on the Lich but it's better to bring down the numbers of the Hosts. After you kill the Lich, go thru the next door and in the end you find a soul ring, use it to bring up your buddies and then go thru the door ahead. Use one of your dead lords on the pressure plate across the place so that the bridge comes up. Go to the straight across to where you can see little growth ahead and use a Dead Lord to stand on the pressure plate, the growth is blocking the second part of the bridge but you can use Deathgrip to grab onto the dead lord because he is stone now. Get to the other side and take the Dungeon Map from the right. Take the bomb from the left and blast the growth, then grab the lantern ahead and stand on the plate till the bridge comes up and walk ahead - it won't fall quickly. Place it on the statue and turn it towards the side with the grill blocking the chest and go there. come back and turn the statue to the locked door and it opens. Use a dead lord and get across and go thru the door. You will come to the top of the area where you fought the Lich from earlier. Go thru the next door ahead and you come into a place with water to the left. Jump into the water to the left and dive and go around the place below and you will find the [[RELIC OF KHAGOTH 2]]. Go back up and use the ledges which are on the wall nearby to reach all the way to the top (jumping from hooks and all). Once you reach the top ledge, jump backwards onto the platform and take your first soul. As soon as you take the soul, a couple of undead warriors and a Lich show up. Kill them and jump back on the ledge and fall down. You will fall right beside a chest. Go to the right a bit and jump onto the next place with the chest and then get back and speak to the Judicator. [[--------------------------------------------- [[--------------------------------------------- [[----- Objective: Find the Second Soul -----]] Go thru the newly opened door and you come to the same sort of bridge as the last one. Go thru the door and you come into an open space with a locked door. You will get into a fight now and try to get the reaper guage up full if you have not already. You will fight a bigger monsters soon. Start killing everything and after all the small ones go down, you face a Tormentor. If you use the Reaper against him, he gets killed in a jiffy. After that, go to all the open chambers to the left and right and you find the [[SOUL ARBITER'S SCROLL 10]]. In the chamber to the right ahead, go to the left middle one and you see a door ahead. Go thru the door and stand on the soul circle and bring up the dead lords. Walk a bit to the right corner and make one of them stand on the plate to the right ahead behind the grill. This brings up a couple of wall posts. Run on the wall to the left and get onto the first platfrom where you see a chest. Run on the next wall too and you come to the other side. Go ahead and look to the left to find the BOOK OF DEAD PAGE X6. Walk to the other side and use your Deathgrip after jumping ahead to get to the top and use the lever you come to. You see a grip hook come somewhere and the grill to the left also comes down. First, go kill off the skeletons to the left and then go back to the lever and fall down thru the hole which is to the opposite of the pillar and you come back down to the beginning. Go to the right now and look up and you see the hook that came down. Go to the hook and use it to go to the top and from the ledge go left onto a platform where you see a chest. Go down to the platform below to get the [[RELIC OF ETU-GOTH 8]]. You can go back to the hook and the ledge and continue right from the ledge to get back top and then go thru the door after the lever. In the next area, kill the things to the left and you find a chest with a Key. Take the key and go back all the way to the locked door and go thru it. As you come thru the door look to the left on top and you see a grip hook and also a book of dead page to the right on a broken staircase. You can get to it later. For now, you need to use the next series of hooks to get to the top. There's a [[BOATMAN COIN]] in the water. Use the hook ahead to get up adn then jump from this platform onto the hook ahead and after Death reachs the top of his run jump back and grab the next hook and then the next one too as soon as you see the symbol and after you go up, grab the hook again and you reach a ledge. Go to the left of the ledge and you see another hook which takes you to the top of the platform. You find the soul here but you need to fight a couple of undead champions and an undead savage stalker after you take the soul. Now do not jump down. Go to the left edge of where you found the soul and in your mini-map you will be standing right on top of a chest. Look below and you will see the broken part of a staircase. Jump carefully to land on it and take the chest. Now go to the left edge of this one too and jump down carefully to the broken part below to get to the BOOK OF DEAD PAGE X7. Go back and give the Judicator his soul and turn to the last one. [[-------------------------------------------- [[-------------------------------------------- [[----- Objective: Find the Third Soul -----]] Go thru the door and use the ledges on the right to get to the other door ahead and then you come to a soul circle. Keep going ahead and you will come onto an elevator. Wait for both your undead lords to come onto the elevator and then hit the second level crystal - but wait, an undead General to fight. Kill him and go to the second level but you are blocked by a growth. Place both your generals onto the pressure plates on either sides and go behind the right plate and you will find wall posts and ledges above you. Jump on them and keep going on them till you get to the shadow bomb. Throw it on the crystal below and the elevator comes up. Go thru the door to the left now. You find a [[BOATMAN COIN]] in the water below. Go up the steps here and use the hook to jump ahead onto the upper platform. Go around the platform to the back side to find the BOOK OF DEAD PAGE X8. Now, go to the central area and pick up the soul, look to the side opposite to the soul (the place you came in here from and look to the top left and shoot the [[STONE OF MYSTICS X6]]- no fighting this time. Go back.... And poof...comes the Bone Keeper. The skeletons will keep coming forever and unless you hurt the one hanging from the top you cannot get out of here. If you have the Murder power then you can send your birds away to do the work or you will need to thin down the numbers of the skeletons and then shoot the hanger for a while and kill more skulls and so on. Try to get your reaper meter full and after the bone keeper you fight the Bone Giant. Use the reaper if you have the form ready or jsut attack and roll away and attack and again roll away and so on. Go back to the Judictor who comes along and you meet with the real king of the dead who wants you to seek out the guides at the Gilded Arena (the same ones who told you how to bring out Gnashor from earlier). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Basileus Relic of Renagoth - 1 Stone of Mystics - 1 Relic of Etu-Goth - 1 [[----- Objective: Find the Psychameron -----]] Go into the Gilded Arena and the guides will speak to you. They have their own thoughts about Death entering the Psychameron but they do let him through. As soon as you fall in, the greeting party arrives. [[----- Objective: Survive the Psychameron -----]] The first fight has a couple of Undead Stalkers coming at you. You will find it difficult so hope you have the reaper meter up. After you kill one, another one pops up. Kill everything here and you can go thru the large ornate door ahead and use the soul circle to bring up the dead lords. Stand on the platform ahead and make a dead lord stand on the pressure palte to lift you up. Before you do that, you may want to take the things from the chest which you can reach by the ledges behind the pressure plate. Go thru the door above the platform and soon you will find out why this place is called Psychameron. Go to the left and make a lord stand on the plate here. Go on the birdge and make another one stand on the plate far ahead to open this door. Go thru the door and release the dead lord behind the gate who is on the plate keeping the bridge up. Go on the lane here to the locked gate. ------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- -----The Locked Door and the Key----- Look to the right to see a pressure plate. Release the dead lord who is close to you too and aim and command one to stand on the plate ahead past the gap. When they do stand you will see that the grill behind him opens. But that's not our concern, jump into the abyss and while falling, use Deathgrip on the dead lord to get to him. Look below the place you came from and you will see a pressure plate. Aim and command and another lord comes there and jump and pull yourself there too. Go straight across him and in the end, look at the pillar ahead on the wall. Before you do anything, look behind on top of the pressure plate and you will see a grip hook and a ledge. Use Deathgrip to go up and find the [[RELIC OF RENAGOTH 2]]. Go back down and to the junction, first left and above and pull the lever here to open the door and go back to the pillar and use it to get down. Go thru the door and you come to the key chest. Bring up the dead lords and look to the left at the three levers. You will need to aim and use the lords to pull the lever one by one, the correct sequence is 2,3,1. This will bring down the chest, take the key and go back to the locked door. ------------------------------------- Go thru the locked door and you will see some large aracnid monsters far away. Go ahead and you will come to a pressure plate, stand on it and look to the left. While standing on the plate, aim and command a lord to go to the plate far to the platform of the right ahead. This will open a door up top. Go thru the opened door and before you run on the wall, look down and aim and send a lord onto the plate below to the right. Now, go onto the ledge and jump onto the small ledge to the right and then onto the pillar. Go to the bottom of the pillar and jump and use deathgrip to pull yourself to the lord who is on the pressure plate. Release him and move ahead and to the next pressure plate which is behind some grills. Use your lord here and go ahead and pull the lever to bring up the bridge. Go up all the way and thru the door. When you see a conjuration circle again, bring up your lords and fight off all the monsters and go thru the door after that. Run on the wall to get to the lever and pull it. Go thru the opened door and after you go out the next door, look back on top of the door to find the [[STONE OF MYSTICS X7]]. Go ahead and just as you step past the bridge, go right to get the [[RELIC OF ETU-GOTH 9]]. Keep going on the path ahead and you will come into a chamber filler with darkness. -------------------------- -------------------------- Boss: Basileus and Achidna -------------------------- First up is Basileus, his attacks are easily dodged, just move around to dodge him. It's best to have a fast secondary weapon equipped for this fight because the enemies are pretty fast and you can get only a few strikes before you will need to dodge away. When you are close to him, hit him and as soon as he rises go away. Use your wrath powers and also the pistol for a distance if you want to. After a quart of his health goes down, you meet Achidna. Again, stay away from them and if your reaper meter is full then use it or keep your distance and the moment you see Achidna jump, dodge away to avoid some damage. The more you keep dodging, the lesser you will get hit. If you have the Grim talisman on then keep dodging and shooting till the meter is full and use the reaper. Likewise, use Murder or any other power to get as much reaper points as you can. They will die, and easily too. You can go back to the forge lands and inform Thane of Achidna's death and then get back to the Eternal Throne. --------------------- ***important*** NOTE: Do not sell Achidna's Fangs or lose them, they are great fast secondary weapons and more importantly, they give Death health each time he deals a critical hit (which is a great many times if you have the proper crit score) but even then, it will be very very useful in the future - especially in the next dungeon we are going to explore - Boneriven. So even if you get a weapon which is five times stronger than this, do not distard this one. --------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sentinel's Gaze - Boneriven Stone of Mystics - 1 Soul Arbiter's Scrolls - 2 Now that we have the soul splitter power, we can go to sentinel's gaze. Fast travel there and go in. Split Death and make one stand on top near a growth looking at the shadow bomb below. Make the other one throw a bomb while aiming at the other Death - this makes the other part catch it so that the bomb does not go waste. Now use this other guy to throw the bomb onto the growth. Do it on the bottom one and again on the upper level. If you are coming here for the first time (I made a trip earlier in the walkthrough) then you can pick up a etu-goth and a power stone, just read the earlier section. Now, after the second growth is gone, go in, loot the chest and fall into the hole behind the chest. This takes us to a totally nasty place called Boneriven. ----------------------------- ----------------------------- ---- Exploring Boneriven ---- As soon as you fall in, you'll fight an undead stalker, move ahead and step on the plate. Wait till the gate ahead goes up fully and then move ahead quickly. Like I mentioned earlier, have Acchidna's Fangs on as the secondary weapon on Death. You'll see a couple of shadow bombs on the walls and some growth ahead blocking a pressure plate. Now, position Death on the plate to the right facing the gate ahead (approximately) so the moment he snaps out of the soul split you ought to dodge and roll him into the other side past the gate. Go from the lower area next (even the upper area leads to the same place). Use the wall posts to get to the other side and kill the skulls. Here, go on the upper lane and look on the rock to the right to get the [[STONE OF MYSTICS X8]]. You'll find a bomb up here which you need to take back down and blow the growth with. You'll find a dungeon map inside. Go thru the next gate too and after a brief fight move ahead and go thru the lane to the left. Use the grip hook to get past the gap and keep going till you come to a lane with mini caves to the left and right. You also see a red skull to the right here. You'll find the [[SOUL ARBITER'S SACRED SCROLL 11]] here to the third right cave. Ahead, you see a pressure plate. Ignore it and go right to the other side where you get into another fight, in Boneriven, all the fights have the nastly little Scarabs in them. Use Achidna's fangs to get rid of them quickly (hold shift to aim and start slashing till they stop coming). Get rid of the Scarab Mounds first to make the Scarabs stop - any live ones will also be killed. You see another plate here, stand on it facing the gate and split here. Take a part to the other plate and after the gate opens, un-split and go thru it. In the end you need to take a left again and you come into a large open area. Here you will fight some Undead Scarab Hulks so first, kill of the 4 or 5 Scarab mounds around this place and then get to the Hulk. After that kill the other two which come and use the plates and the gate to get out. You'll come to another chain of mini caves again with a red skull. In the first cave to the right you can pick up the [[KEEN TALISMAN]]. In the last but one cave to the right is the [[SOUL ARBITER'S SACRED SCROLL 12]]. You will now reach the final place where you get a chest for all the trouble. TO get out of this place you will need to fast travel out of here. ----------------------------------- ----------------------------------- ---- Treasure under the Bridge ---- Now, open your map and start from the stone bridge above the Lair of the Deposed King and come towards the lair, as soon as you exit the bridge, go right and look carefully and you will find a broken wall with ledges to the right which take you under the bridge (jump left from below onto the rubble slope). Anyway, there's bombs and growths and plates here which lead to a chest In the chest place, you can take out the growth by blasting the bomb to the left of the growth with your gun. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- City of The Dead Book of Dead Pages - 4 Relic of Renagoth - 1 Relic of Etu-Goth - 1 Soul Arbiter's Scrolls - 2 Boatman Coins - 2 Stone of Power - 1 --------------------------------------------------- [[---- Objective: Go to the City of The Dead ----]] Go there anyway you want to and then split Death and make each one drag the statues to the left and right to the left and right respectively and the gate opens up for us to enter. ---------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- [[---- Objective: Explore the City of The Dead ----]] Before you come into the city you had been asked to seek out a soul in the deepest areas and also were told that a soul was seeking you. The city of the dead is an elaborate construction and you may even forget the path you just took because of the many many paths available for us to go to and the many mini puzzles we need to play to get thru to the next area - not to mention the toughest enemies till now. Anyway, enter the city and go thru the first gate. You may want to have Achidna's Claws on because you will again face many Scarabs. Go thru the door to the left ahead and turn right immediately and break anything here and grab the BOOK OF DEAD PAGE X9. Split up and make a form stand on the plate to the left of the blocked door ahead and make the other form use the ledges to the left of the plate area here to get to a lever which opens the gate ahead. Then go thru and you come into the main area of the City of the Dead. You can also see a locked door to the right as you enter, the key to which is somewhere far away and the main gate ahead which leads to the end of the city - blocked with bars. ------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- [[---- Locked Door and the Key ----]] From here go to the left of the locked door and you will find another blocked door as you go down the steps - this is the main gate, look behind you to the left of the steps and you find the [[RELIC OF RENAGOTH 3]] in some steam coming up from the grill below. Go back to the top and go to the door directly opposite to the locked door. You will go past broken walls and you can can see a pillar on the wall to the left which leads up - but the gate above is blocked and we will come back later for that, continue on the path here and run on the wall when you come to the gap. You will come to a statue now which needs a lantern. Go to the right of the statue and thru the door, just as you come out, look to the right of the door to find a ledge and use the pillars on the wall and you will come into a small room with [[LICH SPINES]] -- this like Achidna's Fangs is a great weapon but instead of health it gives Wrath so do not lose this. Fall down and continue ahead to the next door. You come to a turn lever in the ground. Split up and make a form turn the lever in the ground fully to the right. Make another form go ahead thru the now opeend gate and take a bomb from the left. Go back and use the bomb on the lever which is to the right now across the gap. After the bomb explodes on the lever, the gate opposite opens and you can drag out the floating platform. Un-split and take the platform near the closed gate ahead. Stand on it and split now so that the rock statue stands on the movable platform. Now, make a form use the turn lever and make the other push the platform across to the other side and un-split and you will get past the gate. There are two plates ahead too. Use them to get to the chest and then go right here. Go up the first set of steps and you come to another set to the left. But wait, look to the right at the foot of the steps and on the right wall below is a hole which will take us to the lower lever. Anyway, go on the steps first to get to a chest and come back to fall thru the hole. You'll fall to a chest, open it and move ahead and you will come to a chest with the Key in it and a lever to the left. Use the lever, go out and open the locked door and go thru it. ---------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- [[---- The Moving Bridge and the Lantern ----]] On the other side of this bridge is a blocked door. First, stand on this side of the bridge near the door you came thru - make sure you are standing on the bridge and then make a part go ahead to the other side where you can see a hook to the right. Take it to get to a ledge above and go to the right and fall off. Here on the corner of the wall to the right is the [[SOUL ARBITER'S SCROLL 13]] Use the ledges here on the wall near the gap and eun up the wall to the top and you come to a turn lever again. First - to the right of the lever is a hole which will take you back down - do not fall in it. Past the hole is the BOOK OF DEAD PAGE X10. This completes another chapter. When you are out of this place, go to Vulgrim and sell the book for the bone key. The tomb door is in the lowest lever in The Deposed King's Lair - use the steps to go there. Come back to the lever and turn it around. Now, swith to the other form and take it ahead and pick up the next [[BOATMAN COIN]] and go to the left where you see a vine wall which takes you to a hook and a chest. Come back here and go ahead into the lanes where you find a lever which opens the portcullis which was blocking the lantern earlier. Go back outside to the main area - the lantern is to the left of the locked door from earlier. Take the lantern in the lane which we first took - opposite to where the locked door was and palce it down when you come to the gap and get to the other side. Pull the lantern to you using Deathgrip and place it on the statue. First, turn the statue to the blocked place to the left which opens the grills and leads to the BOOK OF DEAD PAGE Y1. Yep, the next chapter's pages start now itself. Turn the beam to the large pillar in the void ahead and a bridge comes up. ------------------------------- ------------------------------- ------------------------------- [[---- The Many Battles ----]] Go to the other side and thru the door and use the vine wall to get above and use the hook and vines to get to a door. You come to another bridge now. Go to the right now and you will come to a lever which will turn the bridge, but look to the right corner here and you find the [[RELIC OF ETU-GOTH 10]]. Go to the bridge, stand on it and split up, send a part to pull the lever and then un-split to get on the turned bridge. Split again and make a part stand in the golden wall lever to the left. Make the other part go ahead and take the bomb here and thrown it on the lever which is to the left of the door ahead. After the lever is bombed, the grill to the left of the wall lever comes down. Keep a part on the wall lever and make another part go further ahead to the right where you see a vein wall which leads to a [[BOATMAN COIN]]. The path below leads too two Wraiths and a chest. Look on the wall to the right of the chest to find the [[STONE OF POWER X7]]. After that, un-split and go to the door (which had the grill blocking it removed). You come to narrow walls which you need to run and jump on to get to a door on the other side and a lever. Use the lever and go thru the door and you come to another lever which opens the blocked gate which was infront of the first moving bridge from earlier. Now, go right past the grills which were blocking you and thru the door and to the first bridge and thru the newly open door. As soon as you enter here you get into a huge fight. First wave has three Wraiths, second has an Undead General and you fight Tormentors one by one after that - try to get your reaper guage full by the time you get to the tormentors. Go thru the next door and use the Deathgrip and bea ready to make a run for your life. As soon as you get on top of the wall lever ahead the ground comes up with spikes on it. You need to get to the top without getting killed, so do that - you may need to try a few times to know the exact locations of the hooks and ledges. AFter you get to the top, pull the lever and go thru the door and you come out. You can open the chest which is to the left here. This place will now be littered with monsters. Make sure you have you best equipment on because it's going to be a frenzy. As you move up the stairs here you face - Undead Stalker first, Two Abominations, and finally Three Wraiths - nothing we cannot handle. When you get to the door, go thru it and use the wall pillars to get to the other side (there's a chest below). Go thru the door and you come to the great elevator. -------------------------------- -------------------------------- -------------------------------- [[---- The Great Elevator ----]] Get to the door to the other side and go thru it, you will come to a hook on the wall on the other side. Soon you'll come to a pressure plate. Stand and split on it and make a part go right onto the ledges, then on the hook and the other ledges to reach the lever. Pull the lever and go back to the open door and thru it. Pull the lever here too to open the grill ahead and use the hook above to get onto the great elevator. Here, you have a locked door again, another door blocked by large rods. Turn the beam onto the third door and use the hook to get to it and thru the door. As soon as you come in, you get into a huge fight again with Hulks. Kill them and use the bomb to blast the growth blocking the vine wall. Use the vines to get to the top. Walk on the stairs to the right and go out to get the Key from the chest outside and use the hooks to get across and thru the door. Come back on the elevator and turn the beam on top of the locked door. Now, look at the wall posts below. Fall down and use them to get to the locked door. As soon as you get in, break the boxes here for BOOK OF DEAD PAGE Y2. Use the ledge to the right here and go to the other side. Use the other ledges here and you come near another floating platform behind some grills. Fall down to where the pressure plates are and split on the right plate, place another on the left plate and take a part up to the platform. Look on the left wall here to get the [[SOUL ARBITER'S SACRED SCROLL 14]]. Now, move the platform outside so you can stand on it. Split on the platform so that the statue is on it and fall down to the plate and stand on left and right plates alternately and move the platform thru the grills which are open and take it to the door. Unsplit here and place the platform on top of the plate to open this door and go thru it. Pull the lever to open the bars and throw the bomb onto the growth on the elevator and go to the elevator and pull the lever to take it down to the main gate. [[---- The Wailing Host and the Soul ----]] We will go and meet both the souls now - the one which we are looking for and the one that is looking for us. Turn the beam on top of the main gate and go thru it. Go thru the next gate too and you come to a large well like area.... Boss: The Wailing Host This is easier than you think - first, stay very very close to the host - right on the edge of the tunnel he came out from - you will not fall into it. Start striking from here - you can hit him anywhere - he isn't as tough as some of the other opponents we encounterd earlier in the game and Achidna's Fangs make this fight much easier. Just keep hitting and after every quart of his health, he sends some hosts - this is the time get get recharged. Use Achidna's fangs on the hosts to get health and fill up your reaper meter. Also, after each 25% of health, the wailing host falls down and you can do an execution to bring his health down further or do some other kind of damage - so do not forget to hit the execute button. Just keep dodging and the Wailing Host isn't all that. Go thru the door and you meet the soul who you are looking for... Do any other stuff you need to - go to Vulgrim to get the bone key and go to the tomb. Move the two statues to the left and right for more chests inside. If you have the crucible then you get another inviatation for the next set of waves. After that, go thru the tree of death to the Angel Portal to a new world. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Darksiders 2 Walkthrough Part 2To Top
