Darksiders 2 Walkthrough Part 1 – The Keeper of Secrets, Part 1



Death, Despair and Dust all head for the Veil, the Crowfather's home, to seek out the Keeper of Secrets that he might liberate his brother War. Start simply by heading up the slope in front of you as the cold icy winds whip by unfelt. Continue forward until you reach the steps of the Keep. Here Despair will vanish as he can carry you no further. Run and climb up the wall in front of you and head for the keep doors in front of you.



As you approach the doors the 3 blocks of ice to your sides will become a trio of Ice Skeletons. There are a total of 6 around that need to be killed though. Follow the prompts to learn about attacking the dodging, the basic cornerstones of Death's style of combat. Defeat them all and collect any of the coins or loot that they drop. Continue on up the slope toward the large double doors after that.



Dust will appear and fly over to the left of the doors. Approach the doors and they will rise to admit the Horseman. Head inside and move forward. Jump the gap in front of you by wall running to the left. Go just a little more forward to find another block of ice. Slash through it to get into the room behind it. It will also call in 2 more Ice Skeletons. Defeat them and head into the exposed side room. Here you will find a chest. Collect its contents and head back to the main corridor.



Head to the next wall on the right. You will need to Wall Run then climb up using the handholds on the far wall. Once there just climb upwards. Take a moment at the top, as the stones crumble, to smash the 2 ice prisons around you. This will call up another Ice Skeleton from each. Rip them apart with your attacks. It is a good way to get some more combat practice and to get more weapons and armor.



Head forward to the next corner. Here you will find 3 broken pillars Death will have a need to climb and swing from. Get to the other side carefully as you can fall very easily. You will hear the Crowfather calling out to Death as the Horseman as Dust perches to the right of him on an icy outcropping.



Once you land you will notice there is another Ice prison ahead to the right. Smash it to reveal another Ice Skeleton you can kill with ease. Go forward to the left across the short bridge from one room to the next. In this room you will be attacked by 4 more Ice Skeletons who burst from their prisons. Slash through them then turn to the left. You will find another wall to scale.



This wall is a bit different. Start with the run up then dash up the wall to the pillar above you. Now climb up the pillar and Wall Run to the right. Repeat this twice more then, when prompted, drop to the ground below you.



When you land there are more Ice Prisons to be dealt with. Moving forward will unleash another 3 Ice Skeletons on Death as the first wave. The second is a pair of Ice Skeletons held in their prisons. Break them out and kill them. Once they have been dispersed head forward to the left and climb the vines on the wall. Take them up and over to the right. Again, as Death reaches the end of the climb he will hear the Crow Father talking, muttering about something. Drop down to the floor when you have reached the end of the vines.
