MULTI Darksiders II (PC/X360/PS3) - What starts with War, ends with Death

[Chandoo]

[MENTION=9361]Radical[/MENTION] help me out with this thing ..

I defeated the "maker" guy in the courtyard of the first area after the prologue mission, he gave me a mission to find and kill 4 legendary beasts, the closest one is marked on the map and I go to that map marker and stand over it and there's no encounter or monster there ..

how do I go about doing this quest ?

also what exactly does the Strength stat change ? since I had a scythe that added +8 to strength, but a few minutes later I found a scythe with a higher base attack figure, but no Strength buffs, and in the stat menu the DPS (damage per second) for the SECOND scythe is higher, even though it's cutting off 8 points in my strength stat and adding +5 to the weapon attack value ..

makes the strength stat seem kind of pointless.

@at all PC gamers like FAIZY56 and Shary said the fxaa injector makes a BIG difference. without it the games looks to be on medium or low settings.

some screens using fxaa

Yeah I am using it with 90% of games that use DX9.

@Chandoo Those beasts require special gear to reach and/or fight them as you progress through the game.

The first beast which requires no special gear to defeat is Gorewood. It is in the Weeping Crag dungeon/area. You can find him at the bottom of the dungeon by diving underwater & finding it's lair after unlocking the skeleton door. Explore the area you will eventually find him.

About the stats, well weapon base damage is restricted to that particular weapon only, if it offers additional buffs like strength, defense, resistance, arcane etc. then it adds to your base stats & your sceondary weapon will also benefit from the extra strength you gained from your primary weapon/armor/talisman etc.

Look for health buffs in weapons e.g, health per crit, kill or hit! You would gain health just by using the weapon that way! This buff is very rare however, strength defense etc. are more common! You can also acquire weapons with customized stats in this game, they are called possessed weapons, commonly sold by Vulgrim.
He sells an elite box thingy for 50k gold, it contains a random possessed weapon (secondary mostly with fast attribute like gauntlets etc.) You upgrade it by sacrificing loot to it!

So, If you want to increase your strength stat then sacrifice loot with strength buffs to it, thats how it works. The number of upgrades depend on your character level though, high level means more upgrade options.

that is pretty confusing i just select the most expensive one XD....about thane's quest i managed to find gorewood it was pretty straight forward just make sure you properly explore area's and dont leave any door.

@Radical, i dont know if its coming off the amazing sleeper Sleeping Dogs or the fact I played DS1 recently, but I'm finding this game very boring -_- there's nothing fundamentally wrong with it .. I just don't feel like playing it right now .

It tends to happen when you play two of the same type of games in a short span of time. I remember hating Tales of Vesperia immediately after playing Eternal Sonata, but after giving it another shot a few months ago, it turned out awesome.

Try a radically different game and it might help.

 

[Chandoo]

I've got Tell Tale's Walking Dead (both episodes) on the HDD, might give it a shot right now.

Well since I like the hack & slash genre to 'Death' I like this game a lot for it's gameplay & will keep playing it for a long time still. Plot-wise the game is indeed boring. But just like Darksiders the ending is kinda awesome!

i have not played Darksiders 2 yet, but Strength stats usually effect your HP and survivability. It has nothing to do with Damage in most cases. I may be wrong.

I was asking because this doesn't seem to follow the traditional RPG stat system, naturally a higher strength should mean you do more damage per hit, but in this game "strength" is a separate stat from independent DPS stats of each weapon, so a weapon can generally lower your basic strength down 10 points but it can still do more damage per hit because it has a higher DPS rating :S

which is confusing.

 

[Radical]

Keep an eye on the overall rating for the primary & secondary weapons in the stats too! A weapon may have more damage per sec. but it may not be the best weapon overall.

& I don't think strength has anything to do with HP 'cause this game has separate stats for Health, defense, resistance etc.

You character's performance depends on the loot & equipment you choose to equip him with, this game is all about loot & the right equipment for the right situation.

I can only imagine how addicting Diablo 3 can be

i have a question regarding about a blue stone which u seen in some stages what about it ? i try to grab it but cant get it any idea ?

 

[Radical]

If you mean the little glowing stones attached to stuff in the surroundings then those are part of a side quest! To start the quest you have to go speak to a construct near the snowy area which has lots of water, Vulgrim location etc. (forgot whats it called).

 

[SaadChohan]

Great so far! The RPG mix is a welcome addition.
One thing is for sure! I am gona plat this one

Whats wrong with world map key on xbox360 controller? Help says"Press A for toggle world map". But it toggles by pressing left stick.

 

[SHKHAN]

how many levels are in this game and are all of them equally long????

 

[Radical]

MAX LEVEL Abuses will lead to banES!!!

It's max 'cause it's not calculating anymore XP!! Though Vulgrim sold me a Talisman which unlocks @ lvl 40! :|

Maybe it has something to do with conquering The Crucible!!! Which I am gonna be doin' very soon. (sm1)
