Use the ledge during the fire breath. After that the other attacks are very easy to dodge.
It just feels completely out of place to me. It's all combat, no puzzles, no real traversal. It's nothing like the rest of the game. That's the experience I come to Darksiders for, not for
a shitty corridor shooting segment.

Been playing a few hours. Did the first story dungeon. I'm loving it, but maybe its my screen. I am starting to notice the tearing. Blah. I did switch to 1080i, and it seems to help a tad. I'd kill for a vsync patch. 
It doesn't do it in dungeons, or in not much going on areas, but baneswood was pretty bad.

The problem with this kind of leveling system is that if you wait until the end of the game to go back and do sidequests, they wind up way easier than they should be.
Like here's this optional boss. Clearly I'm supposed to use this strategy to avoid his attacks. But now those attacks barely damage me and my attacks absolutely wreck him, so instead of using any sort of strategy, I'm just gonna get in his face and mash buttons.

That's why you should go as much sidequest as you can before going to the next world.

Talking to npc's is important :lol
You missed a GAME LONG sidequest. There is an npc just past the gate you open that leads to the water dungeon. That gives you a quest to collect stone bites. These you feed to him in various combos for stat boost.

Yup carries over. It's perma
M+M+M = Arcane +5
M+M+P = Arcane Critical Chance +2%
M+M+R = Arcane Critical Damage +10%
P+P+P = Strength +5
P+P+M = Critical Chance +2%
P+P+R = Critical Damage +10%
R+R+R = Resistance +20
R+R+M = Wrath +20
R+R+P = Defense +20
M+R+P = Health +30
Nevermind, then.

Why is it that if something is not as good, for some reason, we take that as being "it's a bad game"? I never mentioned it was a bad game. Throughout this thread, I've said I'm enjoying the game. There's been a good number of people that feel the same as me too. Darksiders II is not exactly like it's original self. The original had a much more interesting atmosphere for the most part and the dungeons were way better designed in my opinion. While Darksiders I had dungeons like Zelda, Darksiders II felt more like something in Prince of Persia. It's not a bad thing, just an unexpected thing.

Look above :lol I posted it like 4 times now x.x/
The game needed to stop doing things in sets of 3. Make it once, make the dungeon 3 times longer. Doing the same thing 3 times with the same reward puts you in a mental state of repetitiveness. Doing a long series of events for a single goal does not.

That's not even the best part of the weapon, its the chance to freeze enemies in place that is the life saver. Its such a good feeling when you freeze bosses as the spawn and you get a good 3-4 seconds to wail on them
Here's my baby

I went back and did the optional bosses I missed the first time around after the second world. You can literally just stand to the side of Bhetheir and mash the Y button with those Spider-Claws you get and you'll kill him in under a minute without breaking a sweat.
A lot of the sidequests have a sell-by date for them to actually be of any challenge. You either do them around the time they come up or laugh at how pathetic and trite they seem after you leveled up. Or you do a lot of elaborate running around for a chest that may not even having anything good in it. It's like doing a Zelda puzzle and you see a chest and omg what's inside after all that running around omggggg...oh, more ruppees. yaaaaaay

If there isn't a cap then yeah of course it is lol
You honestly really only need like 30 or 35 at most though. Boosting your crit damage is way way better after that point

My goal is to get at least 250% arcane crit bonus damage :lol

Yes. That probably is a big issue I was having. "Find 3 x", "Unlock 3 x", "Kill 3 bosses". That probably drove me up a wall more than anything else in the game.
I do love the combat. I'm going through New Game + this week before classes on Wednesday night. Ugh, back to school...

Yep....that section......what were they thinking. I seriously would of rather had a cutscene that had Death showing up, getting what he needed, and then be out.
Side note. I got up to wave 65 on the crucible. I have Death around lvl 26. Going to wait till I max out his lvl till i try for wave 100. Also got some pretty awesome loot at wave 50 that fans of the games will appreciate.

FUCK YOU GAF STOP MAKING ME WANT TO POST AND HELP PEOPLE AND TALK ABOUT THE GAME.... *leaves to play*Man, I've been taking my sweet time exploring and I never found this guy either.

Does Dusk do anything but fly around? I thought he was suppose to find items, but I can't seem to figure it out.
My friend just told me on the heart of the mountain quest, the construct outside of the dungeon for the third maker spirit stone thing never spawned.
So he has to restart his whole fucking game because the game autosaves over a single save.
In this day and age, how did they not make it so that there's multiple save slots?
I'm paranoid now. I think if I had to start over from scratch now I would put off playing this game for MONTHS.
I almost feel sick for him, that's like ~8 hours down the drain.

Yeah but the weapon/item you get then won't be as good compared to if you had beaten him underleveled that weapon would've been amazing for you.
Don't think he does, he just points you to the way you are supposed to go.
ROFL... wow... You talk to a construct looking NPC and he is able to combine various stones for you but first you get some fancy gem that allows you to shoot those stones to collect them. You can then combined them for permanent stat boosts.
This is basically what I am aiming for near end game only instead of Wrath on Crit I want Strength in that slot. My Wrath generator will be on the secondary instead of the life steal. Strength on both.

No I used a video camera to record my monitor.
Blackroot. He is on the left side of the map near the crucible area. He's right in the area that you spawn in when you fast travel there. I can't think of the name of the area though.
