I think the problem was the fact that doing the sidequest when they present them over levels you x.x

:lol
Here I was feeling bad that I played 40 hours....lol.
Sidenote. Finally beat The Crucible! Holy shit those last 5 waves were amazing. The only thing that disappointing me though.....was that I was totally looking forward to getting the next abysmal armor piece. After getting the shoulders after completing the crucible i checked them out......FUCKIN HORNS ON DEATH'S HEAD!? REALLY!? Everything else looks so good, but those stupid horns. Ahhh, Vigil.....WHY!!!!!?????
This right here. I knew that going into DS2 the story would be parallel to DS but after experiencing it feels exactly like...a side companion to Ds1s story without really moving anything forward.
I don't think I can take another game that takes place in the same time zone. Vigil has to mix it up for the next one.
There is one in the Shattered Forge that you have to break a bunch of vases to get. Its one of the easiest ones to miss. The other easy one to miss is the one near the area where you first get the Death Grip.

Did you get the one in the water place, in the tube behind a rock. From the second stream you open.

I have a stupid question. How the hell do I summon ghouls? I put a talent point in there and the action is not bound to anything. I did a Google search but the signal to noise ratio is crazy.
I couldn't figure out how to feed weapons to my possesed weapons either.
I really wish this game had a real manual.

i am getting so irritated at the wall traversal. there is a slight lag between pushing my left stick in a direction (or letting go of the stick) and when death acknowledges that change. ie: i run along a ledge and when i get to the end and want to jump up to the next, if i don't wait a second or so between letting go of the left stick and hitting jump, he will jump over to the side in the direction i had been moving before. it drives me insane. i've died so many times.
i also hate how when you're on the top ledge, you have to push up to get up (which also has a slight delay like above) instead of hitting X. i hit X and he jumps and goes back to the ledge, then i need to wait a few seconds before pushing up on my stick or else he won't acknowledge it at all. WTF.
also: i don't know what anyone else is talking about but im level 14 and still can't beat any of the forge lands mini-bosses. tree guy still shrugs off all my damage and takes 80% of my health with the roots attack. i've got crazy expensive/powerful gear too. playing on normal.

That's the one I missed.

I have to admit, summoning ghouls and having a giant swing at them and die from killing them will never stop being hilarious to me
Have to admit my go to ability is the zombies. I have them maxed out in DPS/HP/Fire/Explosions, and the return wrath to me on crit. With all the arcane and + arcane crit gear I have on me its awesome crazytown.

I was missing the one from the beginning of the water forge. run along the wall behind the main statue in the big main room.
Diablo 3 is a game based solely on loot whereas Darksiders 2 offers a shit ton of more. Comparing the 2 is just stupid. And I wouldn't even complement Diablos loot system. Legendaries are shit (maybe they buffed them dunno) and the auction system completely breaks the balance.

Really? I beat him at level 7, and I was doing decent damage to him. Still took about 5 minutes to bring him down.
Game is not "hard" even on apoc. But I guess your definition can vary on what constitutes a hard game.
I'm just going to have to turn away from some of these crazy optimistic posts. There's a lot of praise for the features such as side-quests, the crucible, and loot. However, the design of the game itself just isn't great. It's like praising how a cake looks. Nice designs on top, delicious icing, yet inside is a burnt mound of dry grub. If I had to phrase it, the majority of the gameplay feels like competent controls taken from other games with a bunch of maps that could have come from a mod community.
Sub-average game but gets bumped up notches for the combat.

Legendaries have preset levels
He dropped a level 10 weapon for me and I beat him at 4, so I just assumed he was a level 10 guy. He sure as shit hit me like a level 10 guy, 2 hits and I was done so he was a solid challenge for my low level Death.

Did you try taking off the legendary blade arms? Maybe they are stopping pot use?

Ah found it
I tried that yesterday. Doesn't work. I thought that was what was causing the bug but nope.
Edit: Ok I got it to work by removing my Black Demise too.
CONFIRMED BUG: Equipping Black Demise prevents you from gaining Wrath with Wrath potions. I am going to upload a video.
The Soul Arbiter's maze was a bit grating to run through just because of the samey environments, but they did toss out the occasional fun mix of enemies. The Soul Arbiter himself was a bit of a disappointment; after going through all of that stuff to get to him, the best he can do is toss out a shield guy?
Oh well, at least the quest's conclusion was amusing. The banter between Death and the Chancellor may never get old.

I bet Darksiders III is a sidequel with Strife or Fury. Bleh, they just need to pick up where DS1 left off. Include every Horseman and go from there.

They can make it DMC-esque with the guns. Keep it hack and slash primarily.
But Strife doesn't use any blades.
Guys I'm going back and doing all the sticks and stones stuff that I missed. I have a question about this area in the Breach (Land of the Dead).
This is the area you go to before you exit the Breach by using the bomb to blow up the crystals. However, when I reach the top there's this lamp statue surrounded by spikes. How do I remove said spikes so that I can go to the other side and collect this stone?
EDIT: GOT IT

And Death doesn't use any guns...
To be fair, he never does outside of locating Stonebites!

According to the Darksiders Wikia, Strife may have a weapon that he uses for close combat. He looks cool, btw:

I just want to see his transformed state. It's probably some mecha type shit hahaha
How many hours did that take?
That's three hours of your life that you're never getting back.
Black Demise + Wrath potion Bug
Only wasted like 10 Wrath potions figuring it out.
I already discussed the strategy many pages ago. Easiest way to kill him when you are severely under leveled.

Took like 20-30 minutes.

Did it before you, in 5 minutes.

Just finished it.
Huge disappointment overall. I'm not going to go back and find the rest of the collectibles and I'm not even thinking about a NG+. The ending felt incredibly rushed, it feels like the last world took less than an hour overall.
The game pretty much doesn't have a story, or an ending for that matter. The goal was to revive humanity, so you have to collect 100 unrelated things for 10 people who have nothing to do with that. And in the end, do you even succeed? Who knows, who cares!
Even the last boss was just some dude who went down in a few hits. Everything is so MEH in this game. So much wasted potential.

I agree with everything in this post. Well, except that I'm actually going to bother to Platinum this even though I'm not really enjoying it, lol
Ending Spoiler:
They DO say that humanity is restored. PROBLEM is Earth is HALF-DESTROYED, LIFELESS, AND FULL OF DEMONS!
Yeah, I don't see how humanity will stay restored for very long. The reason we were wiped out in the first place is that we weren't prepared for the war, despite being basically at the peak of our existence with nukes and stuff. How can humanity possibly defend themselves from what is basically an infantile state.
