Darksiders II |OT| What starts with War, ends with Death.
- Thread starter BY2K
- Start date
Hey Tragic, why was the R1 functionality removed from certain traversal modes. In Darksiders 1 it let you climb walls quicker, shimmy ledges quicker, etc. If Death is supposed to be more agile that War, it kind of feels like a step backwards.
Also, is anyone able to sacrifice items that aren't in the first three rows of the Possessed Upgrade UI? Anytime I highlight an item that isn't in the first three rows and hit "A" it does nothing. It means I have to sacrifice scythes and secondaries more often which leads to an over abundance of armor and talismans.
Also, what does the
DemonHeart
Increasing quality of items looted?

Hey tragic, do the stat growth stones stack each playthrough? :lol
If you think about it, death does move faster at a standard speed. It makes sense for war because he's using his brute strength to lunge himself forward kinda like the hulk
Argul's Tomb is not out yet...I got the e-mail saying they will send the code when it's ready...or was that for the SeasonPass...never saw so many codes and the like needed before starting a game...
EDIT: nm,that was the season Pass Crucible thing that we have to wait for,Argul's worked fine for when I entered it...not sure in game though lol...

I agree it still feels faster in general, but when climbing walls etc. it just feels like I should be moving differently that I am. I'm glad R1 still boosts your swim speed at least
Anyone else having that issue with not being able to sacrifice items that aren't in the first three rows of the UI when upgrading possessed weapons?

So is the PS3 version stable? I have the original on PS3 and would like to maintain platform parity of the series, plus have access to the unlocks.

8.3MB patch on steam?
-checks for config file-
Nope, they just removed the Config folder instead. Not sure what the other changes are.

It's funny cause Death covers as much ground (on walls) as War did except he doesn't need to dash. I guess its psychological... people would think he was moving faster if we slowed him down and gave him the wall dash.
Posted this earlier. It turns any common weapon that would have dropped into a Possessed weapon drop.
Yes, indeed! This is one of the reasons there isn't NG+++++.

Yep.
Aside from a mid-loading of 3-4 seconds in big areas and very minor tearing, it's very much stable. Hasn't froze on me yet, either.
At least it came in a sweet 3D lenticular slip cover and a shiny art work insert.

Don't enter it in the Xbox. You have to enter it in on the THQ site like the little card says.
d'oh lol thanks

HEy can anyone answer this for me...
The serpent tomes that give you gifts from in-game characters or from XBL friends, is there a reason why I can not access the XBL inbox? Every time I try to access it, it tells me that because of Family settings I can not access it. I save my game, head over to system settings and check family settings, and they are all OFF.
Any ideas??

I think I'm going to switch to Apocalyptic difficulty. I keep finding this equipment with bonuses when you execute someone, but I think I've only managed to do a finishing move once, and it was by accident. Everything dies so quickly, I catch a quick flash of the execute prompt, and then it's too late.
I started on Apocalyptic and all I can say is it feels really balanced in terms of difficulty. If your not ever in danger of dying in normal, I would definitely switch over.

It seems I'm not alone - http://community.darksiders.com/go/thread/view/138731/29319391/The_main_quest_disappeared
Now that I think about it, I believe the game CTD just as I finished talking to
ostergoth
If anyone could help, any save near the end of world 1 or beginning of world 2 is appreciated (apocalyptic difficulty), if not I have an old savegame I'm going to use.
I have a question.
I bought this Talisman from Vulgrim for a decent amount of gils and some coins. It said its some legacy Talisman so I bought it thinking it might be good. Well it has NO stats on it and I can't equip it until I reach LVL40. Did I just waste my money or is it good for something?
Agreed about the camera being too zoomed in during lock on mode.

Funny, I did not get a slip cover. :-( Would probably leave it out anyway, so whatever.

I think that was a Best Buy only thing. I wonder if I will have one. I bought mine from Walmart.com.

After much trial and error, I have found a way to completely remove all the stuttering and vsync issues with the game.
(560ti, windows 7 64 bit, 305.53 Nvidia Drivers, D3D Overider)
So from experimenting here's what I found.
V-sync from game ( does not work )
V-sync from control panel ( massive stuttering)
V-sync from D3D ( less stuttering )
V-sync from D3D and Control Panel ( about the same )
V-sync from D3D in windowed mode = Perfect.
Here's the magic combination.
Set Vsync In the in Nvidia control panel to "Use 3D applications setting"
Set Triple Buffering to "on"
(you can freely set anistropic filtering to what ever value you want, and FX Antialiasing works just fine)
In D3D overider Set Vsync to "on" and Triple Buffering to "Off"
Now in the game make sure V-sync is not checked, and run the game in a window.
You should now have the game running in a window perfectly v-synced with zero stutter.
At this point, I used This Program to make the window go into border-less full screen mode.
The border-less window program did require an self update to work on the game, but its a simple procedure.
So there you have it.. a few hoops to jump through, but you will get a super smooth v-sync with zero stutter. ( this same principle applied to AOE online, running that game with forced v-sync in a border-less window removed similar stutter)
Also, when running in border-less window mode the in game gamma is ineffective. The game will just use whatever you native desktop gamma settings are. You can remedy this by using nvidia's built in Gamma and contrast correction from within the control panel. I had to do this, as the game was a bit too dark.
Hope this helps anyone with stutter issues. As always with the vast array of different hardware and drivers out there, your mileage may vary.
If you need help just ask.
Edit: helping just one person to enjoy the game was worth the post

maybe you can feed it to a possessed weapon? Is there a level restriction on that?
If I'm not mistaken, that's behind the bottom-most door of the Tomb of the Deposed King.

All you are basically talking about is the story. Instead of them saying you need to recover three objects to meet this guy there could have been no NPCs and simply a door needing three keys. There is no difference at all, its just a story crutch. Now if your issue with the story then fine but as a game mechanic it is what all action/adventure games do.
Oh and I definitely recommend D3DOverrider for this game.
I ran into something peculiar yesterday. There was this section where you had to wall run and use
to go across some lava right before you had to get the first Heart Stone down to power up the giant construct. There was a chest right there in that section hidden on top of the spot where you had to use the
. Now I was easily able to get to that spot... but I couldn't get back to another spot to continue my quest. I tried wall running, tried jumping and using the grip but all my methods ended me in the lava. I eventually fell so much that I died and reloaded the checkpoint... this time I didn't bother going for the chest (there wasn't anything really valuable in it). I don't know what I was supposed to do here.

LOL, tomorrow is your day, man... tomorrow. Getting ready to go pop it in and check it out here in a few.
Well played Vigil.
I'm streaming Darksiders 2 if anyone wants to watch. I'm not super far into the game so it might not spoiler for yall.

D3doverrider is mandatory for any game I play, its always on.
There is a issue though even if you have it on it will not work, just restarting the ap fixes it, annoying but just a heads up for people who might not be able to get it to work.

Crucible attempts:
So far I've reached wave 15. Cleared it but didn't have the courage to carry on. Got 2 elite (purple) weapons 1 level below mine (they were 15, I was 16), one of which is a very sick axe that encases enemies in ice blocks sometimes.
Right now trying a max damage build. Its working okay, but I prefer a more teleport slash built playstyle

Yes
You can dash in the water BTW.
he is
in the mini-temple on your way to the forest area on the right side of the map. There is a hallway in this mini temple where you have to wall-run all the way to a chest with a bunch of water below. This hallway is quite skinny. Dive under the water to a cave.
edit: sorry for the double post. Didn't even think about it.

Check the description of the Talisman, it may have no stats but it could have a bonus ability.
