So I've spent the last few hours trying to find everything I could, but I'm kind of at an impass. Has anybody stumbled across an item that shows all the items in the map? I know there was something that did that in darksiders 1. I also can't figure out how the hell you attack the few enemies you come across in the game that seem to be in the shadow realm. I'm assuming it's the shadow realm anyways since they look like the shadow realm stuff from the first game.

So I just started this game and I'm wondering a couple of things:
1. How do I get my Darksiders I items?
2. Is the Deadly Despair DLC in effect from the beginning of the game? Or do I need to do something? How do I know it's working? The horse feels really slow to me.

Is it worth buying the Legacy Box from Vulgrim? I did it once before, and I was out 50K and 20 soul seals all for a weapon that was not that great in the end. And if he gives me a heavy weapon, that's useless to me because I'm pretty much a gauntlet exclusive.
Should I just take my chances in the Arena or what.

Actually, I found this. You can try as much as you like

Does anyone know where the armor/weapon that you get for having a save file? I'm not seeing them anywhere.

Well, that's that.
Stuck in the foundry, cannot progress. One of the constructs I was riding is stuck on the environment and I cannot get him unlodged, and I need him to progress past a door.
Anyone know of a way to unlodge a stuck a construct or am I screwed?

Glad I could help! A game with art this good really deserves to run at a silky smooth 60fps.

That happened to me too, I had to quit and restart the game. If yours saved after it got stuck and it doesn't reset to a default location I don't know, you might be SOL.
Keep playing, you can't miss it.
Yeah, noticed the same thing when I fought him last night. The hitbox extends a good few feet to the side of where the mace hits. Luckily the wind up on it is so massive, you just have to remember to double dodge to the side.
Plays fine especially if you were used to DS1. I would just move dodge to a more accessible button (I have it on Space Bar and Jump on F, Toggle Lock on Alt) and use the Toggle Lock on button for locking on combat.

with the first darksiders ( with catalyst 12.7 and 6970 crossfire) I resolved the stuttering in this way.
Close d3doverrider (bad stuttering whit this game) disable v-sync via ccc, open Msi afterburner.
art 1: adding Darksiders II to the list
- Start menu > MSI > On-Screen Display Server.
- A little icon with "60" on it will appear in your tray, click it.
- Click the plus sign at the bottom left.
- Browse to your game directory and select "Darksider II.exe".
Part 2: setting maximum FPS
- Select "Darksiders II" from the list.
- Now click the wrench icon at the top right.
- Framerate limit: "60" or your preferred Refresh Rate (check your monitor specs).
Then you have to enable the v-sync in the game to avoid tearing.
I think that with this sequel (with the same engine) will works in the same way

and it's probably been the weakest part of the game so far, but only due to the

I really hope they drop this idea in the future.
That being said, holy shit this game is soo damn good. I'm absolutely loving the length and content. I really hope all the talk about a reduced size for the next installment doesn't come to fruition. The whole thing is just so vast and epic!
I would imagined they cleaned as much of it up as they could. You know at the end of the day, the developer doesn't always get the time they want to completely iron out everything. I'm sure this was a case of THQ letting the release date go as long as they could regardless of whether or not Vigil wanted to continue cleaning up the final code.

I stopped using the gun altogether because it's so clunky in combat. The reloading is also lame as without an extra mechanic attached to the reload it just puts you off from using it even more. It might've been cool if they added like an active reload mechanic or some cool options to the gun. Also the targetting is buggy as hell, not only is the reticule extremely inaccurate at short distance but once you put off the targetting Death is still assuming the gun position but he's aiming at the air... I have to use a different move option so he would stop doing this, looks awkward as hell.
The entire lock on, camera and long ranged combat needs to be overhauled for the 3rd installment featuring Strife. Since you don't really need many of those options in combat you can easily get by most of DS2 without them but Strife should be all about these options.

After reading the article I am glad I have a bit to play through in Darksiders before going to DSII.

Man, life on hit makes the Crucible look like shit. Blew through those 25 waves, I don't think I ever got below half health.
I may have just completely fucked myself. I changed to windowed mode and restarted the game. Not I'm getting a critical error that says the Graphics Subsystem cant initialize because 1920x1080 isnt supported for fullscreen? WTF?
Gonna rage super beast mode if I can't get this back up and running.

Are you on Normal or Apoc? I'm debating whether to try it now on Apoc or wait until NG+ on Normal.

Strength is a modifier for the damage of all abilities in the Harbinger tree.
The Achidna fist you get at one point in the game are absurdly good for that reason. They have both life on hit and wrath on hit. I have secondary weapons that do 500+ more DPS and still use those because of how good they are.
Oh the last skill in the Harbinger tree is terrible. It stops you from doing any attack and you still take damage while its active. In contrast the Necromancer tree ultimate allows you to continue doing damage and it can juggle all the lighter enemies.

Funny thing is that its been running great, but I was toying around with it for a sec and now I cant even load it.
I tried renaming my settings files too. Didnt do anything.*Got it fixed, had to go to the exe then properties and check the box that disables display scaling. That let me get back in game to change it back to full screen. Shew, thought I was a goner!

Early Kingdom of the Dead. He seems to have just reached the Eternal Throne.
Life on hit/life steal is the way to go for sure. I had a life on hit weapon earlier but changed it for a higher damaging one, now I miss it sorely for those clutch situations. Because Death attacks really fast you can build up a lot of life really quickly. Wrath on hit is great too.
I can't wait to tackle the Crucible, my mouth salivates at the prospect of tackling 100 waves of enemies with a decked out Death.

I have an angel of death pack, crucible download and argues tomb for trade on the 360 if anybody wants to trade some other preorder stuff on the 360.
By the way, from the way the game plays out in the early levels... the Makers armor is the best but the scythe from the Angel set is the best. Doesn't really matter because they are all LVL5 stuff and they get outclassed rather quickly but you are going to beast through the content in the Forgelands once you reach LVL5 even on Apoc.
Feedback please?

Yeah, this shit is just crazy good. Death attacks SO fast with the claws, that even losing 1,000 health from some powerful blows you can get it back in a second or too, plus a shitload of Wrath to help out. I'm not that far into the game(only done with two of the worlds), but I can't see myself switching from these things any time soon.
