Darksiders II Guide › Walkthrough › The Key to Redemption

Lostlight

Though it was not his original intent, the Horseman has purged the Forge Lands of Corruption and passed through the Kingdom of the Dead unscathed. Now, the Rider must journey to the realm of angels in search of a special key—one of two keys needed to gain entry to the Well of Souls.

Lostlight

This tranquil realm is home to angels, but it has known turmoil in recent times.

To the Crystal Spire

Chat with the Crowfather as you exit the Tree of Life, and then ride north toward a distant tower known as the Crystal Spire. Along the way, explore a side passage to your right where you can raid a chest and visit with the demonic merchant, Vulgrim. Search behind the brush near Vulgrim to discover a lost Relic.

Relic of Etu-Goth 11

Return to the main trail and notice the colorful door of a Death Tomb farther north. You don’t have enough Book of the Dead pages to open this door, but don’t let that stop you from shooting the Stonebite above it. Snag the Boatman Coin that’s tucked away behind the brush to the left, as well.

Stone of Mystics 25
Boatman Coin 72

You soon reach a long stone bridge that leads to the Crystal Spire. Collect a Book of the Dead page from the nearby ruin to your right (south) before venturing across.

Book of the Dead 26

Fallen Angels

A host of Corrupted Angels ambushes Death after he crosses the stone bridge. Beware of their vicious melee blows and ranged attacks as you fight to cut them all down. Call upon abilities and use potions as you see fit—you’ll soon be able to replenish your supply.

Enemy: Corrupted Angel

  • Class: Soldier

These once holy souls have fallen victim to Corruption and now seek to destroy anything that threatens the insidious substance’s spread. Corrupted Angels move with swift grace and strike with great fury, and they’re also able to fire from afar. This makes them particularly dangerous in groups. Stay mobile to avoid being surrounded, and focus on slaying each Angel in turn.

Angelic Aid

More Corrupted Angels appear after the first few fall, but Death is also aided by the timely appearance of a powerful Hellguard named Nathaniel. Corruption has not touched this noble warrior. Fight hard at Nathaniel’s side and slay the Corrupted host.

Speak with Nathaniel after the battle to learn more about the plague of Corruption that has befallen Lostlight. The honored Hellguard also wishes to aid Death in his quest by offering him a small selection of fine wares. Nathaniel also bestows you with a side quest that involves bringing a special scroll back to the Kingdom of the Dead.

Side Quest Acquired: “The Lost Soul”

Scouring the Grounds

Begin exploring the Crystal Spire's grounds after speaking with Nathaniel. Collect the Boatman Coin that hovers close by.

Boatman Coin 73

Circle around the tower afterward, heading southeast. Shoot the Stonebite affixed to a statue's sword.

Stone of Mystics 26

Continue circling around the tower and raid the far chest. Beware: a number of Vengeful Spirits materialize after you rip the chest open.

Enemy: Vengeful Spirit

  • Class: Fodder

These small, spiteful spirits hover around the Horseman before striking with surprising speed. Keep your distance and make short work of these lowly foes with Redemption.

Continue past the chest and search the far east nook to discover a lost Relic.

Relic of Renagoth 6

Backtrack toward Nathaniel and explore to the north. Shoot another Stonebite attached to a statue's sword.

Stone of Mystics 27
