Darksiders II Guide › Walkthrough › The Kingdom of the Dead

The Maw: West Valley

This barren wasteland lies west of the Breach, and is home to more roaming dead.

Northwest Ruin

Before proceeding south toward Serpent’s Peak, take a moment to explore Mistmount’s northwest ruin. Drop down two ledges to reach the ruin’s entrance, and then slay a number of Skeletal Warriors lurking within the ruin. Smash the clutter in the nearby alcove to discover a Boatman Coin. You can’t reach the ruin’s chest without the aid of a future ability, so take your leave of this place.

Boatman Coin 48
Stone of Power 6

Ride south, toward Serpent’s Peak. As you near a tall arch, check behind the warped tree to the south to discover another Boatman Coin.

Boatman Coin 49

Scale the sand-covered stairs beyond the arch, cutting through Skeletons as you go. Before venturing up the west stairs that lead to Serpent’s Peak, take a moment to explore another ruin to the south.

South Ruin

Crack open the chest on the ruin’s balcony, and then push the switch to cause two sections of the nearby wall to rotate, revealing a hoop and peg. The wall sections will quickly flip back around, so make haste in scaling the wall.

Collect the Relic you discover atop the wall. This one’s an extremely rare Relic of Khagoth—Ostegoth will pay handsomely for this prize. Take your leave of the ruin afterward, and scale the west stairs to reach Serpent’s Peak.
