Darksiders II starts at nearly the same time as the onset of the first Darksiders. After War is convicted and sent back to Earth by the Charred Council, they inform the three other Horsemen of his fate. The eldest, Death, knowing that his brother War is the most honorable and incorruptible of the four, and would never have started the Apocalypse early, flies into a rage. Believing his brother is victim of a conspiracy, Death defies the Council's orders and sets out on a personal mission to find proof of his brother's innocence.Death travels to The Abyss, a place between Earth, Heaven, and Hell, to call in favors from a powerful being that rules the realm. Undeterred by the knowledge that the truth of War's innocence will not sway the Council, Death instead chooses to erase the crime he is accused of by returning mankind from extinction, and finds himself transported to another realm with the goal of seeking the "Tree of Life." But all is not well, for even as the End War rages on, a sickly Corruption threatens to consume the realms and all of Creation itself, a Corruption rooted in the sins and regrets of the eldest Horsemen's past...Unlike the first game, Darksiders II places heavy emphasis on RPG Elements. Death can equip himself with various types of armor and weapon sets, alongside a branching skill tree system to suit each player's style. A loot system has also been added, in which Death can acquire items from fallen enemies to craft new consumables or equipment. The currency system has also been changed: instead of souls, Death will make use of actual in-game currency.Darksiders II is even larger and more of a Wide-Open Sandbox than its predecessor. The game takes Death across multiple dungeons and city hubs, the latter featuring NPCs who can give out side quests or allow Death to increase his skills.With the dissolution of THQ and Vigil Games, the franchise faced a moment of uncertainty shortly after the release of this game. Most of the staff originally involved is now working for Crytek, which placed a bid for the Darksiders IP in the auction of THQ's back catalogue in April, 2013. However, the IP was ultimately obtained by Nordic Games. Nordic remained in touch with the original developers to continue the series, and later released an Updated Re-release called Darksider II: Deathinitive Edition for the Play Station 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC through Steam and GOG.com. This rerelease features updated visuals and gameplay rebalances, alongside bundling all of the DLC into the package.The game was made free for anyone on the Xbox 360 with an Xbox Live Gold Account during October 2014 as part of the "Games with Gold" program.Now has a character sheet.In May 2017, Darksiders III was announced for a 2018 release. The game released on November 27, 2018. | |

Unexpected Gameplay Change | |
| Darksiders II (Video Game) / int_1467a30c | comment |
Unexpected Gameplay Change: In a game that constantly alternates between dynamic melee combat and platforming puzzles, the entire Earth section gives you hordes of enemies to feed to your choice of angelic energy minigun or demonic explosive railgun, with not a single wall to climb or jump over in sight. Nothing's stopping you from putting the weapon down and carving your way through most of the enemies using your standard weaponry, but the firearms are so powerful and so cathartically fun there's no real reason to either. | |

All There in the Manual | |
| Darksiders II (Video Game) / int_17ce80aa | comment |
A seemingly minor one, but in the cutscene before the fight with Samael, Death is clearly seen blocking Samael's blows. In the manual, it's explained that Death refuses to block because he's so arrogant, he believes no one can hit him.note It is worth noting that Samael did indeed beat Death up quite a bit before Death decided to start blocking, compounded by Samael's Teleport Spam which negated Death's dodging skills, making this an example of a probable Godzilla Threshold, especially since Death is not being backed by the breaking of all seven seals. | |

Playing with Fire | |
| Darksiders II (Video Game) / int_1cc9f5e5 | comment |
The Deposed King Argul, one of four bosses Thane requests you to kill in side-quests, is the first boss, story-line or otherwise, you'll encounter that will teach you that high defense isn't enough: resistance plays a major role in your ability to survive attacks. If you don't have high resistance, then even with high defense, he can kill you with his opening move in a single hit (incidentally, his other, normal attacks are much easier to survive, since they don't qualify as special and are much easier to dodge, but his opening move will annihilate a low resistance build with one hit if it connects). Earlier bosses used special attacks, but no boss you've encountered up to this point will have such a tremendous difference in damage between normal and special attacks, and you will continue to encounter bosses from this point on who have powerful specials that can wipe out an unprepared player. Make sure you always have at least one piece of gear that boosts resistance, or you'll regret it. Doesn't help by the fact that he's a level 20 in an area full of level 12 enemies and will probably end you with his opening blow simply due to the likely level difference between you two when you first encounter him if you're exploring. He's such a wake-up call, in fact, it's recommended to fight him last after the other three are dead (one of which drops a weapon very effective against him, and another that is the only one fought during the story itself and is the second-strongest of the four)! | |

Glass Cannon | |
| Darksiders II (Video Game) / int_2f253c94 | comment |
Glass Cannon: Death himself can trash everything in his path, but most enemies can rend him with a few hits. This also applies to most of the bosses. They can destroy Death easily, but Death can do the same to them. | |

| Darksiders II (Video Game) / int_31254f02 | comment |
Two-Keyed Lock: The usual video game trope of pressure pads and requiring doors to be held open while another does through, only done with spirits and fractions of Death's soul. A more literal example is the final door of the game. | |

Grim Up North | |
| Darksiders II (Video Game) / int_347e35d6 | comment |
Grim Up North: The game starts off this way; Death rides to some icy, falling-apart tower in the middle of a gorgeous frozen wasteland to meet with the Crowfather. The place is practically more held together by ice than it is by stones or wood; one of the elevators you use breaks as it ascends, most of the wooden beams are broken (making for great jumping puzzles!) and so on. The Crowfather doesn't really need working elevators himself, though, since he can just turn into a flock of crows to get around. | |

Degraded Boss | |
| Darksiders II (Video Game) / int_3babae20 | comment |
Degraded Boss: Gharn, the boss of The Cauldron, is a hard-hitting corrupted Construct and the most powerful one you've fought so far. Later on, it's recast as a recurring Mini-Boss referred to as "Construct Champion" with almost all the same moves and dangers aside from its explosion move, with Death even being able to fight two at once! And that's not even mentioning "Ghorn", a boss of an optional side quest who's effectively a beefed up red Gharn with lava, a few new unique moves, and more personality. Justified in that Gharn was never a unique Construct in the first place and just one of his type who had the luxury of a name to be told. | |

Foregone Conclusion | |
| Darksiders II (Video Game) / int_3bc88a7f | comment |
Foregone Conclusion: Anybody who played through the original game would know that Death's quest to clear War of his crime would fail because the Charred Council knew all along that the End War being triggered early wasn't War's doing, they set him up so they could send him loose on Earth knowing he'd kill the real culprits. | |

Noodle Incident | |

Noodle Incident: The Crowfather once aided Death in the past, which ultimately led to him to being imprisoned in his temple. When Death goes to him for his aid again, he mentions that helping him before led to his predicament. They did elaborate on said "incident" during the dialogue. In exchange for learning the secrets of the Nephilim souls contained within, the Crowfather "helped" Death by carrying the amulet for him. He was driven mad, by the souls, however. | |

"Could Have Avoided This!"

Death isn't very pleased with this, but the Lord of Bones still fulfills his end of the bargain to aid Death (even giving Death a new power-up). | |

Jerk with a Heart of Gold | |
| Darksiders II (Video Game) / int_4781adbb | comment |
Jerk with a Heart of Gold / Hidden Heart of Gold: After certain events unfold, there is an entirely optional questline where Death helps reassemble a fallen construct, then recovers an ancient book for the Makers that will help give them hope in these dark times. Death gains very little from this quest except for exp, gilt, an item, and gratitude, but the construct states that, after completing a quest that was unrelated to his own affairs and he was under no obligation to fill, Death is not nearly as rotten a person as he makes himself out to be. Death's reply is to request the construct not tell anyone. In addition, Death meets Karn just before he has to go through an entire dungeon to unlock the seal keeping the Fire of the Mountain away from the forges at Tristone. When he arrives to tell the questgiver how he's completed the task, he quietly adds that Karn helped out—even though the "pup" was still way out in the middle of nowhere, and didn't do much more than open the door to the Cauldron and give him some information. Not bad, considering how dismissive he is of everyone else, and the fact that he refused to use his name in person. | |

Clear Their Name: Death's primary goal is to prove his brother War is innocent of the crimes he's accused of in the first game. Knowing he likely can't find the true conspirators in the chaos of the war, he chooses instead to "erase" the crime War is falsely accused of by bringing mankind back from extinction. | |

Bragging Rights Reward | |
| Darksiders II (Video Game) / int_55e5b37c | comment |
Bragging Rights Reward: The weapon you get for completing all the waves of the Crucible in one sitting. It's not bad, per se, but odds are to clear the Crucible in the first place you've made a possessed weapon that is vastly superior to it. | |

Fragile Speedster | |
| Darksiders II (Video Game) / int_5979acea | comment |
Fragile Speedster: Death is more agile than War, and is capable of doing many acrobatic evasions. His fighting style is a lot faster. The downside is that he refuses to block unless your secondary weapon for him is a buckler shield (and even then, he can't quite do War's "Perfect Block" trick). Death's default weapons, his scythes, are also much faster than War's BFS. | |

Disc-One Nuke | |
| Darksiders II (Video Game) / int_5b81ca8d | comment |
Disc-One Nuke: More like disc two nuke but the level 15 weapon Achidna's Fangs are bugged in a way that causes its special effect* huge life steal with each critical hit to apply to ALL weapons that Death has equipped alongside it. This turns Earth and Marathon Levels such as The Crucible and The Soul Arbiter's Maze a lot easier. Unlike other powers which are tied to the legendary weapon itself (be it its demonic origin, evil spirit bound within or just the way it was crafted, the Fangs power comes from the fact that it are the actual fangs of a giant spider still producing poison, makes sense that Death would apply it to his Scythes too. In the Deathinitive Edition, the Skeletal Axe of Rending becomes this. Its obtainable after defeating the Construct Hulk (the third main boss of the Forge Lands) and gimmick is that it in exchange for less raw power than a typical heavy weapon for its level, it has the special ability Rending for every successful hit on a foe, meaning Death can quickly get his health back if used on a group of enemies and is even useful in a one-on-one with a mini-boss or boss as long as he keeps connecting hits with it. However, in the Deathinitive Edition, the Skeletal Axe also becomes one of the few weapons that scales in level alongside Death, meaning it will always remain a decently powerful and useful secondary weapon. | |

Gameplay and Story Segregation: In the novel, Death is said to have a healing factor and is able to recover from even the most fatal of wounds (which explains how he was able to withstand being stabbed in the chest by War in the first game's promotional comic). In this game... well, not so much. | |

Heroic Sacrifice | |
| Darksiders II (Video Game) / int_6439de78 | comment |
Heroic Sacrifice: Very nearly for Death at the ending. The Crowfather tells him that for humanity to be revived, he must make a sacrifice. So, removing his mask, he fell into the Well of Souls to sacrifice the souls of the Nephilim that the Crowfather himself had locked within his body... just when War broke the seventh seal, summoning the Horsemen. | |

Brought Down to Normal | |
| Darksiders II (Video Game) / int_66ea7e5c | comment |
Brought Down to Normal: Well, normal for a nephilim. Death only has full access to his horseman powers when he is acting in his role of preserving the balance. Were he acting in this capacity, he'd be able to easily triumph over any foe (consider it like being in his Reaper form non-stop like War was in Darksiders opening), and could run roughshod over anyone that he needed something from, just taking what he needed, and forcing others to give him the information he needed. Unfortunately, as the Lord of the Dead puts it, since he's not acting in preservation of the balance, he only has his own innate abilities to rely on, putting him beneath many of the powerful beings he has to aid in order to proceed. And since he's been relying on his horseman powers for so long, it's no wonder he's weak in comparison to many of the later enemies he fights: he's out of shape and rusty from having not used those innate skills in so long. | |

Big Brother Instinct | |
| Darksiders II (Video Game) / int_69681e01 | comment |
Big Brother Instinct: Death is willing to defy the Charred Council to prove War innocent of starting the premature apocalypse. When given the choice to revive either the Nephilim or Mankind, he chooses the latter. He takes this trope to heart. Justified: It's revealed in the book that Death once tricked War into dying as a distraction, and, filled with guilt, swore to repay War's sacrifice. | |

Played straight by Jamaerah, the scribe of the Ivory Citadel, whom Death successfully beats to his senses; this isolated case is probably justified in that powerful holy light can destroy solid Corruption, and the final blow to Jamaerah - an angel - is dealt by his own holy laser. | |

Take a Third Option | |
| Darksiders II (Video Game) / int_950bbfa7 | comment |
Take a Third Option: Rather than accepting the guilty verdict given to War, or trying to prove his brother's innocence, Death chooses to undo the crime that War is being blamed for by reviving humanity. Death's primary reason for this is he knows there's little to no chance that he could find the guilty parties for the destruction of mankind, especially while there is a war going on between Heaven and Hell. | |

Evil Chancellor | |
| Darksiders II (Video Game) / int_a3c0d670 | comment |
Evil Chancellor: The Chancellor is a scheming, underhanded jerk, who, upon meeting him, sends you on a quest that he believes will cause Death to be killed so he can prevent Death from meeting the Bone Lord. In response, Death relentlessly snarks him, especially after returning from the Impossible Task in the Gilded Arena and later, when Death returns with the requested item from the Soul Arbiter sidequest, Death basically shows it to him and essentially says "Screw you, I'm keeping it for myself, unless you want to try and take it from me." | |

Revenue-Enhancing Devices: This is one of those games that goes absolutely crazy with extra bonuses acquired elsewhere. Pre-Order Bonus: First, every preorder will get the first Downloadable Content expansion for free. At least five retailers have their own exclusive in-game content (mostly weapons and armor sets) for preordering with them. Limited Special Collector's Ultimate Edition: Also only available through pre-ordering. Old Save Bonus: Playing the original Darksiders will get you another armor piece, and beating it will get you a weapon. And weapon unlock codes in things like the strategy guide, the tie-in novel, the related iOS app... All averted in the Deathinitive Edition, which turns all said weapons and armor into items that can be acquired in-game from defeating certain bosses and completing certain objectives. Some of said items admittedly can only be obtained on a New Game Plus, however. | |

| Darksiders II (Video Game) / int_b23e7ba9 | comment |
Real Is Brown: Averted in most cases, such as the vibrant green Forgelands and the snow-covered wilderness the Crowfather dwells in, or the golden forest and white towers of Lostlight. Played straight in the Land of the Dead, but justified in that everything there is dead and the Earth level, since it takes place in a thoroughly destroyed city at night that's overcast with rain. The Deathinitive Edition release moved things a bit closer to this trope, as when Nordic remodeled the game for more advanced lighting, texturing and rendering techniques, they also washed out the color palette somewhat. | |

Anti-Hero | |
| Darksiders II (Video Game) / int_beb9a361 | comment |
Anti-Hero: Death is described as an arrogant, cold and calculating anti-hero who is resourceful and opportunistic — he doesn't wait for things to happen, rather, he causes them to happen. Death is the official leader of the Horsemen; as such he's very level headed and mature. Notably, Death's very harsh on the others, as he was not hesitant in cutting off War's left arm in order to teach him a lesson. Despite this, Death cares deeply for his brothers and sister, as any older sibling would. He took a blow for Fury, and the events of Darksiders II show that he was willing to stand up to The Charred Council to prove his brother's innocence alone, knowing War to be the most honorable of the Horsemen. As the Horseman of Death, he may also appear somewhat morbid and ominous toward those who speak to him. He also possesses a dark sense of humor. | |

Cutting the Knot | |
| Darksiders II (Video Game) / int_c2299d6e | comment |
Cutting the Knot: The Scribe is a Puzzle Boss in that it damages you if you get close to him. To defeat him, the player must use portals to make him damage himself when he fires a large ball of energy, so he will be knocked out and Death can attack him properly. However, the player can also entirely chip away at his health by shooting him with the gun while dodging his attacks. It will still demand the use of the portal to finish him, but you can do the entire fight up until that point with just shooting the gun at him. | |

Walking Shirtless Scene: Death starts off bare-chested (the better to show off the fragments of the Nephilim Amulet that got embedded in his right pectoral) and though you can get torso armor for him, a whole lot of it still shows off a lot of skin. It's often not much more than a single strap across his torso or a cape that covers the top of his chest. | |

World Tree | |
| Darksiders II (Video Game) / int_db126a0b | comment |
World Tree: The Tree of Life is stated many times to be a portal to other worlds, with roots in each of them. Indeed, this is Death's main means of traveling to the various realms in which the game takes place. | |

Reasonable Authority Figure | |
| Darksiders II (Video Game) / int_dca70c44 | comment |
Reasonable Authority Figure: The Judicator, unlike the other death lords, is not hiding from his responsibilities when you find him, he's actually out doing his job, even though he knows that he's going to be punished for it. Said job is tracking down lost souls so that they can be prepared for their transition to the city of the dead, by releasing all of the secrets that person held in life. Of all the characters that Death meets, this is the only one that is actually focused on performing his role in the grand scheme of things without any sort of agenda of his own. He gets killed by the Bone Lord when you bring all three before him. | |

P.O.V. Sequel | |
| Darksiders II (Video Game) / int_dd51740f | comment |
P.O.V. Sequel: A POV Interquel in this case, as the events of the game are taking place over roughly the same time period as the first Darksiders game, with both also ending at nearly exactly the same point, only II follows Death instead of War. | |

RPG Elements | |
| Darksiders II (Video Game) / int_ebe55efb | comment |
RPG Elements: Loot collecting, skill trees and stats are among a few of the new additions in Darksiders II. One change that stands out is being able to see damage numbers over everyone's heads so you can see which weapons do more damage. Another is that he needs to acquire and store potions to quickly refill his health and magic meters (War just had to hope there was Green Chest nearby). | |

Eyeball-Plucking Birds: Just before meeting Lilith in the Black Stone fortress, Death is ambushed by a demon and kills it with a swing of Harvester. Shortly after, Dust lands on the skull of the demon and plucks out one of its eyeballs, much to Death's annoyance ("Thanks for the warning!"). | |

Creepy Crows: Death has a crow named "Dust", who serves as his companion and guide, and a spell that summons attack crows. The Crowfather has many of these that serve as his familiars. | |

Wake-Up Call Boss | |
| Darksiders II (Video Game) / int_f4a0408f | comment |
Wake-Up Call Boss: The Deposed King Argul, one of four bosses Thane requests you to kill in side-quests, is the first boss, story-line or otherwise, you'll encounter that will teach you that high defense isn't enough: resistance plays a major role in your ability to survive attacks. If you don't have high resistance, then even with high defense, he can kill you with his opening move in a single hit (incidentally, his other, normal attacks are much easier to survive, since they don't qualify as special and are much easier to dodge, but his opening move will annihilate a low resistance build with one hit if it connects). Earlier bosses used special attacks, but no boss you've encountered up to this point will have such a tremendous difference in damage between normal and special attacks, and you will continue to encounter bosses from this point on who have powerful specials that can wipe out an unprepared player. Make sure you always have at least one piece of gear that boosts resistance, or you'll regret it. Doesn't help by the fact that he's a level 20 in an area full of level 12 enemies and will probably end you with his opening blow simply due to the likely level difference between you two when you first encounter him if you're exploring. He's such a wake-up call, in fact, it's recommended to fight him last after the other three are dead (one of which drops a weapon very effective against him, and another that is the only one fought during the story itself and is the second-strongest of the four)! Gorewood, another of the four bosses Thane requests you to fight, can be this as well if you're unlucky. It's possible to reach him when you're only around Level 5 if you take the time out to explore, while he's a Level 10. His health bar is much higher than anything you've fought at that point, and his attacks, while slow and fairly predictable, will eat through your health quickly if they connect, especially if you don't know how to dodge his root attack, which also restricts your movement if it connects and makes you vulnerable to a follow-up hit. In a different way Thane himself, the maker who acts as your first trainer. Firstly, he's the first chance you get for a fight you aren't really adequately leveled and equipped for. He's also the first opponent who can re-aim in the middle of an attack if you're moving, requiring you to do more than twitch-evade to survive. | |

Anthropomorphic Personification | |
| Darksiders II (Video Game) / int_f76b8969 | comment |
Anthropomorphic Personification: Subverted. Although in full power or Reaper Form he becomes at least physically similar to the anthropomorphic personification of Death, when not at full power he is just a regular Nephilim with the title Death. | |

Cutscene Power to the Max | |
| Darksiders II (Video Game) / int_fe262584 | comment |
Cutscene Power to the Max: A seemingly minor one, but in the cutscene before the fight with Samael, Death is clearly seen blocking Samael's blows. In the manual, it's explained that Death refuses to block because he's so arrogant, he believes no one can hit him.note It is worth noting that Samael did indeed beat Death up quite a bit before Death decided to start blocking, compounded by Samael's Teleport Spam which negated Death's dodging skills, making this an example of a probable Godzilla Threshold, especially since Death is not being backed by the breaking of all seven seals. Death's Reaper Form is much faster at any point when he turns into it as part of a Execution or finishing off a boss. | |
