about bugs and crashes, I've only encountered some small bugs that didn't affect my quests or actual game, but i have froze a bunch of time over my time playing.

also i found a really broken way to stay alive by finding a weapon with health steal and putting in on a possessed weapon, i literally never die on apoc. unless i get hit by a multi-hit combo.

the spider fangs are pretty much Haxorz since every crit is what it heals for, only glitch i had was in the maze turned my playstation off back on worked perfectly

I prefer lich fangs, they refill your wrath so quickly and you can spam teleport slash for massive heals

**Datonare** · 2012-08-27 14:21

Anyone else feel the game is too easy at parts? Either I sucked before, but I remember DS1 being a lot tougher on Apoc, maybe not so much with abyssal armor, but... Health steal and wrath steal are so OP it's dumb. In addition, crit rate should be capped since it's not too difficult to get 100% on NG+... heck there are a lot of balance issues imo

Although it is kind of neat being so incredibly powerful by the time you get level 30 and such. Nightmare mode is cool, but I'd have liked another diff after Apoc that increased mob health by like 5 or 10 times. The only enemy I have trouble dodging are the Suffering or w/e they are called.

Anyways, I reported last week about the awful amount of bugs I was having and how it prevented me from completing all side quests. I just finished the Ivory Citadel and only hard crashed once, with the occasional sound glitch. Not quite sure how the same game on the same system can be so different, but I'm happy not to be crashing every few hours...

only main difference i find is its a lot easier to be overwhelmed on ds2 then it was on ds1 but its a lot harder to die on ds2 due to all the health on crit and death you can put on a scythe

edit: beat the ivory citadel earlier myself once i figured it out was an easy fight

Spoiler: show

Yeah I wasn't quite sure what was going on both times, in NG and NG+ with that fight. The camera panned at the ground, like he was breaking it. I did a portal on the ground and a charged portal on the 2nd floor. Went in the ground, launched towards him and got up to him with death's grasp, hit him a few times, then fell back down into the portal. I don't think I got his hp to 0, he just eventually died after awhile or something lol

And yep, I did harbinger. 3/3 tele slash, 3/3 on the aoe dmg for tele slash, maxed out all unstoppable stuff and mostly maxed out the arcane shield thing.

Haha, I got confused at that point too, but killing him was a matter of directing his beam into the portal on the floor, and having it shoot out one of the ceiling ones to break his barrier. I thought the game had glitched or some shit at first, and then when he finally shot it and it went through the portal, I had a "fucking derp" moment.

My huge grip with the game is the collectables. To many that it distracts from my enjoyment of the game. That and the fact that I can't finish all the side quests due to my game always hard freezing each time I talk to the Maze book, so I cant get the last stone =( .

Always to worried about collecting everything to actually enjoy the world / dungeon, didn't want to have to rely on a guide but if you don't you'll miss them. Wouldn't even mind saying screw them and just play but they offer permanent stat increases, skill points and abyssal armor pieces.

**Datonare** · 2012-08-27 23:57

I agree about the collectibles, especially considering, to my knowledge, there's no item ingame that tells you if you've found all the collectibles in any given area, which would have helped a lot. Kind of like the chest locator in DS1

**Lenus** · 2012-08-28 08:13

hopefully something like that will be a reward in one of the 30/60/90 day dlc.

So anyone play this on PC yet? The combat system is just fucking terrible for keyboard I have found and there doesn't seem to be a way to change up the bindings. I wish the lock on was sticky instead of having to hold down shift, then dodge with alt and then jump with spacebar etc. Everytime I want to use an wrath ability I have to hit tab to select it. There's a hotbar but I have no clue what keys correspond to the hotbar.

Also when an enemy has a circle over their head, what does that mean? Is there any reliable way to regen health early in the game? Seems if I get hit twice i'm sitting at around 40% hp and can't ever get it back up w/o using a potion.

**Datonare** · 2012-08-28 09:51

The circle above their head means they can be executed by a single button press (O on ps3). Health in early game is pretty tough as you are confined to potions and teleport slash, if you have it. Later on when you get health on crit, and subsequently, higher crit rate, it becomes much easier.

You can change all keybindings. Open your inventory with "o" then click the movelist tab (4th one I believe) After that click the far right tab. This allows you to change all keybindings.

As for sticky targetting, use F. Keep in mind after combat you need to hit f again to turn it off. Lastly, I also found dodge with alt awkward, and switched it to space, and alt to jump. Can also change the keybindings of all abilities since theyre...terrible lol.

You'll have to change the wrath abilities to be easy to click on (for example, the 2 i use I set to 4 and 5) I set gun to t and death grip to r.

I've been playing it on PC with an xbox controller. Comes in handy for a lot of games (like DIRT among others) even though I don't even have an xbox anymore.

when fighting the deposed king in the crucible if I get frozen and pop a health potion to help recover right after massing O to get unfrozen it seems to speed up the ice dot rather then helping to recover from it. hes starting to piss me off get to 75 no problem and a freaking ice dot destroys me.

just seems like the health potion is doing more harm then helping, maybe a hidden effect on the spider fangs? Ive read one of the legendary weapons prevented the use of wrath potions.

Picked this up few nights ago. So far, it hasn't gotten my full attention like the first game did. It almost feels tedious having to look around for things, smash objects in hopes of finding something. I don't know, I'm going to get through the game but right now, may not be a game I go through a second time. Though I will defend the changes that were made, they wanted to make the 2 characters different from each other and it's a great thought.

Would anyone be willing to share their PSN ID so that I can send you a gift for the trophy?

Today I would like to announce the details for our third downloadable content pack, The Demon Lord Belial.

Little has been said of the struggles on Earth besides the story given to WAR by the Charred Council. Rumors have now surfaced that perhaps the Third Kingdom was not completely destroyed, and remnants of humanity still yet survive! It falls upon Death to seek out the truth and unearth a forgotten evil… The Demon Lord Belial.

Uncover a new adventure based on a ravaged post-Apocalyptic Earth, where Death will encounter the last remnants of humanity as well as one of his most sinister opponents yet. The Demon Lord Belial is included with the purchase of the Darksiders II: Season Pass!

The Demon Lord Belial will be available to download on Xbox 360 and PC worldwide as well as PS3 in North America on Tuesday December 4th. The European PS3 version will go live the next day on Wednesday December 5th. This DLC will be priced at 800 MS Points / $9.99.
