Vigil’s Lead Combat Designer, Ben Cureton, recently posted a video explaining the many ways Death deals death in Darksiders II. In this video, Cureton gives some tips on how to battle the many different creatures that Death will encounter throughout his quest. There are a variety of ways to go about playing Darksiders II. Virtually every single weapon can be used in a combo with one another to weaken and defeat enemies. Furthermore, you can combine the Scythe with faster melee weapons, or the slower heavy weapons, depending on the circumstances. Mix in the various Skill Trees and there is a lot of customization.
My own tip is that whenever you are in rooms with a large group of enemies, stick with smaller melee weapons. The heavy weapons do significantly more damage, but getting that combination of two or three hits in a row can be troublesome, as other enemies will chip away at Death. In any case, you can see the video and check out Cureton’s commentary after the jump.
