Despair is the Phantom Horse that Death rides in Darksiders II.

[edit] Overview

Each of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse rides along on his own horse and Despair is Death's horse. Despair surrounds himself with a green flame and also has glowing green eyes. His decayed body is partially torn and rotted away where as you can see his bones and part of his skeletal structure.

[edit] Darksiders II

During the development of the original Darksiders, many of the environments had been designed before Ruin was added to the game. Thus, War was only able to ride Ruin in select locations throughout the overworld. In Darksiders II, Despair was in mind since the beginning of development and many areas have been designed so that Death can use Despair.

Vigil Games has responded to some of the criticism that it took too long in the original Darksiders for War to acquire Ruin, so in Darksiders II Death already has Despair from the very beginning of the game. Darksiders II also has a much larger overworld than the original Darksiders, so Despair is utilized often in these open territories to traverse the land.

There is several battle sequences where Death can use Despair against large bosses. Death can use Despair when fighting the Guardian, the massive boss from The Foundry. Death will ride along on Despair and use Redemption to shoot bombs on the massive guardian. Death also has the ability to use his Scythe while riding on Despair. Death can also dash for a short period of time by pressing RB. He can do this five times until he runs of of times to use it. His dash ability will recharge after a short period of time.
