  • !Warning! - Spoilers ahead for Darksiders II's Story. You have been warned. - !Warning!

    After finally defeating the Guardian that was guarding the entrance to the Tree of Life in the Forge Lands; Home to the Makers, The Horseman known as Death was ready to approach the Tree of Life to redeem his Brother. But before that, he had been alerted via the Serpent Tome that a message was left for the Pale Rider. Knowing that the only location of a Serpent Tome in the Forge Lands was back at the Tri-Stone, he set himself back to check it out. Once he had arrived at the Tome and interacted with it, he would discover a strange card:

    rsz_the_fool.png

    A Tarot Card, displaying the picture of a traveller with a Lantern on it's back, with several threats around it pointed towards them. On the card, a message was attached and read: "I offer you this invitation to compete in The Crucible. Eternal Glory awaits you on completion... If you survive. Seek me out to accept my challenge." When the card was flipped, a inscription was found and read: "Upon a new adventure, all is unknown; the traveler starts the fool, gaining knowledge as the path is revealed. The Crucible has appeared in your realm. Take with you this card and discover the identity of the sender... and their motivations."

    However... Death was not the only one to receive such an unknown invitation. Somehow whoever had created these Tarot Cards with a message attached has been able to send them across the Multiverse, into the mailboxes of many different people. Who will answer the call of this mysterious contact? And what are their motivations?

  • Alongside the character of Death, who I will be playing as, your characters will proceed towards the location of The Crucible where this unknown entity has extended invitations, rewarding Eternal Glory if you survive. However, despite The Crucible being entirely combat based in the actual Darksiders II game itself, this one shall feature many different mechanics and features such as puzzles, riddles and among other things. Most will reflect on the Tarot Cards themselves while some branch off of them but follow a similar principle. Most segments however will consist of some combat elements, that being waves of the various enemies of Darksiders II, as well as various Boss Fights as well. Do your characters have what it takes to best The Crucible's challenges alongside the Horseman, Death? Or will you crumble in defeat, bested by an unknown master?

rsz_darksiders_ii.png
Arsenal:
In combat, Death wields a pair of Duel Scythes and can perform a variety of different combinations of attacks, from chucking them at fast speeds along the ground, to aerial engagements. Due to him being one of the Nephilim, he is nearly invincible as he can take a onslaught of damage before he even begins to budge an inch, alongside his Superhuman Physical Prowess, allowing him to wield his Scythes with utmost skill and precision in order to slay his opponents. He has Accelerated Healing which enables him to recover faster than his opponents, and can call upon the art of Necromancy to either protect him with the powerful Aegis Shield or summon groups of Ghouls or Ravens to assist him in combat. His ultimate technique however is his true form; Reaper Form. Once transformed, Death takes on a larger skeletal form. His face is completely hidden in the shadows of a cowl, a large robe envelopes the rest of his body, and skeletal wings sprout from his back. He hovers slightly above the ground when fighting on the ground, and is able to use this ability to fly. While transformed, he wields a massive scythe with many skulls engraved into the flat of the blade.
