Darksiders: Final Hints and Tips for Achievements/Trophies

This will be my last post on Darksiders, I thought it would be a great idea to showcase the 4 achievements/trophies I missed initially or thought were the toughest to acquire.

Most of the awards are readily given via a simple playthrough but some require a keen eye or a bit of patience.

*Note: Awards= achievements/trophies*

-AERIAL PREDATOR: Kill 160 enemies with on an angelic beast.

When you get to the BROKEN STAIR and you progress until you get to a door that needs a key, SAVE the game! You need to use the right trigger/R2 to "paint" enemies with your aiming recticle and go APE SHIT. Kill everything you can and take specific notice of little green/red creatures. If you don't get it the first time LOAD that previous SAVE I made you do and try again. KEEP the faith as it took me four times to get the 160 kills and don't feel bad if it takes you more than that.

You can make the time go way faster by yelling "SUCK MY ANGEL BALLS!" throughout the whole shooting segment.

Note to reader: "ANGEL BALLS" is in reference to the projectiles you shoot during the segment NOT Wrath's genitilia. Whether Wrath's balls are angelic or demonic in nature is pure speculation and no doubt will be answered in the sequel.

-DARK RIDER: Ride for 100 miles.

You need to ride your horsey for a long time, 100 miles to be exact! The easy way to do this is to take Wrath to the ASHLANDS desert section and hop on your FLAME HORSE and ride in circles. I know what your thinking "This is taking forever, god I hate my life!"

To which I will say "Put those razor blades down! I have a better way to get this horribly conceived achievement/trophy".

I placed my controller under a table leg (light table) so that controller stick was stuck to the bottom left (or bottom right) position. This allows you to gallop in circles in the game world meanwhile you can watch TV, Talk to "others" ... eat, or whatever. How long does it take? Well in one minute I could do roughly 0.7 miles so.... you can do the math. You can check your progress by going to the map screen and checking out all your stats which includes the miles you have travelled.

Note to Xbox owners: If you are using my method above be sure to check the the controller every 10 minutes or so as they have a habit of shutting down if they are in a static position for too long.

-BATTLE HARDENED: Max out all weapons and unlock all combat moves

This one can be time consuming if you don't keep it in "mind". What does that mean? Well if you just use your sword all game you will have that much more experience to gain for the the other two weapons.

"So what?" You say.

At the end of the game there are limited amount of enemies to level up on so any levels you lack you will have to grind that much more.

Solution: Try to balance your use of all three primary weapons throughout the your playthrough.

Simply buy the combat moves as you can as they will also help with the combat segments of the game not just with your award hunting.

-OPEN AIR PARKING- Take out a helicopter during the apocalyse.

This one is easy to get and easier to miss. During the apocalypse progress until you can see a stone golem going nuts on a building -PICK UP A CAR. Walk towards the golem and a helicopter should fly above it, aim and throw.
