Find the Lost Temple | To Move a Mountain Darksiders 2 Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Start by opening the world map to plan your journey. Your destination is The Lost Temple located in the north-eastern part of the map, and to get there you need to cross The Nook. I suggest fast travelling to [Baneswood] since it's the closest to where you need to go.

Head to the north-eastern part of Baneswood. There, find the entrance to the ruins shown on the above screen, which is a way inside [The Nook].

[TIP: A full exploration of The Nook isn't required to complete this quest. Moreover, certain places aren't even accessible because you don't have proper skills or equipment yet. The description below focuses on the shortest possible way leading directly to The Lost Temple.]

Take a look at the chest hidden behind barrels, then approach the Construct you see on the screen. Press the E button to use the Maker's Key and you'll bring it to life. Once Death sits on its back, lead it towards the hole in front of you.

The game will automatically enter Aim Mode, so the only thing you need to do is aim at the chain shown on the screen and press the middle mouse button.

Grab onto the chain and press E to climb on it. Make your way up to reach an interactive edge and otherwise inaccessible upper door. You're free to explore the ruins now.

Just as you enter the next area you'll be attacked by Tainted Construct Warriors. They're not particularly different from the regular ones, though they are a little stronger. Consequently, don't forger to use your best attacks, destroy them one by one and dodge frequently.

Afterwards, find the spot with dormant shadowbombs. Use the first one to unlock access to a chest, and the other one to unlock the interactive edge shown on the screen. Use it, naturally.

Carefully, jump down on the horizontal wooden pole, move to the end and jump over to the horizontal pillar. Move up, turn around and place yourself as the screen shows, jumping over to one of the other horizontal poles.

Jump to the neighboring poles and finally grab onto the interactive edge. Drop down carefully so as to clutch at the edge below, and move right to get to a small shelf. Go straight ahead, jump down and take the stairs to the lower level.

In the new large area, take care of the nearest Stingers and destroy their nest. When the fighting is over, smash up surrounding objects for a Boatman Coin and head towards the north door.

Be careful because this place is being guarded by fresh Tainted Construct Warriors. After eliminating the first group, go left and take the stairs leading to the upper level (the above screen). Be prepared to take down more enemies on the way.

Stop where the stairs end, turn right and jump to the interactive edge you see on the screen. Jump up to the top one and climb onto the shelf. Locate another shelf and use it to get to the ruin's exit (north-eastern part of the area).

Once you're under the open sky, head north. As soon as you enter [The Lost Temple], you'll meet Karn - talk to him to conclude some side quest matters. When the conversation finishes, find a chest and enter the temple.

[TIP: Don't forget to use up all dialogue options; you'll receive a new side quest from Karn called [Lost and Found Part 3]].
