Help Uriel defeat the Swarm | The Rod of Arafel Darksiders 2 Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
After your travel to the [Earth], you will see a cutscene featuring Uriel and other angels. According to the tenets of the mission, you are supposed to help the angels defeat groups of monsters representing the swarm. Go to the central part of the square and join the fights.
I suggest that, while fighting, you should at all times remain close to the angels. You can then count on them helping you and you won't be surrounded by a group of monsters out of a sudden. The swarm consists mainly of moderately strong undead creatures, but you need to remember that they are pretty agile and move quickly.
Towards the end of the battle, an exploder will appear in the battlefield. These monsters behave like kamikaze because they run up to the target and explode. Since you do not have any firearms at your side yet, I recommend tactics of jumping back as soon as you see a monster getting ready to explode.
