The visit in the [Psychameron] will start on an unfriendly note, as you'll be forced into a pretty difficult battle - Survive the Psychameron (1) - Basileus - Darksiders II - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The visit in the [Psychameron] will start on an unfriendly note, as you'll be forced into a pretty difficult battle. The first stage it a duel with two Undead Stalkers. Avoid their quick attacks at all costs, and attack using Death Grip. Similarly to other difficult battles, focus on hitting one enemy so as not to have two on your head at once.

The second stage is a battle with several Undead Prowlers and another Undead Stalker - Survive the Psychameron (1) - Basileus - Darksiders II - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The second stage is a battle with several Undead Prowlers and another Undead Stalker. I recommend taking down the Prowlers first, especially since they should die pretty easily. Leave the Stalker for last.

Once the battles are over, pick up the dropped items and head towards the gate outlined in the distance - Survive the Psychameron (1) - Basileus - Darksiders II - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Once the battles are over, pick up the dropped items and head towards the gate outlined in the distance. Go through it and for starters move up to the south shelf (a very easy climb - the above screen) to find a chest. Go back down, stand in the summoning circle and use Interdiction.

With both of the Dead Lords around, stand on the platform pictured above - Survive the Psychameron (1) - Basileus - Darksiders II - Game Guide and Walkthrough

With both of the Dead Lords around, stand on the platform pictured above. Have your helpers stand on two pressure plates (one responsible for raising the platform you're standing on, the one responsible for lowering the nearby grates). Move into the large cavern.

Get rid of Undead Scarabs in the area, then locate a new summoning circle and use Interdiction to summon both Dead Lords - Survive the Psychameron (1) - Basileus - Darksiders II - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Get rid of Undead Scarabs in the area, then locate a new summoning circle and use Interdiction to summon both Dead Lords. Send the first one to the pressure plate shown on the above screen to raise the drawbridge.

[TIP: Because Scarabs are all around the dungeon, they're not mentioned further in the description, especially since they're practically no challenge at all. What's more, you can have the Dead Lords eliminate them for you.]

Approach the closed gate and send the other Dead Lord to the pressure plate behind it (the above screen) - Survive the Psychameron (1) - Basileus - Darksiders II - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Approach the closed gate and send the other Dead Lord to the pressure plate behind it (the above screen). This will unlock further access to the dungeon.

Head east - Survive the Psychameron (1) - Basileus - Darksiders II - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Head east. When you reach a closed door, face south and send one of the Dead Lords (the game will pick which one) to go over to the pressure plate pictured on the screen. Stepping on it will unlock a way to the chest behind the helper.

[TIP: Pay no attention to the Scarabs attacking the Dead Lords; they're perfectly safe and won't be thrown off the pressure plates prematurely.]

Select Death Grip from the drop-down menu - Survive the Psychameron (1) - Basileus - Darksiders II - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Select Death Grip from the drop-down menu. Jump over to the Dead Lord on the other side of the gap and pull yourself to him by pressing the middle mouse button. Check out the contents of the chest.

Stand beside the Dead Lord, face north and locate the pressure plate seen above - Survive the Psychameron (1) - Basileus - Darksiders II - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Stand beside the Dead Lord, face north and locate the pressure plate seen above. Have one of the Dead Lords go to it. When he does, repeat the trick with Death Grip - jump over to the Dead Lord and pull yourself to him.

Start exploring the new section of the dungeon - Survive the Psychameron (1) - Basileus - Darksiders II - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Start exploring the new section of the dungeon. Head north, then jump over to the vertical wooden pole and slide down to the bottom. Enter the new chamber - there is a puzzle. Use Interdiction in the summoning circle and proceed with the puzzle.

1) Send a Dead Lord to the middle switch - Survive the Psychameron (1) - Basileus - Darksiders II - Game Guide and Walkthrough

1) Send a Dead Lord to the middle switch. It will lower the platform with a chest, though not too much.

2) Send a Dead Lord to the right switch - Survive the Psychameron (1) - Basileus - Darksiders II - Game Guide and Walkthrough

2) Send a Dead Lord to the right switch. It will fully lower the platform with the chest.

3) Send a Dead Lord to the left switch - Survive the Psychameron (1) - Basileus - Darksiders II - Game Guide and Walkthrough

3) Send a Dead Lord to the left switch. It will lower the grates blocking access to the chest.

Now you're free to approach the chest (the above screen) and take a Skeleton Key from it - Survive the Psychameron (1) - Basileus - Darksiders II - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Now you're free to approach the chest (the above screen) and take a Skeleton Key from it.

[TIP: Ignore the two chests displayed on the mini-map, because you'll be able to get to them only later in the campaign, after unlocking the Voidwalker ability (activating portals).]

Go to the shaft with the vertical wooden pole and climb it to go back up, leaning and jumping back at the end - Survive the Psychameron (1) - Basileus - Darksiders II - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Go to the shaft with the vertical wooden pole and climb it to go back up, leaning and jumping back at the end. After reaching a fork, look up and grab onto the handhold with Death Grip to reach a shelf with a Relic of Renagoth (the [Lost Relics] side quest).

Go back down, take the stairs and use the switch to open further passage - Survive the Psychameron (1) - Basileus - Darksiders II - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Go back down, take the stairs and use the switch to open further passage. You can now approach the closed door you went past earlier (the above screen) and use the Skeleton Key to open it.
