Talk to Alya | The Fire of the Mountain Darksiders 2 Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Notice that Death has leveled up, so press the O button, go to the third tab and spend your first Skill Point. I would also recommend exploring the area in search for loot dropped by the recently deceased Constructs, and a new chest.

[TIP: The game will give you the option to assign a shortcut to the newly unlocked skill; you do it by opening the menu with the TAB button. You don't have to trouble yourself with it, though, because particular skills can be also activated by using the numeric buttons. Full keyboard assignments can be viewed in the last tab after opening the menu with the O button - Keyboard mapping.]

After taking care of the present issues, take the only available road which leads west (you can view the full map by pressing the O button and selecting the fourth tab). Soon you should reach the main part of [Tri-Stone].

Before meeting Alya, it's a good idea to talk to two other Ancients present in the area. Thane can be found in Tri-Stone's northern part. You can challenge him to a duel, triggering a side quests called [The Maker Warrior], as well as ask him for training. In the latter case, you'll get the first skill he has to offer, Harvester Revenge, for free. I strongly recommend unlocking it now, because it comes in handy in almost every fight.

[TIP: Harvester Revenge is activated quite easily, namely by dodging to the front (ALT + W) while pressing the left mouse button. I suggest using it always when there are one or more enemies a small distance ahead of Death.]

[TIP: Notice that not far from where Thane is standing there are some barrels and other objects that can be easily destroyed. Keep it in mind for the future, because a lot of such objects hold gold and potions.]

The other Ancient is a shaman woman named Muria, located in the south-western part of Tri-Stone. She can give you the side quest [Shaman's Craft]. She also sells talismans and potions.

Finally, find Alya in the south-eastern part of Tri-Stone. Initiate a conversation to receive further objectives. Similarly to other conversations, use up all dialogue options.
