Follow this Darksiders 2 walkthrough to navigate the Phariseers Tomb, defeat the undead general, and claim the Interdiction ability. Includes secrets and loot locations.
Walkthrough
- 1Level 1: From the lift, head east. Use the death grip ring to reach a ledge for a Book of the Dead page. Return to the lift room and take the north door. Follow the path, use a death grip ring to reach a higher ledge, grab a Boatman's Coin, and activate a switch. Use the new death grip ring to cross the gap. Find a chest with the Dungeon Map. Use a bomb to lower a cage, then use death grip to cross to it and then to a second rising cage to reach the far side. Climb stairs, open a chest for a skeleton key. Backtrack to the elevator, kill wraiths, and go to Level 3.
- 2Level 3: Open the skull door and enter the large square room. Fight four wraiths, then the undead general. To defeat him, dodge his charge, use death grip to get close, hit him 4-5 times, and repeat. After the fight, find a Relic of Etu-Goth in the northwest corner and a Boatman's Coin in the southeast. Follow the north hallway to a ledge above the lift. Platform across to a raised platform and enter the door. Shoot the crystal on the statue for a Stone of Power. Destroy the corruption crystal with a bomb plant, then wall run to a pole.
- 3Level 1 (Again): Slide down to Level 1. Wall run twice left to grab a chest. Return to the first pole, slide down further, and jump backward to another pole. Jump right to a vine wall, climb up, and throw the switch to raise a bridge. Drop down, push the golden pillar off the platform, and push it across the bridge to beneath the lift. Backtrack across the bridge and up the vine wall and poles to Level 3. Return to the lift room and take the lift down to Level 2.
- 4Level 2: Enter the glowing green door and follow the hallway to a circular room. Step on the pressure plate to lower spikes and roll into the boss arena. After defeating the boss and acquiring the Interdiction ability, summon a Dead Lord using the summoning circle. Send him to stand on a pressure plate to open a gate. Open the green skull door and head across the room. Drop to Level 1. Enter the room to the south. Summon a Dead Lord and send him through the gate to step on the pressure plate. Continue to the next room, kill mummies, and use a bomb plant to bring down a yellow crystal behind a statue. Drop down the hole. Use the summoning circle to activate a pressure plate in the center of the room, allowing you to loot three chests. Be prepared for enemies to spawn after opening the chests.
