Learn how to level up War's weapons with XP, find all 12 Enhancements, collect Life Stones for more health, and gather Wrath Cores for a bigger wrath meter in Darksiders.
Hey there! So, you're diving into Darksiders and want to know how to make War a total powerhouse? Let's break down how you'll be levelling up your gear and stats throughout the game. It's all about getting stronger to take on those apocalyptic threats!
Weapons and XP
First off, your main weapons – the Sword, the Scythe, and the Gauntlet – all gain experience (XP) just by using them to defeat enemies. You'll see a small bar next to each weapon on your inventory screen. As you rack up kills with a specific weapon, that bar will fill up, showing its current level. Keep using your favorite tools, and they'll get stronger!
Enhancements
These are super handy little items you'll discover scattered across the world. There are 12 Enhancements in total, and each one offers a unique bonus. You can equip one Enhancement to each of your three main weapons at any given time. Think of them as special boosts! Among them, you'll find 8 standard Enhancements and 4 legendary ones, named after your fellow Horsemen: Death, Fury, Strife, and War himself. We'll guide you to all of them!
Life Stones
Life Stones are basically extra health bars for War. You'll see these represented by green symbols below your main health bar. Defeating each of the five major bosses will reward you with a full Life Stone. Beyond that, you'll find Life Stone Shards hidden in chests throughout the game. Collect four of these shards, and you'll get another full Life Stone. There are 16 shards in total, and if you manage to collect them all, War will have a massive nine extra health bars, bringing his total to 10 Life Stones!
Wrath Cores
Wrath Cores are what you'll want to grab to increase War's wrath meter – that's the blue bar you use for special abilities. Just like Life Stones, Wrath Cores are broken into four pieces, called Wrath Shards, and these are scattered all over the map. Once you collect four Wrath Shards, you'll assemble a complete Wrath Core, which adds one full bar to your wrath meter. There are three complete Wrath Cores to find, plus 20 individual shards. Collecting everything will max out your wrath meter to 10 bars!
