Walkthrough for Darksiders' Road to the Ash Lands. Includes steps to gain Chronomancer, navigate Scalding Gallow and The Dry Road, and find collectibles.
Walkthrough
- 1Return to Samael in Scalding Gallow. He will grant you the Chronomancer ability, allowing you to use Chronospheres.
- 2Head to the northernmost part of Scalding Gallow. Use the tremor gauntlet to destroy the blue crystal blocking your path.
- 3Enter the small tunnel to the left. Collect the Blue Soul Chest inside.
- 4Continue down the tunnel to the right. When you reach the large tunnel with a gate, head into the small side room.
- 5Use the switch in the side room to open the gate. Hit the nearby Chronospere with your cross-blade to slow time.
- 6Run through the gate before it closes.
- 7In the next area, defeat the Red Golem and collect the Blue Soul Chest against the back wall.
- 8Exit the large tunnel through the passage to the right. At the top of the stairs, open another Blue Soul Chest.
- 9Perform a 180-degree turn, climb the wall, and jump to the pipe behind you.
- 10In the small dead end on the pipe to the right, find Artefact: Soldier.
- 11Continue along the pipe until you exit into The Dry Road.
- 12Move down the slope and round the corner, destroying Duskwings and Zombies.
- 13Fight off the Phantom Guard Angels at the fork in the road.
- 14On a ledge to your left behind the ruins, find an Artefact: Soldier and a chest with a Life Stone Shard.
- 15Drop down the ledge nearby to find a Blue Soul Chest.
- 16Follow the ledge around to find the ramp leading back up.
- 17From the start of the ramp, face the cliff and double jump/glide to the small cave on the other side to find a Vulgrim Location.
- 18Turn left at the crossroad, go under the bridge, and into the tunnel.
- 19Kill the Greater Dragon and any Zombies.
- 20When you see a crate held by a Demonic Plant on the ceiling, hit the plant with your cross-blade.
- 21Run up and jump to hang on the box. As the plant regenerates, it will lift the box. Shimmy around and glide to the platform to the north.
- 22Open the chest for Enhancement – Carnage.
- 23Jump back down. Use the same tactic with the box to jump to the platform on the south of the tunnel.
- 24Grab a bomb flower, stick it to the red crystal across the gap, and drop to the small ledge below.
- 25Jump across the gap to the handholds and follow the wall to the end, jumping into the small tunnel.
- 26Follow this tunnel to the end. You will exit into a large room above a pit.
- 27Lock on to all three Demonic Plants hanging from the ceiling with your cross-blade.
- 28Jump to the rope and use fast climb (dash) to cruise under them to the left.
- 29Navigate the demonic growth and drop into the tunnel opposite the entry point.
- 30Exit this tunnel through the broken area to the left.
- 31Go behind the hole you entered from, use the tremor gauntlet on the blue crystal, and open the chest for a Life Stone Shard.
- 32From the hole, head up the stairs to the left and into the side room to find another Vulgrim Location.
- 33Exit and continue north along the road until you reach the Ash Lands.
