Boss 17 - Jamaerah the Scribe | Stains of Heresy Darksiders 2 Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

The duel with Jamaerah is not too difficult, BUT only if you do not attempt any direct attacks (you can quickly lose a lot of health points this way). Instead, go for the tactics described below. Start running around the boss, keep him at a distance and avoid his two primary attacks. The first one is creating huge yellow spheres that are then sent your way.

The other one is shooting series of golden projectiles, which are best avoided by dodging sideways.

The key to defeating the Scribe is using Voidwalker that has been so far used only for solving puzzles. Use the skill and activate two portals on the ground (screenshots 1 and 2), but make sure that the second portal is activated as a reinforced one (by holding down the middle mouse button).

Position yourself in front of the first one of the opened portals and wait for the boss to send a yellow sphere your way (screenshot 1). As soon as this happens, dodge, thanks to which the sphere will be sucked in by the portal and catapulted by the other, thus dealing heavy injuries to the boss (screenshot 2).

Take the opportunity, run up to the boss and give him the best of you by launching your best special attacks. After the scribe pulls himself together, distance yourself from him and repeat the sequence described above.

Continue using the tactics. After the boss loses some 50% if his health bar, he will teleport to an upper level for a moment, and slam against the ground (keep safe distance). He will also send corrupted angels your way. Focus on eliminating the angels, but also mind the boss's attacks and try to avoid them as well.

After you eliminate the angels, focus on sending the yellow spheres through the two active portals. Do it until the Scribe's health is nearly depleted. He should go then to the upper level again and you will be promotes to the last part of the battle.

You now need to activate further two portals with Voidwalker. The first one of them needs to be activated on the upper level (screenshot 1) and make sure it is reinforced. The other one is located underneath the scribe (screenshot 2), i.e. in the spot that he occasionally lands in to create a shockwave. If the portal is not yet visible, wait for the Scribe to break a cover (this will be shown in a short cutscene) and then activate it.

Note that the Scribe now uses a different sort of attacks, i.e. yellow beams that move with a high velocity in straight lines. Just like before, also this attack needs to be used against the boss.

 

Wait for a yellow beam to appear and position yourself so you are separated from the boss by the active portal on the ground (screenshot 1). Remain there, because the beam needs to move your way. The moment the beam touches the portal, it will be transported to the upper level and will hit the boss (screenshot 2). This way, the battle concludes and the only thing left to do is watch a cutscene of conversation with the Scribe.
