Boss 2 - War | Find a Way to Save War Darksiders 2 Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Similarly to the previous boss battle, it's good to start with focusing on War by holding the SHIFT button. This time it's actually advisable since it will make it easier for you to avoid his attacks.

War's basic attack is a series of three attacks in succession. They have quite a long range and each subsequent attack is stronger than the last. I strongly advise against attempting to break their sequence, but instead evading it while waiting for it to end.

Approach War only when he has just performed the third attack in the sequence. If such opportunity presents itself, I recommend attacking him with a two-handed secondary weapon (right mouse button), even more so since the boss needs a little time to "recover" and perform the next series.

No matter the weapon, perform a maximum of two attacks. I don't recommend doing more than that because it will give War the opportunity to parry one of them. It will render your character vulnerable for a while, and War will ruthlessly use it against you by striking you with a powerful blow.

Continue the battle following the pattern described above until you take more or less half of War's health. Get ready for an interactive cutscene during which you'll have to rhythmically press the left mouse button.

The second part of the battle isn't too special anymore. Dodge the series of the boss' attacks, waiting for the opportunity to strike on your own. Emptying War's health bar will end the struggle.
