Find and Kill the Deposed King | Small quests Darksiders 2 Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Unlocking the quest

The quest can be unlocked in two basic ways. The first one is to defeat Thane during [The Maker Warrior] side quest. After winning the duel, you can receive a commission to kill Deposed King (Argul) along with three other monsters. The second way is to find Deposed King without the involvement of Thane, at which the quest will automatically appear in your quest log. You won't have to take the quest from Thane first, but simply kill Deposed King and go to the Ancient to receive your reward.

Find and kill the Deposed King

The Deposed King is the main mini-boss of a multi-leveled dungeon - and because he is much harder to defeat than the other monsters designated to you by Thane, I don't recommend trying to kill him too quickly. The monster resides in the [Lair of the Deposed King], located in Leviathan's Gorge in the Kingdom of the Dead. Instructions on how to reach and kill the King are found in the Additional Locations chapter.

Return to Thane

Return to [Tri-Stone], initiate a conversation with Thane and tell him you have killed the Deposed King (Argul). The primary rewards for this side quest are 603 XP and 3000 gold, although killing the Deposed King also gives you a new rare weapon, Sceptre of the Deposed King.
