Welcome to our guide to getting the most out of Darksiders II Deathinitive Edition. This article will help you get all the achievements in the game, fix crashing issues, and give you tips to be successful. So if you’ve been having trouble, this is the place to come! We’ll figure out how to make sure you get the best possible experience from the game.
Crash Fixing
When you get to Lostlight and climb the tower to meet Archon, (A cool angel with the bright gold/yellow face), a cut scene will play and then your game will crash.
Turns out if your character is under level 18, the game goes nuts and crashes. I don’t get why it does that, but there’s an easy fix.
Just play the game more and level up until you hit 18. Problem solved. No more crashes, and you can keep on gaming!
