    This battle is a lot of fun. You're going to want to have Redemption and Deathgrip on your quick selection keys. Stay in close to the body when he swings the hammer, it makes dodging much easier. Immediately shoot the spores on his arm and switch to Deathgrip to attack the gem. Rinse and repeat! Some climbing involved with the second arm, jump off and use Deathgrip.

    This boss is living proof of how important atmosphere is. All in all, the Guardian isn’t horribly difficult, a pretty simple puzzle boss once you figure it out, but the scale of the battle, orchestral score, animation and art direction elevate it so much. This isn’t just a midgame boss, this is an ancient mechanical titan that blocks your path.

      I'm playing Darksiders 2 for the first time. Maybe I'm too old or this was better back in the day, but I am not feeling that atmosphere you are feeling.
      This fight itself is so janky.

    There's so much that game developers can learn from this game. Like the soundtrack alone can make or break a single moment in the game. I love this game because I personally believe it has one of the greatest soundtracks ever.

      @nordicfatcheese 8 років тому +36

      On the topic of what game developers could learn from this game, one of the more important lessons is that texture quality does not equal graphics. This game, if you look at it like most games on terms of texture quality and resolution, looks like shit, yet this is the single most beautiful game I have ever played. Why? The art and color. The artistic style and vibrant colors of this game are so phenomenally well done that it will always look better than any modern Triple A game, no matter how much they increase the texture quality.

    I found this game thrown on a road for the xbox 360. The cd was really really scratchy but luckily worked for me. I played it and loved it so much. One day i was playing and i was on the big stony statue with a ball beneath (forgot the name). I was moving it and the game glitched and suddenly the statue landed on a wall. I managed to get off but couldnt get the statue again. My whole game got rekt just because of that glitch. Then i got why it was thrown on a road. I deleted the profile and started the game again and finally completed it. Its one of the greatest game and reminds me a lot of shadow of collosus

    This boss was epic.
    It took me a handful of tries to get it down as I first had to get the angle for the hammer swoop evade right (not sure if I've perfected it, but I tried to run away from the hammer and towards the boss, instead of around his right side. My way works... but not as reliably as yours). The second part left me a bit confused at first, but once I realised (after about the 6th ball, and the 4th attempt) the balls followed you I knew what to do. Needed another couple of attempts to actually pull it off though.

    I didnt even realize how good th music was, but now i realize why i was so UTTERLY into this fight from start to finish. Took me a while too to realize how to get the orbs right. I was trying to shoot it while he was going to fire it and then went about ignoring and avoiding it. After being tossed around by two and then watching the third roll around long enough, i decided to shoot it and learn it floats and fling itself at you. THEN it occured to me "hey why not put the boss between me and it?"

      Don't understand why so many people rage on this boss. I managed it in under 4 minutes. Here's what I did ... Skip the cutscene, ride My Little Pony to the left hand side of the tree thingy, jump off My Little Pony once you get there, tuck yourself in where the tree thingy's root is, wait for the lumbering doofus to slam his hammer while you have your gun in lock mode, you can fire right through his hammer if you're aimed right, go through the 2 silly attack sequences, jump on My Little Pony prior to Mr. I need To Find A Day Job launches his Evil Ball, then once he does turn and continually fire at it until it becomes suspended in the air. Once it does, ride My Little Pony using speed bursts until you get 180 degrees opposite of where you suspended the Evil Ball, then turn around and watch the excitement as the doofus kneels down. The rest a 2 year old could do. Just rinse & repeat.

      Berethruu I hate when stuff like that happens. I purchased Silent Hill: Homecoming for the PS3 a couple of years ago and on 2 separate occasions the game glitched in different sections of the game where I was only about 25% of the way into the game and left me not being able to solve certain puzzles. After having to start the game all over again to solve the first puzzle, the game glitched again and I wasn't able to solve another puzzle. I haven't touched the game again since. It wasn't until after the first foul up that I read reviews of the PS3 version and found out that the PS4 version doesn't have the same issues. Alone In The Dark ( 2008 ) had the same type of issues. The PS3 version played flawless, but the PS2 version was glitchy from the very start of the game.

    1. Mapping Redemption is unnecessary. Equip Deathgrip, and you're good. When you ride Despair, it auto changes to Redemption, and back when you dismount. Stay on your horse for the shooting, ride to the gem, dismount and grip. It's a lot more efficient.
    2. You realize that you can lock onto the ball he fires after you, right...? It makes things a lot simpler.

    Yeah, nowadays there are too many games that hold your hand and consist of cinematics + button prompts. Or games where you just walk straight in one corridor and shoot everything that moves.

    I wonder if this battle was inspired by Shadow of the Colossus.

    I wanted to buy it at steam, but the steam version needs a monster pc to run without frame problems. I really dont care about the grafic in this game, it is perfect as it is.
