History VideoGame / DarksidersII

* CutscenePowerToTheMax: A seemingly minor one, but in the cutscene before the fight with Samael, Death is clearly seen blocking Samael's blows. [[AllInTheManual In the manual]], it's explained that Death refuses to block because he's so arrogant, he believes no one can hit him.

* AnAxeToGrind: Arguably the Pale Rider's second best available weapons.

* EldritchAbomination: [[spoiler: Absalom]]

* LeParkour: A method of traversal for Death

* TheStinger: [[spoiler: After the end credits, Lilith is confronted by the Dark Prince, reminding her that the Endwar is near. He then berates her for failing to give him the army of Nephilim she promised, and proceeds to punish her; promising that she [[AvertedTrope will not]] [[TooKinkyToTorture receive pleasure from it this time]]]]

* CameBackWrong: [[spoiler:Absolam came back as [[EldritchAbomination the Avatar of Chaos.]]]]

--> Death: "My brother, War. I would protect him above all else"

* BigBeautifulWoman: Two of them, in fact, both Makers. And they are very beautiful indeed.

* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler: Absalom, leader of the Nephilim. Not only did he return, but he had been turned into the Avatar of Corruption, born from the betrayal of the four.]]

* FragileSpeedster: Death is more agile than War, and is capable of doing many acrobatic evasions. His fighting style is a lot faster. The downside is that he cannot block.

* TheStinger: [[spoiler: After the end credits, Lilith is confronted by the Dark Prince, reminding her that the Endwar is near. He then berates her for failing to give him the army of Nephilim she promised, and proceeds to punish her; promising that she will not receive pleasure from it this time]]

--> Death: "My brother, War. I must protect him above all else"

* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler: Absalom, leader of the Nephilim. Not only did he return, but he had been turned into Corruption itself, born from the betrayal of the four.]]
* BigBrotherInstinct: Death is willing to defy the Charred Council to prove War innocent of starting the premature apocalypse.

* SummonMagic: Most of Death's magic is based around this, particularly ghouls and crows.

-->" Death is without a doubt the most badass of the Horsemen. He doesn't even have a weapon or a method of killing, all he does is show up and the shit hits the fan big time."
--> ''BadassOfTheWeek'', describing [[http://www.badassoftheweek.com/horsemen.html Death]] [[HilariousInHindsight years before the game came out]], although not as accurately as [[{{Darksiders}} last time]].

''Darksiders II'' starts at [[{{Interquel}} nearly the same time]] on the onset of the first ''{{Darksiders}}''. After War is convicted and sent back to Earth by the Charred Council, they inform the three other Horsemen of his fate. The Horseman Death, knowing that his brother War is the most honorable and incorruptible of the four, and would never have started the Apocalypse early, flies into a rage. Believing his brother is victim of a conspiracy, Death defies the Council's orders and sets out on a personal mission to find proof of his brother's innocence. Death travels to The Abyss, a place between Earth, Heaven, and Hell, to call in favors from powerful beings that rule the realm.

Unlike the first game, ''Darksiders II'' places heavy emphasis on RPGElements. Death can equip himself with various types of armor and weapon sets. A loot system has also been added, in which Death can acquire items from fallen enemies. The currency system has been changed: instead of souls, Death will make use of actual currency.

Now has a [[Characters/{{Darksiders}} character sheet]], which could use work.

* BigBrotherInstinct: Death is willing to defy The Charred Council to prove War innocent of starting the premature apocalypse.
